The dust is settling and the final clinic of 2011 is complete.
Akin Hills and Animal Ark came on Friday, October 21, 2011 and cleaned the warehouse in preparation for a great 2 day clinic. Lindsay Kline and friends did a great job raising all the funds needed for the clinic which is admirable. 
A total of 97 dogs and cats were neutered or spayed which was so important at this time of the year to prevent January litters which normally will suffer and freeze to death in this harsh climate.SARGE WITH FACE FULL OF QUILLS
A total of 42 animals were surrendered (sadly, three of the puppies died of parvo); 27 were transferred out to Animal Allies, SHH foster care, RLRR foster care, Dr. Bartsch, Animal Ark, and Tricounty.
Only 12 animals were sent to the RLRR shelter, and one of those, Delores, a small pup leaves tomorrow for Act V Rescue & Rehabilitation.
A big thank you to Linda Ratay for providing great food, and to Billy for working in the kitchen all during the clinic providing meals for the volunteers.DONATED FOOD
Another big thank you to Last Hope volunteers who helped during the clinic, as well as made an impromptu transport of 16 surrendered animals on Saturday all the way to Duluth to Animal Allies to help out.MARTY BEFORE

I am hoping Mary Wick will send a list of all the volunteers so we can acknowledge all of them- as I do not want to forget people. She already sent a bunch of great pictures.DOG WITH BONE STUCK IN TEETH
