Welcome to the

Circle of Friends Humane Society!

The Circle of Friends Humane Society gives pets of all kinds a second chance for a permanent, loving home.  It’s the second chance they all deserve.

But we can’t do it alone. The responsibility for lost, unwanted animals rests with us all.  That responsibility includes:      

  • Adopting a shelter pet
  • Learning about the responsibiities of committed pet ownership
  • Teaching our children respect for all          creatures      
  • Reporting animal neglect/abuse to local   law enforcment officials
  • Contacting legislators and encouraging them to pass more protective humane treatment laws      

We are all entrusted with the protection of those unable to care for themselves, human and non-huamn alike.

TAKE ACTION! YOU CAN HELP CHANGE ND HUMANE TREATMENT LAWS!

  • Be heard!!  All year long!!   It's up to each and every one of us, not just humane societies, to lobby for change through our legislators. Tell them how important it is to implement more protective humane treatment laws. 
  • North Dakota currently has only misdemeanor level penalties for even the most severe animal cruelty, making it one of only five states without a felony level penalty for this crime.  Felony level penalties are essential for protecting animals from abuse. 
  • New legislation is absolutely vital to make North Dakota the next state with felony level penalties for animal cruelty!

The park will not have an attendant on duty so responsible pet owners only please! Never leave dogs unattended in the park! Help us make this park an enjoyable experience for all those who use it.  Follow the posted rules, pick up after your pet and be considerate of others. 

Improvements/additions in the park will be made as donations for those improvements are received from those who use the park.

Pet photos and descriptions are updated weekly.  Some pets may have already been adopted between updates.  Please call before visiting to see if the pet you are interested in is still available for adoption, 701-775-3732. Thank you for adopting a pet

All Year Long...

Please remember local animal shelters and the work they do for your community.  Often animal shelters are maligned because of the agonizing decisions made due to the actions of irresponsible pet owners.Remind friends, families and neighbors to spay/neuter  pets, confine pets appropriately, and obey state and local laws regarding proper pet care.Thank your local shelter staff for doing a difficult and heartbreaking job!
