Mindy has recovered and is ready for a home!

I met Mindy at the RAVS clinic at Red Lake in July. She was a pup nearly grown with her mother and her mother's three tiny new pups. All were in absolutely terrible condition. Mindy and her mom in particular had severe mange and were itching themselves raw. They were starved. I must admit I could hardly look at them or imagine how hard their lives had been, but I got a happy update from Karen today:

Mindy has been at the Red Lake Rosie's shelter since the animal clinic. She came in too ill and malnourished to be spayed and has recuperated here at the shelter. She is a wonderful dog, and has gotten back all of her hair, no longer itches, and enjoys life very much. She loves her kennel and feels very secure having a bowl of food and water which she carefully watches over. She likes to socialize with other dogs and people, too.

In 8 short weeks, she is now spayed and has had her shots and is ready to look for her forever home. Since she is a black dog and has had such a sad history, we want to make sure she goes to a foster home and gets all the tender loving care she needs. Mindy is only about 40 pounds and will always be smaller.
Isn't it amazing what food, water, antiparasitics, and a little love will do for an animal?! She looked like one of the most hopeless cases when she came, and now she is a real beauty!

Thank you all for supporting Mindy.
