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.
