Just Arrived!

In mid October, 2009 Red Lake Rosie's volunteers found Moneya and her litter at a house in Redby, Minnesota. (Moneya and the female pups Roxy, Zoey, and Lydia are in need of rescue foster homes.) The people who lived at the house had accidently driven over one of the puppy's mouth and it appeared it had a broken jaw. The mother, Moneya was malnourished and her puppies were hungry. Their hair was sparse and they itched due to mange mites. They had no shelter and wandered around a yard near a highway with no fence. The people would not give up any, not even the poor little injured pup!

Two weeks passed and Moneya and her family got more hungry and left
their home, and went looking for food. Now they were homeless and
walking around from place to place in hopes of finding something to eat. By this time there were only 4 pups and Moneya.

One of the social programs contacted Red Lake Rosie's and they were able to take Moneya and her four kids.

A day later and a call came that another of Moneya's pups was also
found near death, our little black and white Lydia. So, they then returned her to her family. Lydia was skin and bone and needed to had special feedings and nearly died.

The whole family has been on an antiparasitic, which killed the mange
Mites and they are regrowing hair and gaining weight. The pups were
weaned from their mama and Moneya has since been spayed, and has
gotten her shots. She is positive for Lymes and Anaplasmosis and is
currently taking antibiotics.

Akin Animal Hospital took out 2 males on their last visit, leaving
Lydia, Roxy, and Zoey with Moneya at the Red Lake Rosie's shelter.

With winter fully arrived (last night was -12 below actual temperature) they are anxious to help the rest of the family get to foster care. RLR only has outdoor housing available at this time, so these poor pups are sleeping outside in dog houses. MARS has stepped in to help and is seeking foster homes so we are able to bring these poor dogs in to our rescue.

They are wonderful, lovely, well socialized and are so happy to be
eating and getting better.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
