Dog Rescue
Well here we are again. It's been a busy summer in Canada for Claudie (my wife) and I. Claudie started helping out taking care of animals on the Alexis reserve a few months ago. What started as simply going out to feed the dogs ended up becoming a rescue service. Her first rescue was a little black Lab. (Jake). He had been shot in the back leg and the leg had to be amputated. The dog is fine and has since found a lovely home. The cost to do the surgery was $1200.00. A surgery of this nature is worth a lot more but our vet knowing the animal was not Claudie's helped out by sharing some of the cost.
I started helping out shortly after this with the sole intent of simply driving out to the reserve once a week to help Claudie feed the dogs. Wasn't long before about seven of them decided that attacking a Porcupine would be fun. As you can imagine there were seven animals running around with a face full of Porcupine quills. Three of the dogs came to us and I'm thinking this was due to the friendship built up over the past few months feeding them and giving them water. We managed to get all three to our veterinarian and with a lot of TLC and drugs managed to make them all better. Two Vets pulled quills for 2 1/2 hours. Cost to do this was $350.00. We returned them back home the following day after the sedatives had worn off with the hopes that they had learned a valuable lesson when it comes to Porcupines. There are still a few that we are trying to find and with a little help from above maybe we can save them also.
*One of our goals this year is to Spay/Neuter as many of the K9s on the reserve that we can but we need your help to do this. Your donations would be greatly appreciated.
