John transports food up and animals down

On December 7th, John drove up a trailer and truckload of food that he picked up from Eric of The Shed and also from DeeDee courtesy of Chuck & Don's Pet Food Outlet to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue.

The load was about 3000 lbs according to John's estimate.

It was so great that John found time the previous day to collect the food, mostly dog kibble and drive all the way to RLRR the very next day with the load of needed food.

We had the help of Kevin and Riley to unload and put in the storage barn.

On the way back to the metro John had 3 dogs with broken legs, puppies and kittens. A total of 13 were sqeezed in the cab of hs pickup!

Dr. Vickie of Act IV took 2 broken legs including Cardew and Shyla, and Mn Pitbull Rescue took Blue with a broken foot.

Zoey rode shotgun with John and Cisco.

Red Lake animals appreciate the food donations. The Shed and Chuck and Don's donate most of the food which supplies the animals at the shelter as well as many community animals through clinics and the food shelf.

Thank you John for the persistance in getting the food and delivering as well as getting the many needy animals on to rescues. And, Thank you Kevin for your help in unloading and stacking the food.

Riley

Riley was a surrender at the October clinic and went with Sarah to the metro in the care of Luv Me Again Rescue. See the great update and pics. Karen

Hi Karen, just wanted to update you that Riley was adopted today to a nice family with a little boy that couldn't wait to get Riley home so they could watch TV and cuddle.

He is such a nice dog. He and my puppy shared lots of cuddles as you can see! Thank you so much for letting him come my way :)

Puppy hug

A lady from Red Lake called to have a litter of puppies and their mama removed. Carol and Karen went to the residence and found Loris and her litter of 6 tiny pups. Loris was very malnourished and dehydrated.

It went well for 2 days, and then on day 3 mama Loris disappeared from the shelter. Her 6 puppies lapped milk and thrived until the following Saturday when they were tranported to Cass Lake where the puppy roundup was being held. Dr. Vickie of Act V was at the roundup and took the 6 puppies and they are now in foster care.

BEN (male) is the biggest pup.

CHESS (male) has cute white toes.

JUNIOR (male) is the smallest boy.

KATE (female) is the smallest and quietest. She follows her brothers around.

REAGAN (male) is buddies with Kate. He's one of the biggest boys.

RILEY (male) How cute is he??

Searches for Loris have been unsuccessful. Food and water is placed on the periphery of the shelter hoping that she would be in the area and maybe come back.

I am happy that the puppies are in good hands and continue to hold out hope for Loris.

Sincerely, Karen

ONE LAST LOOK AT THE SWEET PUPPIES WITH ONE HUGGING THE OTHER!

I love BEFORE and AFTER pics. Don't you?!

UPDATE: Sweet Andy (now called Riley) is still looking for a home. People are put off by his underbite, apparently, I think it gives him a cheesy grin ;-) Don't overlook this darling dog; he is in RLRR foster care.

ANDY BEFOREANDY goes to RLRR foster home. He is such a great guy. He loves sitting in cars!!

ANDY AFTERAndy is ready to go home

Thanks Jodi!
