Indiana's Community-Led Rescue

Safe Havens & Brighter Futures

We bridge the gap between overwhelmed shelters and loving Hoosier homes through volunteer-led care and accessible wellness resources.

Our Foundation

Bridging Shelters to Homes

Founded as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Canine Haven Rescue was created to relieve overwhelmed Indiana municipal animal shelters. We provide a vital bridge, ensuring every dog finds a safe haven and a loving family within our Hoosier foster networks.

Our comprehensive care model includes medical treatment, behavioral assessment, and any necessary rehabilitation before foster placement. We are 100% community-funded and volunteer-operated, creating a joyful, collective effort for pet advocacy.

Our Guiding Principle

Every rescue story starts in our community.

With volunteers who step up, families who adopt, and neighbors who care, we build a stronger neighborhood pack for every dog.

Matchmaking

We partner with Indiana municipal shelters to identify dogs in need, providing immediate relief and a fresh start.

Each dog receives full veterinary care, behavioral assessment, and any necessary rehabilitation before foster placement.

Our dedicated Hoosier foster networks provide a loving temporary home, teaching dogs house manners and building confidence.

We carefully match dogs with their perfect forever families, ensuring a successful and joyful transition.
