Animal rescue in Indianapolis, IN

Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary (EARPS) is a central Indiana 501C(3) non-profit animal rescue group made up of volunteers working to help exotic pets, small companion animals, and non-traditional pets.

We coordinate with Indianapolis Animal Care Services, the Humane Society, and several shelters throughout Indiana and surrounding states, as well as local veterinary clinics to rescue and care for exotic pets including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, reptiles, birds and more.

Our network of volunteers and foster homes works to educate on the proper care of exotic pets, and we are working to control the pet population through spaying and neutering our adoptable animals whenever possible.
