As you start your Holiday shopping, consider a donation to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue:
We could use pledges for heat for the cathouse/shelter. The heat is electric and runs about $300 per month in winter months. We use about $2,200 year on the electric bill. Our account is at Red Lake Electric Cooperative, 412International Drive, Red Lake Falls, MN 56750.
Our account is Red Lake Rosie's Rescue, Inc., Account # 9518005.03
An automatic dishwasher is needed for cleaning pet food dishes. This would not only be a timesaver, but it would sanitize the dishes better than handwashing. An industrial strength/professional model would be most appropriate.
A shop vacuum is needed for cleaning in the cat house. It is very difficult to clean out the big kennels without one. Cleaner cages will keep the animals healthier.
2 good quality pitch forks for clean straw into kennels and soiled straw out. The two we have have bent tines and make the job harder.
A couple of good mops and a couple of new stiff bristle brooms would be nice.
We need cat litter- we are going through a lot with the high volume of cats.
We need dog & cat kibbleand leashes
Donations toward our routine medical expenses, for example:
feline distemper shot - $18
feline rabies shot - $20
FeLV/FIV test - $30
heartworm test - $20
canine DHPP and Rabies - $40
Ivermectin is a standard mange supply which is $30/ 100 mL when we buy bulk 500mL. (l00 mL will cure at least 60 dogs/pups)
We use lots of SMZ (sulfatrimeth) antibiotics for skin and intestinal infections in dogs at .35 per tablet. We buy bulk 800 tabs
We also purchase Albon for intestinal infection of cats/kittens, dogs/pups who have diahrea - cost per 200 mL = $118
We also need Revolution for cats/kittens and dogs/puppies for fleas and other parasites. It is quite expensive at about $10.00 per dose.
Also, the doses of pyrantel, puppy shots @ $9 each.
Money donations for the vet bill.
Send checks to Red Lake Rosie's Animal Fund Account at
Clearwater Veterinarian Services
Gonvick, MN 56644
What we DON'T need currently is blankets, dog collars, canned foods, towels, laundry soap, dish soap, puppy sweaters, kitty blankets, litter boxes. Thanks to donations we have all of this is abundance at this time.
Thank you so much, Karen

Svetlana's pink palace
Svetlana was actually the first of the Russian Circus Troup kittens to be adopted. I think she was a little relieved to get away from her four crazy brothers. Her new name is Moxie and it describes her well. She now is loved by a girl and her family and is trying to make friends with the family beagle. Her next challenge will be to learn sign language to keep up with the dog and communicate better with her deaf family.
PINK PALACE
NOTE BEFORE ADOPTION:
Hello, thanks for the reply. Our dog, a beagle, is 4 years old. He allowed our previous cat (Foxy) to play with him and both of them got along really well. Sadly, Foxy has passed away, so we are looking for a kitten (indoor). The kitten that I found online is Svetlana with the pink collar. We would love to adopt another Korat cat like Foxy. We adopted Foxy from Chicago where my brother-in-law found her in an empty house. We took her and cared for her for 17 years.
T-
MOXIE'S NEW GIRL
UPDATE AFTER ADOPTION:
She's doing good! She still has not settled in with our dog . She gets angry when the dog appoaches or comes near her. Our dog looks scared when she hisses at him. He is respectful and stays away from her until she gets used to him. We already took some pixs, and we will send them to you soon. Our daugther was so happy to have her! Thanks for letting us adopt Moxie (Svetlana).

The ABE! Fund
The ABE! Fund honors the memory of ABE!, a 10 year-old Clumber Spaniel who died in 2009 of stomach cancer. ABE! was a true officer and a gentleman of the Clumber community. Nothing delighted ABE! more than lowering his massive soft head to prowl beneath bushes or bramble. Although he did not truly hunt as Clumbers were bred to do, ABE! was a great pretender.
At home, he was seldom without a squeaking stuffed “baby” in his mouth, moaning with delight when presented with a new one. His intense snoring was legendary. His posterior wiggled to almost a “U” when greeting at the door or in the park.
From the tender age of two, ABE! became a champion fund-raiser. During the Christmas holidays, guests poured into his home with needed supplies and $$$ for a different designated shelter each year. Learning of Red Lake Rosie's toward the end of his life, ABE! and his friends raised $1000 to send to Rosie's in Minnesota. This good work will now continue.
Started by friends of ABE!’s, the ABE! perpetual fund will support seasonal needs such as straw for winter bedding, special projects, and the year round need for medical supplies, especially vaccines and antibiotics.
The ABE! fund has raised about $1400 in cash and several hundred $$ in donations - hand-sewn fleece blankets, dog toys, laundry detergent, dish detergent, paper towels, crates, etc.
Photos show the ABE! Fund donations being loaded into the van after the benefit in Lake Forest, IL, and the donations arriving at RLRR.
ABE! and all his many friends are honored to be Rosie's first dedicated fund to aid in the health and well-being of the dogs at Red Lake Rosie's.

Katya: Russian princess
The Russian Circus Troop kittens have begun to find their homes. Katya discovered that she is really a princess!
NOTE FROM ADOPTER TO FOSTER COORDINATOR:
Hi T~
I just wanted to thank you for all of your assistance in my search for a kitten! This experience has been wonderful!
Even though I was sad to hear that Svetlana had already been adopted, we did adopt her sister, Katya, on Saturday! Katya is precious and seems to be loving her new home. She's getting brave and venturing out more and more throughout the house. She is just a doll and my daughter absolutely LOVES her!! She (my daughter) cried when we brought Katya home and now thinks it's all a dream. LOL! She's even kept Katya's name.
Foster moms were wonderful as well! They gave us some great information and tips on making Katya's transition less stressful! They definitely deserve some kudos!!
Please know that if I hear of anyone looking to adopt an animal, I will definitely refer them to Red Lake Rosie! You have an awesome bunch of dedicated people working there and I'm proud to have been given the chance to make a difference in Katya's life!
Thank you again and have a great day!
SK
AND A NOTE TO FOSTER MOMS:
Yes, Katya is adjusting very well! She’s no longer that shy reserved kitten anymore. She doesn’t walk anywhere, she RUNS!! For as little as she is she sounds like a herd of elephants running up/down the stairs. When she’s tired, you pet her and she almost instantly goes to sleep. It’s like mesmerizing to her! LOL!
She is now freely roaming the whole entire house (as of Wednesday night). In fact we hadn’t even introduced her to the basement yet but found her sleeping on the heated floor in the basement bathroom on Wednesday night! She’s certainly not stupid! LOL!
She also LOVES LOVES LOVES her new mommy! As you can see from the pics, she is very comfortable with my daughter. When K goes outside to play, Katya runs around the house looking for her and follows her almost everywhere! She has also taken up with a White Tiger stuffed animal (it’s actually bigger than her!) She pounces on it, bites it and plays with it every day. It’s the funniest thing to watch!
She is a very good little girl and I’m pretty sure she loves her new home as well! She definitely keeps us laughing! I’ll keep you updated with more pics soon.
Hope all is well with you. Have a great weekend!

Mega-transport November 15
We had a giant transport on Sunday November 15 with a total of 3 dogs, 30 puppies and l kitten.
These animals were primarily surrenders at the November clinic so we were overrun and very happy that they all got foster care except for 3 puppies who went to Northwoods Humane Society and Ollie, juvenile vetted shephard who went to Tricounty Humane Society.
SHANIA
Lots of rescues stepped forward and took the puppies, so we are very pleased and grateful.
ABE! DONATIONS.JPG)
Dee Dee and Kristen came in Saturday with a load of gifts from the ABE! Fund out of Chicago in memory of a dog named Abe.
Also- much to our surprise we got the 2009 Chevrolet van delivered to the shelter with our beautiful logo painted on it!!
I found out that there were people in the metro who donated to get the logo put on and I want to thank you very much for this. It is BEAUTIFUL.
FLUFFY
We spent the day with Dee Dee, Kristin, Alex and Pat putting tarps on kennels and Dee Dee and Kristin worked through late night cleaning in the cathouse.
ZORRO
Thank you to all the volunteers, donors, and receiving rescues/shelters in behalf of Red Lake animals.
Sincerely, Karen Good and RLRR
THIRTY PUPS IN ALL!
