Transparency

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.

Track record

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.

The model

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.
