I volunteered at Underdog rescue to help tame a feral dog to increase her chances of adoption, unknowingly beginning an incredible, life-changing journey after adopting and taking her home. It doesn't take much to make a HUGE difference in this world, and here is a chance to do something really, really good and feel great in the process. Just a couple of seconds and a few bucks from someone helped save the life of my dog, Prudence. It's easy, and it feels great to know you're helping to change the world. Just a few clicks - and even just a few bucks can be life-changing and life-saving!


#GivingTuesday is a global day for generosity. Join me in supporting real change to create more good in the world and make a difference. Help us make a significant impact in reducing the stray animal population while supporting Native American families on the Navajo Nation for Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab

Why do we want to do a spay and neuter clinic monthly in 2022? Learn more below!

There are an estimated 250,000 stray dogs roaming the Navajo Nation. The life expectancy of these stray pups is just two years unless rescued due to disease, lack of resources, and predators. This overwhelming stray population stems from the issue that the majority of dogs on the reservation are unaltered, including the owned dogs.

The biggest reason owned dogs are unaltered is that many Native Americans cannot afford these simple surgeries. Roughly one-third of the population lives without running water and electricity. Only two veterinarians serve the entire Navajo Nation (an area the size of West Virginia), so there is very minimal access to spay and neuter. Not only are these clinics booked out for months, but only one in six Native Americans have a working vehicle, and gas along with the price of medical care for pets is too high. Underdog is here to help!

Underdog contracts out a mobile clinic to go directly to remote communities on the Navajo Nation to provide free spay and neuter surgeries and other necessary medical care to owned animals. They bring thousands of pounds of pet food donations and other requested donation items to communities such as hygiene kits, winter coats, and backpacks and shoes for children. They bring unwanted stray dogs back with them on the last day of their clinics, and they've rescued as many as 92 dogs from one clinic! They invite, educate and empower community members to take an active role at their clinics, and they host a dinner for community leaders at each clinic to help educate their team on how we can best support the Navajo Nation.

I am asking you to help Underdog hold more spay and neuter clinics on the Navajo Nation in 2022. Help us create happier, healthier communities to our neighbors in need, both animals and humans alike.
