Happy Mother's Day: Adventures in fostering

Maime and her litter of two Easter kittens went to Pet Haven for foster care. We were pleased to receive an update on their adventures!

COTTON AND CLOVER

UPDATE FROM PET HAVEN: 

Mama Maimie climbed up by the fuse box and hid her two tiny kittens into the rafters between the ceiling of the basement and the first floor! The foster family had to take down the ceiling tile to rescue the babies and they moved to Mary Ann for bottlefeeding.

MAIMIE AND HER BOYS

It took two days to catch Maimie in a trap and reunite the family. Everyone is VERY happy mom is feeding and caring for them again! They are all in a large kennel now at Mary Ann's until Maimie is really settled in. She was friendly, but scared when she arrived and it was thundering that weekend, too. 

COTTON

Poor Maimie has a dull, thin, rough coat and the kittens have dull coats. She has probably had litter after litter in her 4 short years - at least that is what Karen was told for age. The boys are doing well; Cotton is at a normal weight for his age but is significantly smaller than Clover.

CLOVER

Maimie is a good mom and feeds them willingly and gives them baths. She’s doing well - likes to have her chin scratched, pet all the way down her back.

Always adventures!
Mary Ann

Crimson is now Sora

These were my Red Lake fosters (Crimson, Clover and Chester - Crimson is the one in the front of the puppy pile) from last Oct.

I recently received beautiful photos and a video of her along with an e-mail update.

UPDATE FROM NEW HOME:
This is Sora in her first week of nosework. She's all 'business' now. Loves loves LOVES the find the treat game! If she continues to love it, I may try to compete with her. It does wonders for her self-confidence.

URGENT NEED for fosters/rescues to take puppies

Last night was probably a record-setting animal surrender night at Red Lake Rosie's, other than the clinics -- We took in 22 animals yesterday. Click here for more information on how you can help.

EMERGENCY PUPPY PENSThankfully Jodi and Barbara were here and together with the help of Mike we were able to erect new housing for the incoming animals. Everyone has been such hard workers.

BARBARA & JODIJodi and Barbara have cleaned out the cathouse and organized and cleaned everything. It looks wonderful!

Needless to day we have all dog kennels full to overflowing, and 16 cats in the cathouse.

10 SHEP PUPS8 SHEP PUPSIONE, A FERAL PUP FOUND ALONEIDGIE3 SHEP PUPSMARTY, BIF & DOUGCLOVER & ABBYBARBARA HOLDING BIFBarbara and Jodi plan on taking some animals out tomorrow.

We are thankful that Tricounty Humane Society, St. Cloud has responded so kindly and are taking the 2 large litters and Idgie as soon as we can get transport for them. But we need foster homes or rescue organizations to contact us to help the rest.

Perhaps the saddest story is that of Margo. She is a young small-breed dog and her litter of pups was attacked and killed by another dog. She is depressed and really needs some tlc.
