the delilah fund
from tragedy to triumph
Delilah arrived at IndyHumane after surviving a devastating house fire that left her with unimaginable injuries. Her skin was burned beyond recognition, and her pain was overwhelming.
Our dedicated medical team worked tirelessly — removing damaged tissue, treating her wounds, and guiding her through a grueling recovery. Delilah’s journey was long, but she never gave up — and neither did we.
Thanks to expert veterinary care and the compassion of our supporters, Delilah made an incredible recovery. Today, she’s a living example of what’s possible when animals in crisis receive immediate, lifesaving treatment.

no animal should have to wait for help
Delilah’s story is powerful—but sadly, it’s not unique. Every year, animals arrive at IndyHumane in critical condition, in need of urgent medical care.
Animals coming into our care often arrive with life‑threatening injuries that demand immediate, specialized medical intervention to survive. That’s why they need help now.
The Delilah Fund was created so our medical team can say “yes” the moment an animal comes through our doors — without hesitation, without delay.
be their lifeline
help us be ready for the next emergency
We never want to be in a position where we have to weigh an animal’s life against what’s in our budget. But without a fully funded emergency medical fund, that’s the heartbreaking reality shelters face.
Your donation to the Delilah Fund means that no animal will be left to suffer while waiting for care. It means our team can act immediately and give every pet the best possible chance at a happy, healthy life.
100% of your donation to the Delilah Fund goes directly to emergency medical care.
Your generosity saves lives — without it, we couldn’t do this work.
