Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue

We are a 501 C3 non-profit since 2015, primarily volunteer based animal rescue in Rolla, ND. We do not have an actual shelter, we operate out of the garage of TMAR’s founder and shelter manager, Keith Benning, a Deputy Sheriff and Municipal Judge in the county. We service a 2000 square mile area, and rescue 70-100 animals each month, most are homeless, some are given to us to find better homes, all need vet care, shelter, food and compassion until we find them a home. In 2019 we purchased land with the goal of building an animal shelter/sanctuary and attached youth center that will be the first of its kind. Our goal is to offer resources for the surrounding communities such as low cost spay and neuter, vaccination clinics and a place to care for homeless animals in addition to providing jobs within the shelter. Youth involvement programs, where kids can participate in the rescue and care of homeless animals in addition to helping solve the bigger problem of overpopulation and animal homelessness is paramount.
