@mirrorindy @indydocumenters IACS notes "FIDO" (Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside) as a great partner in helping educate and provide aid to animals in need throughout Indianapolis, primarily those who spend a majority of time outside. @mirrorindy @indydocumenters @indygov
@mirrorindy @indydocumenters @indygov There were a reported 324 adoptions the past month through IACS. @mirrorindy @indydocumenters
@mirrorindy @indydocumenters @indygov Indy Pet Pride, Greenfield Strawberry Festival, and State House Market are just a few events that have taken place this summer to help promote adoptions and awareness with IACS! @indygov @indydocumenters @mirrorindy
@mirrorindy @indydocumenters @indygov Per IACS, as of June 2024, volunteer is the highest it's been with IACS, a huge success for the organization and animals.@mirrorindy @indydocumenters @indygov
@mirrorindy @indydocumenters @indygov Adequate kennel staffing continues to be a hurdle that IACS is actively working to fix. Have a heart for animals? Volunteer! @mirrorindy @indydocumenters @indygov
@mirrorindy @indydocumenters @indygov IACS board members emphasize the importance of what "backyard breeding" may look like on social media and why reporting these situations are urgent. @indydocumenters @mirrorindy
