Section 1:
Last Chance For Life Pets
Many rural shelters do not have the necessary staff or funding to provide adequate space, medical care and adoption capability for the number of animals they receive. Saving highly adoptable companion animals that are to be euthanized in such shelters is R.E.D.'s top priority. We also assist ownerless adoptable companion animals, which are in high-risk situations due to no fault of their own, and medically needy adoptable companion animals. R.E.D. Alert, publicizes the plight of such animals and searches for alternate rescue solutions via the internet. This is often the last chance they have at life.

If you would like to adopt or save an animal presently on R.E.D. Alert, please read the instructions on the animal's profile and act quickly. Time is running out, so making the correct contact quickly is critical.

INJURED BABY NEEDS YOUR HELP! FINANCIAL SPONSORS FOR 4 MONTH OLD TOMMY 

The plight of a young puppy whose name was .06 came to our attention from the plea of a vet tech. This puppy arrived at a vet clinic with a homeless person. The dog had been stepped on and his leg was broken.The pup was also unvaccinated and covered in fleas. His homeless owner knew she could not help him so agreed to let him find a new path in life with RED.  RED stepped into action and got him set up with foster care and transport to a vet that can repair his leg. He has a fractured Tibia which will require a plate and several surgeries. He arrived safely this morning at our vets to get the care he needs to save his life and leg. We urgently need donations for his supportive care and vet care. We have renamed him Tommy. Tommy's life story would have ended much differently had RED been unable to say," Yes we can save him."  PLEASE EMAIL TIAMI OR CALL THE OFFICE IF YOU CAN HELP SPONSOR THIS PUPPY.

UPDATE PICTURE 12-23-08

Tommy is doing really well. Here is his newest picture getting warm by the wood stove in his fabulous foster home. He is less than thrilled with the cast but is still a happy boy. Thanks to his vet care and wonderful foster parents! We need sponsors to help pay for his care. Please, allow us to continue making saves like this one.

PLEASE EMAIL TIAMI OR CALL THE OFFICE IF YOU CAN HELP SPONSOR THIS PUPPY.

GRACIE INJURED KING CHARLES CAVALIER SPANIEL NEEDS YOUR HELP! FINANCIAL SPONSORS FOR SWEET GRACIE.

This little girl was brought to a vet clinic by owners who were unable to pay to treat a severe spinal injury she had received. The vet quickly called R.E.D. and asked us to save this dog's life. She has a spinal injury and a severed tail.  Gracie is currently recovering in foster care. She needs surgery to remove the tail she can no longer move because the tail bone is severed from her spinal cord. The tail also took with it her last spinal vertebra. This affects her bladder and shows some weakness in her rear end but it is improving with supportive care, medications and time. She has made great progress and is a happy girl. She still has a long way go and needs your help and support to allow her the time and treatment she need. Gracie's joy for life is amazing and a gift for all of us that have gotten to know her. Gracie is currently a RED medical sanctuary dog and needs sponsors!//UPDATE 1-19-09: Gracie is doing well and is happy. She will have surgery as soon as she has gained more control of her back end. She is currently having physical therapy and lots of love! She has made huge progress!

GENTLE CASEY THE COONHOUND NEEDS HELP! 

    

This picture is of Casey the day before R.E.D. rushed to his rescue. Thank you Tiffany and Vilas and Alison for helping rescue this sweet coonhound. Casey's path to RED began when he was found in a remote area of Lacey by a nice person that instantly took action to help him and took him the the shelter in that area. Sadly, that shelter did not have the ability to help Casey with his medical needs. So, the person that found him together with the shelter asked R.E.D. to help. 

How Casey came to be so far from people is unknown.  But what is clear is he has lived a hard sad life. With your help we hope to get Casey the help he needs to live life to it's fullest. Casey was nearly starved to death and has a serious leg injury that was never treated and has healed incorrectly. He also has some lumps that are infected and need to be removed. He is gentle soul that loves people. He is kind to other dogs and has a lovely gentle tail wag when he meets a new friend. Casey has been seen by a vet and he appears to be about 8 years old. He had a blood panel done and all looks good there. He had his shoulder injury cleaned and is on antibiotics. He also had a x-ray done on his leg and it is an old injury that no one had treated. Casey bravely walks on this leg but ultimately it needs an orthopedic surgeon to pin the leg so is is stable.

UPDATE: Here is a picture of Casey enjoying a day in the fall sunshine!

UPDATE PICTURE: Here is Casey with his foster home resident friend Mesha snuggling. Mesha is also a Black and Tan Coon Hound. They hang out and enjoy each others company.

THIS DOG HAS MANY YEARS LEFT TO LIVE IF WE ALL JOIN TOGETHER WE CAN GIVE HIM THE CHANCE TO RUN AND STAND PAIN FREE AGAIN. PLEASE MAKE A DONATION TO HELP CASEY

UNCLE BURT NEEDS KNEE SURGERY

Uncle Burt has earned his name at R.E.D. because of his love for puppies. He is so happy to show little ones about and to play gently with them He is tolerant and loving with all puppies. We have found this nurturing personality to be rare and extremely endearing. He has helped raise many many puppies that had no parental guide. So for this we are thankful.

Uncle Burt is a product of the designer dog breeding disaster. People mixing breeds of purebreds that were never meant to be bred together. People with little regard for the lives they create. Profit is the main drive in this new trend. We see there to many dogs like Burt that are born with physical issues. Burt is a pug and terrier cross. He was born with deformed dislocated knees. These knees need to be corrected to give Burt the best since at a long comfortable life. Burt had some handling issues when he arrived at R.E.D. foster care so we first resolved those issue so he could be a good patient during his recovery. He gets around alright but we can see long term this is going to be an issue for him. After the rescue service this kind little pug mix has given to so many orphaned pups in need we feel he should have his chance to get his needed surgery. Please help us give Burt the life and surgery he so deserves.

PLEASE BE BURT'S CHANCE AT A NEW LIFE MAKE A SPONSOR DONATION FOR HIM!

TONKA IS SAFE AND WORKING ON GETTING BETTER.

March: Tonka is doing well and has had his feet trimmed. He has had his vet assessment and has a shoulder injury that has healed incorrectly and has affected many other parts of him. His hip and other shoulder are out of alignment from compensating for the injured front shoulder. His jaw was also partially dislocated. He had chiropractic and acupuncture treatments last week and did really well. His jaw was aligned and he yawned and yawned. Finally able to eat and yawn pain free for the first time in a very long time.  On his leg. Before treatment he was dragging his foot and after he could trot with his foot elevated. He had a little happy trot around the field! He will need more treatments to continue to improve. At this point he is a big pasture pet that is a joy to be with. With lots of care and love he will be a more sound horse. His next vet visit will be on the 14th of March. He will have another chiropractic adjustment, acupuncture and a dental floatation. Everyone that meets him is so happy he is alive and well. He is gentle and kind. He loves his treats and his night time dinner. Yum!  He loves children, being brushed, being petted and has been a sweet R.E.D. ambassador. // UPDATE: 4-21-08 Tonka is doing well. He is is hanging with his horse buddies Taylor and Sunny. He loves to nap with the boys. It is funny usually one horse in a herd will stand watch but not these boys. Everybody is snoozing in the sun He has learned new things like waiting politely to enter his stall and exit his stall. He loves his stall and can hardly wait to go to bed at night and eat his goodies. His new friend the farrier will be here next week to do his hooves again. He is on some great supplements to help with his joints and healing and he has shown improvement on his leg and will be seen again by the vet for another adjustment in about 3 weeks.  So, we wait for time and care to heal him and hopefully he will continue to leave his leg issues behind. UPDATE: 5-3-08 Tonka got his feet done and his hoof shape is much improved as he is using more equal pressure and he has had several on time hoof trims now. UPDATE: 5-7-08 Thank you, Superior Pet Foods, of Poulsbo for donating joint supplements for Tonka !!!UPDATE: 7-10-08 Tonka is still improving and at times appears to stand normally. Though he will probably never be a riding horse again. However, he is an awesome equine buddy and has personality plus. He has become the more dominant of the horses here so he is really feeling way better than when he came. Farrier reports his hooves now look awesome! So complete success on hoof recovery and reshaping. He is pretty sassy now and sweet Tonka is a Happy Horse! UPDATE: 10-22-08 TONKA IS DOING WELL AND IS READY FOR ANOTHER DENTAL REALIGNMENT. PLEASE HELP SPONSOR THIS KIND BOY. UPDATE: 12-22-08 WE COULD USED DONATIONS OF/FOR BEDDING BALES AND GRASS HAY! WE ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR HELP/DONATIONS ON HORSE HOUSING/SHELTERS AND THE COSTS FOR PUTTING THEM IN. .

UPDATE PICTURE: 12-23-08 HERE IS TONKA AND HIS HORSE FRIENDS.

Shelter, care, bedding, hay and feed and hoof care and all his medical bills heve been paid for by the following sponsors. Special Thanks to Hazel B., Tiami, Ray C., Mike P. and Shayla P. for helping him with a sponsorship. Thank you, Melissa B and Ray C. for you help with Tonka on vacation care.

More R.E.D. Tonka Financial Sponsors are needed for his ongoing care and treatments.

R.E.D. FOREVER HOME.

YOU CAN SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIVES.

 

Dear Animal Advocates,

 

Please, we invite you to help us meet this rescue challenge that is rising before us. We are looking at expanding to a location which will provide a larger indoor facility in addition to our foster home network and existing location. We will be able to provide more animals in need a place to recover emotionally and physically. Pledges will not be collected until we meet our new location financial goal or if the pledge donor wishes they may donate now to R.E.D. in general even if our building goal is not met. R.E.D. is a long standing, well run, fiscally sound, 501 C3 Non Profit Corporation that will finally have a R.E.D. owned location that can be counted on for the long haul. Please, be a part of this gift to our communities and animals in need. Your donation of any amount though time could save thousands of lives and shall leave a living legacy. This rescue dedicated facility will mean life for countless lives in need.

 

Together we can heal the hearts of people and the lives of wonderful pets in need.

The current challenges we face in our communities financially have brought to R.E.D. more urgent need. The people and animals that need our help have increased and we want to meet those needs. Please, keep R.E.D.'s ability to say, "Yes we can help you." to those who call upon us. Saving hearts minds and lives is our mission.

 

Our goal is to make sure RED's environment will be homey and very effective in assisting the animals we most frequently help to foster care and then are adopted to new homes. Many need medical rehabilitation for a period of time or they are animal that need to acquire some skills to become confident loving family members. Our goal is to give these animals the time and care they need to recover and learn to love and trust again. Culminating in R.E.D.'s ultimate goal for each life that comes into our care, "Joining their forever adoptive families." This will give us the space to have more volunteers involved and the tools we need to help the people and animals that comes to us each day.  R.E.D. will welcome any pledge amount for this effort. Every pledge will move us forward to saving more lives. This amount is achievable together.

UPDATE ON BJORN!

Bjorn say "What makes you think I am a stinking elf??!!"....grin

   

Here is another Update on Bjorn from Ute his adoptive mom!

Hi ,
here are some photos. Looks like he though he was in trouble when I took the
pictures inside the car - he will lay down but he always has to touch me
when in the car with me :-) It also looks like the kids have worked out an
understanding and are much more comfortable with each other. He licked
Aslan's nose several times the other day :-)


UPDATE PICTURE OF GEORGIA AND HER NEW BACK PACK!


UPDATE ON STRUDEL AND HENRY!

Thought you  might be interested in how the dogs were doing.  H & S seem to be settling in nicely.  They have been calm and well behaved from the start.  We took them for a walk on that first Saturday and I must say they were dragging a bit after the first mile. We have been gradually increasing the distance we take them and with the nice weather we've been going out twice a day. It hasn't taken them long to get into the walking routine and I think they may have slimmed just a bit from the extra exercise. They get very excited when they see the leashes and I'm not sure how we'll explain it to them when the weather turns really bad and we aren't going to want to take those hour-long walks in the pouring rain at 5 am! In the last couple of days they have even started playing - Henry plays more with toys but both Henry and Strudel have gotten into some chase/wrestling games together. 

 
This past weekend was a busy one.  We took them to be groomed on Saturday - they were unhappy about being left but the groomer said they were both well behaved.  They came out smelling great and looking a lot more like Schnauzers.  Saturday evening we had a family birthday party for my grandson so there was a lot of people and activity around the house. The dogs handed the extra people and noise well and were patient with the grandkids.  
 
They are both attention sponges.  I can hold Strudel in my arms like a baby and rock her.  She seems content to just lie there and take the tummy rubs.  Henry is the same when it comes to soaking up the petting.  They are delightful companions and I am so happy that we have them. I think they are happy in their new home as well.
 
I'm attaching two snaps.  The "before" shot is in front of our house. I think Henry looks a lot like Grommit (from the British cartoon characters Wallace and Grommit). The "after" shot was taken this evening in our kitchen.  They look a little intense since they're begging for food.
 
Thanks again for working with us on this adoption, particularly all the extra time you put in on your days off.

CONGRADULATIONS BRISTOL AND TAKE A BOW. YOU ARE AN AMAZING BOY!

Hi Tiami and everyone,
 
I wanted to share Bristol's accomplishment with you all.  He took his Canine Good Citizen Test this morning and successfully passed all 10 requirements.  I am so proud of this sweet boy!  It all began in his first home with you and I thank you for allowing me to give him his forever home.  Bristol and I will be moving on to work for Therapy Dogs International sharing his good manners and sweet disposition with people who really need a daily dose of love.
 
Thanks for doing what you do and keep up the good work.
 
Love and licklicklicklick from Bristol.
 
Fondly,
Lynn K. and Bristol
