Pet Rescue By Judy

Pet Rescue By Judy is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue of cats and dogs. Many of them come to us with medical needs. They are doctored to the best of our ability and resources.  We do not have a shelter, but, instead, house our rescued animals in private homes until we can find loving homes for them.

Obviously our most urgent goal is to rescue animals that are abandoned or in distress, update their vaccines, and find good new homes for them.  But we attempt to be more proactive than that.  It is our heartfelt desire to prevent any animal from the need to be "rescued." With that vision in mind, we take a three-prong approach through the education of pet owners and the general public about:  
- proper care of animals, including correct diet of good quality food, fresh clean water, daily exercise, and lots of love
- spaying and neutering companion animals (dogs and cats) in order to prevent euthanasia and over-population
- low-cost spay/neuter clinics and wellness centers in their local community

Many of the animals we receive arrive from less than ideal situations.  We want to help them recover their health while not risking the health of our other animals, and stop the cycle of breeding unwanted pets. With that in mind,  each rescued animal undergoes medical and screening procedures: 
- Each animal is examined for immediate medical problems and has its ears cleaned and nails trimmed. 
- All animals are bathed, immediately administered flea/tick preventative, dewormed and tested for heartworm. 
- Shots are updated, including a rabies vaccination. 
- All pets are microchipped using the Home Again microchip system. 
- Cats are tested for feline leukemia/AIDS and vaccinated.
