The Year of the White Dog

GRACESILAS & SOLOMONIt seems that in rescue, we go in cycles.

ASTRA & NOKOMISLITTER OF 7Some years it is the black dog- some years the brown dog- and this year it happened to be the white dog.

FAWN AND BELLA & BETABETA & BELLAWe had so many white dogs and puppies this year.

MILENAPETRA & PEACHESFortunately, white dogs are very desireable and we moved many to rescues and foster care.

Waiting for Astra

Early last fall, a large white puppy known as Astra came to the shelter.

ASTRA & FOSTER FRIENDShe had been a stray in the housing project and began a long wait at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue.

After she gained weight and was fixed and vaccinated, we noticed small patches of demodex mange on her face. Other than that she was in great shape- but who would take a dog with demodex, which is an inerited mange, although not contagious, may be difficult to cure?

Astra spent the long months in a kennel, getting out two times a day to run and romp in the shelter yard, but we were concerned about a future for her.

Well, thanks to All Dog Rescue, Astra finally got her opportunity to leave and enter foster care. We are so happy for her, and want to thank All Dog Rescue for taking a chance on Astra.

ASTRA & RLRR FRIENDSWe recently got a very nice picture of her with her foster brother. Much better home than living alone in a kennel!

ASTRA & FAWN AT RLRRAstra had many friends at the RLRR shelter- but so happy she has a chance for adoption now.

Best wishes Astra!

Sincerely, Karen
