Vision

Our Vision

Our vision is that all Central Indiana animals are treated with dignity and respect and live free from cruelty, harm and neglect.

Our Mission

The Humane Society of Indianapolis is the leading voice for the welfare of animals and improving their quality of life. IndyHumane is the first choice in providing direct services for shelter cats and dogs, including adoption, foster home placement, behavior training, appropriate medical care, and affordable spay/neuter services. As the voice for the animals, IndyHumane brings together like-minded animal-focused individuals and groups to educate the public about animal welfare issues and concerns. For more than 100 years, it's all about the animals.

Our Values

Compassion

We respect every animal that comes through our door as a valued life and make medically appropriate decisions in the best interest of the animals.

Respect

We recognize the strong bond between humans and animals and are compassionate in the decisions we make and actions we take that impact that relationship.

Collaboration

We work with other animal-focused individuals and groups to ensure that animals have a strong voice to advocate for their welfare.

Integrity

We can be trusted to do what we say we will do. We tell the truth, even when it may be painful. We make decisions based on what we believe is the right thing to do for the animals, their owners and their prospective owners.

Fiscal Responsibility

We are good stewards of the resources entrusted to us, including both financial and human resources.
