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

Sweeny


My husband & I adopted Sweeny (previusly known as Sweetie/Maggie) in August of 2007. It was believed that she was approximately 3 1/2 years old and from Ohio. Not much was known about her history...only that she had been given up twice. I am happy to say that today Sweeny is a wonderful dog...we love and enjoy her so much! She is great with kids, people and other dogs.
I must admit the first few months were a bit hard (to say the least!) ...we really had to gain her trust. She was also a "runner" which proved to be a challenge. We were determined to make her a part of our lives! Her "foster family" the Valicenti's worked with us tremendously. Suzanne Valicenti was so supportive during Sweeny's transition period...we will always be so grateful! I am sure they would be thrilled to see Sweeny run freely along Lake Erie with us!
Being a family who have always loved Labs (Sweeny is our third) this past Thanksgiving we had 3 in our home....our 2 daughters each have very young labs...so we had a black, choocolate, and thanks to Rudy's Rescue our yellow Sweeny!
Thanks to all & Happy Holidays
Mike and Jan
