Borderland Humane Society
Our Mission
The Borderland Humane Society is dedicated to providing safe shelter for companion animals in transition while promoting responsible pet ownership to improve the quality of life for both animals and our community.
A History of Compassion
Incorporated in 1973 in International Falls, Minnesota, we have spent decades serving the animals and people of Koochiching County. From our early roots in community education to our current operations, we have grown into a collaborative organization committed to rescue, fostering, and re-homing.
How We Care for Our Animals
We believe in the highest standards of care and have formally adopted the Association of Shelter Veterinarians’ Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters. Our dedicated team operates a modern holding facility, opened in 2015, where we prioritize the five freedoms for every animal, ensuring they are provided with comfort, proper nutrition, and the ability to express their natural behaviors while awaiting their forever homes.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a serious and rewarding responsibility, and we strive to place every animal in the most suitable home possible. We take great care to ensure a thoughtful match, and our team is always here to answer questions throughout the process. When you adopt from us, you are not just getting a pet; you are joining a network of compassionate neighbors working together to make our county a safer, kinder place for cats and dogs.
