ACT V revisits RLRR

ALISA, CAROLYN, KAREN
On September 29th, Red Lake Rosie's Rescue had the privilege of having ACT V revisit the shelter and Red Lake Reservation.
CAROLYN, KAREN, DR VICKI
Dr. Vickie accompanied by two other founding members, Alisa and Carolyn were our guests. This hardworking group brought canned and dry food and other supplies to the shelter.



Dr. Vickie did examination and treatment of all the shelter animals including the ones who needed most help like Dakota, a golden mix with a leg injury and porcupine quills embedded in that leg.

DAKOTA
She also updated all the vaccinations and made recommendations for medications for those who were healing from mange and other ailments.
FAITH & WOLFIE
OREO
On the 29th, we took a trip to Little Rock, Red Lake and Redby to make home visits to provide treatment and food to animals.
GIRL & OSCAR
We visited Girl the horse and delivered a new mineral block and some special horsefeed which she loved. There we saw Oscar, a dachshund with a sore back. Marvin was very happy for the help and treats we gave his animals.

We went on to Redby to visit Terry and her family. There we saw several cats and dogs that needed vaccinations and delivered food.
Farther up the road we visited Allan and his 3 dogs. Through the years RLRR has worked with Allan and gotten his 3 dogs neutered and spayed; gotten all mange healed; and worked on watering and feeding to make sure the dogs continue to be healthy. Allan and his dogs are very appreciative and enjoy our visits. The dogs were all boosted on their vaccinations.
In the village, we made a visit to Trudy and her family and talked about winter shelters for her dogs. Her son made the request and we will follow up on providing straw for his dogs this winter. The dogs are both neutered through the MN SNAP Program
We went on to visit Mr. Red and the mama of the litter of 4. I had trouble getting the mama in a crate in order to take her to the vet to get spayed. Well to Dr. Vickie it was no challenge. The mama dog was loaded in a crate and was taken to the Gonvick vet the following day and was spayed. We are happy that this dog will have no more unwanted litters! The owner Lulu was very happy with us.
Dr. Vickie, Carolyn and Alisa made many friends in the community and at the shelter. We were sad to see them go when they left on Monday the 30th but were very happy and thankful for all the help they gave to the Red Lake community and animals.
Sincerely, Karen and RLRR
KAREN AND THE PACK

Dr Vicki and her associates have always been wonderfully supportive of RLRR over time. Where do you even begin to thank them for their generosity and time!!!! I hope they know how grateful we are in Northern Minnesota for their time and talents. A huge thank you to each one of you!!
