Grateful Rescue & Sanctuary

The Animal Rescue Fund's (ARF) goal is to spread the message that we promise to love all animals through placement, medical attention, prevention, and education.

Our goal is to care for stray, abandoned, and abused animals in our neighborhood and help them find loving homes. In addition to reducing the number of stray and abused animals, our goal is to raise awareness of local laws governing animals and animal care, connect people to resources, and promote animal welfare.

Our mission is to advocate for the humane treatment of all animals, assist lost pets in finding their owners, and assist homeless cats and dogs in finding loving forever homes.

Our intention to increase public awareness of animal cruelty and care. In order to educate the public about responsible pet ownership, humane animal care, and the value of the human-animal bond, we have developed number of initiatives over the years.

A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, The Blackford County Animal Shelter, Inc. For Blackford County, Hartford City, and Shamrock Lakes, we offer animal control services.
