Star of the North Humane Society/Animal Shelter started helping animals in 1978; we officially organized in 1980. For more than 28 years, we have served Itasca County, as well as areas of bordering counties where there are no available animal shelters or humane societies. Star of the North is a no-kill facility; time limits are not placed on an animal's stay. Our focus is to rescue animals that are homeless or lost, abused or neglected. We tend to their physical and emotional needs while in our care, spay or neuter and vaccinate them, then find loving, forever homes for them. Through the unwavering dedication of a small group of volunteers and part-time caretakers, every year several hundred companion animals are placed in homes or reunited with their families. Due to a continuing pet overpopulation crisis, however, our shelter is always filled with many wonderful dogs, cats, puppies and kittens waiting for loving, forever homes.
