Description
The Babinski Foundation is a private 501c3 animal shelter located in Pequot Lakes, MN. Their mission is 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 foundation was established in 2010 by Donald and Elizabeth Babinski, who owned Babinski Properties that owns multifamily housing in Minnesota, Florida and South Dakota. Although Donald passed away before the shelter could open, Elizabeth continued their dream and opened the foundation in January 2016.
