Family rescue

The Red Lake Housing was remodeling a vacant home in Redby, and a call came that when the people moved they left behind Laser, Sammy, and a litter of puppies. The whole family was hungry, infected with mange and had no means of support.

NOLA & NELLACarol and I dropped food and on first visit were able to catch 2 puppies. We were told one had died the night before we arrived. We named the puppies Nola and Nella. Sammy and Laser were too shy to be caught at that time, so we would dump food and dose the food with ivermectin so we could get a start on the healing of the mange.

NOLA & NELLANola and Nella spent about 3 weeks getting good food and mange treatment. Both developed rickets on the front legs, but responded well to treatment.

We continued to drop medicated food for Sammy and Laser in the weeks to follow.

On March 3rd during the Akin clinic, Carol and Nate went out and were able to catch both Sammy and Laser. What a happy day! We now had the entire family in our care.

SAMMYBoth Sammy and Laser got over their fear and recovered nicely, both were altered and all have moved on.

LASERLaser went to Tricounty and has been adopted and the two surviving pups, Nola and Nella went to Twin City Pet Rescue. Sammy was the last to leave on 25th enroute to Second hand Dogs in Claremont where many of our shepherds go.

We don't often get this lucky, but are so happy with the outcome. A special thank you to Carol and Nate for getting the most difficult ones!

Patiently Waiting for Their Forever Homes!

These 3 RLRR cats are all waiting to be adopted and have a forever home of their own. All of these cats live with dogs and other cats and do just fine with them. If you are looking for a cat, please read their short bio's or pass on the information to someone who might be interested.

GIZMOGizmo is a young girl who came to us as a scared and lonely kitten. She has blossomed into a spitfire - full of life, energy, and personality! Gizmo loves to play with anything - the other cats, her toys, or even her own tail. She also is a sweetheart who loves to cuddle and will fall asleep purring while getting pet. Gizzy is such a great girl - a perfect combination of spunkiness and sweetness.

LASERPoor little Laser has been in foster care for 6 months now and she's just around a year old. That's no life for a sweet girl! Laser has the most adorable round face you'll ever see with big, yellow/green eyes. Her favorite thing to do is play with her toys. She loves to carry around her bouncy ball or cat nip mouse as she runs around the house. She is not a needy cat, but still likes a good cheek rub once in awhile. She is a very easy cat to take care of.

TEENYTeeny is a great little girl who would do well in any kind of household. She is loving and likes to curl up in her foster mom's lap to take a little snooze. She also loves playing with her foster sister, Gizmo, and will run around chasing her all over the house. Teeny is a sweet, slender girl who needs a home of her own where she will get the love and attention she deserves.

Thanks,
Lauren
