Leech Lake Legacy

11/02/2026

Can you believe we've been quietly working for 15 years now? We don't like to brag on ourselves, and we're not good at asking for donations when we need them (and boy howdy, do we ever right now). But we ARE good at keeping our heads down and delivering on our mission and vision every day. Strong, deep, long-lasting relationships with the community in which we serve, the partners who help lift us up, and the volunteers that keep the wheels turning. With 28,000+ animals placed and transported, 4,300+ spay/neuter surgeries, and 9,200+ wellness visits, we've demonstrated what we can do by working together for animals and the people who love them. Won't you help by donating on Give to the Max Day (November 19) or during the early giving period every day up until then? https://www.givemn.org/organization/Leech-Lake-Legacy

Every year when we turn the calendar to November, we're reminded to begin preparations for winter and the holidays. And we're also reminded that Give to the Max Day's early giving window has opened! A successful Give to the Max Day fundraising result is incredibly important to us, this year especially as our donations are down. The early giving window runs November 1 - 18. Your early giving donations count towards our Give to the Max goal, and they just might win us a daily golden ticket. Here's a direct link to our Give to the Max fundraising page: https://www.givemn.org/organization/Leech-Lake-Legacy

There are other ways to give--simply message us for options for check, or PayPal or Zeffy donation platforms!

UPDATE 6:30pm Sat Oct 17: We had an
Incredible response to this post. Volunteers are busy reaching out to everyone who submitted a request form. We will likely fill all available wellness appointments from the request forms already received. If we don’t get you into this October clinic, we will keep your name on the list for our next clinic, planned for the spring. 

We have reached out to everyone on our wellness waiting list and still have some openings for upcoming wellness clinic Friday Oct 23 - Saturday Oct 24. There is a requested copay of $20 per animal, which includes a wellness exam and vaccines (but no one has turned away for inability to pay). If you would like to add your pet tothe list, please fill out the request form on our website (or use the link below). A volunteer will text you to schedule an appointment. If we are not able to get you into this clinic, we will keep you on the list for our next clinic in the spring. This clinic is open to residents of the Leech Lake Reservation or enrolled band members.

Please note that our spay/neuter waitlist is currently closed until 2027. We encourage anyone looking for spay/neuter services to check out these other options. Please check out these other options for wellness. We will reach out to you by phone, text or email when we reach your spot on the list. Pl...

CALENDAR UPDATE: We had to make the unfortunate decision to CANCEL our upcoming September clinic. We were unable to secure one of the key resources necessary, and despite our best efforts to juggle dates, we could not pull it off.
