Hanson Family Foundation
Hanson Family Foundation for the Well-Being of God's Creatures
Founded in 2023, the Hanson Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on keeping pets and their families together. Brad, Jackie, Sam and Betsy share a passion for animals. Following a 2024 needs-assessment, they are committed to reducing pet overpopulation, providing affordable veterinary care, low-cost spay/neuter services, and removing geographical and financial barriers that force families to surrender their pets to animal shelters and rescues. Working collaboratively with existing animal welfare organizations in the region, the Hanson Family Foundation launched three new initiatives in 2025.
Meet Our Team
founder & development
"We believe every animal deserves to live a happy and healthy life with their family. The Hanson Family Foundation for the Well-Being of God's Creatures was established to keep pets and people together while reducing the intake burden on animal shelters and rescues."
equine rescue & sanctuary
"My faith and longtime passion for helping animals, especially horses, has led me to overseeing operations at the Foundation's private equine rescue and sanctuary where we can rehabilitate, train, foster and offer sanctuary to rescued horses."
veterinarian
"I recently relocated to SD & I am proud to be a part of the Foundation team offering safe & affordable veterinary services, with a focus on preventative care. I'm looking forward to connecting with area veterinarians to determine how our clinic can help them too."
marketing & strategic leadership
I joined the Hanson Family Foundation in 2025 because I believe in their people-centered approach to helping animals. Removing barriers to keep pets and people together supports the good work of existing organizations already serving the community."
We're all Better Together!
