Vetting is by far our largest line — covering spay/neuter, vaccinations, dental, surgical, and emergency care for every animal in our system.
The work, in motion.
Stories from the road, the reservations, and the homes where every life takes a new turn.
Different foster families opened their homes in 2025.
Every animal we save lives in a real home from intake through adoption — no kennels, no concrete, no cages. That model is built and rebuilt every day by 531 volunteer households.
Become a FosterHow we measure success.
Our rescue is 100% foster-based — we do not operate a physical facility. Every animal we save is in a loving home from intake to adoption. This model lets us know each animal's personality, behavior, and needs in detail, which leads to better placements and lower return rates.
Where we work.
We are one of the primary rescue organizations serving Reservations across South Dakota. We additionally support several Reservations in North Dakota, and we partner with shelters in Minnesota to place animals into homes through adoption events and our foster network.
