Story of Faith

On Saturday, August 10th, while unloading garbage at the Red Lake dump, we met Faith.  This little shepherd mix was walking around the garbage foraging for food bits and approaching any stranger she saw just hoping someone would take her home.  She was malnourished and dehydrated and loaded with fleas.
The Red Lake Rosie's Rescue van arrived just in time.  Little Faith waddled as she walked and it was clear she had an injury.  She offered no resistance to being loaded in the van and riding off to her new life.  She loves the kibble and canned treats she enjoys at the shelter. 
What a darling personality!  Her body is broken, but she has a million-dollar smile and attitude. She went to the vet on the 6th day and was spayed and vaccinated. Since she was malnourished, it is taking a while to get her bowels straightened out.  She was x-rayed and the vet finds no broken bones in the leg or hip areas.  She suspects a soft tissue or spinal injury of some kind.  Time will tell if she will heal.  She cannot run but she is walking well.
We are looking for the perfect home for Faith as she deserves the best of everything.

Sincerely, Karen Good
