Victoria's victory

Our good friend Paul from Ponemah called on September 22nd that he had two small breed dogs that had no home. Their owners had moved out and left the two behind, a story we hear too often. Paul said one of the dogs was going to have puppies.

VICTORIA AND HER TWO PUPS

It was quite late after dark when Paul arrived with Verna and Victoria. The two were tucked in a kennel together since we assumed they were sisters.

VICTORIA ON ARRIVAL AT RLRR

What a surprise the next morning to find that Victoria had 2 living puppies and 3 stillborn ones! We felt so badly for Victoria as she was clearly distressed about the puppies lost, although happy for the surviving two.

VICTORIA'S TWO PUPS

P.U.P. responded to the needs of Victoria and her puppies to be placed in foster care. The little family left on September 27th into their care. Verna was also lucky to a placement the same Saturday at AHS.

VERNA

These two girls were so lucky to arrive at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue when they did. One more night being homeless may have meant that Victoria would have had no surviving puppies.

AND the story does not end there. We soon got this update from P.U.P. after Victoria’s arrival there:

"Well, your little Victoria got pressed into action on our behalf.

We had a pregnant, small and under-nourished dog . She delivered 10 puppies on Sunday night and clearly was unable to cope.

We offered 3 of them to Victoria and she is the happiest dog in Saint Paul!"

So, although Victoria lost 3 of her puppies, they were restored to this very happy girl!

VICTORIA'S BLENDED FAMILY OF FIVE

Thank you to P.U.P. rescue and other rescues, transporters, and all those who support the work of RLRR to help so many animals like Victoria and Verna.

Sincerely, Karen RLRR
