Garbage pup no more: Yoda Moto

On March 20th, Avis, our faithful rescuer who watches the Redby garbage dump, found a litter of tiny pups huddled against the dumpster. They were beautiful little shepherds weighing about 4 lbs each. They were hungry and dehydrated and freezing.

Avis drove all the way to the shelter bringing the puppies. We thankfully had a transport on March 22nd, 2 days later- All Dog Rescue quickly agreed to take the litter into Linda's foster care.

Linda named them: Yogi, Yoda, Yannie, Yoko, Yanki.

We are thankful for Avis and other community people who watch for dumped animals, and also to the rescues who take the animals and transporters who make it all happen. Of course the generous financial support of many kindhearted people make it all possible.

A happy ending to what could have been a tragedy!

BIGGER PUP MOTO, FORMERLY YODA

NOTE FROM LINDA:

I heard from the adopter of Yoda, one of the garbage pups, now called Moto.

NOTE FROM ADOPTER:
He is happy and we just love him.  He is a good puppy.  Doesn't bark too much and sometimes I think he is hard of hearing - haha!   Just being a puppy I guess.  Thanks again for bringing him into our family.

Merry Christmas from Yoda

Yoda is a beautiful white shepherd mix that came to the shelter two times. He was first surrendered in October 2012 after the clinic, and then the owners changed their minds and came and got him the day before he was to be transferred.

We heard nothing about Yoda until nearly 10 months later when he was transported to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue once again to be surrendered. The people who cared for him spent time in Washington State and so Yoda was just wandering around the reservation community and was in danger of being shot as a nuisance. 

Yoda spent only about 2 weeks at the RLRR shelter and fit in well. Then his big chance came for a new home.

Yoda's new family sent this lovely card and wrote: “Thank you so much for Yoda- we LOVE him!” It was wonderful news to hear after Yoda had been through so much insecurity the past 2 years. This made my day! Thank you to Yoda’s new family!

Beautiful butterfly indeed!

Hi Denise:

Stacey/Brillo/Yoda update

I was so pleased to get a positive update on the puppy, Stacey, presumed to be Stuart Little's little brother.

He was briefly known as Brillo, because his mangy gray skin and dry coppery hair looked unfortunately like a Brillo pad. (Check out his original blog post.)

His health, energy, and his looks are improving and so is his name. He is now known as Yoda.

UPDATE FROM ACT V:
Yoda is doing really well. He's growing and getting a fuzzy coat now. His ears are standing more than going to the side.

He's in a great foster home and getting lots of love and attention. What a trooper!
