The main priority of the Minot AFB Veterinary Treatment Facility (VTF) is to provide care to the Security Forces Military Working Dogs (MWDs). The VTF is also here to serve the Minot AFB community and their privately owned animals (POAs). The VTF staff must ensure all POAs residing on Minot AFB are registered in accordance with Minot AFB Operating Instruction 31-203 which requires all dogs, cats, and ferrets to be registered with the VTF within 14 days of their arrival on base. Registration can be done on a walk-in basis; the pet is not required to be present. There is a limit of three (four legged pets) per household on Minot AFB. Exotic pets, to include but not limited to: wolves, wolf-hybrids, birds of prey, and reptiles of any species are not authorized in base housing without prior approval from the 5th Support Group Commander. Entry of all horses brought onto Minot AFB must be coordinated prior to arrival through the Dufresne Riding Club and the VTF.

If a registered pet becomes lost and is picked up by Security Forces, it can be promptly returned to its owner. Unregistered pets, however, are taken to the local Humane Society in Minot; if their owner cannot be located the pets are kept for three days before being put up for adoption or euthanized.

Clinics for routine vaccinations and sick calls are held as a Veterinarian is available.  The VTF also issues health certificates for animals in connection with home day-care, traveling overseas or crossing state lines.  The VTF staff performs routine diagnostic procedures and micro chipping on non-clinic days. Please call to ensure that qualified personnel are available and keep in mind that pets are seen on an appointment-only basis or when walk in clinics are advertised. The VTF is not authorized or equipped to provide emergency medical care to POAs.

For further details, the VTF can be reached by calling 723-6449.
