Their future is our mission.
Great Tails Animal Rescue is a nonprofit animal rescue serving Itasca County, Minnesota and surrounding communities. We provide temporary shelter, medical care, and second chances for stray, abandoned, and surrendered dogs, cats, and small domestic pets.
As a foster-based rescue in Itasca County, our focus is simple: give animals the care they need and place them in safe, permanent homes.
If you are looking for pet adoption in Itasca County MN or want to support local animal rescue efforts, we are here to help.
Our goal is to protect and support domestic animals in our community by promoting spay and neuter, providing education and responsible pet ownership resources, encouraging essential veterinary care, and preparing animals for safe, permanent adoption. We believe strong communities start with responsible animal care, and we are committed to creating a better future for pets across Itasca County.
Building Updates
A permanent building is a sustainable solution for animal rescue care in the area, allowing us to prioritize pet health and safety with stronger, more consistent measures and to care for animals who need immediate shelter. This space will work hand in hand with our foster network, which remains a vital part of our lifesaving efforts. Together, the building and our foster families allow us to help more animals, support the community through education and resources, and create jobs that strengthen local animal welfare.
