Carlton Collie

Dear Denise:

Hi and glad to report we have rescued another purebred collie, named Carlton Fritz. Minnesota Wisconsin Collie Rescue is taking him and he has a foster home in Iowa.

He was neutered, and got all his shots. He's a tri-colored beauty with a very nice personality rescued from euthanasia at the Bagley Dog Pound last week.

He is a very lucky boy to go to MWCR. They have also offered to pay all his vet fees!

Sincerely, Karen

Corkie, another collie

Denise--

On Friday we had a call that a stray dog that "looked like Lassie" had showed up at a place near the reservation boundary.

Mike, my helper, and I responded and found Corkie, who was surely a pure-bred collie. He was a very friendly boy and eagerly came with us. His fur was badly matted and it seemed he had been on his own a while.

One call to the Minnesota Wisconsin Collie Rescue and Corkie was on his way Saturday. We met a transporter in Mahnomen about 85 miles from Rosie's and he is enroute to a foster home.

We are so pleased with the quick response by MWCR. Truly amazing!

Sincerely, Karen Good RLRR

Dakota finds a family

Dear Denise:

In September 2006, I got a report of a stray collie in Little Rock on the reservation. I had no place to put him as all kennels were full so I stopped to visit him daily to feed and water him. He was a wonderful dog! One day when I arrived to see him, he had a large wound on his head. I immediately put him in the backseat, and took him home.

Minnesota Wisconsin Collie Rescue quickly responded and today Dakota is adopted by a loving family. He has a number of medical issues, but his new family does all they can to make his life more comfortable and full of love!

Karen and RLRR


NOTE from Dakota's family:

Dakota still has his seizures. We have tried everything. We are at the point that whatever makes him happy, we do. Nothing seems to make a difference. He has been to a Neurologist at the U of M. The Holistic Vet at the U of M also. He also went to a Holistic vet in Blaine MN. We are now treating him with medication and good food.

I wish in the beginning I would have spent the money and did the MRI, but at $1500, there were no guarentees what it would show and the neurologist, said it would not make a difference in his treatment. We have now spent over that in different tests, lab work, medicine.

They don't know if the seizures were a direct result from the head injury in came in with. He is also Hypothyroid, so he is on medication for that also.

He is a very sweet dog that has come along way in the 2 years I have had him. He was afraid of everything. He still runs away when I shake out any clothes, or if my husband pokes at the fire.

Tell Karen, I owe her big time. Dakota has brought much love, friendship and taught us much. We love him. He is the reason I'm so involved in rescue.
