Lovely Lily

Lily is the third of the foster pups from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue cared for by Linda that recently found great homes.

NOTE FROM LINDA:
Lily went to a nurse who has owned many dogs who lived to an old age.  She has an adult daughter who lives close by who will also be involved with Lily's upbringing and already has plans to have her out for runs on many dog trails and around lakes!

Lily was all curled up by the daughter when I left.

UPDATE FROM LILY'S NEW HOME:
Hi Linda,

Thank you for bringing Lily to us.....we just love her.  Also thank you for taking the time to go over everything regarding her care, it helps to see it written down.

Here's an update on her status since you left her in our care. She barked for the first time when I was on the floor playing with her. She has been enjoying the blanket and the toy you brought. 

We found out that she has a good appetite and likes her water. We've been thinking of naming her Sadie, will let you know for sure soon. So far she is doing very well at going outside to pee and has also pooped three times. She is quite the snuggler, and seems so content......this makes us so happy. We can't get over how smart she is.

 My daughter Katy is a nurse and is working days for awhile so Sadie will be kept company in the evening while I'm working evenings.  I have Thursday off this week so will give her a bath.  I plan on calling her new Vet tomorrow.  This Vet has been our family vet since 1979.....a very long time.

Thank you for everything Linda....you were a Great Foster Mom....and we will update you frequently.

K~ and K~ and Sadie  :)

Que' Bonita

Bonita is another pup fostered by Linda who recently found her home. She has a serious expression, but she is a cuddler.

LINDA REPORTS:
She went to a young man who has owned dogs with his parents. He is a first time dog owner but, since he lives with his parents, he will be getting lots of good advice.

He is already very familiar with good quality food as he had been a manager at a Petsmart - really liked him.  Asked good questions and had good answers.

Pup or Cub??

Have you ever seen a puppy that looked more like a black bear cub??

Linda, foster mom extraordinaire for All Dog Rescue reports a great adoption weekend finding wonderful homes for three pups from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue, Raisin, Bonita, and Lily.  All three of these puppies were no doubt the only survivors of their litters. I'll share their stories over the next three days.

Raisin went to an older couple who treat their animals like their "kids" and also have 2 rescued cats.  They just lost a 120 lb, 14-year old black lab dog and are thrilled to have Raisin enter their life.

We want to thank All Dog and Linda for the great care and great homes they find for our puppies!

Sincerely, Karen

NOTE FROM LINDA:

Raisin is now known as Kodiak (Kodi for short).  Forgot to mention, they work split shifts so Kodiak is home alone for no more than 3-4 hours at a time, which is something I always look for.  Puppies should never be left alone for a 8-10 hour workday, in my opinion.

Linda

UPDATE FROM NEW HOME:

Kodiak is doing great. He is already getting the going potty outside and didn't have an accident in his kennel the last 2 nights he was in it along with the few hours in the afternoon the last 2 days.

He is starting to not chase the kitties so they are a little happier, LOL. They also have their perches where he can't get to them without them having to hide, so they are getting to know each other a little more. 

He seems to be quite smart and knows his name already, I know he going to be a good dog and we are in love with him. :)

Thanks much for taking such good care of him.

Gertie gets a second chance

I saw Gertie on the highway looking for food last Saturday while returning from the transport.

 

I stopped because the little girl was in the middle of the highway and, when I saw her condition, I knew she needed help. She has one of the worst cases of demodex mange I have seen.

She came running to me for the food I put out and was put in the van and taken to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue.

I sent pics to Dr. Vicky at Act V who immediately told me that she would take Gertie on the next transport.  She left on March 2nd and is settled into her new foster home with her new toy! 

Thank you Act V for giving Gertie a chance.

Sisters ready for adoption

Time for some recent photos of sisters, Dani and Panda.

Seems like we've been following them for a long time, but they were so tiny when they left Red Lake Rosie's Rescue for foster care through Act V.

They are ready for adoption now and they've got lots of energy to share with a active family.

Contact Act V Rescue and Rehabilitation for more information.
