North Dakota Animals In Need (NDAIN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, foster-based animal rescue organization based in Lincoln and serving the Bismarck area. The rescue is dedicated to saving, rehabilitating, and rehoming stray, neglected, and abandoned companion pets, including domestic cats and kittens. Working entirely through a network of volunteer foster homes, they ensure all rescues receive necessary medical care, vaccinations, and spay/neuter services before finding permanent homes.
Adoption fees vary by animal and cover routine veterinary care, vaccinations, and spay/neuter services.
Adopters must submit an approved application, agree to provide indoor housing and proper veterinary care, and ensure spay/neuter compliance if adopting an unaltered young kitten.
Prospective adopters submit an adoption application online or via email, followed by application screening, reference/veterinary checks, and a scheduled meet-and-greet arranged through the foster parent prior to finalizing the adoption agreement.
No, North Dakota Animals In Need operates entirely as a foster-based rescue organization. Animals reside in private volunteer foster homes throughout the community until adopted.
Yes, all animals are provided with appropriate medical care, vaccinations, and spaying or neutering (or adopted under a spay/neuter contract if too young at the time of adoption).
Because pets are housed in private foster homes, meet-and-greets are coordinated by appointment after an adoption application has been submitted and reviewed.
Donations can be made directly through their PayPal link (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=6CA6AUSWAHT2G) or by applying to become a volunteer foster parent.
The organization is a foster-based rescue without an open-admission facility. Surrenders and intake requests are accepted on an as-needed basis depending on available foster home capacity and resources.
