WE ARE IN CRISIS
We have over 500 animals in our care!
The Need is Urgent
Due to the unprecedented number of animals in our care, we will be closing on Tuesdays & Thursday at 5pm to ensure that our team has adequate time to provide quality care to the HUNDREDS of animals in our facility. If you would like to help please: Adopt. Foster. Donate. Volunteer.
Everyday, for months now, more animals have been arriving than getting adopted. That number has continued to increase as both of the primary shelters in Marion County are either limiting or have completely closed intake.
More animals are being abandoned than ever before. Hit-by-car and other serious injuries are on the rise. Between the Hamilton County animals who need us, and those who are being abandoned and then coming in as strays, we are housing animals in offices, every visiting room, employees & volunteers are taking animals home, and we are still out of space.
