Pet Food Pantries

These pantries aim to reduce pet surrender rates to shelters by helping families keep their beloved pets at home.

Pet-Friendly Housing

Wildlife Rehabilitators

If a wild animal is sick or injured, contact a permitted rehabilitator on the Indiana Department of Natural Resources website. Wild animal rehabilitation permits are issued to qualified individuals who take in sick, injured, or orphaned wild animals with the intent of releasing them back into the wild.

Responsible Rehoming

Please do NOT give pets away for free on sites like Craigslist/etc. There are many dangers to giving pets to unscreened adopters. This article has more information.

If you can no longer keep your pet, taking the time to find a new home for your pet is the most responsible thing you can do. It will give your pet a much smoother transition to its new life without you. Most shelters and rescues are at or above capacity.
