Rescue Network Inc

Since 2019, Rescue Network has saved over 8,000 lives. In 2025 alone, we are projecting approximately 1,800 adoptions and expect to invest nearly $1 million in veterinary care.

We are the primary rescue organization serving South Dakota Reservations, proudly assisting communities throughout the entire state. In addition, we collaborate closely with the Sioux Falls Humane Society, local animal shelters across Minnesota, and Reservations in both North Dakota and Minnesota. Helping animals locally is at the heart of everything we do.

Animals coming from Reservations often arrive with little to no prior veterinary care. Their needs typically go far beyond standard vetting to restore them to health. Many of these areas lack access to animal control or veterinary services, so community members rely on us day and night to respond when an animal is in need. And we do just that.

                                                                                 

Thank you so much for your support of Rescue Network. When I founded Rescue Network in 2019, I never could have imagined that we would be able to save as many animals as we have today.

What started as a dream has grown into something truly incredible and it continues to grow every day. I promise to keep striving to fulfill that dream and to save as many lives as we possibly can.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in our mission and for helping make this work possible.
