The Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. was established in December of 2000 by Suzanne deVaucenne, after she rescued two neglected and extremely ill French Poodle puppies from an Indianapolis pet store. Suzanne, a lifelong animal lover, humane educator and animal welfare advocate decided to become a louder voice on behalf of all animals.
In addition to providing a safe haven for homeless animals in need of rescue, the Animal Protection Coalition focuses on adoption, rehabilitation, and education. Supporting hopes of improving animal welfare in Indiana. We also work to help prosecutors, humane societies, animal shelters, and animal control officers with the enforcement of current Indiana animal welfare laws.
Our current President, Anthony R. Caldwell has an extensive background in law enforcement, science, health and research. He was elected President of Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. in 2003. He established Indiana Horse Rescue in 1998, an equine rescue organization dedicated to preventing unnecessary slaughter and abuse of horses, which joined forces with Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. in 2002.
In the last two years, we have experienced substantial growth as a powerful advocate for animal welfare in the State of Indiana. In 2006 Indiana Horse Rescue joined the APC Team.
