Our shelter cares for homeless cats and kittens, and works to adopt them to loving permanent homes. In recent years approximately 150 cats and kittens per year have been adopted, almost 200 in 2018. Priority is given to county residents who need to rehome pets, but adoptions are done throughout Indiana and even nearby states. Approximately half the pets are pulled from other local facilities who may be forced to euthanize animals due to space or illness issues. The recent addition of a medical suite in our building allows our volunteers to work with local veterinarians to care for and return more sick or injured animals to adoptable health.

Our shelter provides dog and cat food free of charge to county residents who indicate a need for help with the costs of feeding their pets. This helps people avoid surrendering their animals to shelters.

Several times a year, our shelter sponsors low-cost vaccination clinics for dogs and cats, with vaccines administered by local veterinarians. In 2017, our clinics helped local pet owners get affordable vaccinations for 258 dogs and 49 cats, for a total of 307 pets.
