About Us
Who We Are
The Rescue Crew is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Minnesota-based animal rescue organization which strives to prevent the unnecessary euthanasia of companion animals by finding them loving forever homes.
While we will rescue companion animals of all sizes, ages, breeds and conditions, The Rescue Crew will always maintain a focus on helping one of the least adopted and most euthanized breeds in the country – the “pit bull-type” dog or “bully breed.
Why We Exist
The Rescue Crew
was created
especially to help fill
a need in the local
rescue community
for shelter animals
facing imminent risk
of euthanasia
without rescue
support.
Our Mission
We are here to help save the lives of companion animals in need. Those who are homeless; the abused or abandoned; the neglected and unloved, and to show them human compassion and kindness, ultimately helping them become valued family members in a loving home.
Mistreated - Before Rescue
Injured - Before Rescue
Abandoned - Before Rescue
Our Vision
We envision the day where every adoptable companion animal has the opportunity of finding a responsible, loving home. A world where pets are no longer mistreated, abused or abandoned.
