RUN AROUND DOG TOWN RESCUE — 2026 UPDATE
It has been a busy year at Run Around Dog Town Rescue.
So far in 2026, RADT has helped 171 dogs through rescue, long-term care, foster care, and assisted transfers.
132 dogs rescued/intaken in 2026
35 long-term resident dogs continue to call RADT home.
Mario & Luigi successfully transferred last week. The Curly Six, our six Heeler puppies, are transferring today, along with three Husky/Jack Russell puppies.
Dragon remains safely in foster care while his person is hospitalized.
We are also assisting with the transfer of four Husky-mix puppies at Lakota Small Farms. Rather than bringing them onto our property, we're leaving them there so they can remain with their mother as long as possible while RADT coordinates their transfer.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RESCUE DOG READY?
The number of dogs we help is only part of the story. Every dog we take in requires time, food, supplies, transportation, and veterinary care before they're ready to move on.
For the dogs coming through RADT, that routinely means two Parvo vaccinations, a Bordetella vaccination, deworming, Parvo testing, health checks and monitoring, additional medications or treatment when needed, and transportation and transfer expenses. Every dog transferring to Colorado also requires a health certificate.
And that's before all the other necessities: cleaning supplies, kennels, bedding, disinfectant, puppy pads, equipment, fuel, and the countless hours spent feeding, cleaning, transporting, socializing, and caring for these dogs.
RADT is currently going through approximately 50 POUNDS OF DOG FOOD EVERY DAY.
When you see that RADT has helped 171 dogs so far in 2026, we want people to understand what is behind that number. Every one of those dogs represents food, veterinary care, vaccinations, supplies, transportation, and a tremendous amount of work.
We're incredibly proud of what we've accomplished, but doing rescue work at this scale carries a very real financial cost.
Every bag of dog food helps. Every vaccination helps. Every donation helps us get another dog safely to the next chapter of its life.
To everyone who has donated, transported, fostered, adopted, shared our posts, or simply helped spread the word: thank you. We could not do this without our community.
171 dogs helped in 2026 — and the year isn't over yet.
