Animal Protection League

Mission: To make second chances possible through the human/animal connection.

We are a group of dedicated people who have the audacity to dream for a compassionate, humane community for our animals. While maintaining that animal abuse is the link to human violence, we also celebrate the human/animal connection from a place of spirituality which sustains us emotionally, touches the hearts of even the most hardened and provides us with unconditional love.

The Animal Protection League is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of animals and people.

We serve predominately Madison County in Indiana but put animals on transports that go all over the country. We do allow out of state adoptions as long as adopters come to the shelter to pick up the animal they are interested in adopting! We have adopted cats and dogs all throughout the country from Wisconsin to Pennsylvania!
