Giving Back
It all started with a dream—a calling from God that nudged us toward doing more.
Jeanine firmly believes business should be about more than simply making money. She wanted to create a business that would generate a steady stream of income that could be donated to charity. After a few years of planning, and a lot of prayers, Paws Pet Resort became a reality in 2018.
Paws Pet Resort donates a portion of its proceeds to charitable organizations. The first is Mission Haiti, a Sioux Falls-based non-profit that holds a special place in our hearts. The second organization is Partners World Wide. Additionally, there are two other spots that rotate quarterly. Learn more about each cause below!

Rescue Network
How We Became Rescue Network
In 2017, I fostered three mangy puppies from a reservation. A few weeks later, at an adoption event, I spotted their mama — a dog named Shasta. She looked absolutely heartbroken. My husband was with me, and I looked at him and said, “We need to foster her.” He responded with a firm, “No way.”
Well… I won.
We brought Shasta home, and I started networking to find her a forever home. But shortly after Christmas, something in me shifted. Without warning, I just said, “We’re adopting her.” I had no plan. It just felt right.
But Shasta’s story stuck with me. I became curious about where she came from and what she’d endured. Her puppies had been in awful shape, and she had clearly been through so much. I later found out that Shasta had been living outside as a stray on a reservation, trying to raise her six puppies on an old mattress — a photo I eventually saw and will never forget.
That photo was the beginning of Rescue Network.
I couldn’t believe how little help there was for animals in these areas. I felt a deep pull to do something. I started helping the reservation where Shasta had come from, raising money from friends and covering costs out of my own pocket. But it wasn’t sustainable — the need was overwhelming.
In late 2019, Rescue Network was officially born. Since then, we’ve grown tremendously — now supporting every reservation in South Dakota and several in North Dakota. We’ve built strong partnerships with tribal communities and continue to expand our mission to help animals and people alike.
To this day, I still tell Shasta she’s saving lives. Without her, I’m not sure I would’ve had the courage — or the clarity — to start all of this. She was the beginning.

Who We Are
Sex and labor trafficking trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation occur at growing rates across the United States, including in the state of South Dakota. Several intersecting factors, including extreme poverty, geographic isolation, and homelessness, result in high levels of victimization across the state. Call to Freedom is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in South Dakota dedicated to bringing wholeness to all individuals impacted by sex and labor trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.
Founded in 2016, Call to Freedom hired its first full-time staff member in 2018 and has grown to 29 full-time staff united by their passion for ensuring survivors of trafficking and exploitation are believed and supported by their community. Staff members bring decades of experience combatting violence and providing community-based services and include previous South Dakota Department of Corrections staff, social workers, law enforcement, and addiction recovery specialists.
The majority of our direct service staff had worked with Call to Freedom in their prior roles as community-based service providers and joined call to Freedom because of their passion for its holistic, person-centered approach. Our staff are uniquely positioned to serve trafficking survivors, given their experience working with people who have experienced trauma, responding to crisis situations, and identifying community resources available within the Sioux Falls community and across South Dakota.
