Ahnung & Legacy enjoying our Indian summer

Marilou of Pet Haven and MnPaw adopted Ahnung from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and recently fostered a sickly puppy named Legacy from Leech Lake reservation.



No one was too surprised to hear that Legacy will join Marilou's family permanently :-)

TLC pups all grown up

We have had regular updates on these shepherd mix pups from the time TLC took them in from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue until now when they are all adopted out and grown up.

ROCCO & VON PUPSROCCO NOWVON NOWTLC recently sent out an assortment of puppy and adult photos to all the adopters:

FOUR PUPS AT RLRRHere is the what they looked like when we got Buffy, Von, Dixie and Rocco. I thought you would all like a BABY picture to remember or look back on how small they once were.

ROCCO & DIXIE PUPSThank you all for the updated pictures! I love seeing them and how big they grew up to be and how handsome/beautiful and wonderful they are.

DIXIE PUPDIXIE NOWKaren and DeeDee-- these are the wonderful little ones that you all saved and sent to us to find their forever families.

BUFFY & NEW SISTER KIRAThank you and Dog Bless,

Elsa is happy now

Elsa was a mangy and very hungry pom that came to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue as a surrender at the August clinic. There is not too much demand for a mangy pom, but ARVSS took little Elsa and gave her a chance. Now she has a wonderful home!
Karen :)

ELSA BEFOREFROM ADOPTERS:
Update! Things are going pretty well with Elsa (not totally decided on her name yet, but right now it's Pepper Ann). She and my Aussie are doing great together - check out the video of them playing!



She is into everything! Cat toys, dog toys, slippers, dirty laundry . .
and she's fast! My cat is not thrilled, but it's improving day by day. So I guess so far so good!

Leroy's life

WINDBLOWNLeroy came to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue from a life on a chain with a huge tumor growing on his rear flank. He had his initial surgery up north. The tumor weighed eight pounds (!), but was benign and has not regrown. See the first blog post about him.

OUTDOORSYHe moved down to the Cities where Act V made some improvements to his surgical site and his health was renewed. He has been adopted by a fellow who is a perfect match and Leroy can't stop smiling.

JOYFULUPDATE FROM ADOPTER:
I just wanted to give you an update on Leroy. It just gets better. This is the happiest dog I have ever seen.

SUNNYWe moved out to the country where he has a corn field in the back yard and a lake in the front. Lots of windows to scope out squirels and rabbits during the day. He doesn't need to be chained anymore.

PLAYFULHe runs around a big lot and occasionally into the corn field after an irresistable rabbit. I got a collar that beeps so I can find him when this happens. We still go for walks every morning no matter what the weather, but he is good to go for the rest of the day, so it's worth it.

SILLYThe night time walks have so far been replaced with boat rides. I mention "wanna go for a boat ride" and he's doing back flips, runs like a lightning bolt down to the boat and does a 5' leap into the boat. It's like the dog can fly.

HANDSOMEHe has a lot of dog friends in the neighborhood and has become very socialized. Everyone in the neighborhood loves him. Thank you for rescuing this incredible dog.

SEXYWhen introduced to his new vet, they looked at him and said, "get ready for a good life"!!

COMFYThanks again,
Chris

You lookin' at me??

A nice lady named Nicole from Elk River was in Red Lake recently and found 2 little puppies wandering the roads. She called Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and I told her how full we were - so - she took the two little puppies with her to Elk River.

She stopped at RLRR shelter and the little pups got wormer, lst parvo shots, and flea and tick application. Here is Nicole's update:

RINGO & RIOHi Karen,
Just wanted to let you know how great the puppies are doing! Tomorrow, Ringo goes to his new home, and I am keeping Rio. They are both thriving, and they are truly the most remarkable puppies I have ever seen.

I take pictures nonstop, and I'm partnering with the local Chuck and Don's to bring more awareness for your rescue, so they are allowing me to post the photos I took up there and of the rescue pups I have and post them on the board so people can see for themselves what great things you are doing! I have some pictures attached for you... Ringo is the blue eyed guy, and Rio is the darker one.

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, I'm going to miss Ringo but he is going to such a great home, and will be the apple of the 10-year-old boy's eye. I am so happy to have gotten the chance to save these little guys, and it's truly an amazing thing what you do day in and day out. Thank you again, and I am working on getting some extra dog food for you guys up there, and anything I can do to help down here, get the word out, let me know.

Oh, and I am still hopeful that the pups mother will be able to be rescued and brought to your caring, loving place. When you get her, please let me know! It will put my mind at ease. God Bless you, Karen!

A Diamond in the rough: Sully

Meet Diamond-- now Sully. He is a little poodle mix who came to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and soon we noticed he was blind. He was so frightened and would cower whenever we came near him.

We thought Diamond was an old fellow, however, the vet aged him at 4 years old. We had Diamond's teeth cleaned and had him neutered.

We soon discovered Diamond was a great dog, walking well on a leash, and doing little dances for us.

We took Diamond to the clinic and Julie gave him a great haircut and bath. Thankfully he then went to Crystal's foster care and she dearly loves this boy.

Here's a pic of Diamond on arrival. A very sad little boy. No comparison to his demeanor now!!

Karen

CRYSTAL SAYS:
I couldn't think of a name for our little guy that felt right. I told my son he is so persevering and brave and he said "How about "Sully" for the persevering Ann Sullivan (Helen Keller's teacher) and the heroic airplane pilot named Sully.

He sleeps on the bed, walks on a leash, is totally housebroken, finds his way down the deck steps to go out to the fenced-in yard. He stands on his back legs and dances in a circle when he gets excited.

Affectionate, smart, sweet, brave and happy little guy -- whoever ends up adopting this little guy is truly going to be blessed.

Cheyenne Alicia loves her new home

ADOPTER UPDATE:
Just a quick note...we're all finally settled in after our long distance move from chilly, gray Minnesota to the warmer, deep, south and wanted to give an update on Cheyenne Alicia.

Cheyenne is doing well, even adjusting to the warmer weather. We bought her a kiddie wading pool, which she knew what to do with right away. We have 18 acres here with a fenced yard just around the house: She and Damon have loads of fun running around chasing, racing and wrestling with one another. She loves to keep an watchful eye on the cats when they're outside too. We also take them for walks around our property and Sunday rides with daddy on D,C and D day. She enjoys sticking her head out the window during the car ride.

She's doing well. She's fully bonded with all of us, especially to her canine brother, Damon and the cats. She has her special place at the foot of the bed with us and Damon. She still plays mommy to the cats. She's learned not to be too aggressive with Princess anymore, which makes Princess very happy and allows Cheyenne to spend time alongside her more often.

She and Damon are even closer and she is more comfortable with him after they spent time together alone when they were boarded two times just before we moved. Now when he drops down alongside her to cuddle up or just rest, she no longer runs away. She just learned how to walk on our wood floors off the carpet runners and is enjoying sniffing everything she couldn't get to before: everything is new.

Thanks again for all you do and for rescuing Cheyenne. She is a happy girl now and we intend to keep her that way.

Regards,
The S~ family
Princess, Charlie, Damon and Cheyenne
