Jane, Indy has FIDO, Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside. They help get dogs off tethers/chains. They also have taken over responsibility for the pet food pantry.
We now have three black cats. Newest one, QT or Cutie, is a 2 year old but chose us even though we wanted a kitten. Turned out she was starving on what she was getting in the free roaming cat room and to top it off appears to have ringworm. She is our project cat.
The decision of REI to close on "Black Friday" is just a small gesture in the retail universe but I hope it will inspire its' members and other people to do something else more meaningful and environmentally conscious besides shopping on that day. The meaning of Thanksgiving and Christmas has long been lost due to the pressure on people to buy stuff. I hope this can be become a trend!
The Mall of America is closed on Thanksgiving this year.
And here's a list of stores that are also closed: http://www.forbes.com/sites/walterlo.../#5312e7c82705
Mind you, Macy's is opening an hour earlier than last year.
