Act V Rescue & Rehabilitation
Friends of Flicka is pleased to announce that the 2010 recipient of the Kodiak Award is Act V Rescue & Rehabilitation of Bloomington, Minnesota. This annual award is given to a charitable organization or individual whose efforts on behalf of abused of abandoned animals are deserving of special recognition and aid.
Act V Rescue & Rehabilitation is a non-profit, foster-based organization dedicated to taking in and thoughtfully re-homing the most unwanted and neglected animals. Since Act V’s founders include veterinary professionals, it is uniquely qualified to treat the specific challenges presented by this group of sick, injured and emotionally neglected animals.
Former recipient of the Kodiak Award, Karen Good of Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue, shared the following thoughts about her experiences with Act V:
“Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue, Inc. wishes to commend Dr. Vickie Schulz and Act V Rescue for the selfless service to the injured and suffering Red Lake dogs and cats.
In 2010 Act V took in 36 dogs and cats from Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue of which almost all had severe orthopedic and other major medical needs including broken legs, heartworm, parvo, intestinal blockage, neonatal pups, puppy strangles, and others suffering advanced malnutrition and digestive problems.
We relied on Act V and contacted them whenever sick and injured animals arrive at the shelter. They always responded and never turned us down.
We are so happy to give this reference to one of the best and kindest vets we know. She has compassion and will even overextend herself to help the animals. Thank you from all the Red Lake animals.”
Friends of Flicka Executive Director Denise Luke added, “On behalf of our Board of Directors, we are honored to contribute to the work of Act V Rescue & Rehabilitation, and recognize the extraordinary care and compassion of the Act V team for needy animals, including the puppies pictured on Flickr. Congratulations to Act V Rescue & Rehabilitation!
