Staff Sleep-a-Thon to Promote 24 Hour Pet Care
December 7th, 2011
"I really really REALLY want that puppy!"
"AWWW that kitten is SO cute!"
We know. We hear it all the time and we completely agree that the puppy and kitten are very cute. But, we also know how much work they are! That's why we're staying over night on December 7th to raise awareness that responsible pet ownership is a 24 hour a day job. The last thing we like to see is an animal go home only to return to the shelter because their people just were not prepared for all the time and patience a pet requires.
Dogs need walks, cats need litter boxes cleaned and everyone needs love and attention that sometimes can't just happen on a human's time frame.
Follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/indyhumane on December 7th from 8 PM til' the wee hours of the morning (or until we just can't stay awake any longer) as we talk about what's going on in the shelter and give YOU tips about responsible ownership.
We look forward to hearing from you and if you would like to make a donation to the puppies and kitties tonight, we'll make sure they get it in the form of a special after-dinner treat!

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!
