Bertha and Trooper are 2017 Ford 350 cargo vans we acquired used over the years and put through their paces with weekly transports and frequent donation pickups. The cargo they carry is precious to us and we want to ensure the safety and comfort of the thousands of critters we help to get to new homes each year.

These days, Philip is driving Bertha, who clocks in at over 213,000 miles, and Jenny is driving Trooper, who clocks in at over 148,000 miles. Both vans experience a lot of wear and tear and require a lot of preventative maintenance, so much so that one (namely Bertha) will need to be replaced sooner rather than later.

New-ish, low-mileage cargo vans are hard to come by, and we think it could cost upwards of $60,000 (including necessary modifications), but GOOD NEWS: a generous donor has pledged a $30,000 matching grant, so we're halfway there already! Any funds raised over the cost of a new-ish, low-mileage cargo van will be used to help cover the additional insurance costs and ongoing maintenance needs of all our cargo vans.

Your day-to-day support of Leech Lake Legacy is so important and so appreciated, but some extra help is needed for a rare expense like replacing a cargo van. THANK YOU!

Calendar change! It does not appear that our inside construction project at our Cass Lake building will be far enough along for us to hold our April clinic/event, so we have to cancel it. Our updated calendar is below.

You might be wondering what is going on at our building in Cass Lake. The Babinski Foundation awarded us a generous grant for some important capital improvements. A new building is rising from the ground to give us better space for dog housing and puppy quarantine housing, and the auditorium of our existing building is being remodeled to include enclosed and permanent surgery and wellness suites. With barky dogs moving over to the new building, cats will enjoy quieter housing in the auditorium. Some funds from The Babinski Foundation grant were used last year to fence the property around the building to help prevent pets from getting loose, lost, or hit by car!

It’s that time of year again!🐶🐱

April-November, we offer a low-cost spay/neuter clinic for low income families in need. The registration for these clinics will always open on the 1st of the month prior (for example, registration for April clinic opens up on this Saturday, March 1st). Our clinics fill up extremely fast, so we recommend being on our website ready to sign up right when it opens at 6am.
