About this shelter
Great River Rescue in Bemidji, MN
Great River Rescue is a private nonprofit organization recognized as a 501(c)(3), established in 1977. We operate as a no-kill animal shelter, focusing on rescuing stray and unwanted companion animals. Our commitment is to provide quality care for these animals until we can find them suitable homes. All animals are spayed or neutered before adoption. Our goal is to reduce pet overpopulation and eliminate unnecessary euthanasia. Our mission is to serve the best interests of the animals we protect.
