Meet Barkley, Havana, Nash, and Biscuit (Oh and Sarge who is not apart of this litter wanted to join in on the pictures and find his home too)– The Cutest Puppies Ready for Their Forever Homes!

These four adorable pups are the last of their seven siblings, and they can't wait to find loving families. Born at our shelter in April, Barkley, Havana, Nash, and Biscuit have grown up here, but now it's time for them to experience the joy of a forever home.

Each puppy is already spayed or neutered and up-to-date on all vaccinations. All they need is a chance to be loved and trained in whichever direction you choose. With the right care, they'll become loyal and loving companions.

Adopting a pet does more than just give that animal a home – it also frees up space in our shelter, allowing us to rescue and care for more animals in need.

Visit our website at www.mondakanimalrescue.org to view other adoptable animals.

Come meet Barkley, Havana, Nash, and Biscuit during our business hours. Adopt one of these precious puppies and change a life – or five!

We at Mondak Animal Rescue would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Hanson for her compassion and care as we laid our beloved Dixie to rest. We are also grateful to Seth Coughlin of Precious Paws Precious Paws for donating his time and services, ensuring that Dixie could be cremated and returned to where she belongs.

Words cannot fully express how much we appreciate both of these incredible businesses for the kindness and support they've shown us, not just during this difficult time, but in all they do for our shelter and the community at large.

We also want to extend our thanks to Mark Wrolson for his assistance in picking up Dixie and bringing her back to the shelter.

Today was one of those days you dread more than any words can be typed or said!

It was a decision we did not take lightly and was very hard to make, but her legs just didn't work anymore. She had zero mobility of her rear legs and her one front leg gave out also.

Dixie-Doo crossed over to the rainbow bridge 💔

Four years ago, our shelter was the meeting grounds for an out-of-town adoption.

I still remember the day as if it was yesterday that Dixie trotted into the community room, where she ended up staying for a couple weeks because she would only let me come near her. She was fearful of humans and was a little nippy. Anytime someone entered she would pace the room and snarl at you.

The Family who arranged to meet her and take her into their home were unable too after Dixie bit their young daughter in the face. It was then decided we would try working with her and get her ready for adoption through our shelter. We obtained her medical records and saw she recently had a TBI from a horse kick to the head. We took her to see the wonderful Dr. Folden where we discovered she still had blood build up from the TBI and was diagnosed with Wobblers Disease also.

I spent hours with Dixie, even bringing her home to my house to work on her issues. She would attack my dogs and run off every chance she got, and if you called her she stopped looked at you, and would walk away from us (I'm laughing now, as if you ever got the chance to know Dixie, you know she did this all the way up until last week).

We tried finding someone to adopt her, but no applications came and those that did were not interested in the medical care she needed for the Wobblers.

It was decided she would live her very best life here and it was almost immediate that her and Richard would be the strongest pair of bonded dogs I have ever seen. They had a bond that leaves us unable to describe unless you got the privilege to know them. Richard was her protector, and Dixie was the foster mom to hundreds of puppies.

Dixie lived 4 wonderful years with us, and she kept us on all Dixies time. We had to feed her special food, in a special way. When she had to go potty, she was unable to bend her rear legs so she would walk and potty and we would just go behind her and clean her up. If she saw the door was open, she would take off trotting through the parking lot and sniff every tree she trotted across.

She loved walks at Spring Lake Park or playing on the equipment.

She never turned down a good snack

She had to have her bed the way she likes it and in the spot she liked or she would p**p on said bed until you moved it where she wanted 🤣

Dixie was a wonderful companion to all who knew her, and she was loved more than words could even be typed by all who worked here at the shelter.

We will miss our Dixie Girl
Richard will miss his best friend
And our little boss will hold her memories close and miss her more than words can say too!

Dixie-Doo
August 8th, 2016-August 16th, 2024

Also, Thank you to Dr. Hanson for making this trip to the shelter and being patient with all of us and letting Kinzlee have a moment with Dixie. We appreciate you!

Found:

This young cat wondered into a yard where the dogs are not too impressed with their new visitor so the cat was brought inside for now.

Do you know who owns me?

Found just a few blocks east of University Ave

Please share!

We would like to give a shout out to Cash Wise in Williston for their generous donation of a pallet of Purina Dog Food for the shelter dogs!

We are thrilled to announce that MonDak Animal Rescue has proudly received a plaque stating that we are a NO KILL shelter!

The Best Friends Network has presented us with an award recognizing our achievement of no-kill status for the 2023 calendar year for both cats and dogs.

We take this recognition with pride as we continuously strive to save lives. We often rescue dogs that are overlooked by others due to behavior issues, health issues, or even age. We accept any type of dog or cat into our rescue because we believe all dogs and cats deserve a chance.

None of this would be possible without our hardworking team, the supportive community, and those who choose to adopt a furry friend. Thank you all for making this incredible milestone achievable!

Rescue Work Never Ends

This seasoned momma dog just delivered her last litter of puppies. Since it’s her last litter, we can let it slide that she gave us such a big litter of puppies!

As you can see, she has lacked human attention and was neglected. That life is now officially behind her. She will know nothing but love now. The Boss has already been loving on her and her babies. She told me there is 6 boys and 4 girls.

Our rescue continues to open our doors to those who cannot speak for themselves. We are currently running at max capacity and cannot take on any more animals. If you’re looking to adopt, please view our available pets on our website. Your adoption helps us rescue more dogs and cats in need.

Thank you for your continued support! ❤️

🐾 Thank You for Your Incredible Support! 🐾

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and joy. What began as a stressful week with our credit card being compromised turned into a heartwarming display of generosity and support from our amazing community. Starting at 8 AM, you showed up with dog food donations, filling our shelves and our hearts.

Your kindness ensures that every pet in our care will have plenty to eat, and we can't thank you enough for your swift and generous response. The outpouring of support we've received is truly inspiring, and we're continually amazed by the compassion and dedication of our community.

Words can't express how grateful we are, but we hope this picture of some of our furry friends, surrounded by the donations, captures just a bit of the joy and relief you've brought to our shelter.

From all of us, both two-legged and four-legged, thank you for being such an incredible part of our shelter family.

P.S. For those of you who follow and love Richard as much as we do, he wanted to be in the picture too. He is a Dane that many of you love too

🐾Help Needed: Dog Food Donations 🐾

We're reaching out to you today with a request for help.

Unfortunately, our shelter's business credit card was compromised, and we're unable to restock our dog food supplies until a new card arrives. This unexpected situation has left our shelves nearly empty, and with seven new arrivals today, on top of the full kennels we have of other dogs, we're running dangerously low on food.

Last of our puppy food is in the bins.
Only two bags of adult food left.

We never intended to be in this position, but we need your help to ensure our furry friends have enough to eat. If you're able to donate dog food, whether it's a small bag or a bigger bag, it would make a huge difference. Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue providing for these wonderful animals who depend on us.

Please consider lending a paw and bringing donation of Purina One Dog Food or Purina One Puppy Food to our shelter. Your support means the world to us and the animals we care for.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness and generosity. Our four-legged friends will be forever grateful, and we deeply appreciate your understanding during this time.

We received a call last night about a kitten found in Watford City from a resident who just returned home from vacation and noticed this young fellow in their yard.

They reached out for help knowing he was in pour condition and set up a time for the kitten to be brought to our facility.

I knew the moment I saw him, he had a bad case of ring worm, but I will be honest, never in my time of rescue have I seen a kitten this covered in ringworm along with other problems.

The kitten not only has the worst case possible of ringworm, he also has infection and bad case of worms, diareah etc.

We have reached out to Dr. Hanson at Western Vet and have a medical plan in place for him and we expect a full recovery in a few months.

Ringworm is time consuming and risky for our shelter to take on, but we are confident he deserves the best.

As always we cannot stress the importance of spaying and neutering!!

We still have our vouchers that will help assist in spaying and neutering. This is a community effort to help curve all of these unwanted litters.

Thank you to the good Samaritan who held onto the kitten for the evening until we were able to prepare for the kittens arrival today

As always, thank you Western Vet for always being there for our shelter and the animals we care for!!

***We are currently trying the litter of kittens on a mom who had just weaned her kittens-we are hopeful. The mom was cleaning them and trying to care for them.

**Important Reminder: Don't Dump Your Pets and SPAY AND NEUTER!!!**

This morning, a gentleman left a litter of newborn kittens outside our grooming door. These tiny kittens are still dependent on their mom for survival. Since they were healthy, it's clear their mom has been caring for them.

However, by leaving them at our grooming door without informing us, we missed the chance to ask vital questions that could help us reunite these kittens with their mother. Now, these kittens face an uncertain future, as bottle feeding is extremely time-consuming and challenging.

Even though we are an animal shelter, dumping animals at our door without notice is not the correct way to handle the situation.

We will do our best to care for them, but please, do not leave animals at our grooming door without speaking to us first. Let's work together to ensure every animal gets the proper care they need.

If you recognize the gentleman who was in such a rush to leave these kittens at the grooming door, please let us know. The kittens will have a better chance with their mom, then us bottle feeding.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

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

We were able to pickup Nala today from Western Vet after her procedure.

She is adjusting extremely well if you ask us.

She is such a happy little puppy considering all she has been through.

Thank you all for the prayers for her and helping assist with her medical expenses.

It is greatly appreciated by us all

Now onto recovery and hopefully finding the perfect home 🥰

****Update: Owner has been found....pending pickup as of this morning! Thanks for tagging and sharing so owner could be located

Found:

Can you help us located the owner of this sweet dog.

This dog showed up this evening in a yard in Trenton not far off the main road.

The dog is safe with the founder and we will scan for a micro-chip tomorrow.

Please share in hope of reuniting with owner

07/16/2024

This evening, a Good Samaritan brought in a puppy she found west of town. The puppy had severe wounds, and she believed it might have been attacked by a coyote. We immediately contacted Dr. Folden at Western Vet.

After further examination, it was decided that I could treat, clean the wounds, and get the puppy stable until she can see Dr. Folden tomorrow. Upon closer inspection, I believe the injuries might be due to barbed wire or something similar.

The puppy is severely dehydrated and underweight and covered in fleas on top of her infected wounds. We've cleaned and wrapped her wounds, started fluids, and given her medication. Dr. Folden noted that she might need a toe amputation.

For now, she is safe, very loved, and as comfortable as she can be considering her condition. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the lady who found this poor puppy and brought her to us safely. Also, a big thank you to Dr. Folden for always being there and answering our distress calls.

We will take all the prayers for our little Nala.

*If anyone is missing this sweet girl, please let us know. She was found near the state line.*

🐾 Help Our Shelter, Help Them! 🐾

We understand that many shelters in North Dakota are facing tough times, and we’re all doing our best. The calls, emails, and Facebook messages keep coming, with countless pets needing new homes. We wish we could help them all, but we simply can't. It’s overwhelming, and we need your help.

Adoption is the Key:
For our shelter to welcome new arrivals, we need adoptions to happen. Whether you adopt from us or another source, remember that owning a pet is a lifelong commitment.

Ready for a New Family Member?
We’re looking for people ready to make a lifetime commitment to a new 4-legged family member.

🐕 Featured Pets: Duke and Pippa

Duke: A Shepherd-Lab mix, neutered, friendly with all people, and perfect for an active family.
Pippa: Shy at first but very loyal. Needs to be on a leash outside as she can jump fences to stay close to you. She doesn’t run off; she just wants to be with you.

🐱 Long-Term Residents Need Love:
We have several cats just like Rebekah and Gracie who have been with us for a year and deserve a loving family.

Behavior Issues? We Can Help!
If your pet is experiencing behavior issues, trainers in Williston, Minot, and surrounding communities are ready to assist. Reach out for help and follow through. We have their numbers on hand at the shelter.

🔖 Spay and Neuter Vouchers:
If your pet isn’t spayed or neutered, we have vouchers for discounted rates at participating vet clinics in Williston. Stopping unwanted litters in key to reducing the number of pets sitting in shelters every day.

Spread the Word:
Unable to adopt? You can still help by sharing our posts and website so others can see the pets in need of homes.

www.mondakanimalrescu.org

Donations Needed:
Our shelter always needs Purina Dog Food, Purina Puppy Food, Purina Cat and Kitten Food, and Cat litter.

🙏 Can You Help Us, Help Them?
Every share, donation, and adoption makes a difference. Let’s work together to give these pets the loving homes they deserve.

Happy Tail Adoptions

We had a great day Friday

Several people welcomed a new rescue pet into their home!

Nothing we love more then pawsitive adoptions 🥰

07/04/2024

At Mondak Animal Rescue, we are dedicated to providing loving homes for our adoptable cats and dogs. Currently, we are at maximum capacity with over 85 animals in our care. To continue our mission and accept more owner surrenders and animals from local pounds, we depend on our community to adopt their new forever companions.

Why Adopt Now?

*Summer Companions: Despite the busy summer season, now is a great time to welcome a new furry friend into your home.

*Adoption Returns: We have experienced a higher rate than normal of adoption returns due to relocations and time constraints. Remember, adopting a pet is a lifelong commitment, and they deserve a permanent, loving home.

*Featured Pets:

Mable: A sweet female Shar-Pei in need of a loving home. She is spayed, utd on vaccinations and kennel trained.

Clair: The most well-behaved Yellow Lab you’ll ever meet. LOVES attention. Kennel and house trained. She is also spayed and current on all vaccinations.

How to Help:

*Visit Us: Check out all our adoptable pets at www.mondakanimalrescue.org

Stop By: Come visit us during business hours to meet our animals and find your new family member.

Adopt Responsibly: If you’ve submitted an adoption application, please follow through by visiting the shelter and meeting the pet you’re interested in.

Important Reminder:
We are a no-kill shelter, which means we cannot take on more animals until more adoptions occur. Please consider opening your heart and home to one of our many deserving pets.

Do you have room in your heart and time in your family to adopt a new dog or cat? If so, we have plenty to choose from. Visit our website or stop by the shelter today!

Thank you for supporting Mondak Animal Rescue and helping us find forever homes for our furry friends.
