Bambi/Bambino/Beanie

Beanie, a little brindle pit bull mix almost did not make it to her destination with Pet Haven.

BEANIE AT PET HAVEN
Bambi, later named, Bambino, and then Beanie was rescued by Mike and Lauren in Ponemah during the June clinic. It was no easy task and they persisted making many trips to Ponemah with the catch pole and finally got her. She was an unwanted stray that moved in a yard up the hill.

Well, Beanie was spayed and came to the shelter where she spent the next few weeks enjoying her life and getting well at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. She began to develop trust and responded to her new name Beanie.

As time went on the larger resident dogs at the sheter began to be abusive to her. Concerned about her drooling and being abused, she was thankfully going to Pet Haven foster care!

She saw Dr. Pierce at the August clinic and she had 6 teeth pulled that were infected possibly causing the drooling and lower jaw to hang open.

During the course of the clinic on one of her walks she slipped the leash and reverted back to her semi feral behavior.

Many of the volunteers including Mike and Lauren kept trying to find Beanie and finally on the last day of the clinic, she responded to "Beanie calls", and was able to get on with her life's journey to Pet Haven.

Once in the metro, it was further discovered she had heartworm, so is being treated by Dr. Pierce and fostered by Dr. Pierce's mother who had adopted a RLRR dog mamed Spike.

We are so thankful for the rescue by Mike and Lauren and the treatment by Dr. Pierce, his mother, and to Pet Haven for helping Beanie.

It is a happy ending to a very difficult rescue marred by escapes and medical problems. Thank you all for your patience and help for Beanie! Persistance pays off.

Sincerely, Karen RLRR

That is a great story and
doing the Beanie search in hot
weather- was not fun!
But I saw more of the Red Lake
shore than I would have on any normal Red Lake visit- so thank you Beanie!! and good luck in your new life as a city girl!~
