    The Humane Society of Indianapolis (IndyHumane) provides direct services for cats and dogs, including adoption, foster homes, medical care, and affordable spay/neuter and vaccine services for the public. In a typical year, IndyHumane serves more than 18,000 animals and achieves an animal live release rate of 96%. They are proud to have served Indianapolis since 1905.

    Since 2017, IndyHumane’s Senior Care program, launched with the support of The Grey Muzzle Organization, has helped rescue and adopt more than 821 senior dogs. The program aims to increase positive outcomes for senior dogs in central Indiana by transferring them from the municipal and other shelters to IndyHumane, where they receive necessary medical and dental care. A 2024 grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization will help IndyHumane serve at least 150 senior dogs through the program in 2024, with approximately 34 served with the grant funds. The program will give dogs like 9-year-old Pigpen (in the attached photo) a happy, healthy future!
