Rez Animal Resources & Education
Rez Animal Resources & Education is a nonprofit organization serving animals on Indian reservations in southwest Washington state.
A rez dog is a mixed breed dog roaming loose (usually stray) on an Indian reservation. Often they have mange, are not fixed and run in packs.
Life on the rez is not good for most dogs and cats. There is little to no animal control, most animals are not fixed and there are numerous stray animals left to fend for themselves. The result is an exploding pet population with many dogs and cats infected with fleas and other parasites.
This was the impetus to start Rez Animal Resources & Education. To raise the level of basic animal care and reduce the number of stray animals in these tribal communities.

About Us Few words
1,741 of dogs and cats spayed/neutered on Indian reservations in SW Washington since 2005 by Rez Animal Resources & Education. Last updated December 2020.
Dedicated to building tribal communities that are pet friendly, safe for pets and reduce animal suffering. We strive to treat all animals and people with dignity, kindness and respect on five Native American reservations in Washington State. We are an all-volunteer organization working to provide a high-quality model program to 1) prevent pet overpopulation through spay/neuter assistance; and 2) prevent animal suffering by providing financial assistance for medical services, vaccine clinics and education on animal care.
Our spay/neuter voucher program is available to anyone living in
these tribal communities or any enrolled member of one of the tribes. Vouchers can be used at participating clinics near the reservation.
Donations are gladly accepted to help us to keep providing low-cost spay/neuter services. Make donations at rezanimals.com or by check payable to: Rez Animal Resources & Education and mail to P.O. Box 8640, Lacey, WA 98509.
