Nathan Winograd, director of the San Francisco-based National No-Kill Advocacy Center, which seeks to end the practice of euthanasia at U.S. animal shelters, will name Indianapolis his 2009 “community to watch” on Animal Wise Radio, which airs in Phoenix and the Twin Cities and can be heard online at www.animal wiseradio.com.
Winograd said things started looking up at Indianapolis’ shelters this fall when two new top officials joined the Humane Society of Indianapolis and more good news came last week when the city hired Philadelphia shelter chief operating officer Douglas Rae.
Rae will take the helm of Indianapolis Animal Care & Control next month and wants to cut the use of euthanasia there by 75 percent.
“Keep an eye on that shelter,” Winograd said in an interview. “I think you have some exciting things ahead.”
