Minnesota Valley Humane Society

Only by telling the truth can the truth be changed.

We like to include this phrase with our statistics. We feel it is important to be forthright and open about the number of animals we take in each year, the number we adopt, and the number we euthanize.

We have included our adoption rate of adoptable animals along with our overall adoption rate. This is the latest trend in animal welfare, and we want you to know how we relate to other organizations.

Working Together - Saving Lives

The Minnesota Valley Humane Society does all it can to improve the lives of animals in our community. But we can't do it all. We work with other rescue agencies to better the lives of animals and people in our area.
