Safe at Last: Rufus the Red Beagle
Poor Rufus--when he turned up at another shelter, he was a mess. There were bites from bigger dogs all over his hip and leg. The other shelter loved him, but they didn't have room, so Rufus's fate was uncertain. On Sunday, Rufus arrived at his Red Door foster home and, as you can see, he looks very happy.
Thanks to Mary Ann Hetreed for helping with Rufus's transportation.
Space to Roam
You might have read about Anka last February on the blog;she was rescued from living in a barn. Certainly, if you've visited Red Door in the past five months, you've noticed Anka. She was the big rabbit--all 12+ pounds--who was living in a pen in the office area. Even if we'd wanted to put her in a cage [which we didn't], she would never have fit.
We knew it would take a special person to fall in love with a big girl like Anka, someone who could appreciate the size and personality of a Flemish Giant--plus someone who had enough space for Anka to live a free-roaming life. We're happy to say that our wishes for Anka have been fulfilled. She was adopted last Saturday.
Above are photos of Anka in her new home. Finally, she says, a place big enough for my ears!

Don't Miss the Summer Spa-Di-Da Day July 21st
What? Miss Spa-Di-Da Day?? Winston wouldn't hear of it! Your rabbits, guinea pigs and cats won't want to be left out of the summer spiff-up on July 21st, either. You don't need a reservation--just come between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. Treats for humans and glamour photography for pets. 2410 W. Lunt, Chicago.
NOTE: If the temperature is over 90 degrees, please check with Red Door to be sure Spa Day is still being held. Since rabbits don't deal well with high temps, we need to keep an eye on the forecast.

What I Did On My Summer Vacation
Hi Everyone--
As you can see, when Red Door asked people to give a shelter animal a summer vacation, I really lucked out! Linda & Catherine Spitz are the best -- they give me rides in a stroller, and let me check out the produce daily (OK, I don't really eat all those apples!). I have some toys, a cardboard castle, and a lot of love and attention. I'm king of the world!

P.S.: Other animals at Red Door would like a summer vacation, too. Interested? Just send an email to info@reddoorshelter.org to learn how you give a shelter animal a break.
