Record 73 animals at RLRR this weekend

RLRR had a record high of 73 animals on Saturday at 9:00 p.m. when a little pup was surrendered that was found on the highway in Red Lake. We are so thankful that 19 animals left on Sunday morning for a chance to find their forever homes.

LAUREN AND ORPHAN PUPSJaycee recently went "on strike" so Lauren spent time bottling the orphans.Lauren and Mike arrived on Friday night and spend Saturday working at the shelter on various projects. We are very thankful for their dedication and many trips they have made to help Red Lake animals.

SPRINKLESprinkle went to Lauren and Mike for foster care- this little kitten was irresistible.

THREE HUSKY PUPS AND LONE PUP3 husky pups plus the one lone pup went to Animal Ark foster home.They left Sunday morning fully loaded with animals going to Tricounty Humane Society, All Dog Rescue, Animal Ark, Pet Projects, and to RLRR foster care homes. A special thanks to all these groups who are helping us out by taking in animal during a very high volume season.

Ahnung's plea

FROM AHNUNG THE RED LAKE DOG'S BLOG:

Help my friends ... please?

As many of you know ... the only reason I am still alive and I am still here to enjoy life is because of Karen Good of Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. I was dumped along with my litter of 8 pups last fall, and if she hadn't taken me in I would've continued wandering around trying to survive. Check out my first blog entry and you can watch a video of my story (keep a box of kleenex handy!).

IONEAnyway, Karen needs your help now and so do my friends up north. She recently took in 22 dogs and is in desperate need of fosters and rescues to help. The cute shepherd pup above is Ione. Here's what they have to say about this sweet pup: "found wandering alone - Karen G. says she is about 10-14wks old. Says she is pretty scared. NEEDS socialization. This takes work but it can be accomplished. She was caught by a volunteer so she has hope in her future. She is a gorgeous little shep cross. This puppy would need to go EVERYWHERE with you and LOTS and LOTS of TLC and treats. :) Maybe a fenced in yard due to the potential to run."

I also asked my Human to put together a video of photos she took on 3 separate trips she made up to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue last fall. Her first trip was in October (when she met me ... there are photos of me ... my glamour shots when I was still nursing my pups!). She then went back in November so she could bring me back. I had heartworm and was still nursing my pups so she couldn't bring me in October. Then in December we went back together so we could visit Karen and my friends ... AND we helped in transporting 18 dogs/pups/kittens back to the Twin Cities.

Check out the video ... and if you are willing to consider fostering my Human says you can foster through Pet Haven (the rescue that took me in) ... all you need to do is provide a loving home [all expenses are covered by Pet Haven].

It's going to start getting cold up north soon ... so please help my friends up north before winter comes.

love,
ahnung

URGENT NEED for fosters/rescues to take puppies

Last night was probably a record-setting animal surrender night at Red Lake Rosie's, other than the clinics -- We took in 22 animals yesterday. Click here for more information on how you can help.

EMERGENCY PUPPY PENSThankfully Jodi and Barbara were here and together with the help of Mike we were able to erect new housing for the incoming animals. Everyone has been such hard workers.

BARBARA & JODIJodi and Barbara have cleaned out the cathouse and organized and cleaned everything. It looks wonderful!

Needless to day we have all dog kennels full to overflowing, and 16 cats in the cathouse.

10 SHEP PUPS8 SHEP PUPSIONE, A FERAL PUP FOUND ALONEIDGIE3 SHEP PUPSMARTY, BIF & DOUGCLOVER & ABBYBARBARA HOLDING BIFBarbara and Jodi plan on taking some animals out tomorrow.

We are thankful that Tricounty Humane Society, St. Cloud has responded so kindly and are taking the 2 large litters and Idgie as soon as we can get transport for them. But we need foster homes or rescue organizations to contact us to help the rest.

Perhaps the saddest story is that of Margo. She is a young small-breed dog and her litter of pups was attacked and killed by another dog. She is depressed and really needs some tlc.
