As we begin 2014, I thought I would share some highlights and some statistics from 2013 and to take a moment to thank you for walking with us in this journey and sharing our vision:
"Envisioning a world where every reservation dog and cat is well cared for."
Leech Lake Legacy: 2013 - Year in Review
- We transported 858 (520 dogs, 333 cats, 1 duck and 4 bunnies) to our partner shelters and rescues who were then placed up for adoption.
- - 74 transports and 37,000 miles were driven to
transport these precious 858 animals to the next stage of their journey
- - We hosted 5 spay/neuter clinics, 6 wellness
clinics and 3 Great Puppy Roundups
- - We offered an educational session on responsible
pet ownership, reading pet body language and a demo of rallying at our August,
2013 clinic
- - We expanded our reach to a new community
(Onigum) on Leech Lake Reservation and offered a wellness clinic in October,
2013. All of our clinics in the past have been in Cass Lake.
- - We collected and transported thousands of pounds
of donated supplies including doghouses, dog food, cat food, cat litter, clinic
supplies, vaccines, blankets, pee pads and many, many other items
