The Babinski Foundation
The Babinski Foundation is a Non-Profit Animal Shelter that will be providing services for the Pequot Lakes area.
Our Mission is to provide a safe, healthy and loving environment that will provide temporary shelter for abandoned, stray and surrendered animals for the purpose of finding each animal a new and prosperous home.
The Babinski Foundation will be the model shelter in our surrounding area, making sure that we address issues of pet overpopulation via our services and provide education on how to prevent it. We also aim to prevent as many pet deaths as we can year after year. The Babinski Foundation believes in the Five Freedoms for animal welfare.

These young pups are looking for loving and patient foster or forever home! All of these 5-month-old Shar-Pei/Shepherd mixes are so sweet, but very timid when meeting people. They need to learn how to be pups! Call us at 218-568-7387 if you are interested.

Our K9 Connection program has been such a wonderful experience so far. We've paired students and shelter dogs for work on basic obedience training. We have also enjoyed guest speakers like Baxter Police Office Taylor Haverson and Canine Timber, a Belgian Malinois.
