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”

Hudson:

We adopted Hudson (Duke), August 2 of last year.  Boy did our quiet lives change quickly!!!   The first few months with our little huddy buddy were quite challenging, asking ourselves daily what we had got into.  We often found his head in the toilet bowl, wanting to go outside every 5 mins and I'm pretty sure we didn't get more than 5 hours of sleep the first 3 months. We quickly made the decision to send Hudson to an obedience residence program, and it was the best decision we could have made. He surely didn't come back perfect, because we can't forget he is still a one year old lab, but our experience was both positive and effective.  Hudson enjoys a 4 mile walk almost everyday, even during this cold winter with his brother Max (an 8 year old black lab that I rescued in North Carolina in college).  Hudson had progressed so wonderfully he is now even sleeping in our bedroom on his own bed for almost 7 hours now.  He loves cuddling on the couch while we watch TV at night, enjoys his KONG, and lives for meal time.  He is so sweet and goofy and we are so happy he is in our lives.  We are looking forward to warm weather so we can introduce him to the lake.  We still have a lot of work to do, but wouldn't trade him for the world.
