Jenny's amazing story

I got an email from Lynn of the RLRR Metro Support Team saying, "Karen you better check the webpage as there is a poor little dog that needs your help!!" So I checked the old webpage and I found out that a little yellow shepherd mix pup was indeed in big trouble.She had been hanging around the New Beginnings Building in Redby for the past 4 days starving and freezing. Thankfully I was able to make contact with an employee there who agreed to take her to Polly's holding pen which saved her life!

She came out to the shelter later that day with T. She had starvation, mange and frostbite. The poor little girl held her head down so low and was so frightened that I might hit her! We moved the her into the cat house with a few other puppies and it wasn't long until she was romping and playing with the others.When Crystal came up for the weekend and saw her a few days later, she knew that she was going to take Bernadine, as I had called her, and foster her. Well, Bernadine is Jenny now. She looks wonderful and even went to the Pet Expo as an RLRR Ambassador dog with Crystal.

It is very amazing that one of the metro committee members was able to alert me that a puppy was in need on the reservation!! Isn't that cool? Thank you Lynn and Crystal for saving Miss Jenny Bernadine!!

Sincerely, Karen :)
CRYSTAL ADDS:
Here are some pictures, but they really don't do Jenny justice. She actually smiles and jumps straight up in the air.

The Expo was fun. I cannot believe the response to Jenny. Seriously, people were all over her the entire time! It was crazy. One man was literally trying to stuff money in my pocket. The girl knows how to work a crowd.

WARNING: Your heart may be stolen!

On January 30th. my friend Ruth and I went up to Karen's to help out and to transport back to the metro. It was a good trip and an extremely smooth transport, meeting all our connections right on schedule.Ruth, a veteran Wisconsin animal advocate was so impressed with Karen and her mission that she is looking forward to returning and in the meantime, becoming an active supporter of Rosie's RedLake Rescue.
RUTH & CRYSTAL, RHODA & GINGERThere were over twenty animals scheduled for the transport. The night before we arrived, Karen was made aware of a starving little dog begging for food on a street corner. It was apparent by the sores and scabs on her emaciated body, and her frost bitten paws that she had survived the winter on her own.
JENNYSince there wasn't a plan for this little girl, she came home with me. A trip to the vet resulted in all of her shots, a treatment plan for her mange, and confirmation of her age to be about four months. With medication, baths, vitamins, nutritious food, and a lot of love and attention Jenny has blossomed into a real beauty.

As one of our ambassadors at the Pet Expo at the Convention Center in Minneapolis, Jenny charmed and fascinated visitors. She was literally bombarded with attention and requests to adopt her.
KAREN AND ANOOKIt was a wonderful opportunity to show people that these dogs, like Jenny, abandoned, discarded, and left to die are not only intelligent, loving, and attractive, but they have a spirit of appreciation and joy. These traits are not exclusive in Jenny, but are found over and over again in the animals Karen saves.
TONY BALONIEI think Karen needs a sign at Rosie's Rescue that reads "Warning, your heart may be stolen".
