In the fight against animal suffering, Indianapolis Animal Care Services is on the front lines. Every year, IACS takes in more than 15,000 dogs, cats and other animals. Many of them have been neglected, abandoned, or abused. 

We launched Friends of Indy Animals in 2003 because we knew that IACS needed help tackling this monumental challenge. In the years since, we’ve made major strides in making Indianapolis city where all animal lives are protected. 

Most important of all, we’ve helped IACS improve its save rate to 90%—a staggeringly high number for a large municipal shelter. With the help of supporters, we’re making our community one where every animal has a chance to live a life of dignity and security.
