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”

Happy Ending Tails

Smokey

We love Smokey; she has been a wonderful addition to our family.
My daughter Mia (age 8) begged for a dog once she accepted that she was never going to have a sister (she has 3 brothers!). After one year of research and pleading, my husband and I accepted that getting her a dog would be a great thing. We were so lucky to find Smokey at Rudy's Rescue. Smokey was 9 1/2 years old when we got; she had been abandoned by her previous owners after a divorce. She is wonderful with all 4 children, indifferent to the 2 cats, and a walking companion late every night for my husband. She is very accepting of Mia's "pampering"; Smokey gets her nails painted bright colors by Mia, often wears colorful handmade "accessories" and is an ever-constant friend. As I said, we have been very lucky.
After Mia had Smokey for about 6 months, she went about starting a fundraiser for needy animals at Rudy's Rescue. Mia made and sold jewelry to family and friends; I believe that she ended up donating around $40 to Rudy's Rescue (at $1 a piece, she certainly made a lot of jewelry!). We were all very proud of her. Also since adopting Smokey, Mia has decided to be a vegetarian. When people ask her how she came about this decision, she simply says that she loves animals and can't stand the thought of them being killed for her sake. She's been a vegetarian for a year now! This is quite a feat for a now-9-year-old!
We are so glad that we came across the Rudy's Rescue website. Whenever we hear of someone considering adopting a dog, we always recommend Rudy's. I have attached two photos of our happy dog!
Happy Holidays!
