Giving Tuesday
Because of YOU...we have collectively raised a grand total of $25,873.81 during #GivingTuesday for the animals in our care!!!
We are speechless. Words cannot convey just how grateful we are. On behalf of all of us at FWACC, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generosity during this day of giving. Your support is making a real difference in the lives of the over 11,000 animals we serve per year and we couldn't continue our mission without you. Thank you for your kindness and commitment to making the world a better place for these precious beings we get to enjoy life with.
We will continue to show up each day for the faces below with the support of our staff, volunteers, fosters, donors and loving community members. Together, we are a voice for the voiceless. Thank you.
Adopt a Hoosier Shelter Pet Month
We are thrilled to announce that Governor Holcomb has designated the month of November as Adopt a Hoosier Shelter Pet Month through a proclamation! In order to celebrate and bring awareness to pets needing a forever home, FWACC is having an adoption sale from November 5th through the 22nd!
During this sale, dogs 6 months - 6 years will be $50 to adopt, dogs 7+ and small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits will not have an adoption fee and all cats will be $5 to adopt.
If you are interested in bringing home a new family member, you can read about our same-day adoption process and view all animals available to adopt on our adoption page.
