6 Important Notes From Indiana-PAW!
Indiana-PAW Friends,
We hope this note finds you and your
four-legged loved ones enjoying the warm weather, and gearing up for
a beautiful Spring season. We have several notes this evening, and
several opportunities for our volunteers and foster families to save
the lives of two very special dogs (Glacier and Louise), plus some
information for shelters & rescues around the State. Let's jump
right into it!
Community Outreach Volunteer Opportunities  With Spring right
around the corner, Indiana-PAW community outreach opportunities are
starting to pop up like tulips! Remember, when you help us staff
booths at community events, we are able to get important,
life-saving pet information out to Hoosiers around the state. We're
looking for volunteers for three upcoming community outreach
opportunities, so pull out your calendars and see if you can help!
- Opportunity #1: "Earth Day," Saturday, April 22nd,
American Legion Mall Park in downtown Indianapolis.
- Opportunity #2: "Petfest 2006 Spring Adoption Day," May
6th, Indiana State Fairgrounds. The event is dedicated to getting
as many animals adopted as possible -- last year, more than 40
shelters and organizations participated.
- Opportunity #3: "Walk for the Animals 2006"
walk-a-thon, benefiting the Hamilton County Humane Society, June
3rd, Cool Creek Park in Carmel.

like to participate in any of these wonderful events!
Dogs In Need Of Foster Homes: Louise &
Glacier  For members of the
Indiana-PAW "Foster Roster," we have two dogs who've come to our
attention who are in need of temporary foster homes (or, better yet,
PERMANENT homes!).
- Glacier (pictured right), the wonderfully well-behaved
deaf Pit Bull- mix who we took onto Fox-59 in January is, sadly,
not working out with her new family. We and the Morgan County
Humane Society are heartsick over this, but we're working together
to try to find Glacier a temporary foster home, until a permanent
home can be secured. Glacier is a well-behaved, sweet, charming
dog who is in need of immediate foster care.
- Louise is a Hurricane Katrina survivor, and
Indianapolis Animal Care & Control has asked for Indiana-PAW's
help in finding her a foster home. Louise is a female three-year
old Pit Bull-mix. She is a beautiful, wonderful, loving dog with
NO AGGRESSION ISSUES. She was heartworm positive, but Indianapolis
Animal Care & Control has treated her, and now they are
looking for a quiet foster home for her until a permanent home can
be secured. It is imperative that a foster home be secured ASAP.

or Louise until they can find a home.

New Phone for Spay-Neuter Services of Indiana

informed Indiana-PAW that they have a new phone number, and have
asked us to spread the information far and wide so that they "never
lose a client." The new phone number is 317-767- 7771.
