“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!

  1. My parents adopted Nelson…the 5 yr old yellow lab. Just wanted to give you an update..he is an amazing BIG boy who has tons of love to give to everyone he has meet in the last few days. He has without a doubt found his FOREVER home and just in time for Christmas. We just love him!! My parents were in need of him just as much as he needed a home. They took him to the store and let him pick out his new toys and his new bed for the couch. He goes everywhere with them. He has his own seat in my moms minivan between the kids booster seats. I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of our boy!! He has filled that empty spot in my parents heart from the loss of there previous dog Mia!! From the bottom of our hearts…THANK YOU!!!

  4. WOW! This so great to hear about Nelson. Lisa, your parents are very very lucky to have Nelson and Nelson is very lucky to have been adopted by your parents! I remember the day we pulled him from the shelter, was a very very close call! It is stories like this that make those of us in rescue do what we do! I think Bethany can attest to the fact that Nelson came a long way! Take care and God Bless!
