Better late than never

On Sunday, March 13, Barbie once again came to the aid of Red Lake Rosie's Rescue driving all the way to Bemidji to meet Karen and volunteer Geri with a load of animals enroute to other rescues and shelters.

CARLISLEWe arrived about 1/2 hour early, (or so we thought) and marveled that Barbie had already unloaded all the food and supplies from her van.

GIFTSWe got busy unloading animals and getting them loaded in Barbie's van. She never mentioned anything about us being late.

GERIWell- we had forgotten to turn our clocks to daylight savings time, and we were operating on the "old time" for 3 days before we finally discovered it, so we called Barbie and apologized and she just laughed. What a great lady!

BARBThank you Barbie for always being there for the Red Lake animals when they need a ride.

RODNEYRodney, the rott mix was brought to the shelter by the police from the Halfway House in Redby. He was a stray and the management wanted him removed with his brother Ralph. Well- Rodney hit paydirt and ended up in a foster-to-adopt home with MARS Bully Breed Division. He was a bit stubborn about getting in a crate, and had never ridden in a car before, so that was our only challenge.

CARLISLE MAKING FRIENDSCarlisle was rescued from a house in the projects. The tenants had moved out and left Carlisle and a little tan dog behind. We have not been successful (yet) in catching the small dog. He left for All Dog Rescue.

CHARISSECharisse was rescued by Nancy and Carolyn and went to Tricounty.

JAMBIJambi was surrendered because he developed rickets. He was transferred to Dr. Vickie of Act V.

PEEWEE & PATTIPatti and Pee Wee are two little labbies who were spayed. Pee Wee, the smaller of the two broke out with parvo and was at the vet in Gonvick and made a speedy recovery! They also went to Tricounty.

Thanks to all,
Karen

What a transport! And thank you for the gifts! I'm also glad to hear about Rodney and Ralph. I used to feed them, too. Rodney was "stupid puppy" because he's ... not the brightest tool in the shed, but he's full of love and loves people. He's a people dog. Ralph I called "the old man" - he used to make me laugh with the odd places where he'd fall asleep. I'm relieved to hear that they're on their way to a better life than being homeless, close to Hwy. 1. One of the dogs I was feeding was hit and killed on Hwy. 1 just last week. Thank you for giving these guys a better life!! ^_^
