IndyHumane

Established in 1905, IndyHumane is an Indy-based, independent nonprofit organization – a animal welfare leader in Indiana. Our vision is that all central Indiana animals are treated with dignity and respect and live free from cruelty, harm, and neglect. IndyHumane provides services to over 15,000 animals annually to keep pets happy, healthy, in loving homes, and to preserve the human-animal bond. We provide homeless animals a second chance to find a loving home and people a chance to find a loving companion. In addition, our partnerships with grassroots and volunteer-driven organizations coordinate critical veterinary care for pets of people experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty. We are one of the few Indiana shelters equipped to provide complex medical care for homeless dogs and cats, such as trauma surgeries and Parvo treatment. And thanks to our foster family network, we are a safety net for neonate puppies & kittens. Our pet pantry provides essential support to dozens of animal welfare and human service organizations, enabling seniors and other vulnerable persons to not have to make the choice to feed themselves or their pet. Vaccines are one of the primary ways to prevent the spread of disease and animal suffering. We offer affordable vaccinations and preventative care, as well as microchipping to help reunite lost pets with their people and reduce the number of strays. Pet over-population is a serious problem that requires many resources. We prevent thousands of accidental litters every year through affordable spay/neuter surgeries for owned animals, other shelter and rescue organizations, and community cats. Philanthropy is crucial to our mission. Your gift of any amount helps to keep shelter pets happy, healthy, adoption ready; and allows us to save lives, support pet-people relationships, reduce disease and suffering, and work towards ending the pet overpopulation crisis.
