At 10 and 12 years old, bonded pair Mirabela and Isabela had been through a lot. Sick. Tired. Down on their luck; down, but not out. Their story didn’t begin at Humane Indiana, and the truth is, we’ll never really know what their beginnings held. Their spirits, however, told a story all their own, and the message was loud and clear: Don’t give up on us. We have more to give, together.

Writer and philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle, another can be drawn.”

For humans and shelter pets alike, this sentiment rings true. For every hardship or dead-end life may present, there are infinite opportunities to begin again. But for senior animals at shelters, who are often overlooked, many may not have an opportunity to do so, living out the remainder of their lives without their happy ending. However, for Mirabela and Isabela, a new circle was drawn thanks to the generosity of donors like YOU. Because of your support, Humane Indiana was there to ensure that this pair of seniors got their happily ever after.

Thanks to the kindness of supporters like you, Mirabela and Isabela found respite at Humane Indiana. They found TLC with the animal care technicians, who gave them love and built up their strength. They found a safe haven in their foster, Donna, who gave them a soft place to land. They found compassion from Lynn’s Doggie Spa, who provided free grooming to help them look their very best. And then finally, they found Terry, who gave them a forever home. None of this is possible without you, the donors who draw the next circles and drive Humane Indiana’s mission.

Now affectionately known as ‘Mimi’ and ‘Izzy,’ these sweet and deserving seniors are living their best lives with Terry and their new fur-sibling. Though it’s happy tails for Mimi and Izzy, there are countless other animals who are waiting to take their place.

You have the power to draw another circle for the next Mimi and Izzy. You, who believes in the promise of new beginnings. You, who knows it’s never too late to start again. Your gift creates infinite circles, and makes ALL the difference for an animal in need. Act on that power with a gift to Humane Indiana today. The next Mimi or Izzy is waiting.
