Our Featured Pet...
Southern Indiana Rescue Effort would like for you to meet 'Buddy', a handsome approximately one year old stray black Lab that wandered into the yard of a Santa Claus IN man approximately four months ago. The kind man who found this friendly, young dog has been making a monumental effort to care for him and keep Buddy safe, despite being on dialysis, other serious health issues, and a fixed income as well. Southern Indiana Rescue Effort is assisting with this 'courtesy' posting and a reminder that the wonderful family who chooses this fine dog will not pay an adoption fee, but instead will get a neuter and shots package for Buddy at a HIGHLY discounted rate. To learn more about Buddy and for contact information, please click on 'adoptable pets' and look for Buddy, the Lab!

While 2011 has definitely not lived up to the promise and adoptions that we had hoped for, Southern Indiana Rescue Effort would still like to offer our profound thanks to the awesome people who opened their hearts and homes to this rescue's homeless animals. The 'rescue and rehome' scenerio for the United States remains dismal due to the same bad economy that has forced many citizens from their homes after having lost their jobs and ability to remain self sustaining. Southern Indiana Rescue Effort's ending adoption totals for 2011 are accurately reflected in this national crisis situation. Athough we work very hard, making every possible effort to successfully 'market' our rescues to middle and upper middle class families who share our companion animal mores, we have only been able to secure homes for three of our loving dogs. Denver, Stanley Sprocket, and 'pocket' pit girl Angel have been placed into the most wonderful homes and we are so grateful to Cassie Parker, Jay Whitney and Betty Bradley for being the type of responsible and loving individuals that this rescue utterly treasures! We did have a fourth dog adoption in 2011, and to a really good couple, but this dog ended up being returned to us because the couple was not upfront about the fact that they did NOT own the home they were residing in. Not owning ones own home and, therefore, being subject to the whims of a landlord is the number one reason animals are returned to shelters and also the reason that Southern Indiana Rescue Effort will not knowingly adopt our pit and pit mixes out to individuals who rent. The only upside to 2011 is that we were able to place many cats and kittens into wonderful homes through our continuing affilliation with Evansville's Feline Fix rescue and the Petsmart adoption program. Southern Indiana Rescue Effort would like to personally take this opportunity to thank local rescuer Jamie Taylor of Feline Fix and valued merchant Petsmart for allowing us to share in this important program that has enabled us to assist so many local felines. We would also like to thank our many past adopter families of both dogs and cats for the wonderful updates on their pets and just generally for staying in touch with us! You have no idea how much your periodic updates, anectdotes and pictures actually mean to us! We would like to remind the public that Southern Indiana Rescue Effort is home to many deserving, gentle and loving dogs, all of whom were scheduled to be killed by a deplorable 'throw away' society, and some who actually missed their dates with death by a matter of mere hours. We remain committed to assisting as many dogs and cats as our infrastructure and monetary situation will allow...and also are adamant proponents of MANDATORY spay/neuter in all of the states. Southern Indiana Rescue Effort is on Facebook under our founder and director's name 'Deb Conner', and our profile pictures is 'Bruno', a past rescue standing in front of a red car. We remain committed and look forward to working with you, the public, and our many rescue contacts in the coming year and again ask that, if you are considering adding a pet to your family, please seriously consider us! Whenever you adopt an animal from Southern Indiana Rescue Effort, you are freeing 'kennel space' that allows us to help another dog, destined to die. Here is wishing you and yours the very best that life has to offer, and a rewarding and prosperous new year! Now, lets 'roll up our sleeves' and get to work!----------------------------------------------------------------
SOUTHERN INDIANA RESCUE EFFORT HAS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING 5013C STATUS, AND WILL DELAY OUR OBTAINING THIS DESIGNATION UNTIL THE US ECONOMY IMPROVES.
Who We Are
Southern Indiana Rescue Effort is a small rescue group located in Warrick county that has come to realize just how dire the situation for companion animals really is in the United States. Approximately 900 healthy, and adoptable companion animals are euthanized EVERY HOUR simply because there are not enough homes for them. We are adamant supporters of mandatory spay/neuter laws in all 50 states. Until this future scenario unfolds; however, Southern Indiana Rescue Effort will strive to provide a "safety net" for as many deserving animals as possible, one animal at a time, and without regard to breed, or species. When possible, you will find us readily "networking" with other rescue groups who share our desire to impact animal lives. Southern Indiana Rescue Effort is on Facebook as a viable networking option for many of the 'death-row' animals that we cannot personally rescue, and as a convenient method of sharing pictures, videos, and amusing anecdotes with our many adoptive families. We heartily invite you to join us there...'click' on Deb Conner, and you will see a handsome pit bull dog standing in front of a small, red car!
Adopting a friend
S.I.R.E. has a fairly simple adoption procedure that typically begins with a verbal "screening" right over the phone, and eventually culminates into our "Formal Adoption Agreement" with possible home visit. We want your adoption experience to be a successful one, and will make every effort to help "match" you with an appropriate pet for your family, living circumstances, and lifestyle.
Come Visit Us!
Southern Indiana Rescue Effort is a small rescue located on the premises of a single family residence, and our visits are by appointment only. We are located approximately 15 minutes east of Boonville Indiana, right off highway 62, in the town of Tennyson. Call 812-430-8009 to schedule an appointment, or email lightspeed12@yahoo.com, or lightspeed19@gmail.com. Remember, "it's raining dogs, hallelujah", so come and find yours today!
