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”

Sawyer


Sawyer is doing great! He had a stomach bug a few months ago and couldn't keep his medicine down, so he did have a short seizure then but other than that his seizures are about every 35-40 days.

We had almost 20 HUGE turkeys in our backyard a few weeks ago & I didn't notice them until we were walking out the door for his morning walk and he just walked right into them and tried to sniff a few before they realized he was a dog and flew away. He didn't bark or even chase them! Sometimes I wonder if he could get any more mellow, 20 turkeys are supposed to be a dogs dream come true, right?

We made the decision 8 weeks ago to give him the house to himself uncrated during the day. So far he's had no accidents (we block the stairs so he can't fall down them in the event of an upstairs seizure) and has been doing great! Every seizure he has had with us has been in the early morning hours anyway, so we figured a during the day one was not likely. He did figure out how to open the recycling bin and he fished out the rinsed out peanut butter jar and licked it clean - you can't really blame him for that one because we put PB in his hollow bone sometimes as a treat - and our couch is starting to have a distinct sleeping dog indent on the one side he likes!

Anyway - a big thank you to everyone there. The follow-up call was great, the whole process at Rudy's was amazing and we got the most beautiful, loving dog as a part of our family out of it...he was definitely meant for our family and we can't imagine life without him!!
