South Bend

Pet Refuge is a limited admission private nonprofit cat and dog shelter in South Bend, IN We are volunteer based and have a shelter and also a foster network for cats and dogs in our care. We also have a High Volume/High Quality Spay and Neuter clinic.

South Bend Animal Resource Center (SBARC) is an open admission municipal animal control shelter and animal based community center. My name is Sue and I am the Volunteer Coordinator at the Shelter. I try to bring the community into the shelter to bring comfort to the animals as they wait to be adopted. Having Volunteers with the animals lowers stress and entices potential adopters. There is a Maximum of 20 Adoption Kennels, so helping the animals feel relief can help them find a home sooner.
