Ferret Shelters in Indiana

We are committed to making sure that not only do the ferrets in our rescue get adopted into a new home,but they are adopted into their perfect forever home; the home they should have gotten the first time around. That said, we recognize that not all ferrets can or will be adopted out. Some are in their forever home here with us and we are equally committed to providing them with all their physical needs and loving their little souls as well. They, in turn, provide us with love, good humor and tireless fuzzy antics to brighten our days. We think this is a perfect arrangement.

Five Points Ferret Refuge has been rescuing ferrets since 2009 in the Indianapolis area. We began innocently enough, searching for a couple of personal pets and discovered so many ferrets in need of good homes. Unable to find a local rescue, we took in several and while having them vetted, our veterinarian suggested we start rescuing. Unknowingly, we already were.

Ferret Rescue and Halfway House is a non profit, no-kill shelter dedicated to ferrets. We turn no ferrets away and do our best to find these little guys new homes. We have our primary shelter in Martinsville, Indiana and numerous foster homes throughout central Indiana. We also try to provide all the stuff you will need to get started from cages, to bedding to info at the shelter. All donations and procedes go back to the shelter itself.



Heartland Small Animal Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)3 rescue based in South Bend, Indiana.

Heartland Small Animal Rescue was originally founded to rescue small pocket pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small & furry animals from shelters and adopt them out to forever homes through our established adoption program. A few years later, we expanded the rescue to include cats and in 2010 we expanded again to include dogs. Since then, our rescue has significantly grown as we continue to rescue pets in need from our local shelters as well as other high-capacity shelters throughout the Midwest. When space is available, we also accept pets from owners who are no longer able to care for them. We recently went through yet another expansion and are now welcoming reptiles and birds into the rescue.

Dog & Cat Shelters in Indiana

Harmony Haven, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing quality lifetime care for homeless cats and dogs, finding suitable adoptive placements for those animals who are healthy and socialized, and educating the community about responsible pet guardianship.

Our building is located on a hill at the intersection of State Road 63 and Sandford Ave. in northern Vigo County. As you drive north on S.R. 63 from Terre Haute, you will see our "Harmony Haven, Inc." sign on the east side of the highway.

Harmony Haven is modeled after other privately funded no-kill cat and dog sanctuaries in the U.S. No kill sanctuaries offer an alternative to more traditional shelters which kill approximately 30,000 cats and dogs every day, seven days a week. Currently, there are more than 700 sanctuaries nationwide, one dating as far back as 1907.

All the cats and dogs of Harmony Haven live communally with their own species. Our animals do not live in cages, but are housed in a home-like atmosphere with loving attention, making a smoother transition to an adoptive family.

Harmony Haven is composed of people like you; caring individuals, who love cats and dogs, and volunteer as foster parents, donate their time for clerical or other volunteer duties, help our fundraising efforts, and who spend time socializing our cats and dogs. And the rewards are great! Knowing that you have done your part to save a special unique, but helpless cat or dog can give you a wonderful sense of satisfaction.

Heartland Small Animal Rescue was originally founded to rescue and rehome small animals like rabbits, ferrets and cats. We rescue animals from local shelters that are in danger of being euthanized. We, also, take in surrendered animals that can not be cared for by their owners any longer. In 2010, we began rescuing dogs. We currently have more dogs in our rescue than any other species. We have grown over 500% in the last two years. In 2012 we adopted out over 550 dogs. We have expanded our rescue and now take in more exotic animals such as geckos, turtles, hedgehogs, and sugar gliders.
