Just a few of our pound rescue alumni

The Minnesota Humane Society, in partnership with an animal control holding facility serving several metro area communities, rescues all unclaimed animals after their five day impound period.  These unclaimed animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and receive any needed medical attention.  Because the Minnesota Humane Society does not operate its own shelter, we have developed associations with various Twin Cities no-kill organizations and our rescued animals are placed into their adoption programs.

Unfortunately due to the pet overpopulation problem, there are times when no space is available in these no-kill programs.  Thankfully there are foster homes for those times or when a medical condition requires recuperation in a quiet home.  

The Minnesota Humane Society would like to expand its pound rescue program and save more lives.  In order to do so, more foster homes are needed.  If you can open your home to an animal in need, please fill out a foster application.
