Ginny is a natural therapy dog

Ginny was adopted by Claudia and her family who have been great volunteers for Red Lake Rosie's Rescue ever since. She's a beautiful dog and I've been asking for an update:

Here are some pictures of us at the health care facility. The organization I volunteer through is Pets on Wheels (MNPetsonWheels.com). I usually go to the health care facility once a week for 1 1/2 hours and visit patients in their rooms and in the common areas, where they are often gathered for an activity.

We generally visit about 30 patients each time, so both Ginny and I need a little nap when we get home.

Ginny is not a trained therapy dog, she's just a gentle sweet girl, who loves being petted and being the center of attention. She also loves the extra treats she gets when we're on our visits!

Everyone is so curious about her breed. I say she's an australian shepherd mix, which seems easy enough. Then they ask what her name is. For some reason they have difficulty with "Ginny", but Ginny was how she came to us and Ginny is how she'll remain.

  1. Claudia and Ellen have been such a blessing to RLRR. It all started with Ginny--this fantastic dog that was dragged to the RAVS clinic on the last day- and the owner said if we did not take her - he would shoot her--

    Well not look at her!!

    Claudia has provided prepared delicious dishes for all the clinics the past 3 years, tarps to help keep the animals warm, and frontline-

    Ellen cooked all the meals for one of the RAVS clinics.

    Thank you so much for all you have done.
