Serious budget cuts at Indianapolis Animal Care and Control

There will be a budget meeting held on September 14 at 5:30 PM downtown to discuss the city's budget. They are proposing almost $200,000 in cuts from IACC. This would cut supplies including medical care for the animals. With an decrease in budget and supplies, an increase in killing animals would certainly happen. Even the most basic vet care might not be available due to budget constraints. Click here for more info and details on how you can help give a voice to Indy's homeless pets.

Patty, I agree with you.   I couldn't have said it any better.  It is very, very sad.

 

I don't know how any person could get rid of a pet that they have had for several years because it was getting too old.  That is one excuse that I have heard of getting rid of a family dog.  What are we teaching our children?  "Lifetime committment" is lost somewhere in this world....it's now a "throw away" world.

Why is my dog scratching so much – it drives us all crazy?!?

Sounds like someone has allergies.  Typically, allergies are of three types – food, fleas and hay fever. If we prevent fleas, take care of the food allergies, then the hay fever allergies can be lessened. The most common food things that dogs are allergic to are the things they eat most commonly: chicken, beef, lamb, eggs, wheat, corn, soy. These are the things that are in all of their foods.
