Food Shelf Abundance Part I: Samson's Story

SAMSON

Many people and groups are to be thanked for filling our RLRR food shed recently. Firstly, we thank our friend Samson a large black labrador dog. So many the Rescue blessings seem to go back to a canine or feline friend from the past. Samson was a rescue many years ago, with mange, heartworm, and malnourishment and his life changed when Dan and Maggie adopted him and he became part of their family.

SAMSON AND HIS DAD, DAN

Samson and his guardians Dan and Maggie came to RLRR shelter after his adoption with a van load of food and Samson was no longer a shelter animal but came into the cathouse as a dignitary bringing help to the animals here. He showed off his manners as he had learned to sit and shook hands. It was a very moving experience to have Samson come to help other animals at his former rescue and to learn about the great life he now enjoyed.

Samson and his family spent some of their favorite times at a cabin on a lake near Detroit Lakes, MN.

Sadly, a few years later, Samson passed away after a battle with cancer, but left behind an imprint on Maggie and Dan forever. SEE: http://redlakerosie.blogspot.com/2013/02/samson-in-memorium.html

They have not forgotten Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue. Maggie established a relationship with Purina and organized a load of 7,500 pounds of cat and dog kibble which was transported to Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue.

We want to thank Samson, the Larsons, and Purina for this great blessing!
