Help Jenny save animals in far northern Minnesota

Jennifer Wolfe has been a dedicated animal rescue person serving the northern border areas of Roseau and Warroad for 7 years. Jennifer does all this work out of her own pocket as she does not have a 501(c)(3) status. She has rescued many animals from the Roseau Pound as well as the rural community. Additionally, she has fostered animals for Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and was doing rescue on the reservation before RLRR was formed.

JENNY & BENJIRecently Jennifer came to the RLRR clinic as a volunteer and I noticed her poor little crates with Duct tape and ropes for handles. When I asked about her needs she specified that she desperately needs four insulated doghouses for the dogs at the Roseau Pound, as well as some decent cat and dog crates.

BETTER CRATES NEEDED
Here are some pictures of Jenny and her 2 most recent rescues from the Roseau Pound. Had Jenny not rescued Benji and Red they would have been shot on day 5. We are so thankful to Akin Hills for vetting them and to Pet Haven for taking them in their program.

REDRLRR helps Jennifer whenever we can, just as she has helped us. If there are donations in the metro for her, we could arrange for transport at least as far as Red Lake with one of our regular transports of supplies (e-mail: blog@redlakerosie.org).

JENNIFER EXPLAINS:
The Roseau County pound in Roseau, MN, needs insulated dog/cat houses for cold outdoor temperatures.

ROSEAU IMPOUNDThese are pictures of the Roseau County Pound in Roseau, MN. The kennels are housed in the structure that is shown. There are four stalls for dogs and two cages for cats.

KENNELS AT ROSEAU IMPOUNDThe dogs and cats have protection from the wind and rain and snow which is good. However, in the winter the temperature in the kennels is the same as the outdoors and the animals have no structures provided to help maintain their body heat. In addition the kennels are not cleaned daily so moisture builds up on the bedding.

I am looking for four insulated dog houses to place inside each of the four 4x6 ft. kennels and two insulated houses for the cats.

I have been taking unclaimed dogs from the pound and finding homes for them for 7 years. I cannot go another winter thinking about them being in the cold. I am determined to do something for next winter.

I have placed about 70 dogs from the pound. They have all been good dogs with no need to be destroyed. Bullets and a gun are used at this pound.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!
