April MN SNAP clinic

The first 2012 MN SNAP spay/neuter clinic was held last week. Funded by Chuck & Don's Paw Print campaign, approximately 85 animals were altered, vaccinated, and given flea/tick/heartworm prevention. An additional 50 previously altered animals were brought in for vaccinations and parasite treatment/prevention.

JACK

JACK & MIKE

On their first MN SNAP trip to Red Lake reservation, Dr Lisa and her team worked long days to sterilize and care for community animals. They even started early one day in order to remove a damaged eye from a surrendered dog, Jack.

AMY & MARIE

A longtime supporter of RLRR, Amy D, brought her friend Dr Marie L who not only neutered a few animals, but also took care of most of the non-surgical animals needing help. She examined injured/ill dogs and cats, pulled quills, dispensed medications, vaccinated, Parvo-tested, euthanized several critically ill dogs, and helped, tirelessly, in any way she could.

DEB

HEATHER

Thanks to our dedicated support volunteers Mike, Lauren, Colleen, Jill, Kristen, Deb (a new volunteer who jumped right into the fray), Heather, Billy, Amy, and Nancy, for making everything happen - assembling & cleaning crates, checking-in animals, feeding and walking, doing laundry and dishes, etc.

COLLEEN IN THE KITCHEN

Once again, Claudia generously provided all of the delicious meals for everyone. Billy was our chef du kitchen. He made sure that all of Claudia's fabulous food was prepared, served, and cleaned up. He even made a rockin' potato salad with leftovers.

HEATHER

KRISTEN

Julie was busy every day caring for the poor matted canines (and a feline) brought in for grooming. She worked miracles on about 20 animals, who went home feeling ever so much better thanks to her grooming skills.

GIRLS & PUPS

Thank you to everyone who made the clinic possible and know that your efforts are making a real difference in curbing overpopulation on the reservation.
