About Rudys Rescue

Dear Fellow Dog Lover,

I would like to introduce you to Rudy’s Rescue. We are a non-profit, all volunteer organization with a 501 (C) (3) tax exempt status. You probably know that Labrador Retrievers have long been one of the most popular breeds of dogs. What you might not know—and what you might find hard to believe, is that many of them end up homeless, abandoned, surrendered, and/or in need of being rescued from “kill shelters” and puppy mills. That’s what we here at Rudy's Rescue focus our efforts on - saving these deserving dogs who, through no fault of their own, have been cast aside and/or left to live a life lacking in love and kindness.

This process involves transporting, fostering, temperament testing, appropriate medical care as needed, including spaying and neutering, and finally adoption into a loving forever home. Our wish is that someday every animal will have a safe and loving place to call home and we will no longer be needed. You may see our mission statement, success stories (including Winchester, pictured above, who has found a loving forever home) and information on the many Labs we are currently fostering at www.rudysrescue.org.

Sincerely,
Amy P. Holtz
Founder and CEO

“Dedicated to turning one person’s trash into another person’s treasure”

Loki (Dallas)


Loki has quickly become the love of our lives here at our home and is getting along very well. He has been growing at a considerable rate over the past few months, averaging 10lbs a month. At last weight check here at home he was at 65lbs (7 months). He has a beautiful coat with a little white spot on his tail and a some white fur on his hind legs. He is a "Looker" as everyone tells us how cute he is and wants to know what we're feeding him! Dog food and treats....no people food. He took to his crate immediately and continues to go there when he needs a sound sleep. Santa did bring him a bed that he uses at night protecting us outside our bedroom door.

Everyday he has been getting an average of 2 good walks and when time and weather permits a good dose of exercise as well running or X-C skiing on the cinder paths in the park behind our home with my wife Jenny or next to me on my Mtn Bike of which he really loves. He loves to carry a stick in his mouth along the way for good measure when he's feeling really proud! We continue to work on taking a ride in the car as he has some issues with motion sickness and we're hoping he will grow out of this as he gets older. He has also taken to playing with the "Chuck-It" and tennis ball, retrieving like a labrador should! Socially he has been wonderful with both canine and human friends. Loki passed the YMCA dog obedience class with flying colors this summer and we continue to work on commands and obedience as he continues to grow. He follows most commands very well and is eager to please. Of course at times his active little brain will go on the fritz while sniffing around and he reminds us that yes, he is still a puppy! House training him has been a no-brainer with an occasional minor accident that is to be expected. We've found that the natural rubber Ruffwear and Zogoflex Westpaw toys seem to hold up with his chewing very well as he has demolished any fabric type toys we've given him in a matter of minutes. :-)
We greatly thank Rudy's Rescue for letting us have Loki in our lives...
Looking forward to attending a Rudy's rescue function this next summer if possible. Thanks!
