Who We Are

We are a diverse group of individuals,who with the help of generous donations from our community,are dedicated to helping animals live better lives and educating the public on animal welfare issues. --- All of our animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested (dogs) combo tested (cats) and dewormed. ------- ADOPT A SHELTER ANIMAL...SAVE A LIFE....CHANGE A LIFE. ------------------------ FIDO SHELTER DOG PRISON PROGRAM FIDO SHELTER DOG PRISON PROGRAM: The FIDO shelter dog prison program addresses 3 issues, 1.) Saves healthy loving dogs from euthanasia. 2. Rehabilitation for the inmates. 3. Encourages responsible pet ownership by having our dogs spayed/neutered. We make every attempt to ensure that the adoption is a good fit to ensure animals are adopted to owners who will give them loving homes and make a commitment to the life of that animal. It has been proven that working with animals can help humanize inmates who have been incarcerated for long periods of time. It teaches them responsibility, how to interact in a group using non-violent methods to solve problems and gives them the unconditional love of a pet – something many of these inmates have never known. This program can help these inmate/handlers become productive members of society when they are released back into the community. In Indiana alone 16,000 inmates are released back into our community every year. We certainly want them better coming out than they were going into prison. We believe this dog program is one way to do this. For the inmates serving life sentences, their mission in life may very well become being the champion for animals that society throws away. FIDO was established September 4, 2008. 16 dogs are in the program at a time with 36 inmate handlers caring for and training them. 51 dogs have gone through this program – 36 have been adopted. The South Madison Community Foundation awarded FIDO a $5000.00 grant for 2009. -------------- 9 LIVES SHELTER CAT PRISON PROGRAM: The 9 Lives Shelter Cat Prison Program was established June 22, 2009 at Pendleton Correctional Industrial Facility. There are currently 73 cats from Anderson Animal Care and Control in the facility. A team of 6 inmates maintain and care for the cats. These cats are all available for adoption. As openings occur at PetSmart prison cats are put in the store for adoption. All cats are listed on Petfinder.com. To date 10 cats have been adopted.
