Nancy answered the call on Friday November 2nd to transport a load of 37 animals from Red Lake, Leech Lake and Bemidji Pound to Animal Allies of Duluth. With winter impending, we are happy to move animals to warmer facilites where they have an opportunity for adoption.
ALPHABET PUPS
Riders from RLRR included the dogs Tammy, Snooki, Lily, Brownie, Scruffy, Jillian, as well as a litter of 6 sheps and another litter of 2 labbies.
SCRUFFY
LILY
BROWNIE
SNOOKIE
The cats included Harold and Toki, a orphan litter of 3 that went to foster care, Zach, Jack, and Zeke plus a litter of 3 grey tabby kittens from Bemidji area.
Many of the dogs and puppies are the remnants of the clinic surrenders.
JILLIAN
Jillian is a very sweet little dog, who needed help walking on a leash.
TAMMY
Also Tammy, who has been here for the second time, now gets a chance to be adopted. Tammy came in last winter with a litter of pups which we weaned and sent off, except for one pup and Tammy who was spayed and returned to the owner. Unfortunately, Karen got a call in October that Tammy's owner had moved out and Tammy was homeless, and her puppy was hit by car and was dead. Of course we went to search for Tammy and found her with porcupine quills and very thin. She was frightened and took a while to catch, but came around real quickly at the shelter. So this in a sense is her third chance at getting a safe and stable home!
ZEKE
ZACH
JACK
The kittens were all darling. Zeke, Zach and Jack were all rescued by Polly from the Red Lake garbage dump.
The tiny litter of orphans kittens were found in the woods in Ponemah and were rescued by Curtis who brought them to the shelter.
A special thank you to Dr. Wictor of Animal Allies and Nancy for helping get these animals out with hope for good homes.
Sincerely, Karen
Nancy brought gifts from herself and other RLRR friends. One of the great treats for the cats was a tall beautiful cat tree donated to Chuck & Don's for us. Jane Norling picked it up with donated food. The cats were very happy to have the gift and many enjoyed climbing and enjoying the sights from the top of the tower!
Nancy has a special gift with the cats and kittens. The cathouse was bustling with activity and fun. Not only did she catch us up on laundry, she had lots of time to show love to the kitties too.
Early the next morning Nancy was busy with cats again and then helped load up the transport with outgoing dogs and puppies.
Headed for Animal Ark was a group of 5 puppies from the woods that I found the day Nancy arrived. Animal Ark had taken another 5 of the litter last Saturday. The mama dog had 11 puppies, and started moving them out to a den in the woods. I was able to get five on my first visit and when I returned there were only 5 left, so we are not sure what happened to the 11th pup. Anyway, the ten are safely reunited with their littermates in the care of Linda who fosters for the Ark. The mama dog was fixed at the clinic last weekend!
Also on transport was Dancer, a small breed dog that was surrendered with another blind Poodle we call Diamond. Dancer was accepted by All Dog Rescue and will be in foster care. He came in very frightened and cowering, but improved so much over the past 2 weeks.
All Dog also took Tulip aka TuTu. Tutu is a little shep mix that came in a month ago with her brother Tutter. They were badly starved and had many parasites. It took a long time to get them to put on nice body weight and get over diarrhea. 
Tutter is still looking for his special placement. Both are wonderful dogs now that they are no longer starving.
Sarge was a surrender at Ponemah during the clinic, 
Jillian was abandoned by her owner who moved out and left her behind, and the little litter of 3 was found by Tony and brought to the shelter. 
We named them Harley, Demi and Hannah.
