Friday, February 25th, 2011, Red Lake Rosie's Rescue spent the morning visiting with 10 classes at Red Lake Elementary and Kindergarten Center.
Karen Good, along with some friends of the shelter, Lauren, Helen and Kevin, brought a few of their furry friends to do some education about the shelter and the care and treatment of companion animals.
The students had lots of good questions and learned about the many ways that Red Lake Rosie's helps the animals of Red Lake.
They also had a lot of fun visiting Bridget the husky, Stanley Steamer the pup, and Cisco the cat.
Students of Red Lake Elementary and Kindergarten Center have been collecting pennies for the whole month of February to donate to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue Shelter to help with their efforts in keeping the animals of Red Lake healthy and safe.
They will be presenting their donation to Red Lake Rosie's at their monthly school-wide morning meeting Wednesday, March 2nd.
Did you know...Red Lake Rosie's Rescue rescued 771 animals and fixed nearly 700 animals in 2010?
They will be having another free spay/neuter/vaccination clinic for companion animals of residents of Red Lake on March 17, 18, and 19 in Redby.
KAREN REPLIES:
Thank you so much for the opportunity to visit your school.
We found the kids to be open, and well-behaved, very interested in what we had to say, and had lots of comments and questions.
We had a great time!
The visitors were Karen Good, LaUren Cox-Dosal, Helen Brozio and Kevin Wolden. The guests of honor were Bridget, the husky; Stanley Steamer the tan puppy; and Cisco the cat.
A special thank you to Michelle for all the organization, to all the kids who have been busy raising funds this month, and also all the administrators, teachers and support staff who make such visits possible.
Sincerely, Karen Good and RLRR
Mike and Lauren visited Red Lake Rosie's Rescue once again. Lauren arrived Wednesday, February 23rd, and Mike arrived Friday February 25th with a rented van provided by our metro support group and friends. The van was loaded with food, crates and supplies to help the shelter and community animals.
MIKE AND THE RENTED VAN
The days passed quickly as we were busy taking care of many animals that came and also visited the Red Lake Elementary School with humane education classes.
LAUREN AND MONSTER
Lauren took special care of all the cats and a little neonatal litter of 3 tiny three-week-old orphan pups that arrived on Tuesday night. The mama was dead, and so Lauren tried her best to feed and care for them. We lost the struggle with two, however, Monster, the little male rode out with Lauren today enroute to Act V where he will get great care.
We also had many trips to the vet during the week.
APPLE
Mike spent lots of time organiziong and unloading food and supplies into the barn leaving us well-stocked. He brought donations from all corners of the metro.
SLATE
As usual, we had community members that stopped by the shelter. One man stopped for a dog house and some straw for his dog who needed shelter and food, another man stopped in who needed food as well. A couple stopped by to get some wormer for their 4 cats who needed help. We have a great connection to the community and the residents feel comfortable asking for help.
LAUREN & GREMLIN
Lauren and Mike left at 9:00 am on Sunday February 27th loaded with 10 cats and 17 dogs and puppies off to many rescues including Pet Haven, A Rotta Love, TLC, Act V, Feline Rescue, Tricounty Humane Society, All Dog Rescue, Second Hand Dogs, St. Francis of Assissi, and Maia Pet Project.
MOLLY
DOLLY
They will meet the O'Sullivans in Bemdji to add 2 more small dogs to the van.
TOBY
Toby went to Maia Pet Project
STANLEY STEAMER
Stanley Steamer was found wandering in the west end on the road in very cold weather. A nice man found him and brought him to the shelter. He is at St Francis now. (Stanley Goes to School - will be another blog post as we took Stanley with us when we went to do humane education last Friday!)
JETTA
Jetta was rescued by Polly and is enroute to TLC
FOUR SHEP PUPS
A little litter of 4 scaredy pups are on their way to TLC. Mike and Lauren warmed them up quickly.
CARRIE, THE CARROT
A cat with seniority, Carrie, The Carrot leaves for Feline Rescue after being free in the cathouse since August. She is a darling cat.
GILDA
Gilda, a little garbage dump rottweiller was rescued by Polly and gets to go to A Rotta Love.
BLAISE
It is amazing the teamwork and support we have to benefit the Red Lake animals! There are so many good people and rescue groups out there that help us make a difference by each doing what they do best.
MIKE & LITTLE PUPS
LAUREN & LITTLE PUPS
A special thank you to Mike and Lauren for their dedication and kindness. They have a great way of being able to reach all the animals, and even the fearful ones are trusting of them in a very short time.
JONI
It is peaceful at the shelter today and a sense of relief as Mike and Lauren drove off, knowing we have moved out animals with hope for the future and made space for the upcoming clinic surrenders and others that will need our help in the meantime.
THANK YOU ALL.
Sincerely, Karen RLRR
