GREENFIELD, Ind. (DATE) - Elanco Animal Health (NYSE: ELAN), today announced a series of new collaborations with local animal organizations as a part of its broader initiative to support the health and wellbeing of the Indianapolis community. Elanco is proud to work alongside

IndyHumane, a leading animal welfare organization dedicated to the care and protection of animals in Indianapolis, and Medical Mutts Service Dogs, an organization focused on training rescued dogs to be service dogs to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities. Additionally, Elanco is exploring service projects with members of Operation Indy Animals, including the annual Global Day of Purpose where employees across the globe participate in community service opportunities. These alliances reinforce Elanco's deep commitment to supporting the local community through initiatives that make life better for animals and people.

"At Elanco, we are deeply committed to the health and wellbeing of companion animals, and we recognize that impactful change happens when we work together," said Bobby Modi, Executive Vice President, U.S. Pet Health and Global Digital Transformation at Elanco. "By combining our expertise, an industry-leading product portfolio, and resources, with the invaluable work of community partners, we can create a stronger, healthier future for pets and their families right here in our own backyard."

As part of its work with IndyHumane, Elanco will become the exclusive provider of vaccines, therapeutics, and canine parasiticides for the shelter. This commitment ensures that all animals under IndyHumane's care will receive the highest quality veterinary products, reinforcing both organizations' shared dedication to going beyond for pets. Elanco and IndyHumane will also explore opportunities to develop future programs such as low and no cost vaccination clinics, microchip clinics and employee volunteer initiatives for the Indianapolis community.

IndyHumane proudly uses a number of Elanco products, including the first-and-only USDA conditionally-approved treatment for canine parvovirus (parvo), Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody (CPMA), in many of its parvo-infected dogs, including Alfred. Alfred was abandoned at the shelter with parvo, but thanks to the hard work of IndyHumane's staff and CPMA, Alfred made a full recovery. Elanco was proud to sponsor his adoption.

"We are incredibly excited to further our journey with Elanco. This collaboration is a game-changer for IndyHumane, ensuring that every animal in our care receives access to the highest quality products and veterinary support," said Donna Casomento, CEO at IndyHumane. "It allows us to further elevate the standard of care we provide, giving our animals the best possible chance at a healthy, happy life before finding a loving home. We look forward to a long and impactful alliance that will undoubtedly benefit the entire Indianapolis community through vaccine clinics, adoption sponsorships and more."

Elanco has also started working with Medical Mutts Service Dogs, a local organization that rescues shelter dogs and gives them a second chance at life by training them to become exceptional service dogs. As a part of this collaboration, Elanco is proudly sponsoring the training and adoption of Indy. Indy will join Elanco's headquarters opening on October 1 and be presented with her very own "employee badge". Elanco is proud to follow Indy throughout her journey assisting her handler.

"We're thrilled to partner with Elanco to provide a rescued dog the chance to become a lifeline for someone with a disability. This gift brings independence, security, and hope, showcasing the power of our Indianapolis community when compassion and innovation come together to change lives," said Dr. Jennifer Catett, CEO and Founder of Medical Mutts Service Dogs.
