Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Animal Transport - Relocation & Rehoming Services
Rescuing dogs and cats from the Four Corners region of the US Southwest keeps our team busy! We coordinate with the Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Reservation, rural Southwest border communities, in addition to high volume shelters to transport animals every other week to the Front Range Colorado. We are grateful to be in partnership with Best friends Animal Society, having received a $60,000 Pet Transport Grant two years in a row! The animals transported to Colorado not only go to RezDawg Rescue volunteer's homes, but also to partner Colorado animal rescue organizations.
Each transport costs an average of $950 and we operate an average of 46 transports each year.
Foster and Adoption Services
Adopting an animal through RezDawg Rescue creates a positive impact in three ways: enriching your life by adding a loving new family member, saving a deserving cat or dog, and decreasing the homeless pet population in the southwestern US. We’ve heard many people say that adopting a RezDawg Rescue animal not only saves the animal’s life, but helps save their own. Also, your adoption fee assists more animals in finding their permanent homes, funds relocation and transportation, and provides emergency medical and spay/neuter services.
Pet Pantry
We are partnered with the Greater Good Charities to provide donated pet food and supplies to other rescues, shelters and animal control agencies.
Mobile Spay/Neuter & Vaccination Clinics
Mobile clinics on and around the Navajo Nation and rural communities. We spay/neuter over 500 each year and vaccinate over 1500!
