Midwest Animal Rescue & Services (MARS) operates as a non-profit organization focused on rescuing dogs and cats that are homeless or at risk through no fault of their own. The organization emphasizes providing veterinary care, including vaccinations, microchips, and spaying or neutering, with additional medical attention as needed before animals are adopted. MARS relies on a foster-based model rather than a traditional shelter, housing rescued pets in volunteers’ homes to better reflect family life and improve the adoption outcome. Based in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, MARS serves a broad range of breeds and ages and emphasizes responsible pet ownership while educating the public and supporting fellow rescuers. The group is supported by volunteers and supporters and reports a high adoption success rate, aided by its emphasis on evaluating pets in a home environment prior to placement. A recent collaboration highlighted is a partnership with Simply Street Bikes, noted in May 2026, reflecting community engagement and active fundraising or awareness efforts.
