Connie & Cindy visit and transport

Connie and Cindy recently revisited the Red Lake Rosie's shelter June 26 and 27. They brought a giant load of supplies and food for the dogs and cats. These donations came from Susan and Heidi, as well as those provided by Connie. They had their vehicle packed with gifts under the seats and even in the door pockets!

CONNIE & CINDYConnie and Cindy spent Saturday working hard in the cathouse, storage barn and also caring for the animals. Lots of work was done that helped us get caught up.

CINDY & HACKIECindy spent the rest of the afternoon/evening giving all her love and care to little Hackie who had just returned from the vet.

READY TO GOThe team was up at sunrise and out with the transport by 7:00 am. They managed to "squeeze in" an additional cat crate and a crate for Hackie as well.

Thank you to Connie and Cindy, as well as all the great people who donated supplies, and the rescues who are giving the animals a chance for adoption.

Sincerely, Karen

Rest in Peace, Hackie

Dear Friends:

We all followed Hackie's story and his battle to live. well, in spite of Act V's very best efforts and also a transfer to ICU --he passed away.

Thank you to all who tried so hard and for all who were hoping that the little doxie would make it.

We also want to thank Joan Lawson for her generosity in going all the way to get Hackie all the support he needed, which neither Act V nor RLRR could afford.

We are all sad today, as we all had so much hope for him. We just got to him too late.

Karen and RLRR

Healing thoughts needed for Hackie

Hackie (short for Hackensack) was found at the Red Lake garbage dumpster by Carol Priest - a dachshund, starving, mangy, dehydrated and near death.

SIDE VIEW OF HACKIEHe came to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and went to the vet. He received sub-cu 400 mL of ringers solution, got a penicillin shot, and an injection of ivermectin. He began eating little bits of A/D canned food.

HACKIE'S FACEHe is an angel with the most beautiful eyes. These pictures will tell the horrible story of all he has been through. I knew he would need constant medical attention for the first week just to keep this boy alive.

TOP VIEW OF HACKIELuckily, Act V stepped forward to take him. He was transported on Sunday and on Monday he had surgery for a blockage in his small intestine that turned out to be a brillo pad.

Act V sent an update: "He made it thru the night, just starting to eat. He's quite a fighter!" Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Karen

UPDATE 6/30/2010:
Great news on our doxie with the Brillo pad--See Dr. Vickie's comments!

"He's doing really well today. He loves his dry food now and is hungry! His stool is getting better and he's more active."
