Your Gift Saves Lives

By giving to Friends of Indy Animals, you’re making a direct and lasting impact on the lives of our city’s most vulnerable animals: the abandoned, abused, and under-loved.

Your monthly or one-time gift can make all the difference to an animal in need. Commit to the animals in our city and your neighbors who care for them.


Tribute Gifts

Celebrate a special occasion or memorialize a loved one by making a donation in honor of a friend, loved one, or their pet.

Legacy gifts allow us to save animals and support the people who care for them long after your gift has been made. Your donation supports our Friends Forever Fund, which ensures homeless animals in Indianapolis will be healthy, safe, and loved forever.
