About HEADING HOME K9 RESCUE

Heading Home K9 Rescue is a Minneapolis-based, independent, no-kill 501(c)(3) animal rescue focused on rescuing and placing homeless and unwanted dogs, with particular emphasis on former puppy-mill dogs, seniors, large mixed-breed dogs, and special-needs animals. The organization's EIN (27-5454112) and 501(c)(3) status (ruling date 2011) were confirmed by public nonprofit filings; it operates primarily via a foster network and adoption program and relies on adoption fees, fundraising, and donor support rather than government funding. Recent public records and adoption-listing platforms show active program operations within the last 2–3 years (including Form 990 reporting through 2022 and current listings on Petfinder/Adoptapet), indicating ongoing rescue, veterinary care, and placement activity.
