Who We Serve
FIDO Indy works with Indianapolis dog owners who are experiencing financial hardship and need additional support to provide care for their pets in accordance with local animal care and treatment laws. We provide education on these ordinances, in addition to supplies, services, and outreach to help dog owners comply and improve the quality of life for their pets. While our direct programs focus on dogs, we also facilitate registration for cat only households and community cat caretakers to ensure they can access resources provided by our partners at Indy Neighborhood Cats via our joint Pet Food Pantry.
