Welcome to Spring in Indiana! The grass is starting to green up, the tulips are blooming, and Indiana-PAW is hitting the road to bring our educational messages to Hoosiers everywhere. This Saturday, we're honored to be participating in the "Tour for Life" adoption event being hosted by Indianapolis Animal Care & Control, one of the hardest working animal shelters in the State.
Stopping in more than 20 U.S. cities to help save homeless pets' lives across America, "Tour for Life" is the North Shore Animal League America's (NSALA's) month-long cooperative initiative with animal shelters across the country. Since its inception in 2001, "Tour for Life" has been promoting the importance of adopting shelter dogs and cats as a life-saving measure.
This weekend, "Tour for Life" will be coming to Indianapolis with a two-day event on Saturday and Sunday, April 19th and 20th, at Indianapolis Animal Care & Control (IACC), located at 2600 S. Harding St., Indianapolis, IN 46221. This will provide a terrific opportunity for citizens to come out to meet hundreds of adoptable animals from not only IACC, but many other local rescue groups as well.
This Saturday, IACC, Indiana-PAW, and many local animal rescue groups will anchor the event at IACC between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Waylon, Indiana-PAW's Canine Ambassador, will be making his inaugural appearance with us, helping us educate citizens about the critical need to be responsible and spay/neuter, and adopt rather than buy animals. Then, this Sunday, IACC will have NSALA at the event with the NSALA Mobile Adoption Unit, along with additional rescue groups with adoptable animals (and, naturally, all of the wonderful IACC animals).
So, if you're looking to adopt a wonderful dog or cat, THIS IS THE WEEKEND to do it! Come to the "Tour For Life" this Saturday or Sunday, and help give a wonderful "second leash on life" to a dog, cat, kitten or puppy. With hundreds of animal available for adoption, you are bound to meet one you love.
