Mending Spirits Animal Rescue

Mending Spirits Animal Rescue Mending Spirits Animal Rescue is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) foster-based animal rescue in Mankato, MN. Our team is composed of committed unpaid volunteers.

We serve vast communities in need throughout Minnesota and all over the United States. Mending Spirits Animal Rescue is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) 100 percent volunteer foster-based animal rescue in Mankato, MN. Founded in October of 2013, MSARs dedicated volunteers of over 200 members have successfully enabled rescue for nearly 4000 animals of roughly 30 different species! We maintain an average of 18

0 or more animals in foster care, ranging from dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rabbits, pocket pets, exotics, and farm animals. We are one of the only all-animal rescues in southern Minnesota! MSARs animals are provided:
• Spay or neuter surgery
• Distemper and Rabies vaccinations and boosters
• Deworming treatments
• Heartworm tests and treatment/medication (if positive)
• Microchip implant
• FIV and FeLV tests and treatment/medication (if positive)
• Monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventatives
• Dental care if needed
• Orthopedic surgery and aftercare if needed
• Care for illness and injury
• Food, treats, and supplements appropriate for their nutritional needs
• Access to free training
• Supplies for our fosters (food, crate, bedding, toys, leash, collar, cat litter, etc.) Our Mission:
We successfully rescue animals from animal impound, high kill facilities, owner surrenders, cruelty cases, strays, and puppy mills then place them into well-paired, permanent homes. We serve as a rescue for the community too and educate and advocate for responsible pet ownership, pet retention tools, overpopulation control, affordable spaying/neutering services, supplying pet food during hardship, behavioral management and training, and proper preventative and maintenance care. Our five programs activate our mission and beautifully orchestrate the compassion of our incredible volunteers. Pet Retention Program:
MSAR takes pride in enabling successful pet ownership that is lifelong. We engage in securing proper placements with a screening process. In addition, we have created a Pet Behavior Library, supplying access to professional training and behavioral staff at no cost to our alumni. Our overall return rate is less than 4 percent. Help Them Heal Program:
On average, nearly 50 percent of our intakes are special needs. Let's define “special needs”. The reality is that all animals need special care and love. Special needs animals often require a little extra time, love, and energy. These animals take a certain commitment, especially financially, as they will often need extensive medical care or other supportive services. Special needs animals may suffer from the following:
• Has a physical disability
• Has a chronic or terminal illness
• Is recovering from a serious injury
• Is elderly and/or requires hospice care at home
• Has emotional and/or behavioral problems

The above list is certainly not a comprehensive list of issues and diseases but gives you an idea of what one can expect. Many of our animals’ medical care costs exceed their adoption fees! They all deserve a chance! Securing wellness and a loving forever home for a special needs animal is so rewarding. Healing Heroes Program:
New in 2019, we have launched our Healing Heroes program! MSAR has a professional trainer onboard who custom trains rescued dogs to become a trained service dog for a Veteran in need. We have begun to work closely with Veteran supportive programs to assist with connecting us to Veterans appropriate for this cause. We do not charge higher adoption fees for these specially trained dogs and
the fee is solely funded by fundraising and donation. Pantry Program:
This program utilizes our extra donated supplies to help local families who might be facing uncertainty during this time when financial security, stability, and physical and mental health became the nation's biggest concern. Donations that met the needs of the pets, were facilitated in a safe and contactless manner. Mending Moments Program:
Established in the loving memory of Kelly Hanson
March 7th, 1973 - May 3rd, 2022. Kelly was MSAR’s Board Secretary, Marketing Director, and Specialized Foster Caregiver. Kelly lovingly welcomed countless dogs into her heart and home with immense devotion and compassion. Those special dogs simply needed someone to believe in them while surrounding them with nurturing wholesome care. In May of 2021, Kelly sadly was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. Kelly fulfilled and exceeded in all of her roles within rescue while she bravely fought this battle. After Kelly suffered a severe stroke, she peacefully slipped away on May 3rd of 2022. MSAR’s Mending Moments Program promotes a beautiful vision that continues Kelly's heartfelt passion. It embodies Kelly’s ability to provide comfort care. Mending Moments addresses the physical, psychological, and social needs of animals with chronic and/or life-limiting diseases. In Kelly’s honor, this program also provides physical and emotional support for the animal’s foster caregiver. Our program strives to create a world in which animal hospice and palliative care services are available to animals and their devoted foster caregivers, lifelong within our community. When animals come into our care, sometimes they are not able to be adopted due to a terminal illness. In these cases, we heavily rely on foster caregivers to provide these animals with love, comfort, and quality care. This is essential during the last moments of their lives. It is important that these homeless animals are afforded the same love and dignity that all beloved pets deserve at the end of their lives. Through Mending Moments, MSAR is able to continue to honor Kelly’s passion. Please help us continue our mission of being the “bridge between; for an animal in need” as we work to ensure an animal will “never be alone and forever in a home”. We appreciate your taking the time to consider supporting Mending Spirits Animal Rescue. Thank You,

Hi friends! My name is Kyleigh! 👋
I’m a sweet, easy-tempered little rabbit with fur like velvet. I am still working on the litter box thing, but I will p*e on pads most of the time. I am also not a big chewer like some other rabbits. My foster is pretty comfortable leaving me out in my rabbit-proof room during the day. At night it is pretty easy to get me back in my cage if you offer a treat. I love Oxbow baked treats! I can be a little picky when it comes to veggies, but some of my favorites are mixed greens, cilantro, and the occasional carrot. I’m not a bunny that likes being picked up very well, but I do love gentle pets and touches. I am fostered with several kittens and get along with them really well. Please consider giving a sweet bunny a second chance and fill out that adoption form today!

About Me: Hello friends, thanks for popcorning by to p*ek at our story and learn all about us. We feel quite grand living in a fresh, new, and safe home. We are a father-son pair who was brought into Mending Spirits after our owner couldn’t take care of us anymore. We are loving our foster home and our joyful nature with house-savvy mannerisms certainly reflects our appreciation. We are currently kept in an enclosure with generous space. We are bonded males who must be adopted together. Us Guinea Pigs are social and do best in pairs, trios or herds.

We are funny and adventurous gals and quite honestly very laid back! We enjoy greeting our human friends with welcome wheeks. We give our people affection by laying in laps for nice snuggles and by letting them pet our beautiful hair. We like having company and will seek out attention and soft pets from people.

We are healthy eaters. Some of our favorite foods are- Spring mix, apple, peppers, carrot, kale, spinach… give us all the GREENS! We pretty much love everything so let's have dinner together, shall we? Our favorite thing to do is play with toys, lounge with each other, and receive gentle bits of affection from our human friends. We are low-maintenance little pals who have the utmost thanks for being rescued. We are hoping to hop our way into the hearts of those seeking humble, hilarious, outgoing, and kind house-friends. We would love to be your vegetable-eating sidekicks.

About Me: Hi, I’m Zeus and I love to play, but deep down inside I am a big snuggle bug. I’m looking for a home that will have a little patience with me as I learn humans aren’t all scary. I’m looking forward to finding my forever home.

From the Foster Family: This little guy is a great side kick if you’re looking for a little buddy. He loves spending time with his humans. He is also great with other dogs big or small. He is learning how to walk on a leash as walking is a new adventure for him. He enjoys running and chasing the other dogs along with balls in the yard. He is highly food motivated learning very quickly basic demands with treats. He does very well in the kennel during the day and sleeps all night as long as you give him his big plush bear to cuddle with. (bear included with adoption)

About Me: Hello my name is Bo, I am looking for my forever home. I like to play with my toys and chase a balls. My absolute favorite thing is treats I will do anything for a little snack. I do like hanging with my dog friends. I also like a good cuddle with my big bear that keeps me company when my humans are away. I like going on walks as I love sniffing out everything around me. I get really excited to go on car rides to find out what my next adventure is. If I sound like your next best little buddy, please set up a meet!

Bo is scheduled to get neutered in early December and can transfer to his adoptive home at that time.

Hello I'm Symphony and I am looking for my forever home. I like to spend my days playing with my humans, chasing balls, and discovering new dog toys. I love learning new tricks like sit and waiting patiently for my food, but my favorite rewards are found in my fosters pocket. My new foster family has three resident dogs that I love to run and play with in the yard. When my foster family is away I don't mind resting on my dog bed in the kennel.

Aladdin enjoying his new toy. 🥰 Adopt Aladdin @ www.mendingspirits.org

SPEECHLESS. 😭💕 This is today’s shipment of litter…JUST TODAYS! We can’t thank all of you enough for the support. Most days are hard for us to get through the day with the amount of work on our plates besides the amount of need in our community. We are all unpaid volunteers that have jobs, families and live events outside of MSAR. It’s the reminder that we have a backing of love and support to push on and keep pulling for these animals in need. Thank you first and foremost to our fosters for being the backbone of this organization. 💪 Without our volunteers and community backing, we are NOTHING. ***ALSO, THANK YOU is well deserved to our delivery person/person’s …we are so sorry! 😬 Thank you for the love and litter. 💕🐾

He is so smart and “food driven”. So, he has taken to leash training and simple commands within days. He does great sleeping through the night and holding his bladder. Keeko has such a kind, tender spirit. He loves pup-cups and treats! We feel that Keeko would do best in a home that has another dog, he is a social butterfly and truly loves having a dog friend around. About Me: Hi! I’m Keeko! I was dumped in the woods with my brothers when I was really young… So, I am slowly learning what having a family and living “the good life” is all about! I get scared at first with new things. But, I am quickly finding out that I have nothing to fear. I love treats and snuggling and going for walks! My biggest wish is to find a family that can spoil me for the rest of my days. Could that be you?

Tunie is one of our available rabbits!

My name is Tunie, Que tiktok sound bite- I’m looking for a man (human) in finance (any job) 6’5 (any height), blue eyes (any eye color), trust fund (I mean who wouldn’t want one) ... Just Kidding, I’d love a human that is respectful of my boundaries, likes to stock fresh greens, someone who likes to watch me do cool jumps... oh, and helps me maintain my clean-living area. I’m observant and shy, at least until I’ve gotten to know you. I currently have my own room and I love all the space. I’d love to find a forever home where I can eventually free roam, I am curious and would like to explore once I’m comfortable. I like to play (in my own way). My favorite game is when my foster lady sits with me, I like to nudge her as if I want her to pet me but as soon as she reaches to pet me, I run away, ha-ha. I also like to sneak up while she’s reading or doing sudoku and nibble on her book… sometimes I even sit on her book... For some reason she thinks this means I want to be pet- but nope I’m just playing. Oh, some of my favorite things, I have a little cardboard house that I love to nap in during the day and two tunnels that I run laps in throughout the night. Occasionally some of the resident animals visit me, I don’t mind because they’re quiet and stay on the other side of the gate. Sometimes I like to show them my jumping tricks, but most of the time they’re boring and leave when I ignore them. I am fine being a solo bunny but could maybe bond with another bunny. However, I was picked on /attacked before so I am defensive with other male bunnies, but I might like a lady friend. I enjoy eating hay, nibbling on pellets, and enjoying fresh greens. My favorite special treat has been bits of apple and freeze-dried banana slices. I’d love to find my forever family!

These sweet puppies were born 6/26 and are resting up and will be ready to find their forever homes soon! Mama Hailey is a possible a collie-heeler mix and we believe dad may be a pyranees mix but he is unknown

This is Gus our MSAR alumni living his best life with one of our foster parents Morgan who adopted him! 🐢❤️

8 months and waiting… Hi there human, My name is Chalupa and it’s so lovely to meet you! I’m from a loving home, but unfortunately, my kitty pal didn’t want to be my friend as much as I wanted to be theirs. That’s okay and I’m looking for a new adventure! I’ve adjusted well to my foster home and I haven’t had a single potty accident. I have always had free roam of my space and would love to find a home that would offer me that same freedom. Being stuck in my cage is so not my thing. I’m polite and gentle. I would never bite! I am curious and a little playful. My favorite thing is trying new garden fresh treats. I’ll calmly nibble treats in your lap. I accept some petting, but I prefer not to be held. I love a calm and quiet environment with plenty of enrichment to keep me occupied. I’m a smart lady and I’ll warm up to you quickly. I’m so ready to find my forever home.. if that is with you, please send an application my way.

We are currently kept in an enclosure with generous space available to us to explore, which we enjoy very much. We would do best in a home as a pair it’s a requirement that we stay together because we are a father and son pair. One may ask how we landed ourselves in a foster-based rescue...unfortunately, our loving mom had to shift herself to a location that didn't allow pets. We were her pride and joy and she loved us very much and we love her too. We are kind, gentle beings and quite honestly very laid back! We enjoy greeting our human friends with welcome coos and love when they sit with us in our space provided. We are healthy eaters. Some of our favorite foods are- pellets, seeds, and fresh veggies! We love foraging and exploring. Our favorite thing to do is explore, coo, preen our feathers, take warm baths, and receive gentle bits of affection from our human friends. We are low-maintenance little pals who have the utmost thanks for being rescued. We hope to fly our way into the hearts of those seeking humble, peaceful, outgoing, and kind house-friends.

Thanks to Pet Expo Mankato for allowing us to be part of Puppy Day and of course for the pupcups! And Thank You to everyone that came out to visit us today! It was a great turn out 🙂

My name is Tinsel and I traveled to Minnesota from Alabama with my siblings. I have been living with my foster family by myself now that my siblings have been adopted. I spend my days playing with three big dogs, playing with my toys, and exploring the outdoors. I love to get outside anytime I get the chance! I have been working on basic commands and have shown great improvement over the past few weeks. My foster mom uses treats and I LOVE a good treat, so I am willing to work hard for her. When I am not playing with my foster siblings or my foster family, I am content chewing on a good bone or basking in the sunshine. I no longer have accidents in my kennel and that makes life so much easier! My foster mom is proud of all my progress. She is always telling me what an easy keeper I am to have around. While I love my foster family, I am hoping to find my forever home soon! If you are interested in learning more about me and meeting me in person, please complete an application. I hope we get to meet very soon!

Our Story

The bridge between; for an animal in need. Never alone and forever in a home.

Mending Spirits Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3) 100 percent volunteer foster based animal rescue in Mankato, MN founded in October 2013. Our foster homes are located in Mankato MN and other surrounding areas. We serve vast communities in need throughout Minnesota and all over the United States. Mending Spirits Animal Rescue is a team composed of committed volunteers, foster homes, licensed veterinarians, trainers, groomers and educators. We are able to successfully rescue animals from animal impound, high kill facilities, owner surrenders, strays and puppy mills then place them into well-paired, permanent homes. We serve as a rescue for the community, while we educate and advocate: responsible pet ownership, enable pet retention, over population control, spaying/neutering, behavioral management, training, proper preventative, and maintenance care.

MENDING SPIRITS is a non-profit (501(c)3), foster based, animal rescue that serves everyone. This means all of our animals are in foster homes with loving volunteers, in Mankato and the surrounding area. We do NOT have a shelter or facility that holds operating hours.
