Who We Are

Guardians of the Green Mile, Inc. is a group of individuals that have come together to save the lives of animals dumped or found as strays from area shelters. We still genuinely believe that it takes a village to save a life.

Our Mission

To help animals that would otherwise be euthanized due to breed, space restrictions, or medical needs.

What We Do

Through donations, adoption fees, and fundraisers, we pay for all vetting for the pet through Coyne Animal Hospital in Crown Point Indiana and Hero Pet in Westville.

“Full vetting” includes all vaccines, heartworm test (and treatment if needed), a fecal (and treatment if needed), spay or neuter, microchip, veterinarian examination, dental (if needed), and any other medical/grooming care the animal might need.

Once the dog (or cat, etc.) is completely vetted, we will place them into an approved foster home to get them healed and ready to be adopted.

Adoption

I Don’t Want To Foster, I Want To Adopt. Can I Adopt the Dog Directly Through the Guardians?

YES! Please fill out and submit your application.
