Hi friends, we’re Stormy & Keoni! 🐾💛

✨ I’m Stormy – I’m 6 years old, and my mom Carolyn adopted me 3 years ago. I had puppies once, but my mom said no more for me — I’m her only baby now! The nice people at the vet clinic agreed, and today I got spayed thanks to Operation Indy Animals and a grant from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust.

✨ And I’m Keoni – I’m 5 years old, a wiggly boy since the day my mom Lois brought me home as a puppy right after she bought her house. Today I got neutered, which means I get to be healthier and happier too!

We’re just two of the many lucky pups whose lives are brighter thanks to the free spay/neuter event happening right now. 🐶💖

And guess what? There are still free appointments available — and they even include transportation! 🚐🐾
