Northern Lakes Rescue
Our Mission
Northern Lakes Rescue is a 501(c)(3) FOSTER HOME BASED rescue. We do NOT have our dogs in a single shelter. NLR is an organization run by several volunteers that work hard everyday to help save dogs not only here in Minnesota shelters, reservations, and owner surrenders, but also in Texas, including strays on the streets of Houston, Chained Dogs of Houston, and high-kill shelters (a number of which come to the rescue being heartworm positive).
Northern Lakes Rescue not only rescues dogs, but also focuses on helping people in need, donating food and supplies to low-income shelters, and assisting owners that need help keeping their current dogs.
Adoption Policy
Our adoption fees cover spay, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care the dogs may have needed while in the rescue’s care. For more information please see https://northernlakesrescue.org/why-do-rescues-have-adoption-fees/
We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed, are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website https://northernlakesrescue.org/dog-adoption/
