| Humane Education Our
Humane Education program engages a humane educator to visit area schools,
libraries, clubs, scout groups, etc. to present programs for children
and adults.
Caring
for pets, safety around animals, wildlife issues, and the connections
between animal and human abuse are examples of programs offered.These programs are offered at no cost. Reducing Pet Overpopulation We
sponsor H.O.P.E. (Help Over-Population End), a low cost spay/neuter program.
The HOPE Program is open to all pet owners. Several local veterinarians
participate in the program for us. Pet owners must pay us for a HOPE certificate
that they then take to a veterinarian on the programs to get the reduced
rate. Pet Adoptions Every year, approximately 2000 dogs and cats have to be euthanized at the Hendricks County Animal Control Facility because they are not adopted. |
