Goal

The Babinski Foundation was established in 2010 by Donald and Elizabeth Babinski, owners and founders of The Babinski Properties which owns multifamily housing in Minnesota, Florida, and South Dakota.  Donald and his wife Elizabeth worked tirelessly to accomplish their dream of opening the animal shelter, but Donald Babinski passed away on August 11th, 2014 before the shelter could open. Elizabeth continued where they left off and the Foundation opened in January 2016 in Pequot Lakes, MN. Elizabeth passed away on November 13th, 2020. Donald and Elizabeth’s dream was finally realized, and Donald and Elizabeth’s surviving family and friends continue to work hard to fulfill their mission. 

Donald Babinski


It's our mission to rescue and restore abandoned and stray animals, giving each an opportunity for a new life and loving home, through adoption and education.



Your support will continue our mission!

Thank you for taking in my daughters dog the night of 12/11/20. My daughter was killed that night as was her other dog (Toby). GremLynn was left in her car and brought to you by the Sheriff. I picked her up the next day but was too distraught to properly thank you all.
