About IPPRA

Indiana Petite Paws Rescue Angels was formed in April 2004. We came about when a group of Yorkie Lovers, who met over the years on the Internet because of our love for the Yorkshire Terrier.

As our friendships grew and bonded, we saw a need out there for all the unwanted and abandoned Yorkies. We felt compelled to join together and make a difference.

Most of us have been members of National Rescue Groups but we found it became necessary to scale it down to a smaller localized area so we can cover it more efficiently.

We are a not for profit group and rely solely on our volunteers and donations. We are an approved 501(c)(3) organization. Donations are tax-deductible.

We are incorporated in the State of Indiana.

To promote education about Spay and Neuter of companion animals

To prevent cruelty and abuse of any companion animal especially Yorkshire Terriers
