IACS DID PICK UP NOR TAKE IN STRAY DOGS UNLESS THEY WERE GRAVELY SICK OR INJURED OR EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE. AS A RESULT, STRAY, ABANDONED, AND UNWANTED DOGS WERE LEFT TO RUN LOOSE ON THE STREETS OF INDIANAPOLIS. FURTHER, IACS SCHEDULED OWNER-SURRENDER APPOINTMENTS AS FAR IN THE FUTURE AS 4-5 MONTHS. AS A RESULT F.I.D.O. STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS FREQUENTLY FOUND STRAY AND ABANDONED DOGS.
