“There were major changes in policy at indianapolis animal care services (iacs), the municipal animal shelter, in 2024 to avoid overcrowding and euthanasia . Iacs did pick up nor take in stray dogs unless they were gravely sick or injured or extremely aggressive. As a result, stray, abandoned, and unwanted dogs were left to run loose on the streets of indianapolis. Further, iacs scheduled owner-surrender appointments as far in the future as 4-5 months. As a result f.i.d.o. Staff and volunteers frequently found stray and abandoned dogs. In addition, fido clients in crisis, due to such factors as impending eviction and jail, had no animal shelter for their dogs with the only alternative to turn them loose on the street. Therefore during the last half of 2024, f.i.d.o. Temporarily housed and found rescue for 66 dogs that would otherwise been left to roam the streets.”
