Impact Story: Sweet Pea & Her Puppies
All too often, dogs that find their way to shelters and rescues are already pregnant. This was the case with Sweet Pea when she arrived at Orange County Humane Society. She was placed in foster care with a veterinarian (Dr. Allison Kaderabek) just a few days before giving birth to THIRTEEN beautiful puppies!
Thanks to the Pet Friendly Plate Grant, Sweet Pea and all of her puppies were made adoption-ready with spay/neuter surgeries. All 13 have found forever homes and won’t have to worry about having litters of their own!
Fixing just one litter of puppies can prevent countless litters in the future. Your support is making a difference for pet overpopulation in Indiana!
Where We’re Saving Lives This Month
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 August:

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:
