Here's an update on our past RLRR foster kitten, Sprinkles (now Sofie):
"Hi Lauren,
Thank you and Mike so much for taking such good care of my kitty while she was in foster care! She is absolutely wonderful and is already very much a part of our family! Sasha and I love her and can't get enough of her :)
She is so curious, playful, social, and cuddly! By now she has explored every corner of the new house and enjoys running around with the speed of light. She likes playing with anything and everything, but a featherstick is her favorite.
And when Sofie gets tired after playing and jumping around, she comes and sits on either mine or Sasha's lap and purrs while we pet her. Our house has definitely become a more fun and happy place since Sofie's arrival."

Mike and I packed the car full of donated food before heading up to the shelter this past weekend.
LOTS O' PUPS
We arrived very late Friday night, but when we woke Saturday morning, we saw that the shelter had tons of animals!
KITTENS
Puppies, dogs, and cats were all over the place!
FOGGY MORNING AT RLRR
We helped out with the chores and took some of the doggies for a walk in the field. It was gorgeous weather, not too hot or humid.
BOTTLE BABIES
Karen and I bottle fed some tiny pups whose mama had died.
JESSICA
We played with a special mama dog, Jessica, who is the biggest sweetheart! She is going to make a great companion when she has weaned her pups and puts on some more weight. Even though she has some hairless spots, she is so beautiful!
GIRL DOG
There was also a poor, very overweight lab, "Girl Dog", who has an injured back paw, but is still a very lovable dog.
TAFFY
TRUMAN
I just loved two of the dogs we transported back: Taffy - a sweet, docile adult and Truman - a handsome, playful pup. I'm sure these guys will get great homes!
CARMEL
It amazes me what great animals come from the reservation, given their sad circumstances.
SPRINKLES
We headed back to the Twin Cities on Sunday with 19 animals to go to foster care. We will be fostering little Sprinkles, a tiny, spunky kitten - so, if anyone knows of someone wanting to adopt a little one, let me know!
TAKIN' A WALK, GETTIN' A DRINK
Thank you to everyone who took in foster animals - the shelter really needs to free up some space! It was another great weekend. Thanks to Karen and Mike Wilson, who work tirelessly up there!!
SUNRISE AT RLRR
Also, I have organized two more fundraising events at the Mall of America's Nickelodeon Park: Saturday, Oct. 24th (4:15 - 10:15pm) and Sunday, Nov. 29th (11 - 7pm). Each volunteer will earn $50 to be donated to RLRR. Please email me at coxla03@aol.com if you would like more details or would like to volunteer your time.

P.S. - I have made a RLRR Group on the Best Friends Network. If you are a member of the Network, please become a fan of RLRR. We will soon become a Best Friends Network Charity, so people will be able to donate money through our group on the network. Thanks!
