Lovely Kira

Kira was a dog from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue who lost two toes after being caught in a trap about three years ago. Her family brought her in to ACT V Rescue & Rehabilitation and she is looking happy, healthy and gorgeous!

RLRR Booth at 2011 Pet Expo - Best Yet!

A big Thank You from Karen to Lynn and all the Red Lake Rosie's Rescue supporters who participated in this event! Search the blog for the dog's names below to learn their stories as previously shared on the blog.

Our fourth year at the Pet Expo continued to be a wonderful opportunity for people to learn about Red Lake Rosie's Rescue.

BOOTH DISPLAYOur dedicated volunteers shared information about Red Lake Rosie's Rescue, sold handmade items and proudly showed off their beautiful and smart Red Lake dogs. Many people stopped by the booth and told us about their lovable Red Lake dogs and cats that they adopted.

We raised $1,135 in sales and $180 in donations for a total of $1,315. That's over 40% more than last year - thanks to all the talented people who shared their handmade items with us, and to the donors who appreciate what Red Lake Rosie's Rescue does!

Kira: Lovely and Loved

Kira was a surrender that came in underweight with a severe wound infection in her right front foot. This husky was taken in by Dr. Vickie of Act V, and she received treatment as well as a great home.

We are so happy for Kira and her family! Thank you Dr. Vickie for helping Kira.

UPDATE FROM NEW FAMILY:
Here are some pictures of our beloved Kira.

Her foot had to have 2 toes amputated but it does not slow her down one little bit. She just has to wear booties in winter to protect the special foot.

To say that Kira is cherished and loved would be an understatement. She is a full member of the family and lacks for nothing. Kira has several dog beds, lots of toys and chews a most importantly a family that loves her. She is the perfect dog for us.

We are very grateful to everyone that played a part in her rescue and rehabilitation.
