Two years ago, this story wouldn’t have had a happy ending. But because the Tribal Police go the extra mile for animals and work with a project called Leech Lake Legacy, there was hope. The project transports animals in need from the reservation to shelters and rescues around Minnesota that can provide life-saving veterinary care, rehabilitation and adoption. This life-saving initiative receives support from the ASPCA.
After seeing the dog, Washington called Leech Lake Legacy right away, and the next day the dog—named Nibi, Ojibwe for water—got on a volunteer transport.
Today, just over a month after Washington rescued him, Nibi is thriving, getting healthier each day. He greets his people enthusiastically and likes to put their fingers in his mouth as his special way of “holding hands.” He goes to work at a wildlife center with his foster mom and stares at the mountain lions. He is so happy.
Nibi’s story doesn’t make headlines, but it’s one of millions in which the ASPCA is honored to play a role.
