Our mission is "To work as one in helping homeless animals irrespective of breed, location or circumstance." We are a 501(c)(3) mostly volunteer, no-kill rescue. We have two locations, one in Evansville, Indiana and one in Chrisney, Indiana. We have helped over 8200 animals since we were created in 2010. WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL ALL PAWS HAVE A HOME!

Rent-A-Dog Program

How it works:

Bring your driver’s license to one of the ITV rescue centers during open hours.
Sign a short form with rules.
ITV places you with a dog.
Take the dog for an outing for as long as you like – an hour, a day, a weekend.
Share, share, share photos and information about the dog on social media and everywhere!! Tell your friends and family!! The goal is to get the dog into a forever home so the more you share, the more it will increase the dog’s chances of finding a forever home!
That is it! Its that easy!!
