Thanks to fosters & adopters of RLRR animals!

Here is an update on Samson, black lab from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue adopted by D&M from Animal Ark several years ago. Samson was rescued from the projects in Red Lake where he was suffering malnourishment and mange. We are so thankful that Samson now enjoys the good life with D&M who are great blessings to Red Lake animals. [Samson and his family have been featured a few times on the blog, so you can search the blog to learn more!]

They are now fostering Mosey, a chocolate lab juvenile, also taken by the Ark. They have also fostered other Red lake animals.

SAMSONThought you'd enjoy this picture of Samson lovin' life on vacation. This was last Labor Day weekend in Detroit Lakes.

Enjoy!

BACKGROUND ON MOSEY:
Mosey was brought to the shelter in early November by a local farmer. Apparently Mosey was a stray dog who discovered this man's "doggie door" and would make visits to his house when he was not home, making complete mayhem of his house. So- the man called and said if he did not find a place for Mosey, then he would have to shoot him. Well we took him at RLRR shelter where he made his home the next few months until Animal Ark took him where Maggie and Dan became fosters. I have attached pics of Mosey at the shelter.

MOSEYUPDATE FROM ANIMAL ARK FOSTER HOME:
We are doing well. Mosey is just a doll. He is now housebroken, knows how to sit, stay, kennel up. We are working on the "shake", which he has not quite figured out yet.

MOSEY & FRIENDS AT RLRRWe also have him on some pain management meds, as a few times during play with the other dogs, he has fallen on his side (his poor little hips) and started to cry in pain. Even though he has a bad "back end" he is full of pep, and runs around chasing balls. He loves to fetch.

He loves Dan, and loves to sit on his lap when we watch TV. For some reason, all of our foster dogs want to sit in Dan's lap and chew on kongs, or toys of some sort. We haven't figured out why they insist on sitting on Dan, rather then next to him.

Love from D&M, Samson, Phoebe and Gracie, and of course, Mosey!

Frigid transport

It was fortunate that DeeDee had already planned a visit to the rescue the weekend Karen was too ill to work. DeeDee brought along her son Jordan for his first visit and both of them did a lot of hard work in bitterly cold conditions.

A special THANKS to Kevin, too, for all of his help at the rescue during Karen's illness.

KAREN SAYS:
Well, needless to say we are experiencing record colds up here in northern Minnesota, and were so thankful to have a transport on January 23rd to warmer conditions for seven dogs/pups and Pet Haven foster homes for seven cats/kittens.

WILLARDUNOGARTHDARCEL & DARIONThis was Jordan's first trip to Red Lake Rosie's and when asked what he thought of it, he said it was "intense". He and his mother Dee Dee spent 2 days at the shelter taking care of the animals, clearing roofs, and unloading lots of food donations, canned and kibble for the cats and dogs.

Five of the 7 dogs had been living in the outdoor kennels and we had a record 33 below zero the night before their arrival. They will all appreciate their new "warm" environments.

MILONEE-MUSH & NAPOLEONMOSEYSpecial needs Milo, Napoleon, Nee-Mush, and Mosey are all bound for Animal Ark
