Ten years ago, I met Mr. Gant when he invited me into his classroom at Trenton Elementary School. Since then, we’ve collaborated every year to ensure his students learn about Mondak Animal Rescue.

This year, Mr. Gant's 2nd-grade class wanted to get even more involved! The students created artwork, and we’ve narrowed it down to the top 7 pieces. Now, we need your help to pick the winner!

The artwork with the most likes will be featured on apparel or a fun swag item sold at the shelter.

**Here’s how to vote:**
- **Like** the picture you want to win.
- Voting starts today (Monday) and ends this Friday at 8 PM.

We also have the artwork displayed at the shelter, where votes from in-person likes will be counted too.

Thank you for supporting these talented young artists and helping us make this project a success!

Help Us Make a Difference – Seeking Auction Items for All Fur Love

As we prepare for our Annual All Fur Love Event this February, we’re reaching out to our amazing community for help in making this our most impactful year yet. To achieve our goal of saving even more lives in 2025, we’re looking for silent and live auction items that can help us raise vital funds for Mondak Animal Rescue.

Your generosity could make all the difference. Every item donated—big or small—helps us continue providing second chances to the animals who need it most. Whether it’s a unique experience, gift basket, service, or handmade treasure, your contribution could be the key to giving another animal a chance at life.

Mondak Animal Rescue touches the lives of over 1,000 animals each year, and we rely solely on donations, grants, and fundraisers like this to keep our doors open. Every dollar raised at this event helps us cover critical costs such as medical care, spay/neuter programs, and daily shelter needs. With so many shelters across the country facing closure, we are determined to remain a glimpse of hope for animals in need—but we cannot do it alone.

If you can commit to donating an auction item, you’ll be making an immediate and lasting impact. Please reach out to us to coordinate your donation—we’d love to showcase your contribution at our All-Fur Love event!

Let’s come together and raise our paws for the animals who depend on us every day. Thank you for your support and compassion—it means the world to us and the animals we serve.

Adopt a Cat!

We’re showcasing 16 of the cats currently available for adoption at Mondak Animal Rescue. But these 16 are just the beginning—we have over 50 cats in our care right now! That’s a lot for our dedicated staff to care for daily, and it’s overwhelming for the cats who deserve loving homes.

****** We’re on intake hold for cats until several find their forever families. Why? Because we’re full—our adoption floor is full, our back area is full, and our building is full.

We know it’s tempting to get a “free” cat off social media, but in reality, no cat is truly free. They need:
-Medical care
-Vaccinations
-Spay or neuter procedures

Each cat that comes to our shelter receives an estimated $300 in medical care, NOT INCLUDING daily food, water, and supplies. By adopting from us, you’re not just welcoming a pet into your home—you’re:

Saving lives
Preventing overbreeding
Supporting a shelter that cares for animals in need

We have cats of every personality, color, and age waiting for you! Whether you’re looking for a playful kitten or a calm senior cat, we have the perfect companion for your family.

🐾 Please adopt—these cats deserve homes. Your support helps us continue our mission of rescue and care. Stop by and meet our amazing cats this week during our business hours. Our website is full of information and how you can adopt.

****PENDING ADOPTION

**Transformation Thursday**

In animal rescue, we see it all—the good, the bad, and the heartbreaking. But through it all, we love each and every one. Every animal that enters our facility gets a chance at a new, better life. We work hard to match the right family with each animal, and while it’s not always perfect, most of the time we get it right.

Meet Ronnie, our latest "before and after" success story. This sweet middle-aged guy was one of the worst cases of grooming neglect we've seen in a while. His smell filled the room, and his fur was so matted that he must have been in constant pain and could barely see. At first, he was labeled as aggressive—but the truth was, he was simply hurting and uncomfortable.

With patience and care, we removed his matted fur bit by bit to relieve his discomfort, and Ronnie’s true personality began to shine through. Now, he's ready to find a loving family who will keep him groomed and cared for. We know there will be some disappointed applicants because everyone who meets him falls in love, but he deserves the best of the best.

Ronnie is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccinations, and ready to start his new life. Place an adoption application today and give this deserving boy the fresh start he’s been waiting for!

www.mondakanimalrescue.org

*Please read everything about how to adopt. We want to talk to you in person, we want to make sure your not impulse adopting . Want the good and bad days! Do an application and come in and visit with our pets. Get to know them and love them like we do so we know your 100% committed. Come twice! We are seeing an influx in adoption returns and it breaks our hearts to see so many giving up on the puppies when they are puppies or the adults who need time to decompress.

Today 30 of our dogs got a special treat

Chris who is one of our supporters and has even adopted from our facility dropped off some bones fresh from Yellow Stone River Beef.

Our dogs absolutely loved them, and this has been a great treat for them to have today!

Thank you Chris for thinking of the dogs in our care

11/12/2024

All of these wonderful dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and waiting for a family to call their own. Some have been with us for over a year, and we’re reaching out because **shelters across North Dakota are in a true crisis.**

The calls never stop—adoption returns, owner surrenders, pounds begging us to pull dogs to save them from euthanasia. Now, more than ever, we need **dedicated adopters** who are ready to open their hearts and homes for a lifetime commitment.

Rescuing a dog isn’t always easy; there will be hard days and challenges, but every moment is worth it. In choosing to adopt, you’re not just saving a life—you’re giving these dogs a chance at a future filled with love, stability, and happiness.

**Can you be a forever home?** Someone who will stick by them, through both the good and bad days? If so, please take a look at the dogs in this post and even more on our website. Let’s work together to keep saving lives and make room for those still waiting.

Adopt. Commit for a lifetime. Save a life.

On Monday night, after another long day of animal rescue, I came across a post on Facebook from our local animal control team. They had been trying to capture a terrified stray dog for over two weeks with no success. My heart sank. This sweet girl had been roaming near the local pound, a place she’d likely been abandoned, waiting loyally and in fear for her people to come back. Sadly, no one was looking for her. I knew right away that I had to step in.

I reached out to my small but mighty team and asked if they were ready to help bring her to safety. They immediately agreed, knowing the challenge but also the importance of getting her out of danger.

On Tuesday morning, Angel and I met up with two animal control officers to get a better idea of where she was staying, and, sure enough, we spotted her. She looked at us, and in a flash of fear, she ran and hid.

We stayed close, quietly watching her patterns, studying her every move. This scared pup had found refuge near a local business, whose generous owner gave us permission to use his yard, buildings, and property however we needed to set up a safe capture spot.

We placed fresh food, water, and a cozy bed in an enclosed area, hoping she’d trust it as her little safe zone.

By Wednesday morning, just after 6:20 a.m., we refreshed the food, settled in, and waited. She was wary, watching us from a distance, inching closer but running the moment anyone approached. She’d even tease us by getting close to the setup before fleeing in fear. Hours went by until finally, she gathered her courage, approached, and entered the trap. I’ll never forget the look in her eyes as she realized she was safe—those eyes told us she was scared, yet somehow grateful.

We gently loaded her up and brought her to the shelter, and the moment we opened the trap, she crawled right over to Precious, one of my wonderful helpers from the day, and just melted in her arms. It was as if she knew she was safe and that we’d spent these last 48 hours tirelessly working to save her. She went around to each of us, giving her “thank you” in the best way she knew how.

Later, I caught a heartwarming moment of our youngest boss, Kinzlee, and her friend Kylie sitting with her on the floor, showering her with love and comfort. She let out a soft cry—her way of telling us she was finally at peace, no longer alone, and grateful to be safe.

This experience is a reminder of what rescue is all about—community, teamwork, and the power of people coming together for a cause.

We couldn’t have done it without our amazing community:
• Our Community Resource Officers who trusted us to step in and take on the rescue
• Tavish Vestal for giving us full access to his property, ensuring she had a safe place on his property
• Lisa for the fresh home-cooked food she wouldn’t touch any of the other dog food
• And our incredible team members Angel and Precious, who stayed with me every step of the way

We may be a small team, but we are mighty. This girl is safe today because of the love, dedication, and support from each one of us.

Every life matters, and when we work together, another deserving soul finds safety. Thank you for standing by us in this mission to save lives, one rescue at a time.

A Heartfelt Thank You from us all at Mondak Animal Rescue:

We are beyond grateful to our incredible community and everyone who generously contributed to Malone’s surgery. Thanks to your support, we were able to begin his much-needed treatment sooner than expected!

Malone and his sister Mable came to us as a rescue transfer, and we quickly realized Malone was born with a condition that would require double TPLO surgery to ensure he could live a pain-free life. Under Dr. Folden’s compassionate care, we kept him comfortable until a specialist could come to Williston to perform the surgery.

Yesterday marked a big milestone as Malone completed phase one of his treatment! He spent the night at the vet clinic and returned to us this morning. Over the coming weeks, he’ll be closely monitored with follow-ups at the two-week and eight-week marks, while taking three different medications to aid his recovery.

Though Malone and Mable have been successfully adopted, their wonderful new family has entrusted us with his recovery since their home has many stairs. And because the two are so closely bonded, Mable will stay with us as well to keep her brother company through this healing journey.

From all of us at Mondak Animal Rescue, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this possible! Your donations and kindness are helping Malone look forward to a bright future with minimal pain. We are so lucky to have such a supportive community! 🐾

*Pictures are from this morning after I picked him up from the vet clinic and all meds given. He was ready for his morning nap! Lots of rest for Malone.

Our shelter is a blessing to this community, but we can’t save them all... not without YOU. Every day, we face tough decisions out here. Dozens of owner surrenders, found stray dogs/cats and calls from high-kill facilities pour in, asking for our help. We want to say yes to them all but know we can't.......until we have the space. And that space only opens up when we find homes for the animals here, waiting patiently for their second chance. Today one lucky dog may get the chance to a forever home. The rest? They're still waiting for YOU. Please consider adopting and remember – whether you adopt or buy, no puppy/dog adjusts right away. Be patient, give them time to feel safe, and make it last forever. #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #ShelterDog #SecondChance #MondakAnimalRescue"

I have not figured out how to post more than one video at a time 🤔 Clearly I am not tech savvy, and unfortunately no-one else in our building is either ha! But we sure try....... It's an extremely slow work in progress, and another set of kennels is complete and the turf is now usable in our dog adoption area so I took the opportunity to set up the pools, and add some toys to the water and let me tell you...the dogs had an absolute blast. Everyone was playing and enjoying the water and the best part is....NO MUDD to clean up after we made a mess in the water *These are all adoption dogs* *If anyone has any spare pools around I promise our dogs will love them and you 🥰 I will try adding more videos in the comment section
