The Red Lake Housing was remodeling a vacant home in Redby, and a call came that when the people moved they left behind Laser, Sammy, and a litter of puppies. The whole family was hungry, infected with mange and had no means of support.
NOLA & NELLA
Carol and I dropped food and on first visit were able to catch 2 puppies. We were told one had died the night before we arrived. We named the puppies Nola and Nella. Sammy and Laser were too shy to be caught at that time, so we would dump food and dose the food with ivermectin so we could get a start on the healing of the mange.
NOLA & NELLA
Nola and Nella spent about 3 weeks getting good food and mange treatment. Both developed rickets on the front legs, but responded well to treatment.
We continued to drop medicated food for Sammy and Laser in the weeks to follow.
On March 3rd during the Akin clinic, Carol and Nate went out and were able to catch both Sammy and Laser. What a happy day! We now had the entire family in our care.
SAMMY
Both Sammy and Laser got over their fear and recovered nicely, both were altered and all have moved on.
LASER
Laser went to Tricounty and has been adopted and the two surviving pups, Nola and Nella went to Twin City Pet Rescue. Sammy was the last to leave on 25th enroute to Second hand Dogs in Claremont where many of our shepherds go.
We don't often get this lucky, but are so happy with the outcome. A special thank you to Carol and Nate for getting the most difficult ones!
Karen
Thanks to our faithful Red Lake Rosie's Rescue volunteers from the metro, Mike, Nate, Heidi and Barbie, 15 animals left on Sunday morning on two transports.
HUG AND A KISS
Mike and Nate took 4 puppies and 2 cats enroute to Twin City Pet Rescue and Karen met Barbie in Bemidji with 9 dogs and puppies enroute to All Dog, Pet Haven and MUSHR.
BARBIE
NATE & ASTRA
Heidi headed off to Leech Lake to meet the O'Sullivans with the Bemidji Pound animals, and load up the Leech Lake Pound animals enroute to AHS.
DONATED FOOD
A large load of dog and cat kibble donated by Chuck and Don's with the help of DeeDee was transported by Barbie to Bemidji. RLRR animals are so happy to see the kibble as we were almost out of dog food!
CATORI & ASTRA SAY GOODBYE
We said our goodbyes to Astra and Catori who had been at the shelter for a long while. Both animals transformed from starving mangey lifeless animals to very beautiful creatures.
SILVER & SAFFIRE
Silver and Saffire, two semi feral puppies went to MUSHR.
