Mighty Mason

Hi Denise,

This is JJ~.  I have donated to Red Lake Rosie's over the years, and recently adopted a dog that came from Red Lake via the Carver Scott Humane Society.  His name is Mason, and he was one of about six german shepherd mix puppies that Jean fostered. 

Just wanted you to know that Mason is doing well and growing fast.  He is about ten weeks old now and progressing in his potty training.  Our other dog Bear, an 8 year old shitzu-yorkie mix, really loves having him around.  We lost our elderly german shepherd at the end of February, and Bear has been very lonely since then.  He was thrilled when we came home with Mason.  

 Our kids are doing great with Mason, and helping with his care.  We have three children still at home (and one at college); ages 17, 15, and 13.  They are a big help with taking him outside and helping to potty train him.  

Mason loves toys, especially squeaky toys. He also likes sticks, which you will see in one of the pictures. ( we don't let him chew too much on them) He is really enjoying our yard, especially now that the snow is gone.  

We have a local Petco that has puppy play classes on Saturdays, which we intend to bring him to to help him socialize.  He is pretty social on his own, but it's always good to learn to play well with others!  Mason has a very sweet and mellow temperament, and enjoys attention.  He is a great addition to our family.

Just wanted to let you know how he is doing- he is a very good dog, very sweet.  We are really enjoying him!

Dogs needing placement ASAP

I have heard from DeeDee and Karen that the rescue is overwhelmed with puppies and dogs again. The clinic is the end of this week, so we have to be prepared for additional surrenders.

CONNIE AND PUPSKaren is out of kennel space and had to release 7 or 8 dogs in order to make room for the puppies. Those dogs will, hopefully, stay nearby because they have access to food, but the situation is not good.

CONNIE STARVINGShe has about 20 puppies and 25-30 young adults, as well. A good number may require treatment for mange and starvation.

JAZZ AND PUP JAKEJAZZ AND PUP JAKEHere is Jaz and her pup Jake that just came in to RLRR. They are small to medium sized dogs. They are wonderful dogs and will be vetted at the clinic, if anyone can rehome them.

MASONLittle Mason also needs a foster home. He's male, probably around a year old.

JAMBIKaren also took in a Min Pin she calls Jambi who is in very bad shape. Jambi only weighs 3-4 lbs and has been horribly starved. According to the owner Jambi was mauled by dogs in July and his front left leg is atrophied and scarred. He is also suffering malnutrition. He is scared, and takes a while to warm up. He hides under his blanket.
JAMBIGood news for Jambi, Act V has agreed to take him.

Please let Karen or DeeDee know if you can take in any animals.

Thanks
