Rescue Rovers, a 501c3 non-profit organization, started in November, 2012 as an all volunteer group arranging transportation from high kill shelters to partner rescues in the Intermountain West. Our mission was to pool resources to maximize the number of dogs saved when a volunteer went to "pull" a dog from the shelter. We believed if we had an emtpy seat in the car, a kennel could go there and we could save more lives. Indeed, our promise that "Together, we can do MORE" helped us travel 135,000 miles with volunteer drivers in our first year alone.

At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

We battle pet overpopulation in Northern Indiana We strive to reduce the number of displaced pets in our community by spaying or neutering all animals in our care, carefully placing our animals into long-term, loving homes, and by educating our community about the importance of adoption over buying from breeders, puppy mills, or pet stores. We give the animals in our care the best chance at life that we can! We never euthanize for the sake of space or length-of-stay in our rescue; we believe that no animal’s life should have a time limit.
