Akin Hills Pet Hospital helps out at RLRR

Dr. Veronica Bartsch and vet tech Lindsay Cline of Akin Hills Pet Hospital in Farmington, MN made a visit to Red Lake Rosie's shelter September 11 - 13 and were very helpful to us. They were initially going to bring a load of food from Liz Champeau and they decided to make it a more extensive project.

The dedicated team neutered 16 cats and dogs at the shelter as well as provided exams, worming, shots, and medications to all the shelter animals and the 8 resident dogs at the uphouse.
They also provided emergency care and vaccinations for community animals that showed up at the shelter during their visit.

When they departed, they took out 4 cats and 14 dogs/pups to the Last Hope Rescue of which many have already been adopted. Among the group were Breanna, a brindle pit bull mix who has been here a year working on demodex mange who now lives with Dr. Bartsch and also Spencer who had a severe case of demodex and has been adopted.

We are so happy to have developed this new relationship with this dedicated team who now wants to organize a larger group of participants to sponsor another Red Lake community clinic. They are meeting Tuesday in Roseville to work on that possibility.

We wish to thank them both for their wonderful work for the Red Lake animals!

Sincerely, Karen
