Legislation
Supporting humane legislation is crucial for the protection of animals in the state of Indiana. As an organization that represents those that cannot speak for themselves, your voice is needed as are the voices of your donors, supporters and volunteers. Indiana must change the treatment of its animals and legislators need to hear from you and your organization.
