Update on Aurelia, Kane & Mah-koonse

I know I just wrote about the transport of these dogs yesterday, but that was Dec. 18 and they have been in foster care long enough for an update. Check out Aurelia's ears -- LOL!!

AURELIA (now GINGER)Thought you might want to see Aurelia (Sorry, I just couldn't remember that name, so she answers to Ginger now.) The pictures are a tiny bit deceiving. Our girl is a wild one, a real rascal in constant motion; definitely full of energy. Just wanted you to know she is doing fine. Wish I could have gotten some of the crazy happy pictures for you so you could see how much she enjoys life.

Ginger is a healthy happy golden lab shepherd mix with beautiful markings. Rescued from an abandoned house where she had been locked for a week without food or water, Ginger now weighs twenty five pounds and is full of joy and energy. She is approximately four months old, smart and affectionate. She is spayed and has had all of her shots. Ginger (a.k.a.GinGin) is very curious,loves to play, explore, and truly appreciates every meal.

December 18 transport

A transport went out on Saturday, December 18 carrying 14 animals of which 4 were in need of very special care.

WHITE BUFFALOWhite Buffalo came here some time ago as a stray starving and mangey.
He had a large white build hence the name, and when he left he weighed in at 92 lbs. His mange was well under control and he was neutered and vaccinated. His mange, however, had gotten into the eyes and he had a condition of entropia where the eyelids curl under and irritate the eyes. They were red and inflamed. He was operated on at the Clearwater vet the day before he left for a foster home with MARS. They report he is doing well there.

MAH-KOONSEAlso, Mah Koonse (which means Bear Cub), a black chow shep mix came in a week before the transport. Bear Cub had a badly injured leg from a dog attack while trying to get food. He was abandoned, so a man from the Circle Pines brought him to RLRR. Thankfully, Act V took him and I am told that he has a bone infection and a broken leg. He is now safely in Dr. Vickie's care.

AURELIAAurelia, a little shep mix, was found in an abandoned house by the housing workers when they went in to renovate a home. The people moved out and left her locked in. She was in the house over a week, and was pretty malnourished and dehydrated on arrival. She got a lucky break and is in the care of Crystal a RLRR volunteer foster.

KANEKane, a cocker spaniel, went to Barb in foster care for All Dog Rescue. This little boy had severe double ear infection and was badly in need of a bath and grooming. We are finding out he has food aggression problems so are trying to find him help.

DEACONDeacon, a german shepherd went to Second Hand Dogs in Claremont.

LITTER OF SEVENA litter of 7 puppies went to Northwoods.

JEMAL
DIANAJemal and Diana and two more puppies went to Tricounty.

The O'Sullivans and Barbara Olson made the transport possible.

Thank you to all the great people and great rescue groups/foster homes who are making this a special Christmas for each of the precious and needy animals on this transport.
