Augie gets a fresh start in August

Brother dogs, Augie and Dobie, came to Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue shelter in June.

These two brothers were living on the White Earth Reservation and the owner said she could no longer keep them. The littermates were unsocialized and had been picked on by large dogs in the home. The owner wanted to surrender the mother, too, but she was too feral to catch.

We are thankful to Bill and Teresa of WE R Furr Feline Rescue for saving the brothers and transporting them to RLRR.

AUGIE & DOBIE

At RLRR, the boys remained in a kennel and would not let us leash them until finally, late in July we were able to catch them and put on harnesses.

For Dobie this worked very well. He learned how to walk on leash and was coming around nicely with treats and the harness. Soon he was able to leave for a rescue with hopes of adoption.

HARNESS

This meant Augie was left behind. One day he slipped out of the harness and ran away. We looked for poor Augie but could not fine him. We feared he had died. Then one day he came running down the road and sat by his kennel. He went in and was still very scared, but at least we had him secured and he could eat and be safe. 

Poor Augie, what would become of him? Well, a wonderful thing happened. The ACT V clinic in August brought a bunch of great people. For starters, Augie was neutered and vaccinated by Dr. Vickie and ACT V volunteers.

GROOMING

He was also groomed and bathed by Carma. Then John and John made the decision to take on Augie as their next foster through All Dog Rescue.

It was like magic. When they worked with Augie, he began to trust them immediately and stopped shaking. Augie is now in their care and has hope.

Thank you to everyone who made a new life possible for Augie.

Sincerely, Karen RLRR

AUGIE WITH FRIENDS IN FOSTER CARE

UPDATE FROM FOSTER HOME: 

This is our newest foster, Augie (for now - new name coming soon). He hitched a ride with us back from Red Lake. Very scared, timid, afraid of everything, but we know he's a little gem in the making, like every other Red Lake Rosie's Rescue dog we've re-homed!

Dobie blog

My husband and I are fostering Dobie Gage, a former Red Lake Rosie's Rescue dog, through Act V Rescue. After seeing Stuart Little's adorable blog, I thought what a good idea for a potential adopter to be able to see more pictures and videos of him, so I have started a blog for Dobie Gage.

He has been with us in foster care since late May, and now is 6 weeks post-op from surgery on his leg after being hit by a car (we think). He is looking for a forever home and recovering well.

He is sweet and spunky -- we are having fun with him. His blog address is http://www.dobiegage.blogspot.com/. Here's a picture of him and I when we were visiting my parents,what a little love bug!

Check out his previous RLRR blog post from Dr. Vicki and Karen.

Dobie is on the mend

Dobie is a cute young labbie about 6 months old that his family did not want. We noticed limping when he arrived at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue, although he would surprisingly also run and play. It turns out that Dobie had a front leg with two broken bones AND a broken back leg. He had survived with two broken legs for some time.

He was underweight on arrival and quickly gained weight with his fill of great food, shelter and water, something he had not had before. We sent him to Dr. Vickie to get orthopedic help at Act V Rescue & Rehabilitation.

We are so thankful to have Act V helping our injured animals.

UPDATE FROM DR. VICKIE:
Dobie has an old fracture of his radius and ulna on the right front leg.

I've asked Dr. Rasmussen for a consult on the broken head of the femur.

He was neutered Sunday, anaplasma and lyme positive. No suprises here. Nice boy!
