Bronson thanks you!

Bronson, our recent amputee, is one happy dog and wants to say thank you to all the kind people who pledged money to help pay his vet bill!

BRONSONAlso, thanks to Animal Ark for their kindness in taking Bronson for his aftercare and adoption. What a great dog he is!

BRONSONWhat started out to be a transport to get Bronson out to fostercare, turned into a transport to get 14 dogs and puppies out to potential forever homes.

TRANSPORT TEAMKaren, Carol, and her daughter brought animals to Bemidji and met the O'Sullivans who went on with the dogs and puppies to Motley where they met DeeDee who took the last leg to the metro area with Bronson trying to snuggle onto her lap.

TRANSPORT TEAM
TOM'S T-SHIRTHere are some pictures of the group. We especially liked Tom O'Sullivan's tee shirt he wore for the occasion.

JANNAJanna was found on the highway in the middle of nowhere. Waldo came from the Bemidji Pound scheduled to be euthanized. Both of them were transported to TriCounty.

BRADY & DUSTYDUSTYBRADYBrady and Dusty were 2 feral pups tamed by Carol and her family and taken by All Dog Rescue.

ARETHAARETHAAretha, a little pit bull lab mix, got a special placement with All Dog Rescue. We found her at the garbage dump in March and really had no place to take her because of her breed. She was a very sweet dog and I'm so glad she is getting a chance.

GARVINGARVINGarvin was a lonely little shep pup who got to go to TLC where we found out he was happy to join 3 other puppies.

FIVE PUPSFIVE PUPSA litter of 5 unwanted pups arrived the night before the transport and thankfully went to Tricounty for adoption.

LACEYLacey was a beautiful juvenile shepherd found as a stray with a tight collar. She had obviously been on a chain all her life. Her fur was all mottled with metal around her neck which is evidence of long-term chaining. We are hoping that will never happen to her again. She also went to Tricounty.

Thanks to everyone who made these rescues possible!

Every happy ending is a gift

DUSTYFROM LAURA AT RESCUE BUDDY BOARDING:

Hi Karen-happy birthday to you.

Here is a new photo of Dusty and his sister. Dusty has just started doing therapy work by reading with kids. Oh that boy. I love that dog. He has a good life now.

Thanks for all the dogs and cats you help to save. They are all sending you their best wishes today too.

Have a happy day-Laura

Dusty & Maebelle: It's a dog's life

FROM RESCUE BUDDY BOARDING & BEYOND BLOG:

Dusty, our first foster dog from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and his Aussie sister Maebelle are enjoying a bed built for two. What a life of luxury. Dusty has come a long way from being a cast-off up on the reservation.

It is not all a life of relaxing however. Maebelle does therapy work in the schools teaching kids with learning problems to read. And soon Dusty will be taking over so Maebelle can retire. Dusty loves kids and he is a quick learner. And the kids will love him too. His nickname is "Mr Wiggle Butt" because his whole body wiggles when he wags his tail.

These success stories are why we continue to take in foster dogs.

Mr. Wiggle Butt

NOTE FROM DENISE:
I included a "before" picture of Dusty, not because of a dramatic physical change, but because of the obvious change in his happiness and energy and confidence. It's wonderful.

BEFOREFORMER FOSTER MOM SAYS:
Dusty was adopted by M who is a writer and her boyfriend is an IT guy. They both work from home so Dusty will have company most of the day. And there is an 8-year-old human that lives there half-time who will be thrilled to throw many many tennis balls -- Dusty's favorite outdoor activity.

Dusty's new canine sister Maebelle is 12 and is a quiet girl. Dusty obeyed her stay-away-from-my-treat commands. And Maebelle let him finish off her breakfast. Maebelle does therapy work in the schools. M is hoping to train Dusty to take over her job when Maebelle is ready to retire. Dusty will be the perfect reading buddy. He loves kids.

Karen thanks for saving this boy and sending him to me. And T thanks for putting up with all the first timer questions.

AFTERUPDATE FROM ADOPTERS:
Subject: Dusty is...

the best dog, ever! We absolutely love him and he is fitting in so great with all of us. J calls him "Mr. Wiggle Butt." No accidents, no wrong things chewed, learning the boundaries of the yard, just a complete joy and constant surprise at how well mannered he is. We all are in unabashed, uncontrollable dog-love.

Thanks so much for all that you did for him! He will never forget you and we will definitely be in touch if he needs to be boarded.

Best,
M, S and J
MR. WIGGLE BUTT

July 12 Transport

LAUREN AND MIKE AND RLRR MIKEMike and Lauren came to RLRR shelter once again and spent the weekend working and then took out a large transport on Sunday July 12th. Total 21 dogs and puppies and 3 cats and kittens left, all to foster care except 2 cats to Tricounty Humane Society.

MIKE AND LAURENThese two young people have been so helpful to the Red Lake animals. They have stayed at the shelter several times, and also came to the May clinic as volunteers. It is encouraging to see younger people interested in animal rescue and issues.

CINDERMISTEROn this trip they started painting the outside of the roundhouse. They made it 3/8 around and did a very nice job. They also painted the trim on the addition. Also, improving the grounds as well as spending time with the animals. They gave 5 mange baths to Mister, Jewelz, and the 3 tiny pups Toto, Tanya, and Teneka.

ERICA, ERIN, ELIZABETHDusty came badly matted and hungry. We got him vetted, shaven, and immunized. Isn't he handsome? He is in foster care with Laura.

DUSTY1DUSTY2Little Antonio Tony came to the shelter and had a rubber band around his tail and the tail falling off, so we took him to the vet and had his tail amputated. He was headed to Nancy at Pet Projects.

ANTONIO TONYBubba, the big white dog from the May clinic, and Survivor the kitten were also part of this transport.

A big thank you to the receiving organizations including Tricounty Humane Society, Caring Hands, Terresa and RLRR Petfinder foster homes, Pet Projects, Animal Ark, MARS, and Pet Haven.

Sincerely, Karen and RLRR
