September Newsletter: Preventing Litters and Promoting Adoptions!

Indiana’s Cats and Dogs are Living Better Lives – Thanks to you!

We asked for your help, and you answered the call! A few weeks ago, we requested donations for our “special request” waiting list. Thanks to your generosity, we are able to provide support each to these critical projects.

Donations like this are vital to stopping overpopulation problems before they start. Every dollar helps!

A contribution today will help us respond quickly to the next call for help. Thank you!
