Cliff Dwellers and their Mama- a story of heroism and rescue

SIX PUPS FOR TRANSPORT

An emergency message came from a nurse who works at the Red Lake Hospital asking Red Lake Rosie's Rescue for urgent help as a stray mama shepherd mix had a large litter of pups and some had fallen over the cliff behind the hospital! The lake shore near the village is very steep with drops as much as 25 - 30 feet to give you an idea of how dangerous such a fall off can be!

MISSY MAMA

There are many people to thank for the successful rescue of Missy Mama and her pups:

First Ashley rescued two and took them to her home to care for them.

The next day Dan, who rescues lots of animals in cooperation with Polly, heroically climbed around the cliff, found three more pups and delivered them AND the mama to the shelter.

The day after that Ashley’s coworker found one more.

So, one by one, we ended up retrieving Missy Mama and her ELEVEN pups. Five pups were taken in by local residents and the remaining six were transported to Animal Allies courtesy of Nancy O’Sullivan on Saturday. Mama awaits her appointment at the vet to be spayed and vaccinated.

We want to thank all the people involved in this great rescue. Also thanks to Paula and Jocelyn for feeding Mama Missy over a period of a year.

This is a fine example of how when we all work together, we can accomplish great things for the animals!
