UnderDog Rescue: Their Mission and Values

Native American Support: Supporting Native Americans in animal care, reducing stray populations, and establishing sustainable pet health care systems.
Overpopulation Focus: Impacting the 500,000 stray companion animal population through transport, vet care, and adoption, combating overpopulation and needless suffering.
Founder’s Expertise: Katy Gullette, with 30+ years in animal welfare, founded Underdog Rescue in 2017 after seeing the need firsthand.
Community Impact: Providing thousands of pounds of pet food, supplies, and free clinics for spay/neuter and vaccinations, benefiting communities and reducing unsupported litters.
Aventure and Vow: Our UnderDog Story
Hey there, we’re Traci and Bill, and this is our buddy Tucker! Together, we form an award-winning husband and wife photography duo with a shared passion for capturing life’s most precious moments.
Our story with Tucker began when Traci took a friend’s dog to an Underdog foster home for the weekend. There, among a playful bunch of puppies, stood Tucker, shy yet curious. His playful antics stole our hearts when he cheekily snatched the jeep keys from Traci’s hand and dashed off, sealing our fate as his forever family.
In naming him, we wanted something that reflected his adventurous spirit and the place we found him. Using our mountain landscape app, we traced the horizon and found his name in the La Sal range: Little Tuk, a name that suited him perfectly, despite his eventual size!
Since then, Tucker has been our faithful companion, accompanying us on countless adventures across the western US. From the sandy beaches of the Pacific to the rugged peaks of Alaska, he’s been by our side as a constant source of joy and laughter.
He’s more than just a pet; he’s a cherished member of our family. To express our gratitude for the happiness he brings us, we’ve teamed up with Underdog to give back and make a difference in the lives of other dogs in need.
Pet Photography Mini Sessions!
As traveling photographers, we take pictures with our pets everywhere we go. We can attest first hand how precious it is to be able to look back on a moment in time to be reminded of the joy we felt in that instance. Our pets have evolved into true companions and they deserve to be celebrated and remembered for all of the deeply meaningful happiness that they bring.
By taking this opportunity to freeze a moment in time with your furry friend, your also fully supporting an organization centered on providing another dog that same opportunity to be loved just as deeply as we love Tucker and you love your pooch.
