Julie's transformation & homecoming

Julie is a husky mix dog that has been a permanent resident at the Karen Good residence for the past nine years. Julie has had a skin condition all her life which progressively got worse last fall, 2014.

Mike and Lauren, long time Red Lake Rosie's Rescue volunteers had, through the years, fallen in love with this little girl who was often balding.

In November, Lauren and Mike, who are vet students, asked to take Julie to their home in St. Paul where she would get help from a dermatologist. Over the next 6 months, Julie remained in their care and progressed very nicely. She has been treated for demodex mange and is getting injections for allergies which will be a lifelong treatment.

JULIE IN JANUARY

On April 24th, Mike, Lauren and Julie made the trek north to return to RLRR. Julie immediately knew she was home and headed straight for the open food bowl. All the dogs remembered her well and were happy to see her.

Thank you Mike and Lauren for your great care of Julie bringing her back to life again!

JULIE & LAUREN

LAUREN ADDS:
Julie was with us for six months for treatment of lifelong skin issues. When we first got her, she was pretty miserable - itching constantly and had a few open sores that wouldn't heal.

JULIE & MIKE

Over the next few months, she was treated with a variety of medications, received intradermal allergy testing and began allergy shots. Julie's skin improved a great deal and she started growing in a pretty coat of fur! 

JULIE, MARCH 11

We loved having Julie in our care. She is such a sweet, gentle dog and we miss her a lot! When we brought her back up north, she went straight for the food bowl (she had been on a weight loss plan with us)! We hope she stays happy and healthy for a long time! 

Thanks,
Lauren

Updates on Julie and her pups Sweetie & Remy

This is such a wonderful story-- and a special thanks to Carol
P. who made the rescue, and Tony who transported them to the shelter!! Karen :)

UPDATE FROM ALL DOG RESCUE BLOG:
Sweet Julie (formerly Rose) came to us from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue, who took her in from the woods where she had been living with her litter of puppies. Julie and two of her puppies came to All Dog Rescue, and all three have found wonderful forever homes! Their new families have all sent updates:

Forever Home for Sweet Julie

JULIE/ROSEThings are going well so far. Julie loves her walks and is getting better about walking on the leash, not trying to chase every rabbit and squirrel that she sees--and we have lots! This past weekend we practiced not having to be in the same room at every moment of the day. :-) She'll go into the back yard by herself now. She also learned to sit! I'm not a very good trainer but she learned very quickly. Yesterday we tried playing with toys but she couldn't quite get the idea until today when she took one of the stuffed toys outside and ran around with it it like a lunatic! It was great fun to watch!

Thank you for making it possible for Julie and her pups to have a new life. She is a wonderful dog.

A happy ending for Sweetie...

SWEETIE/LUCY
It has been a wonderful beginning!! Sweetie is such a good girl and very smart... of course we have taken 30 pictures at least but I think these are the best for now... it is one on her new bed which she loves, with her toys, with my daughter in back yard, and with her again at swim lessons this early morning... we played in the park for an hour this morning. she loves napping through day then at around 12 noon we will have to play again... we just love her so much... we are going to buy a little play pool this afternoon.

More photos are available on Sweetie's happy ending page.

...and a happy ending for Sweetie's brother Remy!

REMINGTON/RICKYRemy has definitely established his place in the house. And as you can see from the pictures - Scarlett LOVES him! They play constantly - to the point that they have to be taken outside separately. Otherwise, he is just too busy to remember what he's outside for. :-) She is really quite the mother hen with him. He woke up the first night, but since has slept through the night. I think it helps that Scarlett sleeps by his kennel. He's not too sure of what to think of the cats. He uses his deep bark on them - it's hilarious!

I hope you enjoy the pictures. I think he's already grown since these. We're going to take paw prints once a month just to watch how much he grows.
