2014 Pet Expo – A HOWLING SUCCESS!

Red Lake Rosie's seventh year at the Pet Expo was very successful despite the icy streets. We raised $1,448 in sales and $772 in donations for a whopping total of $2,220 which is 44% more than last year! Thank you to everyone who helped make caring for more needy animals possible.

JEFF AND TWYLA

It’s always fun promoting Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue and selling RLRR t-shirts and unique handcrafted items made by our volunteers.

KIM, FAITH AND LAUREN

Sweet and beautiful Faith is in foster care and will soon be available for adoption. Several months ago, she was found foraging for food around dumpsters and approached anyone that would hopefully care for her. She was malnourished, dehydrated and loaded with fleas. That’s when Red Lake Rosie’s stepped to help this special needs girl. Read more about her story in previous blog posts 8/21/2013 and 9/18/2013.

DOG HOODIES

This is the first year that people could bring their companion animals. The hand washable wool dog hoodies put smiles on many faces and were a sellout.

JULIE, LAURA, KRISTEN & LAUREN

IN STYLE AND LOOKING GOOD

Sitting pretty on a couch-potato pad and wearing a fur matching white hoodie.

SOFT AND SILKY WINTER

Winter has a loving home and shares it with another adopted Red Lake dog, Adian. Winter is Curt and Joan’s third Red Lake dog.

KITTY KOT AND COUCH-POTATO PAD

Even the dogs like the comfy kots and plush pads.

NOT JUST FOR DOGS

Everyone could use a little more warmth this year!

SHIRLEY AND BOB

It takes many dedicated volunteers to help with rescue, medical care, transport, fostering, adoptions, fundraising, education, and donations so that cats and dogs are ultimately placed in forever loving homes. Thanks to every person for helping Karen Good care for more animals. Any help is so appreciated.

Many people stopped by the booth and shared their stories about their adopted Red Lake cats and dogs. It is so inspiring to hear about people who have opened their hearts to those who were abandoned, neglected and abused. Their once broken spirits and bodies are now filled with love.

Thanks to all our dedicated and talented volunteers who worked the booth, brought their sweet Red Lake ambassador dogs, and donated their high quality handcrafted items.

Red Lake ambassador dogs and family: Curt, Joan and Winter, Kim and Faith

Booth workers: Jeff, Twyla, Jodi, Shirley, Bob, Kristen, Lauren, Laura, Julie, Colleen and Jill.

Handcrafters: Nancy O. and Carolyn (Kitty kots, totes, dog and cat couch-potato pads), Nancy B. (dog hoodies), Kathy (bamboo dish cloths) and Twyla (dish cloths).
