Dora Diva Doberman

Dora, the doberman, must have had a guardian angel watching out for her. First, Karen got a call from a school counselor that a mother doberman was in peril of being destroyed. She had 4 pups and the people who owned her no longer wanted her around their home, so they were going to shoot her.

Thankfully a young girl in the family pleaded for Dora and she was instead taken to the garbage dump and left. Avis, a very great helper of Red Lake Rosie's Rescue goes to the dump often and saw Dora, and called the shelter.

The next bit of good luck was there was a MN SNAP clinic in progress at Redby and so there was an opportunity for Dora to be dropped there where she could be spayed and vaccinated. The young girl was called and asked to go and get Dora at the garbage dump and then turn her in to the clinic the next day- which she did.

Dora was such a good girl and everyone loved her. She spent only one week at the shelter and then was off to a better life.

A special thank you to the MN SNAP clinic staff and volunteers, Nancy and Kristin for transport and the Doberman Rescue of Minnesota for taking this girl, now called Diva.

We are so happy to be working with various specialty rescues, many for the first time. The specialty rescues love Red Lake dogs and are having great success at finding them great homes.

Sincerely, Karen

UPDATE FROM DOBERMAN RESCUE OF MINNESOTA (DRM):
Through caring people on the reservation Diva has made her way to DRM. This girl is nothing but gentle and kind.

Diva walks nicely on a leash, takes treats gently from your hand, crates very well, rides nicely in the car, gets along well with other dogs and may even enjoy some ball playing. This sweet girl will need a home that can give her lots of love.

She has been spayed, micro-chipped, and is up-to-date on all vaccinations. She will need some time in foster to recover from her pregnancy and the difficulties of her former life.

Dora's other sister, Gypsy

Here is an update on one of the puppies I was fostering. She is another of Dora's sisters, but Dora is still waiting for a forever home!!!

Isn't she cute. :)

GYPSYHello!

Just wanted to say thanks again for your wonderful help with Gypsy. She's been doing GREAT. She seemed to adjust right away. We decided not to crate train her and she's doing PERFECT:) Very smart & not destructive. She's 15 lbs now. Her floppy ear has switched sides, lol.

I've talked to the vet about DNA testing her but we havn't done it yet. They are certain though that she is part Australian Cattle Dog. I see her sister is still waiting for adoption. I hope she finds a home soon!

Thanks again,
M

Sage -- Week One in her new home

This little girl was from the litter of 8 from Red Lake. We had gotten four of them. Dora, her sister is still in foster care. No one has applied for her YET. :(
We got an update from Sage's new home.

Here are some pictures - you can see how Sage's coat is changing color.

We went to the vet today and she weighs 15lbs! Her check out went great- didn't even make a peep when she got her shot.

cheers,
