The founder of Dexter's Rescue Remedy was in a bad rollover accident on I-5 after hitting black ice and the rescue's transport vehicle was totaled. So, we are in desparate need of a van or similar vehicle to transport dogs from high-kill shelters and to adoption events. Please contact us by phone at 530-643-3728 or by email at houndsnwolfers@sisqtel.net if you or anyone you know would like to donate a vehicle or sell one for a low price. Please help us help the dogs. Dexter's Rescue Remedy is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is volunteer operated and relies solely on tax deductible donations to meet the dogs' and wolfdogs' needs. We always appreciate and need donations of dog crates, beds, dog food, meat, towels, blankets, collars, leashes, toys, etc., as well as monetary.
Dexter's Rescue Remedy is a non-profit dog and wolfdog rescue located in Northern California. Our rescue is named after the first hound rescued by our group. He was a large male Basset Hound named "Dexter" that was saved from a lonely existence in a backyard in Los Banos, CA. He was full of fleas and ticks, lethargic, anemic, filthy and emaciated. His toenails were so long that his dewclaws had grown into his dewclaw pads by 1/2" and were infected. He also had a lump at the base of his tail the size of a golf ball that his owner said she had never noticed. It took a few months, but we got Dexter all fixed up and finally found the perfect home for him. Dexter was treated like a king by his new family, taking nightly walks in the neighborhood and walks on the beach every weekend. He had such a special way about him that people were drawn to him and would stop to pet and talk about this exceptional boy. He loved attention and would groan while looking up adoringly at the person doling out the attention. Dexter's life was cut short by cancer at 9 years old. But, his two years with his new family were wonderful and probably the best he's ever known. Everyone will miss Dexter very much, but his legacy lives on in our rescue efforts every day. We rescue and rehome scent hounds such as Basset Hounds, Beagles, Bloodhounds, Plott Hounds, Black and Tan Coonhounds, Bluetick Coonhounds, etc., as well as Wolfdogs and some molosser breeds such as Mastiffs, Great Danes, St. Bernards. Our rescue dogs usually come from high kill shelters and, occassionally, owner surrenders as space permits. All of our rescued dogs and wolfdogs enjoy spacious living areas with other dogs and are not confined to dog runs.
Please contact our rescue by phone or email to inquire about a dog and get an application. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Home checks are required to assure that your new friend will not end up in harms way and will be with you for a very long time. We always have new dogs coming into our rescue. So, if you don't see the type of dog you are looking for, please check for availability either by phone or email.
