Pet Haven Inc. of MN

This morning, I woke up to an incredible email from a relatively recent supporter of ours. They are so impressed with the impact we are having this year on Minnesota pet's lives. They have been watching our work this year and see the 51% increase in dog intake focusing on shelters with no adoption programs. They are amazed at the 800+ felines we have brought this year, many with health challenges or needing more time to become trusting. They see us valuing senior pets, knowing they have love to give even if they may not have much time left.  They saw firsthand, when visiting our facility, our commitment to helping anyone who walks through our doors without judgment. They see how important our work is and how valuable we are to the community and want to inspire more giving by offering a $35,000 matching grant! Please help us unlock this incredible generosity and make a even bigger IMPACT! 

Kerry D'Amato - Executive Director Pet Haven

Fostering Love, Changing Lives, and Creating Family Since 1952.

We're Minnesota's oldest foster-based rescue, saving the lives of dogs and cats for over 70 years. We accomplish our mission through the energy and commitment of a small staff and a large, compassionate community of volunteers and foster families.

Our Mission

To be the go-to foster-based rescue for Minnesota pets searching for love, community & care.

Pet Haven improves the lives of pets and people through our:

• Spay/Neuter Initiative: Providing support to end pet overpopulation in Minnesota.
• Owner Surrender Program: Providing a safe haven for pet owners unable to continue providing care for their animals.
• Fostering Community: Committed to finding forever homes for cats and dogs through foster and adopters.
• Phoenix Fund for Special Needs: Providing veterinary care for animals in need of healing.

Our Vision

A Minnesota where all pets live in safe, loving homes.

Our Impact. 

• 903 pets saved to date -- a 20% increase over last year!
• 814 pets adopted -- a 7% increase over last year!
• Over 1000% increase in owner surrenders since 2020.
• 301 pets rescued through our partnership with local Minnesota shelters.
• 137 pets rescued through reservation partners like Leach Lake Legacy.
• 120,000 pounds of pet food donated last year to community food shelves & low-income pet owners
• 80% savings on spay/neuters by our in-house veterinary clinic (based on our average cost at outside partner clinics)

But the biggest impact is on pets' lives! 

This is a "Before-After" photo from a group of Shih Tzus we rescued in partnership with a local animal control agency. The pups were involved in an animal neglect case. Pet Haven cleaned them, medically treated them, and is currently placing them with foster/adoption homes.
