ABRA, Inc. ABRA, Inc. (All Breed Rescue Angels) a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
Located in NW Indiana is a foster-based rescue group dedicated to saving shelter pets.

We do NOT have a shelter or physical building location. All of our dogs and cats live with volunteers throughout (mostly) Lake and Porter Counties in NW Indiana. Our mission is twofold: to save as many dogs and cats from living their final days in shelters and pounds as we can, and to educate the public so that one day our rescue won’t be necessary. Our Rescue Angels open their homes to foster a d

og or a cat until we are able to get them adopted into a forever home. We pull the most urgent animals: those that have very limited time left, those who won’t be adopted out based on their breed, etc. We do not discriminate. All dogs and cats deserve a chance at love, regardless of age, size, breed, looks, health, etc. We are always in need of foster volunteers. The more foster volunteers we have, the more lives we can save! ABRA provides all vetting and necessary supplies. As a foster volunteer, you provide a warm and loving home! At ABRA, we believe in educating the public on the importance of:

• spaying/neutering
• proper training (the number one reason animals are dumped at shelters is because of behavioral issues that could easily be remedied with proper training)
• the prevalence of dogfighting in our area and its ramifications for the entire community
• proper diet, nutrition and medical care

This is everywhere (some shelters are more transparent than others).

And still the messages from people wanting to get rid of their pets will keep pouring in, and when I explain that every one of our foster homes is full they then ask what my recommendation is - which shelter is available?
And my answer is all the same. None. Every shelter, rescue and animal control is in the exact same boat.

We would pull Pablo in a heartbeat if we had a foster home ready for him. Shelters are teeming with urgent cats and dogs. If ever you thought about fostering, now is the time.

Not every dog has a sad story.

Nyla sure does. The kind of story where you think…give me 5 minutes with them. Just me and my baseball bat. Let me give them a little taste of what it feels like to be abused and starved.

I know. Turn the other cheek, be the better person, forgive.
That’s not me. I abhor abusers. Mistreat an animal, a child, someone weaker than you, I have no tolerance.
But Nyla is a better person than me. Most dogs are.
She holds no grudges. She. LOVES. Everyone.
To have such a pure and trusting heart is what sets these beautiful creatures apart. She made her event debut today and she did FANTASTIC. Flops over for belly rubs, kissing anyone who would let her. She’s just a gem.

She is fostered with a toddler, other dogs, a cat and chickens. She truly loves everyone and everything. She’s about 6 to 7 months old and does have a lot of puppy energy. She would absolutely love another young dog to play with. We’re guessing she was taken from her mom at way too young of an age because she does not seem to understand other cues dogs are giving her, so she can be a bit much for an older dog. Even when they try to correct her, she kind of doesn’t get it and just wants to keep playing. She’s an annoying little sister. But she’s incredibly smart and knows lots of commands, is potty-trained, etc.

Nyla is also a thief, a total kleptomaniac. She will steal your shoes and your clothes and hide them around the house or often times in her crate where she will sleep with them. She does not chew them or destroy them in any way, it’s just like she enjoys keeping something with your scent on it near her at all times.

Want to adopt her? It all starts with an application…❤️

Her fur is growing in and she’s filling out, looking so much better than before. This girl deserves the best forever home, and we promise to find her just that.

Ozzy!
No idea how this guy has not been adopted yet. He was a tiny little bottle baby and he has stayed pretty petite. Now he’s about 12 weeks old and a ball of energy. Ozzy is ready to play 24/7 and absolutely must have another playful cat friend in his forever home.
