Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation (LDCRS) is a volunteer-run organization with a small paid staff. It is located in Falls Church, Virginia. It has placed 2,000 dogs and cats per year for adoption. This community project idea was to select, buy, and deliver necessities such as dog collars, toys, and food to help out LDCRF during COVID-19 pandemic. Through this humble contribution, we want to cheer them on their continuous work and dedication to animal welfare.
