Today Rockstar Rescue is a decompression & recovery facility specializing in dogs with injuries or illnesses on euthanasia lists at County shelters. She has also earned certificates in the fields of Animal Communication and Animal Massage Therapy. Jamie went back to college at 41 year’s of age and earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a second Bachelor’s in Animal Physiology & Behavior, then went further, earning a master’s degree in Nonprofit Management to fine-tune her skills and area of interest into a more focused cause. With Rockstar Rescue’s niche established, and Jamie’s mission to “just rescue dogs” in place, she quickly saw there was a deeper need and more that she wanted to do within the field.

Calling on artists such as Ozzy Osborne, Steven Adler (Guns N Roses), Getty Lee (Rush), David Ellefson (Megadeth), Fee Waybil (The Tubes), Joan Jett and many more, to help promote “Rockstar” dogs by way of promotional photos, and thereby helping them find homes. Once Rockstar Rescue was founded, these friendships served to her benefit in establishing a niche in the world of dog rescue. Through her musical connections, she established relationships with individuals who would go on to become famous rock stars and musicians. Jamie grew up in a musical household and as a drummer played in many local bands in and around Phoenix her whole life. Zero found a home quickly and from there, Jamie had found her new calling.īut long before her love of dogs became a full-time career, her first love was music. Over the next week she dressed his wounds and cared for him until he was healthy, then placed flyers around to rehome him. Asking nearby neighbors whom the dog belonged to, she was told he was a stray, so she scooped him up, took him home and named him Zero. While driving around, looking for home rentals, Jamie stumbled upon a young, extremely skinny Pitbull, standing on the sidewalk next to a heavily trafficked road, with an obvious injury to his leg.

Rockstar Rescue was founded in 2010 by Jamie Benfield.
