For the Love of Poodles & Pooches Rescue of Richmond (FLOP) is our charity for 2024/25. We will start raising funds beginning in July. FLOP’s motto is “truly the most heartfelt dog rescue.” Their goal is to provide compassionate care for dogs and find them loving, forever homes. The rescue has grown and now lovingly cares for and places dogs of ALL breeds, mixes, sizes, and ages. Most of the dogs had a rough start in life and the rescue makes sure every dog is provided with proper veterinary medical and dental care, microchipping, grooming, food, and supplies prior to adoption. FLOP carefully vets applicants to make good matches and ensure success in the new homes. Veterinary care is the largest expense and adoption fees do not come close to covering the payments. FLOP relies solely on donations from their followers, friends, and devotees. They are entirely volunteer run, have no salaries or administrative costs, so every dollar donated goes directly to the veterinary and daily care and re-homing of dogs. If at any point the adoption is not working out, the rescue dog can be returned to FLOP. FLOP’s mission is vetting, nurturing, and placing all the dogs in their care.
