Happy New Year, Tehya!

A very nice lady recently made a donation during our Holiday Match Campaign.  Many of our donors have Red Lake dogs or cats as a part of their family.  When a thank you note was sent, she replied:

"The work RLRR does is so important, I wish I could give more. I am attaching a couple photos of our dog Tehya. She was found in a garbage dumpster with her litter mates on the reservation. They were rescued and adopted in May of 2009. Tehya is very spoiled but we try to remind her where she came from. Thank you again for all you do. 

Sincerely, J~"

Fowl friends find a home before foul weather

One day an unusual call came to RLRR shelter- Would we take two ducks and a chicken? Well, of course we never say “no” so began our adventure with Drake, Ducky Doodle and Henny Penny. The owner had bought the chick and ducklings at the Fleet Farm and had taken great care of them through the summer. But now it was fall and there was no way to shelter them so they called on us.

DRAKE

We first were able to catch Drake, but then the other two were wise to our plan and evaded us. Kathryn and Karen stopped over that evening and Kathryn was able to catch Ducky Doodle who was the most difficult, dodging us in bushes, and was a fast runner.

DUCKY DOODLE

The owner said that Henny Penny was raised with the ducks and thought she was a duck, so separating them was not an option. Also, we did not want them to end up on any Thanksgiving dinner table so we wanted them to go together to a hobby farm. Jenny Fitzer found just such a home and the threesome left on Sunday, November 13th for the new home.

HENNY PENNY

These photos show them being introduced to their new home. The white rooster, Coyote, is the boss of the chickens. He had to come over and assert his dominance over Henny Penny right away. After a couple of minutes, all was settled and he accepted her into his domain.

The second-in-command rooster came over afterwards to try to make nice, but Henny Penny was more interested in going with her duck friends to meet the ducks from earlier this summer :-)

RLRR cats send Thanks to Feline Rescue!

For years now, Red Lake Rosie's Rescue has been able to send rescued cats and kittens to Feline Rescue in the Twin Cities for care in foster homes or at their shelter until they find forever homes.

Here are five cats making the trip on New Years Eve!

HELP NEEDED for Holiday mailing: Sat., Dec. 3

Friends of Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue Needs You!

We will be having a gathering on Saturday, December 3^rd from 2pm-5pm at the Library in Maplewood, sorry Roseville Library was booked!

We need your help to get our Christmas mailing stuffed, addressed, and stamped.  This is our largest fundraiser each year.  We know the holidays are a hectic time of year, so we greatly appreciate your time to help fund our rescue mission for another year.  There is a small café in the library, where you may purchase beverages and some sweets.  Anyone interested in going out to dinner following the stuffing gathering is more than welcome to do so.

 

There will be sign-ups for various activities throughout the year plus we are looking for volunteers willing to coordinate and volunteer for subcommittees: Events: assisting at events by manning tables,  Shelter Volunteers: we need a volunteer coordinator to facilitate scheduling volunteers to help Karen at the shelter, Education: a team to coordinate collections for clinic education and giveaways (such as flea and tick preventative drive, grooming supplies drive, hay and shelter drive, etc), Social Events (we need a better name): a team to schedule gatherings of RLRR placements and their forever families, and any other awesome rescue support activity you can think of.

Maplewood Pubic Library is located at 3025 Southlawn Dr, Maplewood, MN 55109

How much is $10,000 bowls of food??

Karen Good was named a Halo Shelter Hero by Bark Magazine!

In addition to the great article, Red Lake Rosie's Rescue received 10,000 bowls of food! We really didn't know how much that would be, but when we picked up the load, we had 3 pallets of Halo dog and cat food!! It filled up our cargo van with good quality kibble which is needed to help so many animals here.

Little Jackie was a surrender at the clinic who came in very hungry. Jackie and others like her will benefit from 10,000 bowls of Halo food!  She has been happily eating it at the shelter!

We have lots of cats at the shelter now and they are very grateful for the food, too.

In addition, we are able to supply food for the animals of community members.

Many, many thanks to Bark Magazine and Halo pet food AND to the mystery person who nominated Karen and Red Lake Rosie's Rescue for this wonderful honor and donation!!!

Give to the Max to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue TOMORROW NOV. 17!
