Dog Days Of Summer - Swimming In Indiana-PAW News!
Indiana-PAW Friends,
Is it hot enough for you? Well why
don't you grab a glass of lemonade and cool off for a minute while
you read some quick news blurbs from Indiana-PAW!
Prison Pups Need Your Help!
Klondike graduates and receives his
diploma. | The New Castle Henry
County Animal Shelter has a terrific program where they send a
handful of dogs from their shelter to a local prison, where inmates
work with the dogs for 6 weeks. This program helps the offenders
develop skills and character, and helps the dogs become more
adoptable, and more likely to find forever homes, rather than be
euthanized. The first class of three cell dogs has graduated, and so
far, only one dog has found a home. The shelter is looking for
either temporary foster homes or permanent homes for the remaining
two dogs, Klondike (two year old Husky) and Duke (one year old Pit
Bull mix). Both dogs are neutered, housebroken, fully vetted,
negative for heartworm, and have had obedience training. In
addition, the shelter is looking for ongoing short-term foster
parents to help with this program. If you would like to adopt
Klondike or Duke, or are willing to foster either of them, or any
other cell dogs, please e-mail Dana Salkoski at the New
Castle Henry County Animal Shelter.
Shop At Pet Supplies "PLUS" To Support
Indiana-PAW  Indiana-PAW supporters can advance
our mission by shopping at four Central Indiana Pets Supplies "PLUS"
stores to support Indiana-PAW! The way it works is simple. If you're
one of our supporters, with your permission, we'll send your name
and contact information to Pet Supplies "PLUS," and then, any time
you shop at any of the four local stores (located on the Westside of
Indy, in Broad Ripplie, in Noblesville, and on the Southside), 10%
of the profit on your purchases will be donated to Indiana- PAW!
This program has already resulted in much-needed financial support
to Indiana-PAW. If you'd like to help, click

Foster Parents Desperately Needed
Kittens fostered by Indiana-PAW volunteer Tracey
Bruick. | Indiana-PAW is in
desperate need of additional foster parents to support our flagship
"Foster Roster" program, which loans Indiana-PAW foster parents to
shelters and rescue groups across the State who need temporary homes
for animals at risk for euthanasia. We receive near-daily requests
from animal shelters who are forced to euthanize healthy animals due
to a lack of space. Our current foster parents work tirelessly to
help as many of these at-risk animals as possible, but they cannot
keep up with the deluge of requests we receive. Please consider
becoming an Indiana-PAW foster parent today by clicking
here.
Transport Coordinators Still Needed
Indiana-PAW volunteer Connor Fraser helps transport
dogs for Henry County shelter.
| Indiana-PAW still needs Transport
Coordinators to assist us in expanding our animal transport program.
Through our program, our volunteers transport animals from shelters
where they're at risk for euthanasia to rescue groups and other
shelters with space on the adoption floor. Recently, we have
gathered additional supplies needed to transport animals (e.g.,
leashes, crates). However, we are still looking for Transport
Coordinators to oversee the distribution of these supplies for.

Indiana-PAW volunteer Jan Myer.
