IndyHumane to offer vaccine services and other resources through collaborative partnership in underserved area of Indianapolis

IndyHumane announced today that it will open its long awaited Animal Welfare Center on the near Westside at Holmes and West Michigan Streets in the Haughville neighborhood.
