April 11 Transport

Mike and Lauren have been at the RLRR shelter volunteering once again. They arrived on Friday and left Sunday morning with two cats and five dogs to be placed at Act V, All Dog, Feline Rescue, and RLRR foster homes.

As usual they did lots of work in the shelter yard and socializing animals. A feral juvenile dog named Sadie was loose in the yard and we could not catch her. Lauren was able to gain her trust and put her in a kennel with her sister.

PANDORA AND LAURENDuring their visit, a puppy arrived at the shelter -- we called her Pandora or Pandy for short. This little girl was so hungry and dehydrated. She also could not walk. We could get her to stand for a little while, then she would slip and fall.

PANDORAThe good news is that Pandy joined the transport and is headed to Act V and Dr. Vickie. We are so thankful that Pandy arrived and got out just in time.

ANDYAndy, a small wire-haired terrier, is also going to Act V. He has been ill for about 5 days. We kept him alive with sub-cu feedings, antibiotics, and NutriCal and are thankful he will be getting great care by Dr. Vickie, too.

TOM TOMTom Tom was a stray barn cat that lived on a rural farm. He has an eye that is sore and a front leg that has a wound. We got him neutered and immunized on Friday- and when he came back to the shelter he was so friendly and loveable, we talked the farmers in to letting him leave the barn life and find a forever home. Feline Rescue is taking him and we just know, with his personality, he will really make a great companion.

CHI CHIPretty Chi Chi was a surrender at the last clinic and is also enroute to Feline Rescue.

MARIGOLDMarigold is a little stray shepherd headed to All Dog. Marigold is spayed and vaccinated but needs lots of tlc.

WINSTONPoor tiny Winston came in with severe mange. He started treatment at RLRR and is going to a RLRR foster home.

EDDYEddy, the little brown chihuahua is also going to a RLRR foster home.

Karen :-)

I love BEFORE and AFTER pics. Don't you?!

UPDATE: Sweet Andy (now called Riley) is still looking for a home. People are put off by his underbite, apparently, I think it gives him a cheesy grin ;-) Don't overlook this darling dog; he is in RLRR foster care.

ANDY BEFOREANDY goes to RLRR foster home. He is such a great guy. He loves sitting in cars!!

ANDY AFTERAndy is ready to go home

Thanks Jodi!

Thanks to all who made weekend transport possible

We are so thankful today that we were able to place 30 dogs and puppies through a transport with Barbara and Jodi and her friend Chuck and Dee Dee.

In addition to the 18 tiny pups that went to Tricounty Humane Society for foster care, there were 12 others. I understand that there is going to be a reporter doing a newspaper story on the puppies that arrived at Tricounty in St. Cloud. I will be giving you more details on that as I get the information.

Here is who left:

HANNIBAL going to RLRR foster home

IDGIE going to Tricounty Humane Society

MARTY, DOUG AND BIF going to RLRR Foster home

MARGO is going to Dee Dee for foster care

HARLEY is going to Pet Haven foster home

SASHA just had heartworm treatment and is going to Patti Simonette, Second Hand Dogs in Claremont

JOY, little female shep spayed goes to TLC foster. Joy is absolute doll.

ANDY goes to RLRR foster home. He is such a great guy. He loves sitting in cars!!

CASEY is off to Act V. She is a great small to medium size husky mix with one blue eye and one brown eye. She has been spayed and has received mange treatment.

Last, but not least, is TWIZZLER, a smaller breed dog who came here Thursday as a result of a dog attack. He was already neutered at our May clinic and the owner decided to surrender Twizzler so he could get vet care. He went to the vet and had a leg wound treated and got an e-collar which earned him the name of "cone-head" by Jodi and Barbara. He moved into the cat house with Andy while here--a wonderful guy who will be missed. BTW, Twizzler loves black twizzlers and that's how he got the name. He is enroute to All Dog Rescue.

We want to give a great big hug and thank you to rescues and transporters who make this all possible. We think this group of dogs was one of the BEST. We could open all the kennel doors and they would all get along!! Even with Grandpa dog.

Sincerely, Karen and RLRR
