Donate to the shelter 

The Marshmallow Animal Shelter  is a non-profit animal shelter that serves as city pound for Detroit Lakes, Frazee, Audubon, Lake Park, Waubun, Mahnomen and Callaway, as well as Becker County.  Our shelter is located inside of the Lucky Dog Training Complex located at 1478 Mallard Street, Detroit Lakes, MN  56501. Donations can be made in person, via mail or by clicking on the Donate button below!

On average, we have around 60 cats and 20 dogs to care for while they wait to find new homes and families.  These numbers may fluctuate but the one constant is this:  there is always another cat or dog needing our help.  Many of these cats and dogs are with us for months and even years because we are committed to caring for them until we can find them suitable homes.  We are asking for your help so that we may continue to provide a safe haven for pets in need until they find a new place to call home!

The operating expenses of the shelter run between $10,000-$12,000 each month! This includes care for animals, medical supplies, staff costs, insurance, rent, water, kitty litter, cat and dog food, etc.  We rely substantially on your generous donations to keep our doors open!
