How Maime became Rounder :-)

It was June 10th when the Red Lake Rosie's Rescue van responded to a call to pick up a mangy mama dog in the Red Lake area. On arrival, it was apparent with her large bags that there were puppies also. After searching, we found three pups strewn around here and there, which seemed unusual. We gathered them up, loaded the mama dog with sparse hair on her flanks, rump and tail and we were off the the RLRR shelter.

EFFECTS OF MANGE

Maime was the first name given as the owners had called her “Mama” and the new name seemed to fit. She had one blue eye and one brown eye and I imagined how pretty and unique Maime would be when her coat of hair returned.

As the week moved on it was clear that Maime had no intention of taking care of the puppies. The owner said she had many litters in her short 2 years. She was tired of puppies. Her puppies were about 3-4 weeks old and left June 16th to the care of Matt and Susie of ARVSS. Maime began a period of healing responding well to ivermectin, water, good quality grain free food, and lots of attention.

Maime decided that she was NOT a shelter dog and soon was following the van to and from the shelter. She took her position laying on the front porch assuming the job of watchdog. Soon her name evolved to Rounder because Kevin said she was always around!

Rounder was spayed and vaccinated and at the vet we discovered she was heartworm positive. Pet Haven once again stepped up to offer to enroll her in their program and get her heartworm treatment. Rounder left in the care of Meagan on August 21st on the last day of the clinic.

KAREN AND ROUNDER

It was hard to part with this great girl. Rounder was only a part of our lives for 10 short weeks but took a piece of my heart with her when she left. She is a clearly a very special dog and is sadly missed here. We are so happy though that she is getting the necessary medical treatment and will no doubt find a great forever home! 

MAIME/ROUNDER IN FOSTER CARE

Thank you Pet Haven, Laura, and Megan for giving Rounder a chance. A special thanks to Matt and Susie at ARVSS for relieving Rounder of her mothering duties.
