My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This boy will lead you through the snow and warm your heart just like his namesake! Balto is a ten-month-old, 43-pound Siberian Husky who came to the shelter with his brother Blizzard. These two boys were found as strays, scared and alone. They were found and brought to the shelter to attempt to reunite them with their owner. Balto and Blizzard were sadly never claimed. Balto is a sweet, gentle boy who`s shy with new people but willing to open up for soft pets and high-value treats. Once he knows you, Balto will open up and lean on you for pets. He does great with other dogs, and once he`s comfortable, we think he`ll love working on potty training and other training!

Balto is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. You can visit him at the shelter Tuesdays through Sundays from 8:30 to 5:00 PM!

More about this shelter

OUR MISSION

We strive to ensure a safe, healthy, and loving environment that will provide temporary shelter for abandoned, stray, and surrendered animals and to find each animal a new and prosperous home.
The Babinski Foundation is a private 501c3 animal shelter located in Pequot Lakes, MN. We are a safe place to surrender dogs and cats. We also are a stray drop-off facility for stray cats and dogs.

OUR STORY

The Babinski Foundation was established in 2010 by Donald and Elizabeth Babinski owners and founders of Babinski Properties which owns multifamily housing in Minnesota, Florida and South Dakota. He and his wife Elizabeth were working tirelessly to get the animal shelter opened which was their dream, but Donald Babinski passed away August 11th, 2014 before the shelter could open. Elizabeth continued where they left off and the Foundation opened in January 2016 in Pequot Lakes, MN. Elizabeth passed away on November 13th, 2020. Donald and Elizabeth’s dream was finally realized, and Donald and Elizabeth’s surviving family and friends will continue to work hard to fulfill their mission.
