Ariel finds her home

Do you remember the dog Ariel from Redby who was abandoned at the Red Lake garbage dump last summer? She was found by Avis and brought to the Red Lake Rosie's Rescue a few days before delivering pups. She started delivering the night before going to Jean Rice, at Carver Scott and then had more puppies on the transport. Check out the original blog post.  Here's the great update and pic.

VERY PREGNANT ARIEL

Hi Karen, here's a photo of Maggie Mae (Ariel) with her new family.

They're a young married couple, and they were soo excited to have Maggie join their family.

Jackie grew up with Springer spaniels and they're both going to take her to obedience classes.

I'm soo happy for Maggie!Jean 

ARIEL AND HER NEW FAMILY

DENISE NOTES:

Check out Ariel's post-puppies slim figure! Way to go!!

Suffering pup, Kaliga

Kaliga was the name given to this little demodex puppy that arrived on Friday September 20th.  His bald face was covered with bleeding sores and he cowered and would scream as I put my hand toward him.  Poor Kaliga was a real mess.  He was malnourished, dehydrated, his ribs were showing and his hip bones protruded.

KALIGA'S FACE COVERED WITH SORES

Thus began the effort to help this little guy who had many misfortunes in his short life. It did not take long for Kaliga to begin to blossom as his true personality began to shine.  Boy- he sure was a great little puppy!  As soon as he was well nourished and began to heal he made many friends at the RLRR shelter, both canine and human as well.  Every day I would sing to him “Poor old Kaliga, never had a kiss…” It was the Hank Willliams song from way back when.

KALIGA COWERING IN FEAR

Everyone who met Kaliga fell in love with this little guy.  Soon it was time for Kalilga to move on.  As the cold rains began, Jean Rice of Carver Scott Humane Society said she would like to take Kaliga in foster care. So, we sadly let go of this boy on Saturday, October 12th.  We only had the pleasure of this little guy’s company for 3 short weeks, but we hear that he is doing really well at Jean’s place.

KALIGA & RLRR FRIEND DAKOTA

FOSTER MOM JEAN WRITES:

Hi Karen, Kaliga is fitting in well. He's laying down by Maggie Mae (mama Ariel from Red Lake) and happily chewing on a bone. Maggie wants to lick the wound on his face, so, we keep having to shoo her away from him. Thanks soo much for sending the sweet boy to me.

KALIGA IN FOSTER CARE WITH ARIEL

FINAL NOTE FROM KAREN:

Best wishes to you little Kaliga!  You make rescue worth every bit of energy!  Thank you Jean for helping so many Red Lake animals!

Puppies in a basket

UPDATE FROM FOSTER HOME:

You can't tell, but all 9 of Ariel's pups are in the basket in this photo. The photo may be included in a future copy of the Scott Co Scene, which is a publication disturbed to every resident of Scott Co.

My 12 y/o granddaughter is keeping the pups in the basket.

Take care,
Jean

Ariel's pups are three weeks old

UPDATE FROM CARVER-SCOTT HS FOSTERING ARIEL & PUPS:

Here are some photos of Maggie's (Ariel) pups. We're bottle feeding the one small puppy, and they're all doing well. They're birthday is June 22, and they'll be 3 weeks old tomorrow.

Ariel: Rescued in the nick of time

On June 19th, Avis, our Redby rescuer called and said she found a young dog ready to give birth at any time abandoned at the Red Lake garbage dump. Avis went back to get her, but she was gone!

Avis spent the next three days searching for her. Ariel had left the garbage dump and went walking down highway 89 in the ditch towards the casino and was seen by several people. Finally, on the third day Avis found her, and Red Lake Rosie's Rescue went to Redby to pick her up and bring her to the vet. The vet expected her to have her puppies in the next day or so.

Although we will never understand how someone could leave this beautiful girl in her condition at the dump- we were so happy to have her!

Pictures of this very sweet girl were sent out to various rescues. Jean Rice of Carver Scott responded and offered a foster home for her. On Friday, June 22nd, Ariel was tucked in her kennel and scheduled to leave in the morning for her transport.

Much to my surprise in the morning, I heard sounds from the kennel and there were seven little newborn babies inside!

Ariel and her babies were loaded in a crate and transported to Cass Lake to meet Jean. When we got there, I was letting Ariel out to take a walk and I noticed there were now NINE pups. Ariel had 2 more on the way!

This was no doubt her first (and LAST!) litter, but she is a wonderful mother.

We want to thank Jean and Carver Scott for taking RLRR dogs and puppies and finding them great homes. Jean also has been a very hardworking volunteer at clinics.
