关于我们
IndyHumane provides direct services for cats and dogs, including adoption, foster home placement, positive reinforcement behavior training for adoptable animals, appropriate medical care, and affordable spay/neuter and low-cost vaccination services to the public. In 2019, supported by more than 600 volunteers, we provided services to more than 10,000 dogs and cats, found loving homes for more than 3,800 homeless pets, and achieved a live release rate of 96%. As a limited intake shelter, we take in as many animals as we can save every day. We do not euthanize animals for length of stay, kennel space, or cost of care. Our model for care is centered around ensuring the Five Freedoms (freedom from hunger and thirst, freedom from discomfort, freedom from pain, injury, or disease, and freedom to express normal behavior) for all our shelter animals. We are proud to have served Indianapolis since 1905.

For the past 10 weeks, we've been treating Satine for Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD)—a painful autoimmune disease affecting large breed puppies. Her case was especially severe, impacting her joints and even her ribs. At one point, she was so sick she required hospitalization, tube feedings, and IV pain management—we weren't sure if she would survive. ?? But we didn't give up on her—and neither did our dedicated veterinary team, including Marissa Ramon, our current Purdue extern! ???? Thanks to our strong partnership with Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine, clinical-year vet students get hands-on experience in shelter medicine, working alongside our team to provide life-saving care. Marissa has been instrumental in Satine's recovery and may even be her future adopter! Not only do we save lives, but we help train the next generation of veterinarians—ensuring they gain essential experience in surgical and medical cases. Many of our externs, like Marissa, go on to work in shelter medicine, making an even bigger impact in our community! Satine is now back to being a happy, playful puppy, and we couldn't be more grateful for our team and partners who helped her heal. Our team doesn't wait to jump in and save lives, we do it right away (whether we can secure funding or not). This is where our Medical Fund comes in, so that we don't have to make incredibly tough decisions based on financial need. ??

When Milo arrived at IndyHumane, he was in rough shape—to put it lightly. With a broken leg and a severely injured eye, likely from trauma, he was in pain and needed urgent medical care. His owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him, knowing he needed more help than she could provide. At IndyHumane, we don't wait until we have the funds raised to say ‘yes'—we act immediately. Milo's surgeries to remove his damaged leg and eye were estimated to cost well over $1,000, but delaying wasn't an option. Our team jumped into action, knowing that his chance at a pain-free life depended on it. This is why we rely on our Medical Fund—so we never have to make the heartbreaking decision to say "no" to an animal in need. With multiple urgent medical cases coming in every week, the costs add up fast, but we refuse to let money determine whether an animal gets the care they deserve. And because of that commitment, Milo got his second chance. After weeks of recovery, resilience, and love, something amazing happened… he found his perfect match! Milo was adopted by an amputee, proving that second chances can lead to the most incredible connections. Help us continue saving lives like Milo's—donate to our Medical Fund today! https://lnkd.in/gu4wXP6U
