Our Partners in Animal Welfare
At Pennington County Humane Society, we believe deeply in the power of collaboration. Our partners play an essential role in helping us serve homeless, abused, and unwanted animals across our region. Together, we work toward a shared mission: providing safety, care, and compassion to animals in need while strengthening community education and awareness.
We feel that transparency and trust build long‑lasting partnerships, and we are committed to fostering relationships grounded in honesty, respect, and shared purpose.
Partnerships are vital to the success of our shelter. Through collaboration with local businesses, veterinary clinics, tribal organizations, rescues, and statewide animal‑welfare groups, we’re able to expand the services we offer and ensure every animal receives the care they deserve. These relationships help us provide medical treatment, food, shelter, transport, and community support — all of which make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them.
By joining forces with like‑minded partners, we amplify our reach and impact. Together, we help more animals find loving homes, support families in crisis, and build a stronger, more humane future for our community.
Animal Welfare Partners
Animal welfare partners are organizations, shelters, rescue groups, and advocacy networks that collaborate to improve the lives of animals through care, protection, and education.

Veterinarian Partners
Valley Animal Hospital has been a long-standing partner of the Pennington County Humane Society in Thief River Falls. This collaboration has played an essential role in supporting animal welfare in the community. Through their partnership, Valley Animal Hospital provides various services such as medical care, vaccinations, and spaying/neutering for animals under the care of the Humane Society.
This partnership helps ensure that rescued and abandoned animals have access to the veterinary care they need, improving their chances of finding loving, permanent homes. It also highlights the importance of local businesses working together to support their communities, especially in the area of animal rescue and adoption.

MN SNAP partnership
We partner with Minnesota Spay Neuter Assistance Program (MN SNAP) to provide high-quality, affordable spay and neuter services directly to our community. Through this vital collaboration, MN SNAP’s mobile surgery clinic visits Thief River Falls to help reduce pet overpopulation and ensure essential veterinary care is accessible to local pet families and rescue animals alike.
