Benay arrives

Benay is a friend of Red Lake Rosie's Rescue who has generously given of her time to come stay at the rescue fulltime and help with the animals while Karen recovers from surgery on her foot.

Benay arrived at the shelter on October 6 and has been working very hard. She is pictured knee-deep in puppies.

She has the "cathouse" in immaculate condition and has all the dogs/puppies socializing and going with her on her marathon walks twice a day. The animals absolutely love her.

Benay went to Redby and looked for a dog who was paralyzed and laying under an outdoor stairway in the mud. She rescued him and took him to the Clearwater Vet and tried her best to save him, but after several days, it was apparent to the vet that the dog would never walk again. He crossed the rainbow bridge, but thanks to Benay, he did not have to continue to suffer wet, cold, and in pain anymore.



This woman is outstanding in her commitment to the animals, constantly bathing mangey pups and keeping up on everything. She is falling in love with Sylvester, the cat on special diet for urinary problems. He sleeps on her pillow and follows her around like she is one of the gods. She shared with me yesterday, that when she leaves, Sylvester will go with her to his forever home.
