Rosebud and her litter of pups

During the April clinic a resident of Red Lake told us a stray female had moved in and had 6 puppies under their porch. They requested that we come and take them.

So on April 26th we went in search of the little stray family. We found them three houses down from where they had been. We named the little shepherd mix mama Rosebud and found the litter of six pups under a porch. They were hungry and dehydrated and were happy to get a bite of canned food to lure them out from hiding under the porch.

Rosebud also came willingly as we lured her with treats as well.They were tucked in a kennel at the Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and a search began to find them a rescue.

Pet Haven stepped up and took the litter of 6 pups first on April 22nd . On May 4th they took Rosebud in foster care as well. It was at Pet Haven where it was discovered that Rosebud was heartworm positive and was scheduled for treatment.

We want to thank Pet Haven for taking this little family and realize that it also brought them a large medical bill to get them healthy.

So many of our adult dogs have heartworm and the treatment is expensive.

We are so happy for Rosebud and her family.

FOSTER MOM WRITES:
Rosebud is doing good. She is definitely a sweetheart and well behaved (mostly ). 

She had her spay a few weeks ago and they also removed her dew claws and a mammary lump we are very happy was not cancerous. We are waiting to to get the go ahead from the vet to start heartworm treatment. She has some kind of skin condition that makes her very itchy and we are trying very hard to manage it.

Despite all her issues, she is still a very loving and mellow dog whose favorite activity is chasing our cat..
