Meet Quill...
Not all of ARF's medical interventions are for the animals we rescue. Sometimes dogs with owners need our help too. This young fellow was found running at large on a nearby First Nations Community. The quills had been embedded for a few days already and were starting to get infected. They were no doubt very, very painful. ARF's Dog Program Coordinator saw him and knew he needed help. She tracked down his owner and got permission for ARF to do the necessary treatment. He was brought into a local vet clinic where the porcupine quills were removed and he was neutered. He was returned to his owner the next day.
You can help. ARF does everything it can to help a dog or cat once rescued. ARF is a registered charity, staffed almost entirely by volunteers, and reliant on donations. You can help Quill, and other dogs and cats like him, by donating here. Quill's story is just one of hundreds. Thank you from the bottom of Quill's heart.
