Friends,

Tonight, we're writing to ask for your help on two fronts. First, we're looking for more "chauffeurs" for our transport program, which provides life-saving assistance to animals in overcrowded shelters. Second, we're looking for "maids and butlers" - i.e., heroes willing to open their homes as foster parents temporarily for animals who will otherwise have to be euthanized. Read on to learn how you can help . . .

Wag's Stray Animal Foundation Needs A Nursing Mom
Wag's Stray Animal Foundation has asked Indiana-PAW to spread the word that they have an emergency need for a nursing momma dog for 7 orphaned puppies who were found abandoned in a garage in Beech Grove. Also, we're sure Wag's would also love a foster home willing to assist. If you can help in either respect, click here or call Pam at Wag's Stray Animal Foundation, Inc. at 317-335-7354.

Morgan County Humane Society Needs Help
The Morgan County Humane Society, located in Martinsville, Indiana, has asked Indiana-PAW to put out the word that they are flooded with animals, and need foster homes for a dog named Patty, a skinny shepherd mix, and her 9 puppies, who are just a few weeks old. They also need a foster home for a beautiful black spaniel named Lady Bug, along with her pups, who are due any day. If someone will foster these mama dogs and their puppies, the Morgan County Humane Society will work to find them permanent, loving homes. If you can help, call Diane Hess at 765-349-9177 or at 765-342-0903, or e-mail her.

Mazi needs a foster home.

Hamilton County Humane Needs Foster Home For Mazi
The Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) needs an experienced foster parent for a beautiful dog named Mazi (pictured at left). Mazi arrived at the shelter with about nine pups. Those that survived have all been adopted. Mazi was adopted out, but was returned to the shelter after she became a bit over protective of her new adoptive parent. HSHC feels Mazi can still make a great pet, under the right circumstances. However, the shelter is always very full, and so a foster home is needed for Mazi. If you can help, click here.

And thanks to all of YOU for all you do for Indiana animals!
