LJ's PETS Fundraisers

Laura Jo's Cookies for PETS Fundraisers

Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership, Inc.

The Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership, Inc. was established in 1998 by a group of Indianapolis citizens concerned about the continuing high rate of euthanasia in our city. ARPO seeks to unite animal-related businesses and organizations in central Indiana for the purpose of promoting responsible pet ownership and decreasing the number of companion animals surrendered to shelters. ARPO is funded solely by donations and is staffed entirely by volunteers. We do not have a shelter, so all of our adoptable animals are housed in temporary foster homes until loving permanent homes are found. ARPO has placed over 6,300 at risk animals in homes as beloved pets since its inception.

Clancy's Dream Border Collie Rescue

Clancy’s Dream brings help to Border Collies. We provide rescue, medical, rehabilitation, and adoption assistance for neglected, abused, injured or abandoned Border Collies. After Clancy's unexpected death, his owners wanted his memory to live forever. Brainstorming, "Clancy's Dream" went from an idea to a conversation, to an organization in just ten short days, and today, 100's of dogs are saved every year. Despite the pain, knowing they would never see Clancy again, they now see him every day through his rescue efforts.
