‼️ We have an urgent need to purchase an x-ray machine for Indianapolis Animal Care Services.

The machine they have been using is broken and the cost of sending every animal offsite for radiology scans is adding up fast.

A new machine is $47,000. We have committed to purchasing one and we need your help to get one in time for the new shelter opening.

🐾 The good news is, your gift will be DOUBLED when you give by April 30!

When our board member and founder, Mike Shinn heard about this, he knew he wanted to help. His beloved dog Conan benefited from an x-ray machine just like the one we need. ❤️‍🩹 So Mike gave a generous matching gift to make your gift go twice as far!

Will you send in a gift so it can be doubled, up to $13,000 and help provide an x-ray machine?

You'll love knowing that the shelter’s medical team will have access to the tools and equipment they need to care for animals in our city. And they'll know they can count on your support when they need it most!

One year.

In April, Blake will hit ONE YEAR with us… and we truly cannot understand how.

A whole year of watching families walk by him.
A whole year of being overlooked.
A whole year of this absolute dream of a dog waiting for someone to finally say, “that’s my dog.”

Because Blake? He’s everything.

He’s gentle with kids.
He’s respectful with cats.
He’s great with other dogs.
He’s the kind of dog who just fits into a home like he’s always belonged there.

No chaos. No drama. Just a good, loyal, loving soul who wants a couch, a family, and a forever.

The saddest part? Dogs like Blake are the ones who get missed the most… because they’re so easy. So quiet. So “perfect” that people assume someone else will scoop them up.

But no one has.

And we’re not okay with that anymore.

Blake deserves his moment.
He deserves his people.
He deserves to walk out of foster care and never look back.

Let’s make sure he doesn’t hit that one-year mark still waiting.

The indoor kennel parts have arrived 🤩 I haven't taken it all apart or inspected everything yet. We do have one post that looks like it may need replaced because of shipping damage, but it's very exciting to say the least. OmNom and Jordan are getting along beautifully, and we're looking forward to making some serious progress in the coming weeks now that all the winter cooties and yuck are starting to clear.
