What Is RescueWire?

RescueWire was conceived when a need was recognized for a centralized source of news and resources in the world of animal rescue. A common ground for rescues and their advocates to discuss issues big and small related to the work performed by volunteers and passionate animal lovers each day.

Our mission is to be an information hub for animal rescue and welfare organizations and their volunteers, providing a central source of knowledge and education while being mindful of the various methods and missions of animal rescue efforts nationwide.

RW EXCLUSIVE - Red Lake Reservation Spay/Neuter Clinic - Part 2

PART TWO 

When we arrived at the clinic, we pulled our vehicle through the large garage door and parked on the far end of the warehouse.  Within moments of fetching our knee pads and gloves from the back of the SUV, we were being introduced to the team we’d be working with over the weekend.  One vet and a couple of vet techs were already performing surgery.  Others were opening bins full of towels and food bowls, and taking inventory.  A few were setting up the food in the kitchen, while other new arrivals were staking out their sleeping quarters.

Guest Griller Fundraising Event!

Bring your appetites!  On Sunday, December 11, RescueWire will be taking over the grill at bd's Mongolian Grill in Burnsville!  This guest griller event is our first big fundraiser, and we hope you can join us.  The funds raised at this event will be directly re-invested in the organization - allowing us to build our course offerings, complete our 501c3 submission (finally!), and add new opportunities for rescues and fosters (we're currently looking into training scholarship opportunities for rescues and fosters who have especially hard training cases).  

Feral Cat Shelters - Make Your Own! (UPDATE! Donate to Help Us Build Shelters!)

Winter is fast approaching (and if you're in Minnesota, it already feels like it's here!).  Keep your feral cat communities safe and warm this winter with these great shelter ideas posted by PACT Human Society from Downers Grove, IL.  Many of these ideas have gone "viral" over the last few weeks, featured on blogs and Facebook posts nationwide.  If you are looking for a way to help animals in your area this winter, think about donating supplies or funds to local organizations that support feral colonies.

RW EXCLUSIVE: Red Lake Reservation Spay/Neuter Clinic

PART ONE
 
In mid-October, RescueWire had an opportunity to volunteer with a group performing a spay and neuter clinic on the Red Lake Reservation in Redby, MN.  The clinic, run by Akin Hills Veterinary Hospital out of Farmington, MN, was supported by Animal Ark and about 20 other volunteers both independent and affiliated with other rescues.  One of the RescueWire board members had volunteered at past clinics, and encouraged us to join her.  It was a moving and educational experience.  As we want to communicate the full nature of the clinic and our experience, we will break this story up into multiple features for easier digestion.
