Bella & Maya: Both RLRR dogs!

Two years ago, Bella (formerly Goldie, on the right) was rescued by Red Lake Rosie's and then moved on to All Dog Rescue, where she was adopted to her forever home. She quickly became friends with the two cats in the household.

About a year later, the family decided it was time for another dog and adopted Maya. Goldie and Maya quickly became the best of friends. Maya also came from RLRR via All Dog Rescue!

The family really loves these two and is grateful to the organizations that brought them into their lives.

Maya's story of rescue and loss

On New Years Eve 3 dogs were delivered to the RLRR shelter. Among them was a dog I named Maya. She is a medium-sized female who was suffering hypothermia, malnourishment and was dehydrated. Maya was a stray who had been found searching for food and nearly frozen.

Maya was given food, water and a warm dog house lined with straw and fleece blankets donated by Susan and ABE! Fund. Maya was shy at first then warmed up nicely and was friendly. On day 3 however, I noticed something that was heartbreaking. Little Maya's breast began to fill with milk. Only then was I sadly aware she had a litter somewhere on the reservation. I called the person who found her and there was no sign of puppies so I suspect they froze to death.

Maya has been saved, but I am sure she has a broken heart over her loss.

We are so thankful for the straw and blankets donated by Susan and ABE! Fund , and donated dog houses from the recent food drive that are so critical at this time. Maya went to All DOg Rescue foster care on Jan 4th.

We only hope the weather breaks soon. Many animals at Red Lake and other areas of Minnesota suffer greatly at this time. Thank you all supporters and rescues who help these animals.

Sincerely, Karen

Kita & Maya

Hi!!
Just wanted to give you an update on the pups we adopted last fall. They are a firm fit in our family and are very happy dogs. They are inseparable and if we try to take one for a walk by itself, the other will sit in the house and go crazy whining and pacing. We have a problem with them running off and not listening when they are together though!

KITAThey have completely different personalities and Kita is the leader and has the friendlier attitude. Maya is kind of the "dumb one" but it makes her even more lovable!

MAYAI do have some bad news to report though. Maya always had kind of a funny way of walking and started showing signs of having some pain, so I took her in and had her hips xrayed. Turns out its something with her pelvic bone and the leg bones don't sit in the pelvis right. The vet said he never saw such a bad pelvis and said the ideal thing would be a total hip replacement. She is already showing some signs of arthritis.

I'll let you know what we decide after I find out more. We love her dearly and will do what I can as long as I can afford it.

OMG!! Cutest Pup Ever??

My friends T & L already adopted Maya two years ago from RLRR. Lucy was transported on Feb. 1; she and her littermate were pictured in a blog post wearing darling sweaters.

Denise,

I am excited to let you know that L and I took another puppy from the Red Lake Rescue, Her name is Lucy and she is beautiful. I am going to attach a few pics of her first night in our home. I also wanted to thank you for giving us access to these beautiful dogs from up there. We are going to be giving some money and or supplies very soon.

Maya celebrates her second birthday!

Hello,

My wife and I would like to thank you for allowing us to adopt a beautiful puppy in November of 2007. She is wonderful and has brought much joy to our lives. We are contemplating adopting another puppy in the near future. We would like to get the same breed if we can; she is a husky shepherd mix. Maya is beautiful and fun. We know you get animals all the time and we would like to adopt in the next 2-3 months. We are friends of Denise and she keeps us in the loop on puppies coming through as well. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you receive puppies with that mix, again thank you very much.

T & L

Ps you will find a picture of Maya's B-day party attached. :)
