Tales of three dogs

Red Lake dogs come in all shapes and sizes from all kinds of situations.

PORK CHOP
This tiny pup was found at the dump with his head stuck in a can -- no doubt trying to get food. The family who found him, took him home, fed him some meat from a pork chop and that's how he got his name. He was brought into the clinic, neutered and bathed, and went home with the family.

SAVAGE:
This dog is apparently a Shar Pei mix and was the runt of her litter, but is a runt no more. She was unspayed until this clinic and had had a number of litters. The owner explained that she got her name because she was always fiesty around food and very diligent about fending off other dogs from her pups.

Recently, the dog was out on the front porch and some guys came to rob the place armed with hatchets. They swung at the dog, but she fought them off and they went away.

DUKE
According to Karen, this 16-year-old shepherd belongs to a family in Red Lake. His leg injury was an old injury that keeps flaring up. The family that has Duke cares very much for him.

The photos and stories of these dogs touched me. I'm so glad their owners all cared enough about them to bring them to the clinic. I know our mission at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue is making a difference for these and so many other animals. Thanks again to every person who helps to make the clinics and the daily work of the rescue possible.
