Rescue Network is a 100% foster-based dog and cat rescue in Minnesota and South Dakota. Our three programs focus on animals from Reservation communities, dogs with parvo, and dogs and cats from overcrowded shelters in the South. The Reservations are our first priority.
In 2025, 2,214 animals came into our care, and 1,687 of them came from Reservations in South Dakota, Minnesota and North Dakota. Most of them live in a foster home from intake through adoption. See our impact.
