MISSION
STATEMENT
Beltrami Humane Society is committed to serving the best interest
of the animals we strive to
protect. |
|
| |
| VISION STATEMENT: "Beltrami Humane Society is dedicated to operating an animal shelter for the purpose of finding a quality forever home for each animal we serve, encouraging a community of responsible companion animal guardians, eliminating the community's need to euthanize dogs and cats as a means of population control, and promoting a society where companion animals become more valued." |
| |
| We are proud
to be one of the few “No - Kill”
shelters in the United States. The “No
- Kill” policy ensures that we
do not euthanize animals on a routine
basis in order to make room for other
animals. Animals are euthanized only
when they are considered unadoptable.
Animals are considered unadoptable when
the animal exhibits aggressive or biting
behavior, health issues involve animal
suffering, or when the cost to maintain
health would interfere with the organization's
ability to help more animals. |
| Since inception in
1977, the Beltrami Humane Society has
helped over 10,000 animals with a second
chance at life. We are very proud of
these and other efforts which have made
our dream a reality and now allows us
to provide even greater quality service
for more than 500 animals per year. |

| We built our current
facility in 2000. Mike Hesch, from Hesch
Construction, volunteered his services
for this project, and we are eternally
grateful for his generosity. The Humane
Society was able to raise $165,000 of
the necessary $225,000 for the project.
A loan was taken out for the remaining
costs, which is slowly being paid off,
largely by donations. If you would be
able to help our shelter by making a
tax-deductible donation or by volunteering,
please know your help is greatly appreciated
and needed. |
| The
Beltrami Humane Society is a very special
place, and we are committed to helping
those who have no voice to speak for
themselves.
