Update on Red Lake dog Nitro/Remi

Foster caregiver extraordinaire, Linda Ratay, shared this wonderful update with us.

Hi Linda,

This is Jenna ~, I adopted Remi (renamed from Nitro) from All Dog Rescue/Red Lake Rosie's Rescue back in December. I've been wanting to send you updates, but haven't until now! Remi is doing so great!! I am so lucky that he is part of my life.

Remi adjusted well after I adopted him. He had a little bit of a hard time understanding he was supposed/allowed to go to the bathroom outside, but once he understood he was potty trained very quickly! He was very timid as a baby and serious, but loved to be close and snuggle. Walks took him a bit of getting used to (but now he looks forward to them and loves exploring). Remi is such a smart dog so he learned things very quickly. He graduated from obedience class which he did very well in (although loved to bark during to make sure he was heard). He did go through quite the sassy phase where he didn't like to listen all the time and thought my hands were there to play with (even after teething), but luckily that's over. :)

Remi has quite the personality. He is such a talker!/grumbler/whiner. He is very goofy and is such a character with an (cute) attitude. Remi is such a snuggler and loves to be close. He also LOVES belly scratches, rolling over on his back whenever I walk by to signal what he wants. Remi has long legs, a very long tail, and a skinny body! I think he's the cutest:) He easily convinced me to let him sleep with me at night where he's always right next to me and crawls up to me with a wagging tail to cuddle in the morning when my alarm goes off (he makes it very difficult to get out of bed). He gives me so much love! Remi is a very happy dog and behaves so well now. His favorite thing to do is chase the frisbee, until he gets lazy and just wants to lay in the sun and chew sticks.

Thank you so much for taking care of my sweet boy before I adopted him. Every time I look at him I'm reminded how grateful I am to have him. He was lucky to have you take care of him and his litter! I'm so sorry if this email was too long and too much information, I'm overly obsessed with Remi:)

Thanks again!
Jenna

Rocco & Remi

Here are two more sheps from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue that were fostered and adopted out by TLC Canine Rescue- Remi and Rocco.

TLC Writes:

These two gorgeous pups were adopted out awhile ago to two different families. They came to see us at Petco one Saturday and it was awesome to see them.

Thank you Rocco and Remi for coming to see us and to their parents for bringing the both.

RLRR cat finds her forever home

RLRR tortie cat Maria was taken in by Pet Haven and given the new name of Remi. Today we got a wonderful update on her.
Remi is doing very well in her new home. And older couple visited two of our adoption events and were looking for a companion for the gentleman who has more health problems and doesn't go out as much as his wife does. One of their daughters lives with them and the son and daughter-in-law brought them to both adoptions to look. Their daughter loves her to pieces and the son/wife are also cat people.

Remi has been there a week and likes to be in the den with the man and is on his lap some of the time, loves to look out the bank of windows in that room and they are going to get her a cat 'tree' so she has good viewing of the birdfeeders and wildlife. She spends some time in the living room also which is the center of the house so she can keep track of where everyone is. She doesn't have a new name yet, the man calls 'Kitty, kitty' and she responds.
