South Dakota’s wide-open prairies, Mount Rushmore country, and Badlands landscapes are home to a resilient animal rescue community spread across Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and rural communities throughout the state. Rescues here often serve large geographic territories with limited resources, making community support and the decision to adopt a pet especially valuable to the local shelter animals in their care. If you’re looking to make a difference in South Dakota, local rescue organizations are grateful for every adopter who opens their heart and home to a shelter animal.
