Help Blake & Thor Get a Second Chance!
Blake and Thor are two loving dogs who arrived at Pet Refuge at different times, but both faced the same serious heart condition, Pulmonic Stenosis. With the help of skilled veterinarians, they received the surgeries they needed and are now recovering. Still, the cost of their care is more than we had planned for.
A generous supporter has offered to donate $2,500 if we can raise another $2,500 ourselves. This will help us reach our goal of $8,000.
We’re asking caring animal lovers like you to help. Any amount you give will go straight to Blake and Thor’s care and recovery.
Please help these sweet dogs as they recover and get ready for their forever homes. If you can give, please donate today. Even sharing this message with others can make a big difference.
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!

WELCOME...
Pet Refuge is a nonprofit, (501c3), no-kill animal shelter located in South Bend Indiana. Backed by a group of amazing volunteers we strive to provide the best care possible for any animal in our care while working to find them a forever home.
Our building is located at 4626 South Burnett Drive, and we also maintain several foster homes for both dogs and cats.
Every cat or dog we adopt out is spayed or neutered to help control the large pet overpopulation problem. They are all up to date on needed shots, and are microchipped. Our cats are all Leukemia and FIV tested and our dogs are all heartworm tested.
Our available dogs and cats are shown here on our website, or there is a button below to take you to our Petfinder pages. Please note that due to the nature of website development, maintenance and updating, the information contained on the website may not reflect the most current developments.
