Helping the 2- and 4-Legged Tornado Victims

We have been working with local, state, and national groups since the recent tornadoes of March 2012 to help families and their pets recover from this terrible tragedy. We are greatly appreciative of all the support we have received so far but there is still much to do.

Please consider making a donation to help pay for the vet bills of animals who were either harmed during the storm or who have been displaced afterwards. Monetary donations are greatly appreciated and will go directly towards the care of animals affected by the storm.

We also need donations of items such as pet food, blankets, and livestock supplies. As S.I.R does not operate our own shelter, please bring these items to J.B. Ogle Animal Shelter in Jeffersonville and we will get these supplies out to the animals in need.

“Because Dogs Can’t Type”


Southern Indiana Animal Rescue, (S.I.R), is an all volunteer group of caring individuals dedicated to saving companion animals whose lives are in jeopardy. We are a non-profit 501c-3.

Since we do not have a shelter, all our pets live in volunteer’s homes until their forever home is found. Animals are rescued from a variety of circumstances including stray, abandonment, owner surrenders, and kill shelters. Volunteers lovingly bring these animals into their home for temporary foster care where they receive full vetting including spay/neutering, microchipping, worming, flea, tick, and heartworm prevention; as well as rehabilitation, and socialization until they are adopted into their forever home.

We also educate the public about pet overpopulation and responsible, humane pet care.

Check out the “Events” page to see what activities SIR has planned!


Southern Indiana Animal Rescue strives to go “above and beyond” when caring for, socializing, and training our rescued pets. We are proud to say we care enough about our pets, that we welcome them into our homes as our own.  Just like people, pets have unique preferences and personalities.

We understand it is important to identify those qualities in order to match a rescued pet with the perfect home. We go the “extra mile”, because we strongly feel these animals have suffered enough. Both you and they deserve their next home to be a “forever home!
