Pet Refuge is an EXCELLENT, not-for-profit, "no-kill" animal shelter established in April of 1978. "Pet Refuge is run by volunteers for the placement of unwanted and abandoned pets into responsible permanent homes." I adopted two of my cats through Pet Refuge, and the volunteers there are knowledgeable, helpful, and very dedicated to helping animals in the South Bend / Mishawaka, Indiana, area.
Since Pet Refuge is run by volunteers only, ALL donations go to supporting animals and placing them in homes with caring, responsible owners. Pet Refuge is TRULY "no-kill" (unlike some other shelters in our area), so donations to Pet Refuge SAVE lives! I have visited Pet Refuge a number of times in the last 15 years and I know it to be a fantastic, well-run, all-volunteer organization.
