Jonnie Cakes: Transformed

What a wonderful update on dear Jonnie Cakes, who was found roped to a garbage dumpster in Ponemah. She was starving and full of mange. Now look at her.

JONNIE CAKES BEFOREFROM PET HAVEN VOLUNTEER:
I met Lizzie (formerly Jonnie Cakes) at the Three Rivers Dog Park yesterday.

"JC" had been adopted prior to me joining Pet Haven so I had no idea I was playing with a Pet Haven dog until I started talking to Lizzie's mom, Nancy.

Lizzie was having a wonderful time running around the park yesterday, herding all of the other dogs. Nancy was just the proudest Mom telling the other dog owners how smart Lizzie is and how well she has done with her training.

She can't believe the progress that they've made in just six months. Lizzie is a very sweet girl, a non-discriminating friend when it comes to both dogs and humans!

JONNIE CAKES (NOW LIZZIE) TODAYI spent quite a bit of time talking to Nancy about all sorts of things and I truly believe that Lizzie found Nancy, just as much Nancy found Lizzie. They are great friends!

Just wanted to share this happy tail with you all...another very successful adoption story!

BIG Transport to clear kennels before August clinic

Greetings! I wanted to share the information on another large 30 animal transport that left RLRR over the weekend. Some animals are in the metro area and others are enroute to ARVSS in Wisconsin.
We want to thank the faithful transporters Tom and Nancy O. who met the RLRR van in Bemidji and took the animals to meet Barbara O. in Motley. Barbara took them on to St. Cloud and into the metro. This great team has often stepped forward to help move the Red Lake animals and we are so thankful for them.

We have had a great influx of animals at the shelter and we are mindful that we have to clear out the kennels as much as we can for the upcoming animal clinic in early August. We are hoping the surrenders and homeless animal numbers decrease but want to be prepared for them.

We sent out 27 dogs/pups and 3 cats/kittens to the following organizations: Tricounty Humane Society; Pet Haven; Pet Projects; Red Lake Rosie's Petfinder Foster homes in Rogers; and ARVSS in Wisconsin, which is a foster-based program where we have sent many animals in the past.

Tricounty Humane Society- St. Cloud
GOLDIERUBYRuby is spayed and has her shots. She is a great gal and we are hopeful that she will be adopted real soon.
PRISCILLAPriscilla, the cat, was surrendered and we sent her to be spayed right away. She is a real nice cat.
PAIR OF KITTENSThese 2 little kittens are lovely and went to Tricounty Humane Society. With the numbers of cats, it is very hard to find foster homes for the cats and kittens. IF YOU THINK YOU COULD FOSTER FOR RLRR, PLEASE FIND MORE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE, www.redlakerosie.org.

ARVSS- Wisconsin
JEWELZMANNYManny came here all skin and bones and has made good weight gains in the past 2 weeks. He is a great little dog, on his way to a real home, and no more starving for him.
BARRYEWING DUCKBarry and Ewing Duck were stray puppies found wandering. They both are great pups and have foster homes now. No more foraging for food and no more homeless status for these boys!
KEYNAKeyna was surrendered with another dog as the owner could not feed the 4 dogs she had. They all have mange. Poor little Keyna had a gash on her face from food competition and has come out of her shell and gained weight already now that she has a good food and water supply.
FELICIASEVEN DWARFS PUPSTHREE MUSKETEERS PUPSPuppies, Puppies. We sent out lots of puppies, and were able to get one of the mamas spayed. We have been told by the owners that they will spay at the August clinic. We hope they do.
EDWINAEdwina has a very sad story. She is the only survivor of her litter who came here on 7/12/09. The litter of pups was starving and mange infested already. Then kids in the neighborhood where they lived hung the puppies by the neck and threw stones at them until they all died, except Edwina. A lady got the puppy away from the kids and we got her. The people do not know the kids involved and would give no information. Despite her shockingly tragic circumstances, Edwina is a "hoot". She is such a great pup and has a wonderful "I am happy" attitude. A real doll. She is going into foster care.

JONNIE CAKESThat is 30 little souls and we wish safe travels to everyone- We thank you for helping get each of these angels out to a better life. Mike and I will sure miss the ones we sent out, as they were a great group of very social animals, and they all got along.

A special thank you for the RLRR supporters, transporters, food donors, and receiving groups. All but 5 went to foster care. We wish we could say ALL went to foster care which is our goal.

Sincerely- Karen Good and RLRR

Red Lake residents support RLRR

Tony and Vonnie of Red Lake have been very helpful to RLRR for the past year. They have been rescuing and transporting animals to the shelter on a regular basis and are supplied gas for the trips.

TONY & VONNIETony works for Red Lake Housing and is sent all over the reservation and in his daily travels he sees many dogs and pups in need. He calls one of the RLRR people and then will bring the animal. He has saved over 200 this past year.

We have been very hopeful about the reduction of cases of mange in dogs, but last week Tony and Vonnie brought 6 very mangey animals in three trips to the shelter.

MISTERThey brought 4 puppies on the first trip. These pups came from the Ponemah dump. We have named the larger pup Mister. The three smaller ones are Toto, Tanya and Taneka.

TOTO, TANYA, TANEKAThen a day later they brought a husky we call Jewelz. She happens to be a sister to Rusty the puppy that went to Dino Beuge last winter that had been immersed in motor oil as a treatment for mange. He got sick and was surrendered to us, however Jewelz was not. Now they have decided to surrender her, as her mange continued to worsen.

JEWELZThen a day after that they arrived with a female shep we call Jonnie Cakes, Her bags were large but there were no puppies with her. She is a wonderful dog.

JONNIE CAKESWe want to thank Tony and Vonnie for their dedication in bringing cats and dogs to the shelter. Now all these animals have hope for a brighter future.

Lauren and Mike gave the four mangey pups, Mister, Toto, Tanya, and Teneka, all a special bath when they visited and they took them to foster care with Terresa, RLRR Petfinder foster and manager, and Kate, Caring Hands.

Thank you all who also transport animals out and to the receiving
organizations.

Karen Good and RLRR
