Hello Supporters!

My name is Bridget. I have been with Alaska Underdogs for a little over a year now. I am working to group everyone together and get the rescue back to flowing again.

If you are interested in helping, please feel free to reach out. Fosters are always needed. Sometimes transport is needed. Donations allow us to continue to provide care and training for the dogs we are able to help move on to their forever homes.

Thank you all for the continued support of this amazing rescue and I hope we are all able to pull together for this amazing rescue that Bethany poured her heart and soul into. ❤️

Friends and supporters,

After deep consideration and many, many discussions with my family, I’ve decided to step away from leading the rescue. I’m absolutely devastated but know it is the right decision for myself and my family. I’ve met some of the most compassionate and wonderful people through starting this organization, and together we’ve worked to help behaviorally challenged dogs get a second chance at forever homes through Training, Love, and Consistency.

The reasons for this decision are deeply personal and so, so challenging. I do not see an end in sight for at least the next two years, and it is so overwhelming. Suffice it to say, my children and family need more of my time and presence. On top of that, the weight of constant surrender requests without enough foster homes to house them has become overwhelming, and I recognize that I cannot give both my family and this organization the attention they deserve. No matter what I do on my own, it will never be enough, but I plan to continue working with this organization and others to improve the lives of every dog I’m able, as I am able.

Whether the nonprofit will continue on without me or close will still need to be decided, but what will never change is the gratitude I feel toward every volunteer, foster, adopter, donor, and supporter who made this work possible. Together, we saved lives, and that is something to be forever proud of.
From the bottom of my heart—thank you. 🐾❤️

Man, if you think that this is an issue that is only affecting those here “illegally,” you are sadly mistaken. This is from one of our adopters, who is a US citizen, and her husband is here LEGALLY. She is afraid of being separated, even a temporary separation. Can you blame her?

If you have it in your heart to adopt a BIG BOI, or can help out financially to get this guy back here (his original shipping cost was around $500) please reach out PRIVATELY. I reserve the right to turn off the comments if this post becomes politically charged. Keep it civil, keep it productive.

When we get blessed with donations, we love to pass the blessing along to others, as well! Whenever I pick up a pallet donation from a local business, we “get what we get,” so to speak, which often includes cat food and cat supplies in addition to dog food and dog supplies. We like to pass it on to Clear Creek Cat Rescue!

This week, we had an abundance of dog food that our fosters couldn’t utilize, so we bundled bags of dog food to be included in care packages for the local homeless population. This effort was coordinated by Crystal, one of our wonderful fosters. We got to catch up, chat, and bag up 2 large boxes worth of food to donate to a local organization that will add the food to care packages to be handed out to our most vulnerable citizens. There are many veterans and others who are homeless with service animals/ESAs who would rather go hungry themselves than let their dogs suffer. This will help to ease that burden slightly, and we’re happy to help in any way we can.

We now have answers about Tucker! The fabulous Dr. Duden of Palmer Veterinary Clinic ruled out Addison’s Disease, but Tucker does have EPI (Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) which means his body cannot produce sufficient digestive enzymes, leading to his malnourishment despite eating a proper diet. He is now receiving supplemental digestive enzymes, and vitamin injections for the next 6 weeks because he was deficient. Shaun has said that he is already seeing improvements, such as firmer stool, only 36 hours later! Tucker will require supplements for the rest of his life, but it will greatly improve the quality of his life, and he should live a normal, full life.

His care is easy, but costly…his supplements will run about $300 per month, according to Dr. Duden. She said some people have supplemented with cow/pig pancreas with good results, but we don’t have a source, and it’s not a sure thing. We’re committed to keeping this guy healthy, but we could definitely use your help.

Yup. I have dogs in my kitchen while I cook. 🫣 But this is what it looks like: Luna and Remy already know to go to their bed or to wait outside the kitchen (on the carpet) while I’m cooking. Vickie is learning. But today, I only had to send her back to the bed twice. (“Ah ah!” as soon as she steps off, and “Bed!” to send her back) it definitely helps that we have them do the same routine before breakfast every morning: they go to their bed, wait for me to fill all of the bowls and place them on the floor, and then they wait for me to call them off, one by one (“Luna, break! Remy, break! Vickie, break! Putt, break!”). Even the chihuahua. Even the puppy.

***Tucker has another appointment on Monday, 7/21 to try to get to the bottom of his low weight/low energy/low cholesterol issue***

🤍***Thanks to an incredibly generous donation, we have the necessary funds for the next round of testing! Tucker will need ongoing care, so additional donations are always appreciated, but this current need is covered!***🤍

Well, it looks like it ISN’T Addison’s, but there is still something going on with Tucker. So it’s back to more panels….the Invoice is what we’ve already paid, the Estimate is what we’ll still need to pay just for the panels, and this is just to figure out what’s going on with this big guy. We’re committed to finding out what’s going on with him, and any financial help would be so appreciated! If you’re unable to help financially, just sharing this post would be so helpful!

Squishy spam 🤍

I still believe there’s a home out there for this guy! He has such great qualities: he loves people (especially kids), he’s obedient in the house with a great bed stay, he’s great out in public and loves greeting strangers. But, due to his history, he needs to be the only pet in the house. He now does well with my dogs, but I would not allow him to be social with other dogs without a muzzle and close supervision. He’s been muzzle-trained, and has attended Reactive Rehabilitation through Alaska Dog Boarding & Training, Inc./ Lytle's K-9's. He’s a bit of a couch potato and has a propensity to get fat, but we’re keeping him lean. He is so affection and food motivated! This boy charms everyone he meets, but needs a special household for his forever home. If that sounds like you, fill out the application here: www.alaskaunderdogsrescue.org/foster-adopt-app
