Red Lake Rosie's Rescue will be participating at the Minnesota Horse Expo this year
with a booth April 26th-28th at the state fair grounds. The goal of this is to
educate and get a larger base of supporters that can and will help the
organization. We will be selling homemade dog treats, homemade toys and
homemade collars along with RLRR t-shirts. If anyone has something that they
would like to donate, that is homemade and dog/cat related, let me know and
chances are we can sell it to raise funds. I would also like to have some
former RL dogs as ambassadors, they do need to be very friendly and ok with
everyone wanting to pet/touch them. Again, let me know if your interested. The
hours are Friday and Saturday 8:30 am until 7pm (although the expo is open
until 9:30pm) and Sunday 8:30 until 5pm. We are in the Poultry/Sheep Barn to
the left of the front entrance. The reason for the difference in time is that
the buildings that have animals close earlier. We need volunteers to help with
the booth and be willing to talk about the rescue to interested people. I will
plan on being there early each morning and staying all day. What hours/days
would you guys be able to help with?
As this gets closer, I will put an actual schedule out of who will be
there and what time. Any suggestions are Welcome, I really want to make this a
HUGE success. RLRR deserves it! :)
Needs/wants
-would love to have a couple red vests that the ambassador dog wears
identifying it as a former RL dog-any sewers?
-before and after pictures that we can hang up 5x7 or larger (no
frames)
-pictures you think are worth showing off 5x7 or larger (no frames)
Look forward to hearing from you, have a good one!

Dear Denise:
Carol Priest has been one of RLRR friends for the past 4 years.
Carol works in the Red Lake community and has started a number of social programs including the homeless shelter. Not only does this lady love and care about the homeless people, she also has a special heart for homeless dogs. She has sent many to the shelter, volunteers for rescue during clincs, feeds animals at the Group Home and has been a great help. She has a special gift of being able to win the trust of dogs who are more difficult to catch.
Pictured here is Carol with her recent rescue of "Sarge" a homeless dog she has been advocating to get out of the community and to the shelter. She brought Sarge during the Akin visit and had him neutered, immunized, and a wound under his leg repaired.
Sarge is a very nice dog, and we are hoping to find just the right placement for him.
We are so very lucky to have Carol as a partner. Thank you, Carol, for all you do.
RLRR
