The 2012 move to ACT Rescue Rally is in full swing and eleven all-volunteer rescue organizations have joined the two- month initiative. More than 360 animals have left Indianapolis Animal Care and Control alive in the last two Rallies.
In 2011, 14,881 dogs and cats entered IACC. 2,152 (14%) were untreatable and euthanized. 5,771 (39%) were adoptable but killed. 2,042 (14%) were adopted, and 4,383 (29%) left alive via transfer (rescue organizations). The cost to return these animals to health after acquiring shelter-related illnesses can range from $200-$1,000+ before they leave the rescue organization and into a permanent home.
As you can see, small, all-volunteer animal rescue organizations play a big role in the life-saving safety net for at-risk animals who find their way to IACC – but like IACC itself, they receive only a small fraction of the community’s attention and support.
100% of donations to the Rescue Rally goes to supporting these quiet champions while at the same time increasing the number of animals that leave IACC alive to find their way into a foster and/or new home!
