RK Acres Sanctuary

Since 1985, Rice County has been served by Prairie's Edge Humane Society, formerly known as Rice County Humane Society.

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.

We came together with the shared interest of rescuing, rehabbing, and rehoming animals after recognizing the need for local rescue in our neighborhood. Founded with pride on November 26, 2016.

Our focus is on horses, dogs, and cats. In November 2012, Keri (Marsh) Bedeaux established PPAR. We have helped about 1800 animals since 2012. TN, OK, KY, GA, AL, TX, SD, and ND are the states from where the majority of our animals are sourced. We make an effort to give local animals in need priority, but we also accept owner surrenders.

Furball Farm is committed to provide shelter to cats who are in desperate situations. Until they are adopted into a loving home, each cat is free to live out its entire life in a cage-free environment.

All rescued animals are cared for by Last Hope's network of foster homes until permanent homes are located. All of the animals in its network of foster homes receive veterinary care, food, supplies, and spay/neuter procedures through Last Hope.
