Community Solutions
Life can throw unexpected challenges at pet owners, and sometimes surrender feels like the only option. We understand, and our goal is to support bonds and offer resources so that pets and their families can stay together.
Pet Food Shelf
Our Pet Food Shelf offers free pet food and supplies to community members in need, helping keep pets with the people who love them most. Together, we support the bond that makes every home complete.
Respite Foster Care
Provides short-term foster care for pets while their families navigate temporary challenges—helping keep people and pets together when it matters most.
Stray Animals
Before The Bond Between can consider taking in a stray animal, "Stray Hold" must be completed. These legal requirements are important because we want to make sure that we don't take in an owned animal by accident.
Pet Training
Programs
The Bond Between partners with local trainers to help prepare our foster animals for happy and successful lives with their forever families. Many of our training partners also offer discounts to our adoptive families!
Domestic Violence
Support
The Bond Between and the MN Pet Foster Coalition provide safe, temporary foster care for pets of domestic violence victims and survivors in Minnesota. Learn about other helpful resources that can save you and your pet.
Pet Loss Support Group

Lost animal Prevention
The Bond Between partners with local trainers to help prepare our foster animals for happy and successful lives with their forever families. Many of our training partners also offer discounts to our adoptive families!
Surrender your Pet
Surrendering a pet can be a heart-wrenching and deeply personal decision, and we want you to know that you’re not alone. Our team is here to listen, support, and guide you through this process with compassion.
