Adopting is a trust decision — you’re not just choosing a dog or cat, you’re choosing the rescue behind them. So read what people say about us before you apply. Our reviews live on the platforms adopters actually use, linked below, where we can’t edit or filter them.
And because reviews only tell part of the story, this page also shows the records behind the trust: our transparency rating, how the money is used, and how our foster-based model works.
In their words, not ours.
Reviews and recommendations from adopters, fosters, and event visitors — on platforms we don’t control.
Trust you can verify.
Independent records anyone can check — no login, no asking us.
Candid Platinum Seal
Our finances, leadership, and results are published on Candid (GuideStar) at their highest transparency tier — the Platinum Seal. EIN 84-3274038, so you can look us up anywhere nonprofits are tracked.
10,000+ animals since 2019
More than ten thousand dogs and cats have come through the network and gone home since we started in 2019, across Minnesota, South Dakota, and the Upper Midwest.
100% foster-based
No kennels. Every animal lives in a real home, and every profile is written by the foster who lives with them — so what you read is what you get, quirks included.
Adopted from us? Tell the next family.
A two-minute review is the single most useful thing an adopter can give the next animal in line — it’s what future adopters read before they trust us with their family. Photos of your rescue thriving are welcome too.
