Michiana Pet Advocacy Center

Animal rescue in South Bend, IN

Michiana Pet Advocacy Center (MPAC) takes dogs. cats, puppies and kittens in emergency cases. We also work with special needs animals that would have no other place to go.

MPAC works with shelters and on a case by case basis.

Our group also has a transport truck that can transport over 30 dogs and cats in emergency situations. We mainly use the truck for Prison Tails at the Westville Correctional Center to transport the dogs to veterinary appointments and adoption events.

Michiana Pet Advocacy Center believes in NO KILL sheltering, and we strive to help those shelters who have a no kill attitude.

We can always use volunteers, fosters, help with transport, and any donations of used pet items you may no longer need. Contact Lois at 574-904-1185 if you have items you are willing to donate. We can always use cash donations or gas cards for our transport volunteers.

All of our pets are microchipped and spayed or neutered prior to adoption unless they are puppies or kittens less than four months of age. Puppies will have a minimum of two 5 way vaccinations plus bordatella. Adult dogs will be fully immunized and heartworm negative.

Our adoption fees start at $100.00. An obedience trained pet is $250.00, which is very reasonable for a happy, healthy, educated pet!

To be approved for adoption, you must have a good reference from a veterinarian, show proof of address, and have permission to adopt a pet from your landlord if you are renting. Any other pets you own must be current on vaccinations and spayed or neutered. If this is your first pet and you have no veterinary reference, you must provide some professional references as to your ability to care for your new pet.
