It Takes A Village No-Kill Rescue
Our Mission
It Takes A Village is dedicated to rescuing abandoned and at-risk animals with compassion, ensuring they find the loving families they were always meant to have. We believe that no breed, size, color, or circumstance defines a pet's worth, and we work as one to make no-kill a reality for every animal.
Our Story
Our journey began in 2010 when two passionate advocates met in Evansville to turn an idea into a village. We have since grown from fostering in private homes to operating dedicated rescue centers in Evansville, Spencer County, and soon, Daviess County. Guided by the belief that saving one dog will not change the world, but for that one dog, the world will change forever, we continue to expand our reach to save more lives.
How We Care
As a no-kill rescue, we provide food, housing, veterinary care, and a lifelong commitment to the animals in our care. Our model relies on a blend of dedicated foster families and our rescue centers, allowing us to provide a safe, healing environment for dogs, cats, and small animals. We never euthanize for time or space, ensuring every animal gets the time and love they need to thrive.
Your Adoption Journey
Adoption is the start of a beautiful partnership, and we are here to support you in finding your perfect companion. By understanding your lifestyle and needs, we help match you with a pet that is ready to become part of your family. Our transparent, supportive process ensures you have all the information needed to welcome your new best friend home with confidence.
Join Our Village
Ready to meet your future best friend? We invite you to browse our current adoptable pets online or visit us at our locations in Evansville, Spencer County, or Owensboro.
