Three transports in three days!

We have three transports of animals coming from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue in the next three days. We want to empty out the shelter as much as possible before the animal clinic the first week of May when it is common for many animals to be surrendered or abandoned. Many of those dogs will require treatment for mange or other problems before they will be ready to transport off the reservation, so Karen needs all the room she can get in preparation for that.

It is an interesting phenomenon that the Red Lake dogs and cats have such a reputation for friendly, placid personalities. The rescue groups that have taken dogs or cats from Red Lake routinely comment on what nice animals they are considering their tough beginnings... or maybe because of them. There are many who believe that rescued animals realize they've got a good gig. Are they actually grateful or just enjoying their new life? I don't think that really matters.

Thank you to ALL the volunteers who make the transports possible. People who foster and help Karen in Red Lake, the drivers, the rescuers, and the organizers. We're making a difference for these animals now and we hope to change the future for the animals of Red Lake.
