Humane Society of Indianapolis to Open Animal Welfare Center
November 30th, 2011
IndyHumane to offer vaccine services and other resources through collaborative partnership in underserved area of Indianapolis
IndyHumane announced today that it will open its long awaited Animal Welfare Center on the near Westside at Holmes and West Michigan Streets in the Haughville neighborhood. The organization will be one of the first of its kind in the nation to provide animal welfare partner groups with phone lines, a physical address, and a presence in the city’s target neighborhoods.
The IndyHumane Animal Welfare Center, which will open in the spring of 2012, will house the Albert G. and Sara I. Reuben Vaccination Clinic, and will offer low cost cat and dog vaccines. The center will also provide pet-care resources and assistance with feral cats, pit bulls, and chained dogs via the efforts of the IndyHumane Outreach/Education Coordinator and our partner groups: IndyFeral, Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside (FIDO), and Indy Pit Crew.
Additionally the IndyHumane Animal Welfare Center will be the home of the Albert G. and Sara I. Reuben Spay- Neuter Initiative. While the center will not immediately be able to offer high volume spay/neuter services, it will be the call center for SpayIN(diana), a referral hotline offering spay/neuter referral assistance on a statewide level. Once the additional funds are raised, a spay/neuter clinic will be added and will provide these much needed services.
“In our community, 10,000 dogs and cats are euthanized each year,” said Kirsten VantWoud, who is currently director of shelter operations at the North Michigan Road location and who will lead operations at the IndyHumane Animal Welfare Center. “That number is substantially down from previous years thanks to the diligence of many dedicated groups. What is unchanged is the18,000 animals brought in each year to Indianapolis Animal Care and Control. Nearly 75% of these animals come from only 10 zip codes. Our Center is in the heart of one of those zip codes.”
