The Dolphin In Water Adventure- in Indiana!

Have you dreamed of swimming with the dolphins but didn't think it was possible in the midwest? Well believe it or not, the Indianapolis Zoo offers a Dolphin In Water Adventure program that takes you in the pool with the dolphins!! I haven't tried this, but it seems like a great opportunity and it is very reasonably priced. If anyone has done this I would love to hear your comments. For more information on this program visit the Indianapolis Zoo Website.

Angel Tree Program Aids Homeless Animals

Although it might seem early, Best Friends in Carmel will be putting up our annual Angel Tree this week! Pets are the latest victim of the economic downturn, and more and more pets are being surrendered to local shelters as families struggle to make ends meet. This has put a strain on shelter resources.

The Angel Tree Program was created in 2000 to help local shelters and rescue groups provide for the homeless pets in their care, and encourages pet lovers to donate food, treats, toys and other supplies needed by local shelters. From the week of Thanksgiving through the entire Christmas season, we will partner with the Humane Society of Hamilton County and other local rescue groups to find homes for adoptable pets and collect donations for the shelters.

Animal lovers are invited to stop by Best Friends at 376 Gradle Drive and select a dog or cat stocking from the Angel Tree in our lobby. Listed on each stocking is information about a pet in need of a new home, as well as details about supplies needed by the shelter. Donors are asked to purchase only the specific supplies requested by the shelter and only new items will be accepted.

For more information, please feel free to call (317) 848-7387. Please remember animals in need the holiday season!
