The Rescue Crew
Our Mission
The Rescue Crew is a dedicated 100% volunteer-operated, foster-based animal rescue in Minnesota. We work tirelessly to save dogs and cats at risk in local shelters and on tribal lands, giving them the second chance they deserve.
Why We Rescue
Founded to fill a critical gap in Minnesota, we step in to support animals who face uncertain futures simply because they have nowhere else to go. We believe every companion pet deserves kindness, healing, and a family that truly sees their worth.
How We Operate
We are a foster-based rescue, meaning our pets live in loving homes rather than kennels until they are ready to find their families. This model allows our volunteers to get to know each animal’s unique personality, quirks, and needs. While we operate an administrative office and cat adoption center in Andover, the heart of our work happens within our community of foster caregivers.
The Adopter Connection
We believe that Right Pet, Right Home is the secret to a successful, lifelong adoption. Our team works thoughtfully to understand both the animals and the families interested in them, ensuring that every placement is a perfect match. When you adopt from us, you aren't just bringing home a pet; you are joining a compassionate community committed to making happily-ever-afters possible.
