INDIANAPOLIS — Get your furry friends ready for potentially deadly heat next week.

Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside (FIDO) wants to remind dog owners that when temperatures hit 90 degrees, the city’s ordinance says you must bring your pet inside a temperature-controlled building between 40-80 degrees.

“Ideally we'd love for the dogs to go into an air-conditioned house and run around with their people, but even a basement,” Darcie Kurtz, founder of FIDO said. “Basements usually stay pretty moderate, so that's a good option for some people. It could be a garage but it has to be air-conditioned or kept below 80 degrees. "

When temperatures hit 80 degrees, dogs also need some kind of shade such as a tarp or tree canopy.

At all times, dogs must have access to fresh, cool water regardless of the temperature.

If you see a dog outside, check first before calling the city to report it.

“If you see a dog outside don't assume it's living there,” Kurtz said. “The onus is on the people to check back in a few hours and if it's still out in the heat, then maybe go ahead and call Animal Care Services. Especially if the dog is showing signs of distress. "

You can contact IACS through Request Indy, or by calling the Mayor’s Action Center at 317-327-4622.

If you need supplies, like an indoor crate or flea treatments, that will allow your dog to come inside contact FIDO’s helpline at 317-221-1314.
