THE BOND BETWEEN PC

The Bond Between (formerly Secondhand Hounds) is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) animal well-being organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes dogs and cats while also supporting people who need help keeping their pets. Founded in 2009, the organization has grown from a traditional rescue into a multi-program nonprofit operating adoption and foster networks, a community pet food shelf, tribal wellness clinics, respite foster care, and a veterinary clinic. The organization emphasizes keeping people and pets together through direct services (pet food shelf, community clinics, respite foster care), targeted tribal partnerships, and specialty medical and hospice care for animals. In recent years The Bond Between has expanded community-facing programs and partnerships, distributed large volumes of pet food to families in need, and presented its work at national animal welfare gatherings.
