We are a 501c3 non-profit foster based animal rescue organization based in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. Our mission: To save the lives and improve the lives of companion animals by engaging communities and connecting people, resources and knowledge. We believe that all sentient beings aspire to and are worthy of happiness. We believe people can and should do better by the animals that share our world. They think, they feel, they desire and are deserving of joy. Our companion animals seek a connection, they work hard to understand us and we owe them the same in return. Our conviction and beliefs are our actions. We rescue. We are fulfillers of hope, righters of wrongs and healers of bodies and souls. We are vanquishers of hungers and fears. We are champions of the underdog, defenders of the voiceless and guardians of innocence. We uncover the radiance we know exists even in the darkest of places and hours. We are overcomers of odds. We rehome. We work to provide companion animals with the best lives possible. In return, we know, they give us all the best days of ours.
Step 1: Find A Potential Match. Browse our Adoptable Pet Listings and fill out our Adoption Application if you see a pet you are interested in meeting. Your application will be reviewed and you may receive follow up questions. If it seems like a potential match you will be contacted by the pet’s foster parent. Step 2: Meet the pet. If you and the foster parent agree this could be a good fit the foster parent will work with you to schedule a time you can meet the pet. This meeting may take place at the foster home, your home, a Meet & Greet event or a neutral location. All family members must be present at the meeting. The resident pets and foster pet must meet prior to continuing the adoption process. Step 3: Adoption approval process - Email safehands@safehandsrescue.org to confirm you want to move forward with adopting the pet. An organization representative will speak with the foster parent about the meeting. Any necessary vet, landlord or city pet limit checks will be completed. If all parties agree this seems to be a good match we move to Step 4. Step 4: If you would like to move forward with your adoption and your application is accepted, you’ll receive an email with a contract and payment link, and the foster will coordinate a pickup of the animal with you.
