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”

Millie:


5 years ago my husband and I adopted our first rescue dog and the bond that formed between us was like no other.  Over the years, I always knew that a second dog was in our future but it was really up to our current canine to accept another pup into the “pack.”  When my husband and I decided it was time, we happened to come across Millie; a sweet, young, yellow lab mix who was just rescued from a high-kill shelter in South Carolina. 
When we first laid eyes on her, we knew that she was destined to be a part of our family.  Cute, sassy and a young spirit, we knew that she would give us a run for our money but we could not have been prepared for the level of excitement that she was about to bring with her.  The second that we met her, it was meant to be; we were her new family and as an early birthday present, I was going to be her forever Mommy (couldn’t have asked for anything better in the entire world)!
No doubt the transition period was just that; a transition.  We went from a household of relaxation and comfort to a whirlwind of puppy terror.  Millie was ready to rock, ready to play, run and terrorize our senior dog and extra senior cat.  Oh boy, we needed to switch gears and get this pup into obedience school and run her like crazy.
 Millie graduated adolescent kindergarten, has learned boundaries and is in love with her older brother.  More importantly, she has found where she belongs and knows that she will always be taken care of no matter the circumstance. 
We can’t say enough wonderful things about rescuing animals.  From the love and bond that they form to the feeling of joy and fulfillment that comes with knowing that we’ve saved a life – we will forever adopt and are HUGE advocates for others.
Millie is truly the love of our lives and as an early birthday present to me, she has fallen head over heels in love with her Mommy.  My heart swells every single day that I wake up to her or come home to her smiling and waiting for me.  We love her so much and thank each of the Rudy’s Rescue volunteers for all the work they do and for choosing us as Millie’s forever home. 

And on behalf of Millie, she thanks you too; for finding the best fit for her as well.
We are forever grateful,
Karen, Dwight, Charger, Millie and Bubba
