We are 100% Volunteer Operated and Foster-Based
The Rescue Crew is a Minnesota-based, foster-powered, 100% volunteer-operated nonprofit on a mission to save lives. We work tirelessly to prevent the unnecessary euthanasia of dogs and cats, helping them find safe, loving forever homes.
We rescue dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, sizes, and medical conditions — but we prioritize the most urgent: pets in local shelters across Minnesota, especially those in the Twin Cities metro area, who are at immediate risk without rescue support.
Because every life matters, and every pet deserves a second chance.
