July 24 Transport

EIGHT BLACK LABBY PUPS HEADED TO ARVSS:
Another transport went out Saturday, July 24, carrying 16 dogs and puppies to their destinations. Karen met O'Sullivans who drove all the way to St. Cloud to meet Barbara Olson who went on to Black River Falls, Wisconsin, to meet Susie of ARVSS.

Barbara picked up a load of 1,000 lbs of kibble from Act V and Dr. Vickie which was transferred to the O'Sullivans in St. Cloud. This is a great help for food for Red Lake animals in need and for the shelter dogs and cats. It seems lately we are seeing more and more starvation among resident's dogs which is very troubling.

We are developing a feeding program as we identify those with the most critical needs.

BRONWYNBOSLEYBronwyn and Bosley went to Tricounty Humane Society

TWO HUSKY PUPS
THREE HUSKY PUPSCole, Regis and 12 puppies went to ARVSS

COLE
Cole was found in the Projects with mange and starvation. The people in the neighborhood say he goes house to house looking for food. He is a great dog and so appreciated the food, shelter, and water he got at RLRR. Now he is off to foster care with ARVSS.

REGISRegis was rescued by Janelle and Keith as he was a little starving male that was being attacked by pitbulls. Thankfully he got here before he was killed. He had multiple bite wounds on neck, face, chest and abdomen. He is a lucky dog to be in foster care with ARVSS. He will never go hungry again.

EMILYMore info on Emily. Someone in the community emailed Red Lake Rosie's website and said there was a puppy at the Red Lake garbage dump and lots of bears around there too. Polly answered the call and rescued little Emily. She is a beautiful puppy and went to ARVSS where they dearly love her. She also became a favorite of Mike and Lauren. They pampered her and bathed her when they visited.
Great puppy!!

We appreciate the animal foods, the transporters, and those rescues that are taking the Red Lake animals.

Sincerely,
RLRR and Karen

Mike & Lauren's visit; Ginger's departure

SHADOWWe had a great time with Mike and Lauren on their most recent visit July 20 - 22. They took many of the great photos included in this post.

LAUREN & EMILYWe really got lots accomplished in the storage shed with more shelving units put up and more organization of the shed contents.

Mike and Lauren are great with all the animals and are motivators of rescues. We did get Bosley, Bronwyn, and LeRoy on Tuesday, July 20th when we made a trip to the west side of the reservation on a mission to help the dog with the large tumor on his leg.

SIAMESE-MIX KITTENSThe days started with morning chores taking care of the dogs and cats. Kongs and toys are a favorite as all the animals get their share of both when this couple is around.

BUBBLES
BRONWYN
BRISCO
They left with special needs cargo including

CEE CEECee Cee who went to All Dog Rescue;

LEROYLeroy to Act V; and

GINGERGinger to Second Hand Dogs.

Ginger had been at the shelter since the last RAVS clinic in August 2008. We expected her to spend her entire life here at the shelter, but when Patti visited she worked a little with Ginger and she felt confident that she could rehabilitate her and get her adopted to a real home.

GINGER & FRIENDWe will miss Ginger but wish her the very best.
