Humane Societies of Indianapolis and Louisiana continue Super “Shelter Bowl” Challenge
Posted Tue. 2/09/2010
Though the big game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints is over, a battle between two of the regions’ largest non-profit animal-welfare organizations continues.
If you donate to the Humane Society of Indianapolis online or postmark your mailed check by Sunday, Feb. 14, you can help us win the first-ever Super “Shelter Bowl” Challenge against the Humane Society of Louisiana to see which shelter can raise the most funds for their animals.
Make a donation in the same amount of your favorite player’s number to recognize their post-loss grief. Or better yet, donate the amount of points you wish the Colts would have scored in the Super Bowl!
Your donation will directly support our services and animals like Manning, the pictured puppy. And though we still love our Colts after their loss, a Humane Society of Indianapolis win would be a great victory for both our city and our animals!

Sponsored Cats and Dogs
These animals came to us with special needs and received financial help from kind people like yourself who donated to provide the special care they need before finding their forever families.
If you'd like to be an angel for an animal, please see our Adoptable Dogs or Adoptable Cats pages - animals in need of sponsorship are not available for adoption, but will have special photos and instructions on how you can help! If you know who you'd like to sponsor, visit our Medical Sponsorship page to donate and save an animal.
