Krystal Izzie

UPDATE FROM ADOPTERS:
In November 2008 we adopted "Krystal" from the Animal Ark Shelter in Hastings. She has turned out to be a wonderful, wonderful part of our family. I thought I would take some time and update you on her. I am sure you see a lot of puppies and may be curious about the kind of dogs they turn out to be.

We renamed Krystal "Izzie" when we got her. She was one of the 6-8 white shepherd mixes that came to the shelter received from Red Lake Rosie's the first part of November 2008. Izzie was the biggest of the litter (at least the ones that were left).

She has been such a gentle dog with our kids, although still a puppy at 18 months old (don't leave your shoes out). When we got her, she was a big white puff-ball, but now she is more yellow lab in color. She has grown into a good sized dog - about 70 lbs. We have a good sized house and a fenced yard and she enjoys both. She is an inside dog, but we believe she may have a cold hardy dog breed in her, as she will sometimes lay down in the snow, and won't come in for 30-45 minutes. She seems to prefer the outside temp around 10-20 degrees.

She is an extremely intelligent dog, maybe one of the smartest I have ever had.

Just a great dog all around. Anyway, thank you for rescuing her way back in 2008. I often wonder how her brothers and sisters turn out.

RLRR dogs at Pet Haven

Check out the updates on these Red Lake Rosie's Rescue dogs at the Pet Haven dog blog:

Lulu

LULU IS ADOPTED: Hi-I just talked to Lulu's new mom who absolutely loves her. She is lives by Lake Harriet with lots of time to fuss over Lulu. They have been going for one mile walks everyday.

P. has had Cavaliers before but having a 35lb mix is a bit of a change. But Lulu has already won her heart and a spot on P's bed. So Lulu has gone from being chained to a tree all of her life to being a pampered lap dog.

N, thanks for watching over her while she went through treatment.
And then for fostering her. P says you can come by and see her anytime. She also will be bringing her to BVH so maybe you can see her then. Thanks Karen for rescuing her. L

Updates on May clinic dogs

Here's an update on Blonde and Izzy who went to Pet Haven during the clinic.

Also little Lulu who left a while back with heartworm.

Have a great day.
Karen

BLONDE & IZZY
NOTE FROM PET HAVEN:
Look at Izzy now. I got to meet her on Sat. Oh what a sweetie. She will not be with Pet Haven long.

Blonde also has a good foster home. Both girls will be in forever homes soon.

Lulu is going home from the vet today-after her heartworm treatment-with a vet tech. If she does well with her cat then the tech will adopt her. I never even got to foster this girl.

LULU

Yay for all!

Izzy: A girl looking for love

Izzy arrived last week to Pet Haven via Red Lake Rosie’s. She has been in foster care since last Tuesday evening and is getting along great with her canine foster brothers and foster parents.

IZZYOn Saturday, she had a wonderful time at the Paws for Peace event where she charmed young and old alike with her calm demeanor and laid back attitude. Kids, wheelchairs, strollers, big dogs, small dogs, nothing seemed to phase her! (Well, maybe the poodle wearing a beret took her by surprise, but really, who wouldn't be?) At approximately 1 year old, she still has some puppy in her, but she is housebroken and enjoys her quiet time chewing on her chew toys. She will need some help figuring out what she should be chewing on and what she shouldn’t, but she is very smart and will figure it out in no time.

IZZYIzzy had a hard start to her life, with scars and scabs to prove it, but she doesn’t let that keep her from opening her heart up to all that she meets. If you would like to open your heart to Izzy, please email pethavendogs@yahoo.com.

Busy weekend at RLRR

FAWNI wanted to let everyone know we had a transport on June 13 with a very special rider- an orphan white tail deer fawn enroute to Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Garrison, Minnesota.The fawn was brought here by a young clouple that found it orphaned. They were going to keep it and I talked with them about the fact that it would be best for the deer to go to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and then the next day they came back and surrendered the deer. By that evening, Wildlife Rehab said, yes, we will take the fawn.

FIVE KITTENSKristin and her husband Mike came all the way from Robinsdale to to transport 3 dogs, 5 kittens, 2 cats, and yes one deer. Izzy and Blonde, two white labs went to Pet Haven, Tnkerbelle to MUSHR, and kittens and cats to Tricounty Humane Society.

BLONDE & IZZYWe want to thank them and all other transporters who take time out of their very busy schedules to drive this precious cargo to various destinations and a chance for rehoming.

TOM & NANCYTo add to the excitment today Tom and Nancy delivered 8 new kennel panels to repair the two -pod kennels which had been on order from Home Depot. They also brought plywood for another project to make elevated beds for the dogs to lay on in the kennels.

Thanks to all
Sincerely, Karen and RLRR
