Community Vetting and Tribal Partnerships

The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. Since our start in 2009, we have rescued over 32,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization provides safe shelter, proper veterinary care and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them find or sustain a bond with humans.

We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.

You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.

Currently, we host wellness clinics with our partners in the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, Lower Sioux Indian Community, the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, and Minneapolis-based Tribal members. At these clinics, The Bond Between funds spay and neuter surgeries to around 300 animals per year and provides wellness exams and life-saving vaccines to around 1,000 animals per year. We are grateful to our volunteers, vetting professionals, and - most importantly - our Tribal partners. This critical healthcare work would not be possible without them.
