Impact Story: Fall Adoption Events!
Did you know that many Indiana shelters are FULL? While spaying and neutering will prevent future shelter intake, we can’t forget about the pets that are already there!
Last quarter, Pet Friendly Services hosted two adoption events to match adoptable pets with forever families. “Tails & Ales” at Broad Ripple Brewpub had six participating rescues, and “Love Them for Life” at Tom Wood Subaru had fourteen. These rescues earned up to three free spay/neuter certificates from Pet Friendly Services for attending the event. Many matches were made and some pets went home that very day!
To increase adoptions across the state, Pet Friendly Services created the Pet Friendly Adoption Guide. We encourage you to check it out and share with others! Indiana shelters and rescue groups have every kind of beautiful pet, ready to be adopted and loved. Adopters are sure to find their perfect pet!
Where We Saved Lives Last Quarter
The Pet Friendly Plate Grant allows shelters and rescues to fix their animals for FREE! This makes them healthy, happy, and adoption-ready.
The Community Cat Program Grant provides rescue groups and shelters with 25 FREE surgery certificates each year, to be used for Trap-Neuter-Return programs for outdoor cats. These certificates include a rabies vaccination and mandatory eartip.
The following organizations received their annual Pet Friendly Plate Grant and Community Cat Grant spay/neuter certificates in the third quarter of 2022:

Catching up with The FIX is IN!
In 2020, Pet Friendly Services launched The FIX is IN! to expand access to care and spay/neuter. Through our partnership with Public Vet, this mobile clinic is reaching under-served areas in dire need. These clinics can fix up to 200 cats per day – which lessens the backlog on vet offices in the area.
Pet Friendly Services provides financial assistance to families and colony caretakers who could not otherwise afford to fix their cats, helping to stop overpopulation at the source. Here’s the impact we’ve made so far this year:
To see where The Fix is IN! will be next and to make an appointment, visit Public Vet’s website.
Pet Friendly Services is the only statewide non-profit that addresses pet over population at the source and receives no government funding.=
Your support makes a meaningful difference for the lives of cats and dogs in Indiana.
