Animal Shelters in Minnesota
Minnesota has 239 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 53 counties. About half are rescue organizations. Minneapolis has more than any other Minnesota city, followed by Saint Paul and Rochester. Between them there are dogs and cats of every age and size in Minnesota, and the right one is rarely the one you set out looking for.
Minnesota has 239 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
Minneapolis has more than anywhere else in Minnesota, followed by Saint Paul, Rochester and Duluth. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.
Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis counties have the most, though listings reach 53 of Minnesota's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
