Meet Wanda!

It was the day before Christmas when we got a call about Wanda. A person driving to Moab for Christmas passed through Mexican Water and saw this girl trotting down the highway. They safely pulled over and noticed her eye was very swollen and pussing. They knew they couldn’t leave her, but didn’t have a rescue plan. Regardless, they loaded her into the back of their car, continued driving and started Googling rescues on their route. They soon connected with Underdog Rescue and after the 2 hour drive was at our ranch.

This little one was quickly placed into foster to help her eye heal and get the special attention she deserved. After a few weeks in foster, she came back to our ranch and is now waiting for her forever home!

Little Wanda is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped! She loves toys, other dogs, and is doing well on the leash. We think she is a lab mutt and will probably end up being 45-50 pounds. Visit our website to see more photos of Wanda and submit an adoption application for her. Please note that our Rescue Ranch is available to visit, volunteer or adopt by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, call 435 260 8033.

Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the estimated 250,000 stray companion animals on Native American reservations of the Southwest through transport, vet care and adoption services.
