Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: ACT V Rescue & Rehabilitation is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, foster-based organization dedicated to taking in and thoughtfully rehoming the most unwanted and neglected animals.

Target demographics: Minneapolis - St. Paul area

Programs: ACT V Rescue & Rehabilitation is wholly dedicated to improving the lives of - and finding permanent homes for- unwanted animals. In doing so, we offer our services for these special purposes:Low income medical assistanceWe dedicate our highly specialized medical expertise to free spay and neuter clinics and vaccine clinics in low income areas. We work very closely with other rescue organizations in the region to bring our medical and educational expertise to reduce unwanted litters and increase knowledge of diseases that can not only affect the family pets but the family as well. Long term shelter situationsWe have established a partnership with shelters in the Twin Cities and in other states to remove animals that have been in their facility for an extended period and/or are at risk of impending euthanasia. Because a long term stay in a facility can make a previously well adjusted family pet unstable, we will place them in to a trained foster home, where behavioral modification can begin. Injured animalsBecause we do have animal medical professionals as founders of our organization and as foster families, we are uniquely qualified to take on animals that are injured. If one of our rescue partners approaches us with an injured animal, we can take in the animal, provide the needed healthcare and rehabilitation and place them a forever home once they are healed.
