BY FACILITATING ADOPTIONS OF DOGS AND CATS OUTSIDE OUR REGION, WE'VE NOT ONLY FOUND HOMES FOR THESE ANIMALS BUT ALSO CREATED SPACE TO RESCUE MORE HOMELESS OR INJURED ANIMALS. LAST YEAR, OUR ROAD TRIPS ENABLED 51 ANIMALS TO FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING A SAFE HAVEN IN OUR RESCUE FOR OTHER ANIMALS. WE ALSO BUILT ON OUR AIR TRANSPORT PROGRAM THROUGH SOUTHWEST AND DELTA AIRLINES ADOPTING 6 ANIMALS OUTSIDE OF NORTH DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA.WE HELD 4 FREE SPAY / NEUTER / VACCINATION CLINICS IN 2025.
