Though in existence for over 40 years, it has only been in the past few years that we have become the place in southeastern Minnesota where abandoned, surrendered and often abused animals can find a caring group of volunteers who will provide medical care and temporary foster homes while new loving families are sought for them.

We get no government funding.  All of our money comes from membership fees, which range from $10.00 per year for a single membership to $100.00 for a lifettime membership, modest adoption fees, fund raisers like our huge "garage sale" this past summer  and donations from other caring organizations and individuals.

In 2009 we have taken in 185 animals and we currently have 27 dogs and cats awaiting what we hope will be their "forever" homes.

Our website tells more about us. We always need help....for folks willing to foster, for people who have supplies to donate, for those who make cash contributions and those wonderful families who make room in their homes for our beloved animals.
