Meeko and her pups

I got a call on Wednesday last week that a mama dog, (I call her Meeko, as she is very meek and sweet), was wandering around Cass Lake on the Leech Lake Reservation homeless.

MEEKOWe agreed to take Meeko and her pups at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue, and Tom and Nancy O' Sullivan answered the call and went there Saturday, May 14th. It took some effort, but they found them, and brought them to the RLRR shelter.

The four pups are at least 8 weeks old. We wormed them with pyrantel, gave lst parvo shot, and frontline for fleas and ticks on arrival May 14th. This is a darling little family and we are trying to place the litter of 4 pups soon.

MEEKO'S PUPSIt is great to know that a group of metro volunteers headed by Jenny are working to get help for the companion animals of the Leech Lake Reservation which is about 80 miles from the RLRR shelter. Jenny reported that the group took out 9 dogs on May 7th and placed in foster care. Also, that there is a neuter/spay clinic planned in July hosted by the University of Minnesota and the vet students.

MEEKO'S PUPSThere is a great need for help for the animals in Leech Lake and it is great that a group will be working to improve the state of companion animals there.

MEEKO'S PUPSNOTE FROM NANCY O:
I really like the name Meeko for this little lady....it is very fitting. She seems like a gentle soul and we had no trouble with her rescue. She will look so wonderful once her meds kick in and she gets that nutritious diet in her body.
She is a beauty. I think she never had a tender touch before although the neighborhood kids in Cass Lake were head over heels in love with the pups. She will be a good companion once she comes out of her shell.
