DG Honors Hot Springs’ Lucky the Dog with Donations to Local Animal Shelter, Libraries

In July 2023, Dollar General shared the story about a dog named Lucky who was known for wandering into his neighborhood DG in Hot Springs, Arkansas, making people smile with his adventurous personality. Upon Lucky’s recent passing, his family reached out to DG to explore collaborating on something special to remember Lucky’s legacy within the Garland County community.

In honor of Lucky and in support of the community, DG invited the Cangelosi family to join them for a surprise presentation of a $5,000 donation to the Humane Society of Garland County (HSGC), a no kill, nonprofit shelter dedicated to making a difference in the lives of animals in Hot Springs.

“Our family is so thankful not only for the support of our community, but for helping us preserve and share the sweet memories of Lucky,” said Tanner Cangelosi, Lucky’s mom. “Our son, Judah, who wrote the book, loves animal shelters and is so excited to be a part of this unique way to honor Lucky while helping other animals in need.”
