MNPPR at the Animals Helping Humans event

🗓️ The MN Pocket Pet Rescue will be one of the many wonderful animal rescues, organizations, and businesses gathering on Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 12–3 pm in Richfield for a powerful community fundraiser supporting the Richfield Community Safety Network. Fundraising will go directly to Richfield families impacted by Operation Metro Surge. This is a unique community gathering themed around "Animals Helping Humans," bringing together animal organizations, rescues, and local businesses.

🐾 This free, family-friendly event will center on the therapeutic benefits of animals. Bring the whole family to spend time with and meet llamas, goats, a mini horse, dogs, birds, reptiles, and other animals, including pocket pet Animal Ambassadors from our rescue, while experiencing the calming, grounding, and connective power of the human-animal bond. Animals have a unique way of reducing stress, restoring joy, and bringing people together — and this event creates space for exactly that kind of community healing.

🏚️ The mission of this event is to support the Richfield Community Safety Network (RCSN), a grassroots network of over 700 community members. RCSN provides mutual aid, delivers groceries, offers safe transportation, and currently provides rental assistance to stabilize housing for Richfield’s most vulnerable families. The event will be collecting donations at the entrance to raise critical funds for Richfield families in need of emergency housing support.

🐾 Animal Ambassadors you can meet and pet!
🖍️ Free pocket pet coloring pages
🎲 Free Games
