My name is Robin!

We want to be sure that the adoption process is as smooth and positive an experience as possible. Our animals are in foster homes and we do everything we can to learn as much about their likes and dislikes, temperament and activity level as we can while in our care. By doing so, it enables us to work more closely with a potential adopter to help ensure a "good fit." The adoption process might take a bit longer than adopting from a shelter, but our ultimate goal is finding a match that benefits not just the animal, but also the family interested in adopting. We are looking to let our adopters chose the speed of the adoption process. To start the process, we require that an adoption application be completed. Once submitted, we will connect with you to discuss the type of animal you're looking for, your lifestyle and home environment, and what the best fit may be. At times, we may request to conduct a home visit, which can often be done in tandem with what we refer to a "meet and greet" where you have the opportunity to meet and interact with the animal(s) you're interested in adopting. Ad part of our process we conduct background check on all applicants, will check personal and vet references also. Our goal is always the proper placement for any adopted animal, which may mean that the animal you originally are interested in may turn out to not be the best fit, but we will work with you to find a better match. Adoption fees include spaying/neutering of all animals, age appropriate vaccinations ad microchipping and range anywhere from $80-$175 for cats and $200-$450 for dogs. Prior to finalizing adoptions we require a signed Contract & Agreement which includes an understanding that if for any reason the animal does not work out that you will return them back to The Rescue Crew.

We are a fully volunteer-run, foster-based rescue serving Minnesota with one purpose: to bring hope — and a second chance — to dogs and cats who have nowhere else to turn. Our work begins in overcrowded local shelters, where animals face overwhelming odds, and continues in reservation communities where resources for pets are scarce. We believe every companion pet deserves kindness, healing, and a family that sees their worth. OUR MISSION: We save the lives of companion animals in need — including those who are homeless, abandoned, neglected, or at risk. Through compassion, kindness, and care, we help them heal and thrive, ultimately becoming cherished family members in loving homes. OUR VISION: We envision a world where every adoptable dog and cat has the chance to find a responsible, loving home opportunity to find a responsible, loving home — a world where no animal is mistreated, abandoned, or forgotten.
