Black labs adopted

Black lab mix dogs are slow to be adopted, just like black cats, even though everyone who's had one will tell you they are the best! Anyway, we were especially glad for these UPDATES FROM ALL DOG RESCUE:

I just wanted to give you a quick update on two dogs that came from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue that had exciting news in the last couple of days.

CARLISLECarlisle (called Murphy at All Dog Rescue) was heartworm-positive after all, plus he had lots of broken teeth and a tumor on his tush that was benign but needed to be removed. Well, his foster dad got him through his dental, tumor removal, and heartworm treatment, and last Friday he was adopted by one of my colleagues from work! I'm so excited that he is with someone I know because I'll get to hear updates all the time - it is a super nice family of a mom, dad, and two girls. Dad is a serious runner so he'll get lots of exercise, but mostly he's going to get tons of love.

JONASAnd as for Jonas (called Jace at All Dog Rescue since we have another Jonas)
- well, he's not even going to make it to Petfinder! He had been in his foster home for almost a week when we got an application for a different dog. The dog they applied for wasn't a good fit, but we put them in touch with Jace's foster mom, and I just found out tonight that he's going to be adopted by them! I know he was up there with you for quite a while, so I'm so happy he found a home so quickly!!!

Better late than never

On Sunday, March 13, Barbie once again came to the aid of Red Lake Rosie's Rescue driving all the way to Bemidji to meet Karen and volunteer Geri with a load of animals enroute to other rescues and shelters.

CARLISLEWe arrived about 1/2 hour early, (or so we thought) and marveled that Barbie had already unloaded all the food and supplies from her van.

GIFTSWe got busy unloading animals and getting them loaded in Barbie's van. She never mentioned anything about us being late.

GERIWell- we had forgotten to turn our clocks to daylight savings time, and we were operating on the "old time" for 3 days before we finally discovered it, so we called Barbie and apologized and she just laughed. What a great lady!

BARBThank you Barbie for always being there for the Red Lake animals when they need a ride.

RODNEYRodney, the rott mix was brought to the shelter by the police from the Halfway House in Redby. He was a stray and the management wanted him removed with his brother Ralph. Well- Rodney hit paydirt and ended up in a foster-to-adopt home with MARS Bully Breed Division. He was a bit stubborn about getting in a crate, and had never ridden in a car before, so that was our only challenge.

CARLISLE MAKING FRIENDSCarlisle was rescued from a house in the projects. The tenants had moved out and left Carlisle and a little tan dog behind. We have not been successful (yet) in catching the small dog. He left for All Dog Rescue.

CHARISSECharisse was rescued by Nancy and Carolyn and went to Tricounty.

JAMBIJambi was surrendered because he developed rickets. He was transferred to Dr. Vickie of Act V.

PEEWEE & PATTIPatti and Pee Wee are two little labbies who were spayed. Pee Wee, the smaller of the two broke out with parvo and was at the vet in Gonvick and made a speedy recovery! They also went to Tricounty.

Thanks to all,
Karen
