RLRR: More than just cats & dogs!

VINNY

Most people think of dogs and cats when they think of Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue. Actually, we rescue more than that.

PETER AND PETRA

MINIATURE HORSES

We have taken in wildlife and have a great relationship with Wild and Free of Garrison, Minnesota (http://www.garrisonanimalhospital.com/wild-and-free.pml).

CORNELIUS THE GOSLING

The wildlife we have taken in are orphaned or injured animals which have included white-tailed fawn orphans, merganser, Canadian goslings, a raven, orphan killdeer chicks, Indian Runner ducks, wounded seagull, and even a baby robin once that fell out of the nest that was rescued by Carol’s son Joe.

DUCKS

Most recently a Raven named Edgar arrived with a broken wing. This majestic bird was transported to Wild and Free.

EDGAR ALLEN RAVEN

Also this summer, Myrtle, the merganser, arrived with a broken leg.

MYRTLE THE MERGANSER

Our philosophy on wildlife agrees with that of Wild and Free. They provide necessary medical care, rehabilitation, and introduce them back into their natural habitat.

AVIS AND LITTLE GOOSEY GUS

We are very proud at Red Lake Reservation to have preserved so much of our wetlands and habitat for wildlife. We get an A + grade for that accomplishment.

Bella & Maya: Both RLRR dogs!

Two years ago, Bella (formerly Goldie, on the right) was rescued by Red Lake Rosie's and then moved on to All Dog Rescue, where she was adopted to her forever home. She quickly became friends with the two cats in the household.

About a year later, the family decided it was time for another dog and adopted Maya. Goldie and Maya quickly became the best of friends. Maya also came from RLRR via All Dog Rescue!

The family really loves these two and is grateful to the organizations that brought them into their lives.

Elsa: Starving mama dog

The first time I set eyes on Elsa, I felt so sorry for her.

She was starving, had quills in her front shoulder, and was trying to care for her puppies. Then we got the sad story that, in order to survive, Elsa had eaten two of her puppies that had died. Her remaining three puppies were alive and well and soon old enough to go to care with our friends at ARVSS in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

For Elsa, it was going to take a long while until she was well. Not only was she a physical mess, but she was also fearful and mistrusted people’s good intentions. Elsa went to the vet the day after she arrived and had what quills could be removed taken out. The quills had been there for a while and some were embedded in her shoulder, so Elsa would hop on three legs. She was spayed and vaccinated and began her journey of healing.

After three months with Red Lake Rosie's Rescue, Elsa is now walking on all four legs and is in very good physical condition. Elsa is also more trusting of people she encounters. We hope Elsa will soon be taken in by one of our partner rescues and find her forever home.

Elsa loves playing with the other dogs at the shelter and, while she seems to assume the "alpha female" position, she gets along really well with all the other dogs.

Recently with the closing of the Shed and the end of the 20 for 20 program, it is more difficult to get good quality kibble for cats and dogs at Red Lake. We are so thankful to our supporters who have provided food for the shelter and also for the community animals such as Elsa who are suffering malnourishment. 

Here is Elsa celebrating a beautiful fall day here at RLRR with all her friends!

Cody: Caustic liquid burned puppy's feet & tail :-(

Cody was brought to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue in mid-August. The poor puppy had been sitting in some kind of caustic liquid which took the hair off his hind feet and tip of his tail. His feet are infected and very painful. He also has slight rickets on the front legs from poor nutrition, so he walks with a wobble.

 

INJURED HIND FEET (ABOVE) AND TAIL (BELOW)

Cody immediately got a bath to rid him of the caustic liquid and he was given pain medication. He is just 5 1/2 lbs. :-( We are so grateful that ACT V Rescue & Rehabilitation is able to take him in for further care!
