*ANIMALS HERE ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT THIS TIME*

Do you recognize us? The photo shown of the tan large mixed breed puppy was found wearing a collar but no leash. She is microchipped but we are unable to get in touch with the owners. She was found near the 5300 block of Anderson Rd in St Louis County.

We also had a good Samaritan bring in a deceased cat who was found near the YMCA in Hermantown who appears to have been hit by a vehicle. We will not be sharing a photo but he is a domestic shorthaired orange tabby cat who was not neutered. If you think this is your cat or know whose it is, please reach out to us.

If you see your pet here, please call 218-722-5341. Our staff will return your call during our regular business hours and your pet will be well cared for in the meantime.

These pets will be cared for during the state-mandated 5-day stray hold, and then placed into our adoption program if they are not reclaimed. See less

Poor Mr. Riggy…the stress of shelter life has really been getting to him. He often comforts himself by carrying around his stuffed toys.

Big Rig arrived on May 20th, and has had very little interest. He’s a big boy, with big feelings. He’s looking for a home where he can be your one and only. No other pets, and older kids only who understand space and boundaries. He also seems to exhibit some anxiety when left alone.

That being said, he loves playing with toys, going for walkies and snuggling up with staff. Naps in offices or behind the front desk break up his days - but he’s definitely reaching the point of needing to find placement outside the shelter walls. It’s possible he spent most of his time living outdoors prior to coming to us, as he loves the word “garage” and seems more relaxed while hanging outside in the play yards.

Big Rig has some quirks, and will need time and patience while adjusting to a new home. If you have the space and time to dedicate, this handsome guy could certainly use a fresh start. ❤️
Contact us today to learn more and set up a meet and greet! He also has a discounted adoption fee!

Krenzen Auto going above and beyond to continue supporting our work and the animals that need us. Thank you!!🚗🐾❤️

We’re proud to continue supporting Animal Allies Humane Society and the incredible work they do throughout our community! 🐾❤️

Yesterday, the Animal Allies team picked up their new Community Education Vehicle, the third vehicle sponsored by Krenzen Auto! 🚙🐶🐱

These vehicles help their team get out into the community, visit schools and events, provide education, and continue spreading their mission of helping pets and the people who love them.

We’re grateful to continue this partnership and support an organization that does so much good right here in the Northland.

Enjoy the new ride, Animal Allies! We can’t wait to see it out and about around the community! 🐾

‼️31 animals have come through our doors so far this week. These are just 2 of those stories:

Earlier this week we picked up a mom and her 7 puppies as they were living in the back of a truck in downtown Duluth. We’re so glad these people reached out and asked for our help, as they needed immediate assistance and had nowhere else to turn. Let’s also make one thing clear…these animals were being WELL cared for and loved. It takes a lot of courage to realize you sometimes need more resources than you can currently offer. Intake costs for this case alone are close to $900, and we would never ask that of people in this type of situation.

Today, a good samartin brought in 4 dogs they found on the side of the road eating trash. There's been whisperings online people know who these dogs belong to, so please reach out if you have information.
These dogs were not from our service area, but after taking a look at them, they all have scaring consistent with fighting. One in particular had multiple open wounds. While this will also cost us over $500 today, it's really hard to turn away injured animals once they are already at your door.
These 4 dogs technically have no where else to go due to lack of animal control outlets in our surrounding area. This is a GREAT reason you could consider attending the 2nd annual Seasons of Love fundraiser for Carlton County Animal Rescue happening tomorrow evening.

Carlton County has gone without a physical space to care for stray animals for far too long. The citizens of Carlton County and the animals there deserve to be recognized. Please speak up and talk to your city officials. Funding towards animal welfare efforts in Carlton County needs to be made a priority again, especially when there are people ready and willing to try and make it happen.

All of that being said, we're drowning in animals and the costs associated with caring for them. If you're able to donate anything towards the 31 furry friends who have come through our doors this week, it would be so appreciated. If you can share our animals online to expand their reach and encourage those looking to adopt to pay us a visit, it would mean the world to the 30 dogs and cats who are ready to walk out the door today...some of which have been waiting over 6 months to find a family.

Thank you ❤️🐾
