What to say?.. As I sit down to write this update on my animal rescue, I am keenly aware of how uncomfortable this is for me! But because it's "Giving Tuesday", I know this is the perfect time to inform everyone that Rosy's Rescue has some exciting and heartfelt changes happening soon, donations are needed to keep us going, and with kindness & gratitude, we move through it all!
In The Beginning: "Rosy's Rescue" began as an offshoot of Roosevelt Veterinary Center via a partnership with Dr. Glassman and me back in 2020. Since then, Dr. G has had to pull-out of the rescue as her veterinary practice has expanded and become increasingly busy making her ability to participate in the rescue impossible. Although I will continue to use Dr. Allison Glassman and Roosevelt Vet for the rescue'd animals care, we feel a name change is needed to truly establish the rescue as it's own entity. Soon, we will have our own website and will not be piggy-backing off of Roosevelt Vet's website. We think this will make it easier for folks to understand who we are and what our mission is!
What's In A New Name? As many of you already know, I've recently suffered two heartbreaking deaths in my family. The first being my niece Alicia -- a lovely young woman who left behind two beautiful children and many animals -- who was a true lover of animals and a dedicated Veterinary Technician. In honor of her I've decided to call the rescue, "Aunt Wendy's Rescue", because "Aunt Wendy" is what she called me:(
Her Dad, my brother Chuckie, recently passed-away suddenly, leaving an excruciating whole in our family. They were both simply good people! So the "new" version of the rescue will allow me to continue to rescue the furry lives in need and bring joy to those who adopt them, while I simultaneously honor both my niece and my brother!
Manifesting This...: Eventually we'd like to have a "storefront" where the animals live until they're adopted. A place where they safely (dogs) spend much time outside playing in fenced-in areas (think doggy daycare for rescues), where daily walks are a constant, and their living space resembles a home as opposed to a kennel. Our goal is to start the training process with love and patience, while they journey through their adoption process. Kitties will have their own space too, where they can play within safe confines, and not be kept in small cages while they wait to be matched with their forever family.
In A Perfect World: This structure will also be a coffee house, where visitors can hang-out and make appointments to meet, walk and play with the dogs/puppies/cats/kittens. Adoptions can be done throughout the day, everyday!!! In the evening, the coffee house will be closed to the public but be used as a safe-place for organizations such as AA to gather and host meetings.
In The Meantime: We will continue to foster all of our rescues at our home in CT, - as a doggy day care for rescues, and kitty haven upstairs in our barn. (Yes, I vacuum and mop A LOT).
Thanks so much for reading this. The new website will be auntwendysrescue.org but it's not up and running yet.

Rosy's Rescue needs donations to maintain the rescue on a very basic level, but also for high-cost testing that some of our rescues need for proper diagnosis and treatment, prior to adoption. Currently, our Abbi's (7-year-old Black Lab/Hound mix ...
