Cherished Life

Animal rescue in Carmel, IN

Cherished Life is a non profit organization dedicated to providing foster care and veterinary care to animals in need. Everyday our local shelters are inundated with animals surrendered by their owners, picked up by animal control, or found by local citizens. Quite frequently these pets are ill and in desperate need of medical attention. Our goal is to provide affordable veterinary care so that more homeless pets can have a second chance at life.

Rescue FAQs

Dr. Mary Marcotte began Cherished Life in February of 2005. We take in as many animals as possible - they are usually those in need of medical care. These animals are typically on the urgent lists at local shelter facilities. Dr. Marcotte provides all veterinary care necessary and then finds them forever homes once they are recovered. We do not ship animals out of state.

Additional adoption info

A short application is required before an appointment can be arranged to meet our adoptable animals. Once your application is approved, our adoption coordinator will contact you and arrange a visit. Some animals maybe adopted the same day (those that are already spayed/neutered and healthy). Adoption fees are set per animal and depend on the level of medical care invested. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to hold an animal. A signed contract is required at the time of adoption.
