Thanks to indypaws.com and the Indianapolis Star for making this possible. The more exposure we get for the animals, the faster they will get to a forever home. Thanks to Sensory Technologies for donating the cameras to us to make this possible. We really appreciate their generosity and commitment to animals.

HUMANE SOCIETY OF INDIANAPOLIS AND INDIANAPOLIS ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL LAUNCH FIRST STEP IN NEW COLLABORATION
The Humane Society of Indianapolis (HSI) and Indianapolis Animal Care & Control (IACC) announced today they have implemented the first step in their recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to benefit homeless animals in Indianapolis. The MOU calls for coordination of services, beginning with the animal intake function, including the development of a procedure for citizens who find stray animals to bring them to the Humane Society for intake by IACC personnel. "If a citizen needs to turn in a stray dog or cat, they can call our 'Here to Help' hotline and make an appointment," said Martha Boden, HSI's chief executive officer. "IACC will have an Animal Control Officer available to be on-site for these appointments. In this way, we can accommodate the public's need for the surrender of stray animals on the north side of the city." Indianapolis director of public safety Scott Newman believes the new procedure will help both agencies better serve the community. "We looked at the patterns of animal movement at both facilities and recognized the value of using the available resources of both agencies to maximize every homeless animal's potential for survival and placement in a forever home," said Newman. In addition, IACC will be referring any owner looking for resources that will help them keep their pet in their home and resolve behavior issues to the Humane Society's "Here to Help" line. People who find stray animals may call the Humane Society "Here to Help" line at 317-872-5650, ext. 126 for more information or to schedule an appointment to drop-off the animal at HSI.
