Fido Indie presents pet support, TNR and low-cost services to Marion County neighbors

Nick Clark, a case manager with Indianapolis nonprofit Fido Indie, told McKenna residents the group provides outreach across Marion County including spay/neuter assistance, low-cost vaccinations, microchipping and a pet food pantry. "We actually do more than just stray dogs, stray cats. We help folks who are experiencing financial hardship or going through some hard times," Clark said, summarizing the organization's focus.

Clark described partnerships with ACS for triage and with Indie Neighborhood Cats for trap-neuter-return (TNR) work; he said Fido Indie also helps elderly owners and can assist with temporary foster referrals after flooding. Clark listed contact options (info@fidoindy.org, nclark@FidoIndy.org, phone (317) 296-4811) and asked for volunteers for pantry operations and client intake.
