Changing the Face of Animal Welfare in Indianapolis
November 15th, 2011
It’s our vision here at IndyHumane: to end animal homelessness, neglect, and abandonment. To help us accomplish that, we hold an annual fundraising breakfast called Face of Love. This event raises as much as 5% of our annual operating budget. We wanted to thank those that attended this year as well as the generous sponsors that helped make this event so special.
Because the room at the Westin this morning could not hold all of IndyHumane’s friends and volunteers, we wanted to make sure you were not left out. So, we’ve sent you the video from this morning’s event.
Please take a moment to watch it. You'll see why we work so hard every day to make a difference for animals in Central Indiana. And you’ll see why your support is so deperately needed to help us achieve our - and we hope your - vision.
If you like what you see here, please share it with your friends and family. If you would like to make a donation, the animals would appreciate it, too. You make the difference here. You can help us change the face of animal welfare forever.
Thank you,
John Aleshire
Chief Executive Officer
Humane Society of Indianapolis

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!
