Joanna

I have placed the photo at the bottom of the post today, because it is quite awful, but please know that things are already improving for little Joanna.

Dear Friends:

We had a little shep pup, about 14 - 16 weeks old arrive at Red Lake Rosie's in the night with the Red Lake Conservation Officer/Animal Control. He said that if I didn't take her, he would have to shoot her.

She had her eye popped out on Friday he said, and didn't say how but the people no longer wanted her, so they called him late last night to pick up and destroy.

She is a darling, and how could I say no.

Anyway, most of you have given so much already and I am not asking that you should give, only that maybe you know someone who would like to contribute to the Clearwater Veterinarian Service, Gonvick, Minnesota 56644 218-487-5227 in her behalf.

She was taken there this morning by Kevin, and our goal is to raise $300 for her surgery to remove the eye.

As you all know we are receiving a steady flow of "broken" animals and although most of our funds are for neuter/spay, we just have not said "no" yet.

We are thankful for the grant of $2000 we got from Friends of Flicka for heartworm treatment and medical, but as you well know after several emergencies and hearworm treatments, these funds are used up quickly.

I think Joanna may have a foster home with the Aitken Pet Hospital group visiting us Wednesday, Dr. Bartsch and vet tech Lindsay, and I am waiting to hear that they will take Joanna when they leave on the weekend.

Peace and thank you. Karen Good
