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.

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.

Local helpers, Janelle & Keith

The days are long at Red lake Rosie's. An evening call let us know of 2 hungry shepherds in the Little Rock area west of Red Lake. Janelle and Keith are two great kids who visit the shelter often.

JANELLE & KEITHThey quickly answered the call tonight and went to find the two shepherds and brought them to the shelter. Their owner was a handicapped man who admitted he could not care for them, so he surrendered them.

Janelle lured them in her car with a box of milkbone and once they got the box, they refused to give it up. They ate most of the treats before they got to the shelter!

We are not sure yet if they are boys or girls, but they enjoyed an evening meal gulping up the food in less than one minute and settled in their kennel. Tomorrow will be a new day for them, as the food and water will keep coming. Soon they will feel more at ease and be ready for a new life.

A special thanks to these two great young people who really care about the animals. They have brought many dogs to the shelter over the past year.
