Talkin' Turkey: News From Indiana-PAW
Indiana-PAW Friends,
It's hard to believe November has
arrived and Thanksgiving is just weeks away! With that theme in
mind, it's time to "talk turkey," and update you on the needs of
homeless dogs and cats across Indiana, along with the needs of the
agencies attempting to help them.
Specific Animals Needing Your Help
Boxie: St.
Bernard Sweetie Needs Immediate Help.
 Boxy
|
Paula Brock, the founder of Volunteers
for Animal Welfare (a Cedar Grove, Indiana organization), has
reached out to Indiana-PAW for help for a sweet 1 1/2 year old St.
Bernard named Boxie
(pictured at left) who had lived in an apartment, but is now chained
up at a trailer since her owner moved out of state and abandoned
her. Boxie is kid and dog friendly! If you can foster Boxie while
Paula and her agency find her a permanent home, please contact Paula
Brock with Volunteers For Animal Welfare.
Rescued From Connersville: A New Beginning.
 Gypsy & Little
Red |
Gypsy
and Little Red (pictured at right) are two of the 30+ dogs, cats
and kittens who were recently rescued from extremely poor conditions
in Connersville, Indiana. Gypsy and Red need foster homes ASAP, and
were hoping one of you can help. Little Red is a Beagle-Corgi mix,
neutered male, who is about 7, likes other dogs, and is healthy.
Gypsy is a shy Doberman-mix, female, about 50-60 pounds, who is
middle-aged and loves to be petted, and likes other dogs. Foster
care would help socialize these beautiful girls and increase their
adoptability at HELP
The Animals, Inc., the Richmond, Indiana shelter trying to help
them. Please click
here if you are interested in fostering Little Red or Gypsy.
Zeke, Abby Rose, Pete & Rojo:
Indiana-PAW Pets Of The Week.
Because there are thousands of
animals awaiting adoption at Indiana animal shelters and rescue
groups who are at risk for euthanasia, Indiana-PAW, in partnership
with Lucky
Dog Retreat, spotlights these wonderful pets through the "Pet Of
The Week" feature at Indiana-PAW's website. This week, learn about
four very special animals available for adoption: Zeke
the cat, Abby
Rose the Whippet-mix, Petey
the Beagle, & Rojo
