Santa photo fundraiser a big success!

Santa and Ahnung (a rescue from Red Lake Reservation)

Leech Lake Legacy's first Santa photo fundraiser on Saturday, December 8th was a huge success! We had a big turnout and are extremely grateful to everyone who came out to have photos taken with Santa with their furkids.

A special thanks to photographer Ryan Siemers of Capture M.O.R. for donating his time and talent to help the animals of Leech Lake Reservation. And many thanks also to Ark Pet Hospital in New Brighton for hosting our Santa photo fundraiser and for your incredible hospitality! In total we raised $650, all of which will go towards our efforts to help the animals of Leech Lake Reservation. In total we had 49 dogs and 4 cats come to have their photo taken with Santa.

A huge thanks also to Santa :)

Here are just a few of the photos ..... If you would like to be added to our email distribution list to be notified of any upcoming Leech Lake Legacy events please send us an email at leechlakelegacy@gmail.com.

Big Bear, Yukon and Cotton (both Yukon and Cotton are Leech Lake Legacy rescues!). Yukon is now a permanent addition to Jenna's home (and Big Bear is his wise older brother) and Cotton is being fostered by Yukon and up for adoption.
