World Rabies Day 2.0
Chinle, AZ
We visited Chinle community today and had a great turnout. Thank our partners IHS Environment Health Fort Defiance, Greater Good Charities and RezDawg Rescue, Inc. Thank you to our pet parents for coming out! Thank you to our staff for giving up a Saturday to help in our grassroots communities!
Today was definitely an urgent care day with the 5 patients we examined. They took up most of our day but glad we could help animals and their caregivers from our communities on Navajo. Babe, the pig has some pretty bad wounds from attack by dogs. We had to clip, clean wounds and start on antibiotics.
Pigs can overheat amd are very sensitive to medications. We're glad his owner was able to bring him in for treatment. We'll continue to do our best with our resources.
Thanks for being a top engager and making it on to my weekly engagement list! 🎉 Mycal Blackgoat, Cyn Cha Faye, Terry Thompson, Roger James, Cheryldine Begay

Access to Veterinary Care
Providing services in Many Farms Community
February was National Spay Awareness Month. We were so busy that month that it was difficult to post our activities. We went into Many Farms community and assisted with a home visit. Access to Veterinary Care at its finest with our Mobile Unit Brownie! Their home area is an area where canine dumping occurs. A different rescue helped with puppy surrenders but with 10 dogs and more than half of them females they were gonna be faced with multiple litters soon in addition to trying to support with Veterinary care. So what did RezDawg Rescue, Inc and Rez-Solutions and Animal Shelter, Inc do? We put our heads, finances and staff together to make a difference.
10 dogs= 6 spays, 4 neuters
5 Mange treatments
3 TVT TREATMENTS
1 forelimb amputation (the doggy had previous fracture and healed over with a severe limp and joint disease)
TVT is transmissable venereal tumor that is spread by coitus causes severe bleeding and growths of vulva and pen*s areas. Only treatment is chemotherapy along with Spay/neuter to help stop coitus. So in a visit we helped with prevent unwanted litters within that group of dogs, prevent mange from becoming worst, dewormed them for zoonotic diseases and vaccinated all dogs, treated for TVT. We ALSO did a forelimb amputation to help make one dog more comfortable with his deformed limb. He got transferred to RezDawg Rescue for medical fostering and is now up for foster and/or adoption.
These types of assistance is pure grassroots directed care. These dogs were pure rez dogs that needed the assistance.
If you would like to help towards our mission of bringing Access to Veterinary Care to Tribal Lands please contact us. We could use medical items, monetary donations, etc.
Thank you again!
Amazing owners, pets, partners and staff make another day of spay/neuter memorable. We will all continue to make difference. Our owners/pets are the best. They truly made a full fledge effort to get to the clinic today. We could've canceled, they could've canceled but no excuses today just solutions! Enjoying our New Year. We are very thankful to Dahozy Arena. They have allowed us to help thousands of animals this past year and have not asked for anything in return but just to help the people and animals on Navajo.
