    Animal Rescue & Non-Profit Collaborations

    We assist other animal rescues within the state of North Dakota by transferring cats and dogs into our care when we have space available. We share resources and excess supplies whenever possible.  Our shelter is a drop-off site for donations for the Minot Area Homeless Coalition, and we have a referral center in our lobby for individuals needing assistance beyond the scope of our mission.
