My Nonprofit Reviews

My wife and I been foster volunteers with RezDawg Rescue (RDR) since early 2015. We've also adopted more than one "rez dog" through RDR. It is rewarding to play a part in finding a safe forever home for these animals in need (note that RDR saves and rehomes cats as well as dogs). Having fostered many dogs that RezDawg Rescue has transported from the Four Corners region as well as having been to a few of the animal shelters in northwest New Mexico—such as McKinley County Humane in Gallup and Grants Animal Care Center in Grants—to meet some of the hardworking rescue workers "on the front lines" who are RDR's trusted partners in saving lives, I can say that RDR is striving to do everything possible to improve animal welware, not just in Colorado but also in the remote areas of bordering states NM, AZ, and UT, where the animal overpopulation problem is extreme.

As one of the few rescue operations that has transport capabilities, each year, RDR also brings hundreds of animals to Colorado for other rescue organizations, so people who have adopted animals through other Colorado animal rescues may have unknowingly gained a cherished family member through the efforts of RDR.

RezDawg Rescue also conducts spay and neuter and vaccination clinics in remote, low-income areas where the residents are both hundreds of miles from the closest veterinary service provider and often lack transportation to cover that distance.

No rescue operation can save every animal, especially when funds and limited and the "staff" is nearly all volunteers with day jobs, families, and their own animals to care after as well, but I'm proud to be a part of RezDawg Rescue, a nonprofit rescue that has been working tirelessly to make a difference in animal welfare for a decade.
