Lenny – Not a Quill but a Bullet!
Sally thought Lenny was fighting an ear infection due to him shaking his head all the time. He also had a pea sized lump on his jaw. Took him to the vet yesterday they kept him all night to sedate him this morning to see what was wrong. The doctor called Sally today after surgery and said they removed a bullet! No ear infection just a bullet. Thank you Dr. Erin at River Ridge Hospital and the vet technicians for your compassion and care.
If you remember, Lenny was one of the original 3 Quill Crew that was rescued on the Eve of MN Gun Deer Season 2023.

Opal and her babies
Opal a pregnant Chessie mix was live trapped on a reservation in South Dakota. We agreed to take the pregnant Opal who has had numerous previous litters on the reservation. Opal was very fearful of people and did not allow any touching. She has quickly learned we are good and kind people and is allowing us to touch her. The evening of Oct 17, 2024 Opal’s last litter is being born….. Details on puppies to follow

Donate to the Minnesota Chessies
In November, we became aware of a few young male Chesapeake Bay Retrievers that were being found in Minnesota. The dogs were all young intact males and found in communities near each other. A small group of rescuers, Chessie people, local rescuers and concerned citizens came together to assist capturing and getting these dogs to safety. To date we have been able to find homes for two. The other four needed a safe place so we have been bringing them here once they complete their MN stray hold and obtain required vetting. Please donate towards their medical expenses as each required vetting in MN is between $163-$350 per dog. Due to the volume of dogs and shortage of vet appointments we often have to go to the vet that has an open appointment.

Donate to the Quill Dogs and Litter from MN
On Friday November 3, 2023, a hunter found three dogs with faces full of quills. Through a series of Facebook shares, the trio was able to receive much needed veterinary care and transported to a safe place. Over the next week, the dogs were seen by another vet to get vaccinations and paperwork necessary to be transported to our rescue in Steward, IL. Dogs all tested positive for some tick borne diseases. The male dogs were started on antibiotics immediately. The female was very pregnant and on November 8, 2023, she delivered six healthy puppies (3 males and 3 females). The dogs are all safe at our facility and will be available for adoption eventually.
