Marty

One day in mid-October Karen and Geri got a call at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue that 4 puppies were in a refigerator in Ponemah, and so we went off on a road trip to find the puppies and bring them to the shelter. There had apparently been a fire at the residence and the puppies ended up placed in an old refrigerator.

Well when we got there, we found the refrigerator - but could find no puppies. We searched the area, and soon we hear a loud commotion and a few houses down saw a golden fluffy dog laying on his back and 4 large shepherds attacking him.

Geri and I immediately ran over and got the dogs off the fluffy dog and he went running to what we assumed was his porch. So we thought we had done a good deed and saved this dog, we called Marty.

As we backed out the van to leave the area, disappointed that we could find no puppies, we saw the 4 dogs circling around the house and saw Marty shaking in fear on the porch. We inspected Marty to find a large laceration on his abdomen and realized his life was at stake. No one was home, and so we made a decision to rescue Marty from his attackers and left a message on the door of his owner that we had him and would get him medical attention and return him home.

Marty went to the shelter, and on to the Akin/Ark clinic a day later, and had his abdomen stitched, got him neutered, vaccinated, groomed and bathed. The owner asked us to keep Marty for a while until he was healed and then return him. We returned Marty to his home on November 8th, and left food and straw in his doghouse.

Thank you all for supporting RLRR and our recent work at Ponemah.

Sincerely, Karen
