Frigid transport saves lives

LAURA, THE VAN, THE DOGS AND THE COLD WINTER SKYWe are so happy here at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue to have Dee Dee and Laura come at just the right time. The temperature had plummeted to a 31 below zero wind chill, when 21 dogs/pups and 6 cats/kittens rode out Friday, December 11 at about 10:00am in warm crates lined with soft, warm pads.

DEE DEE AND LOADED VANOnly a few days ago, a litter of pups, a kitten, a chihuahua we call Penelope, Sybil a shep and her puppy Sunny were all found at a cold garbage dumpster on the Red Lake Reservation- Yes, some died, but the survivors traveled as "precious" cargo in the care of Dee Dee and Laura. Our special thanks to Polly and Carol who braved the cold and made multiple trips to rescue them from the dumpster area.

DUMPSTER PUPSPENELOPESWEET SYBILWe are honored to have dedicated people who travel hundreds of miles to work so hard and deliver all these animals to their more comfortable indoors climate. A big thanks to all the big hearted rescues and shelters taking these animals including Pet Projects, Second Hand Dog, All Dog Rescue, Tri-County Humane Society, and Red Lake Rosie's foster homes.

YUM YUM PUPSPETRAMS PEPPERHats off to all who make this rescue a reality and offer hope for the little ones who are hopelessly dumped at the garbage bins!!

Peace and great joy today-
Karen and RLRR

Dogs ready to leave Red Lake Rosie's Rescue

Karen's care is the first line of defense for the dogs that come to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue starving and miserable from mange. Often, Karen will keep the dogs to treat them for mange and then send them on to other rescue groups for continuing care and placement. These dogs are ready to move on. Can you help? Can you resist??

SIMONSimon was found at the Red Lake dump. He now weighs about 15 lbs and has no skin disease. He's a very cute male -- about 14 weeks old and looks like a shep spaniel mix.

CARLEYCarley was found by Carol Priest at the Circle Pines garbage dump with a little red collar. She surely would have died by now had Carol not found her. She is precious. Carley had mange and is nearly bald, but is not contagious at this time.
CARLEY & JOHNNYThese 2 little darlings were found separately but became fast friends. Johnny is a little mangy shep male, already neutered. They are a very nice pair that could use a foster home -- They are driving me bananas in the cathouse and are too hairless to go outdoors.

KIABeautiful Kia was surrendered at the clinic. She came in starving, but is gaining by leaps and bounds. She is the sweetest dog ever. Don't let her large size intimidate you -- she is a little lamb. She has been spayed, vaccinated, and is heartworm negative, but Ananplasmosis and lymes pos. Has some infection in mouth due too old quills- a real wonderful dog!!

MS PEPPERMs Pepper has been spayed, vaccinated and is heartworm neg. She is an alpha female who walks well on a leash. She does not pee or poop in kennel- but holds herself until am and pm chores. She had a bite mark on her back on arrival, but that is healing nicely.

Please contact Karen or animalrescue@redlakerosie.org if you can help.
