Gertie’s Story, Part 2/by Steven Sable
RezDawg Rescue
by Doug Kalish
2y ago
In the words of Polly (Gertie’s original rescuer,) she has a face only a mother could love. That makes us all mothers…   From Part 1 of Gertie’s story:  “Gertie had been rescued but wasn’t out of danger. She was in much worse shape than Polly knew…” Polly knew Gertie’s obvious problems were alarming enough.  Good nutrition would eventually rejuvenate her immune system and that would allow the wound on her cheek (that refused to heal) to heal itself.  But her crooked snout could be a big problem.  Was this a “beauty mark” that had healed and allowed Gertie to thrive or ..read more

2019 was an incredible year for so many dogs and cats! Thanks to our incredible network of volunteers, fosters, donors, rescue partners and fans, RezDawg Rescue had a positive impact for a lot of families. In 2019, we drove 81,200 miles during 58 trips across the Four Corners region so that we could rescue 1,754 dogs and cats. The numbers show a powerful story of how we continued to work with communities to save homeless pets through our transport, fostering, medical treatment and adoption efforts!

RezDawg Rescue

We feel a sense of accomplishment when our animals are adopted into loving homes. True, we didn’t make them cute and irresistible. But we did rescue them from the Rez, made sure they were healthy and socialized, and generally hung out for a few weeks getting to know each other. We become invested. That’s why we love receiving the one-year adoptaversary pics/video/story updates our adopters send in. They’re confirmation that the RezDawg adoption process effectively finds “loving homes.” But you know whats better than that? Adopters who send updates and return to adopt from RezDawg again. (And a ..read more

Last chance to save 2,000 RezDawgs and Rez Cats in 2019! Even a $10 donation saves lives… Your generosity throughout 2018 helped us rescue, transport, spay/neuter, vaccinate, foster, and adopt over 1,600 animals in need from the Four Corners Region. Our goal is to rescue over 2,000 animals during 2019 and to do that, we need your help. Time is running out to make a tax-deductible, year-end gift to RezDawg so we can save more animals in need like Jax. Jax arrived on a recent RezDawg transport with three broken legs and a bullet in his belly ..read more

A change in venue for a Rez Dog in need meant a life change for the Andrews’. The crucible that is the Rez produces strong, smart and loving dogs.  Generation after generation of RezDawgs face starvation, abuse and plain old bad luck.  But nature provides and when a Rez dog faces a problem, they overcome adversity by depending on ancestral knowledge passed down by true survivors.  Good mamas explain, “when you’re hungry, bees are an option but leave the wasps alone.”  Rez dogs know which grasses sooth an upset tummy and how to identify bad water.   They come ..read more

RezDawg People – Carol Kuzdek by Steven Sable

Danny was fostered by Carol Kuzdek – and it wasn’t a simple endeavor. Danny came down with panleukopenia (equivalent to canine parvo) but with LOTS of intervention, she survived… and was adopted to a young girl who wanted a kitten so badly she watched YouTube videos on how to take care of kittens.  They’re best buds these days… When we started this blog, we promised we’d “toss you over our shoulder and take you on a tour of Rez Rescue.”  The mission is simple:  to share information about what we do, how we do it, and introduce you to the amazing people who make it all happen.

Frodo. We took a vote: more cuteness isn’t physically possible. Find him at https://www.rezdawgrescue.org/adopt-a-rescue-animal/adoptable-cats/ Rescue requires a higher level of customer service than retail, banking or the restaurant business.  In simple terms, rescues need to maintain a higher attention to detail because our clients are also our bosses – and because we have so many of them. We work for the dogs/cats we rescue and owe them the best possible experience.  We’re directly responsible for making sure our volunteers have a great time while making the world a better place ..read more

Gearing Up for Puppy and Kitten Season by Steven Sable
RezDawg Rescue
by Doug Kalish
3y ago
RezDawgs come in all sizes, shapes and unique dispositions. RezDawg is gearing up for puppy and kitten season and the only limiting factor on how many Rez Dogs and Rez Cats we can save is the number of spaces available in our foster network – now over 100 strong (and growing.) If we want to rescue more Rez animals in 2017 than we did in 2016 (and we do,) we need more foster homes for both dogs and cats. We hope this basic information will give you a flavor of what’s involved and convince you to give it a try – at least once. What does it mean to “foster” a RezDawg? Fostering with RezDawg means ..read more
