September 7 transport

BLUE BOY'S BLUE EYESOn September 7, volunteers for Red Lake Rosie's Rescue met in Bemidji at Pete's Place South: Barbie, Kristin, Delores, Tom, Nancy, Carol, Arlie, and Karen.

NANCY & ORSONKAREN, KRISTEN, CAROLKristin and Barbie each had a van full of kibble for the shelter.

Eleven animals from RLRR and two animals from the Bemidji Pound were transported to the metro to various rescues including All Dog, AHS, Pet Haven, Animal Ark and MUSHR.

PATRICEPatrice went to All Dog.

BRANDI THENBrandi, a large malemute/husky mix was brought to the Ponemah Shuttle August 22nd. She was very starved and had been left at Battle River garbage dump a long time ago, as we had caught a glimpse of her there during several clinics and she somehow had managed to survive.

BRANDI NOWBrandi was illusive and we were never able to catch her- but a local resident of Ponemah caught her and brought her to us. She was spayed and vaccinated and thankfully was heartworm negative. After only 3 weeks she had gained lots of body weight and proved to be a great dog.

BLUE BOYMIAShe left for MUSHR along with Blue Boy and Mia on September 7.

FIVE PUPSAnimal Ark took in a litter of 5 pups which came from a large litter of 11. We made a home visit and the people wanted to surrender a large litter of very small pups. The mother dog was not producing enough milk and was moving the puppies and hiding them in the woods. We got these five before she took them into the woods. We are going to look for the remaining six and Ark has agreed to take them, too. Thankfully the owners have agreed to let us pick up the mama and have her spayed at the next clinic! Linda is the foster mom who has fostered so many Red Lake puppies and is expert at it. I expect we'll get some photos!!

HERSHEYHershey the little chihuahua went to Animal Ark, too.

KRISTEN & HER MOM DELORESThank you all for your great teamwork and commitment to the Red Lake animals!

Sincerely, Karen and RLRR

Bronson thanks you!

Bronson, our recent amputee, is one happy dog and wants to say thank you to all the kind people who pledged money to help pay his vet bill!

BRONSONAlso, thanks to Animal Ark for their kindness in taking Bronson for his aftercare and adoption. What a great dog he is!

BRONSONWhat started out to be a transport to get Bronson out to fostercare, turned into a transport to get 14 dogs and puppies out to potential forever homes.

TRANSPORT TEAMKaren, Carol, and her daughter brought animals to Bemidji and met the O'Sullivans who went on with the dogs and puppies to Motley where they met DeeDee who took the last leg to the metro area with Bronson trying to snuggle onto her lap.

TRANSPORT TEAM
TOM'S T-SHIRTHere are some pictures of the group. We especially liked Tom O'Sullivan's tee shirt he wore for the occasion.

JANNAJanna was found on the highway in the middle of nowhere. Waldo came from the Bemidji Pound scheduled to be euthanized. Both of them were transported to TriCounty.

BRADY & DUSTYDUSTYBRADYBrady and Dusty were 2 feral pups tamed by Carol and her family and taken by All Dog Rescue.

ARETHAARETHAAretha, a little pit bull lab mix, got a special placement with All Dog Rescue. We found her at the garbage dump in March and really had no place to take her because of her breed. She was a very sweet dog and I'm so glad she is getting a chance.

GARVINGARVINGarvin was a lonely little shep pup who got to go to TLC where we found out he was happy to join 3 other puppies.

FIVE PUPSFIVE PUPSA litter of 5 unwanted pups arrived the night before the transport and thankfully went to Tricounty for adoption.

LACEYLacey was a beautiful juvenile shepherd found as a stray with a tight collar. She had obviously been on a chain all her life. Her fur was all mottled with metal around her neck which is evidence of long-term chaining. We are hoping that will never happen to her again. She also went to Tricounty.

Thanks to everyone who made these rescues possible!
