Animal Shelters

A nonprofit organization of volunteers called Northern Lights Greyhound Adoption (NLGA) is committed to educating the public about greyhounds as pets and finding responsible homes for retired racing greyhounds.

In 1990, three young people in New Market, Minnesota, brought a mother stray cat to the neighborhood pet shop for care. That was only the start. As time passed, more and more creatures were brought in, including stray, abandoned, lost, and injured animals. Even neighborhood animals, including raccoon kits that had been abandoned, squirrels that had fallen from their nests, robins, blue jays, raptors, and owls.

Our vision is that one day all Golden Retrievers and Golden Mixes will have forever homes. RAGOM's objective is to rescue, foster, and find permanent homes for Golden Retrievers and Golden Mixes in need.

In fostering and placing dogs, Pit Squad Rescue aims to meet an ongoing need. Our organization, which is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is committed to saving dogs—especially bully breeds—and giving them the care and attention they need.

As a German Shepherd Dog Rescue, we are dedicated to saving, treating, and rehoming pets into new, devoted homes. Our goal is to find loving, permanent homes for unwanted, abused, and abandoned German Shepherd dogs. We are committed to the rehabilitation of mistreated, hurt, and abandoned pets.

Our three Twin Cities adoption centers are more than just a great place to find and adopt a pet; friendly animal experts offer services and support for every stag. As one of the nation's leading animal welfare organizations, Animal Humane Society is transforming the way shelters care for animals and engage their communities. From innovative medical and behavior programs to outreach and advocacy, we're advancing animal welfare and creating a more humane world for animals.

A single vision of excellence guides the University of Minnesota System. We are unified in our desire to serve Minnesota and proud of our land-grant mission of top-notch instruction, ground-breaking research, and outreach to the community.

Our appreciation for the commitment and labor of our volunteers, who make our organization possible, cannot be expressed enough. We wouldn't be able to save and care for worthy pit bulls without them and the numerous other volunteers and fosters that give endlessly to help us with our objective.

Our program's dobermans are never kenneled and are placed with foster families who assess their temperament and behavioral characteristics so that we may offer the ideal kind of home for the dogs.

In 1987, Minnesota Federated Humane Societies became a legally recognized nonprofit entity. Since then, we have devoted all of our efforts to achieving our main goal: upholding and enforcing Minnesota's animal welfare regulations.
