Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside's mission is improving the lives of outside dogs. One of the ways we do this is through our Enrichment program. Volunteers walk dog(s) of clients who are unable to walk their dogs, whether due to time constraints or disabilities. Our focus is providing enrichment for dogs that primarily live outside, in order to improve their lives and socialization. All dogs participating in the program go through a behavior assessment with a trainer and then are paired with volunteers. Volunteers always work in pairs, so this is a great volunteer opportunity to bring a friend or partner to!

Description

FIDO stands for Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside. We are a non-profit group that works in low-income neighborhoods of Indianapolis. Our focus is finding and helping dogs living isolated on the end of a chain. We help people transition dogs inside the home to be part of the family. We also build large, secure enclosures to free dogs from the end of a chain and have a monthly pet food pantry. We consist of FIDO staff, contractors and 60+ volunteers.
