Earl & Blonde

Many Red Lake community members take the care of their dogs and cats seriously, as is the case with Earl.

Red Lake Rosie's Rescue got a call a week ago from Earl, a Red Lake elder who has a dog which he loves very much named Blonde. Blonde lies the good life indoors with Earl at the outlet, a remote area on the north side of the Red Lake Reservation, the source of the Red Lake River.

Earl is ill and has to go through surgery and was concerned about Blonde, and how would she be cared for during his stay at the hospital.

We had spayed Blonde at the community clinic years ago. Earl continues to bring Blonde in for vaccination boosts and checkups. He feeds her very well -- perhaps too well. She spends her life indoors warm and toasty and has become Earl's #1 companion.

Earl asked if I would take care of her for a week, and I readily agreed as I know how much Blonde means to Earl. He wanted her to be safe until he gets home. We do not board animals, but how could I turn Earl and Blonde away?

Today Earl arrive with Blonde, who is not a happy camper right now, but will be in good hands.

It is so great to know pet guardians who are really taking good care of their pets and love them dearly.

Best wishes and prayers for Earl as he gets the medical help he needs.

RLRR dogs at Pet Haven

Check out the updates on these Red Lake Rosie's Rescue dogs at the Pet Haven dog blog:

Lulu

LULU IS ADOPTED: Hi-I just talked to Lulu's new mom who absolutely loves her. She is lives by Lake Harriet with lots of time to fuss over Lulu. They have been going for one mile walks everyday.

P. has had Cavaliers before but having a 35lb mix is a bit of a change. But Lulu has already won her heart and a spot on P's bed. So Lulu has gone from being chained to a tree all of her life to being a pampered lap dog.

N, thanks for watching over her while she went through treatment.
And then for fostering her. P says you can come by and see her anytime. She also will be bringing her to BVH so maybe you can see her then. Thanks Karen for rescuing her. L

Updates on May clinic dogs

Here's an update on Blonde and Izzy who went to Pet Haven during the clinic.

Also little Lulu who left a while back with heartworm.

Have a great day.

BLONDE & IZZY
NOTE FROM PET HAVEN:
Look at Izzy now. I got to meet her on Sat. Oh what a sweetie. She will not be with Pet Haven long.

Blonde also has a good foster home. Both girls will be in forever homes soon.

Lulu is going home from the vet today-after her heartworm treatment-with a vet tech. If she does well with her cat then the tech will adopt her. I never even got to foster this girl.

LULU

Yay for all!

Izzy: A girl looking for love

Izzy arrived last week to Pet Haven via Red Lake Rosie’s. She has been in foster care since last Tuesday evening and is getting along great with her canine foster brothers and foster parents.

IZZYOn Saturday, she had a wonderful time at the Paws for Peace event where she charmed young and old alike with her calm demeanor and laid back attitude. Kids, wheelchairs, strollers, big dogs, small dogs, nothing seemed to phase her! (Well, maybe the poodle wearing a beret took her by surprise, but really, who wouldn't be?) At approximately 1 year old, she still has some puppy in her, but she is housebroken and enjoys her quiet time chewing on her chew toys. She will need some help figuring out what she should be chewing on and what she shouldn’t, but she is very smart and will figure it out in no time.

IZZYIzzy had a hard start to her life, with scars and scabs to prove it, but she doesn’t let that keep her from opening her heart up to all that she meets. If you would like to open your heart to Izzy, please email pethavendogs@yahoo.com.

Busy weekend at RLRR

FAWNI wanted to let everyone know we had a transport on June 13 with a very special rider- an orphan white tail deer fawn enroute to Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Garrison, Minnesota.The fawn was brought here by a young clouple that found it orphaned. They were going to keep it and I talked with them about the fact that it would be best for the deer to go to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and then the next day they came back and surrendered the deer. By that evening, Wildlife Rehab said, yes, we will take the fawn.

FIVE KITTENSKristin and her husband Mike came all the way from Robinsdale to to transport 3 dogs, 5 kittens, 2 cats, and yes one deer. Izzy and Blonde, two white labs went to Pet Haven, Tnkerbelle to MUSHR, and kittens and cats to Tricounty Humane Society.

BLONDE & IZZYWe want to thank them and all other transporters who take time out of their very busy schedules to drive this precious cargo to various destinations and a chance for rehoming.

TOM & NANCYTo add to the excitment today Tom and Nancy delivered 8 new kennel panels to repair the two -pod kennels which had been on order from Home Depot. They also brought plywood for another project to make elevated beds for the dogs to lay on in the kennels.

Thanks to all
Sincerely, Karen and RLRR
