Mesabi Humane Society (Virginia)

The Range Animal Shelter incorporated and became a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization in the fall of 1978. Originally, all offices and duties of the Society were conducted by volunteers in their homes. In it's infancy, monies earned through fundraising activities and donations were deposited onto an account specified for the construction of an animal shelter. The name of the organization was changed to the Mesabi Humane Society in 1981. At this time the Society became a chapter of the Minnesota State Humane Society.

The construction of an animal shelter facility began in the spring of 1986. Located in Virginia, a small mining community in northeastern Minnesota, the Range Animal Shelter opened its doors to the public in October of that same year.
