Indianapolis animal shelter: Changes help reduce euthanasia rate
May 7th, 2012
May 7, 2012 -
Zeus barely hesitated before lunging at another dog in a fit of playful roughhousing.
A few years ago, the well-mannered pit bull mix, still adjusting to life inside the Indianapolis Animal Care and Control shelter, likely would have faced a death sentence because of his breed.
But not so now. Dropped off in early March by owners who were moving, he would leave less than two months later for a new home.
Mutt Strut 2012 a Huge Success No Matter the Weather
May 7th, 2012
Mother nature was keeping all of the humans and their pups on their toes last Saturday, but the rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of the over 6,000 IndyHumane supporters and their best canine friends.
The Plaza opened at the same time the clouds did but once the front moved through the weather cleared and the Track filled with every imaginable breed and mixed breed. "It was amazing!", said first-time Mutt Strutter Amanda Jones. "Every shape, size and color of dog was on the track. My poodle, Binkley, was in heaven with the smells!"
This year's Mutt Strut was a success thanks to sponsors like title sponsor Harrison College but also thanks in large part to the increased individual fundraising efforts of Mutt Strut registrants. Everyone's efforts combined to raise (drum roll please) $398,561.94 just shy of our $400,000 goal! If you raised money for Mutt Strut but haven't had a chance to send it in (online or in person) we're accepting these donations till June 1st. And, if you would like to donate to get us closer to, or over our goal, that would be great, too! We'll see you in 2013 for the 10th Annual Mutt Strut!
