Very nice place, friendly people,

Wonderful people. I have a cat through the "Pets heal Vets" program when he got sick I didn't have a way to get him there so they sent someone to pick him up. When I got the bad news and.had to put him to sleep they found a way to get me there so I could say goodbye and be there for him to the end. All the staff was so kind and were very comforting to me. These people truly love animals and it shows. I definitely consider them family.

Questions & Answers

Instead of birthday presents for my 12th birthday, I am asking for animal donations from my family and friends. What supplies do you need most?

Sarah Rolinson | Oct 22, 2018
Jared O'Dell | Oct 22, 2018

That is a very nice thing to do! You should give them a call directly to ask for specific needs, as these questions go to other Google users and not the shelter. Good luck! Mark thumbs up if this helps!

My daughter adopted a cat and she not able to care for the cat any longer, she advised me that the Humane Society will not take the cat back, what are her options she would like to see the cat happy

Pam Robbins | Oct 22, 2019
Julie Lingren | Oct 22, 2019

Doesn't sound accurate. I just copied this directly from the HSHC website: "If your match doesn’t turn out to be the love of your life, our adoption policy requires the animal be returned to the shelter so we can ensure they are safely re-homed. Finding a pet a new home via Craigslist or other advertising outlets often results in a devastating outcome for an animal. Someone else out there is the right match, and we promise not to give up until we’ve found that home."

Hi, was wanting to know if we're allowed to walk in and maybe cuddle and play with some of the dogs? Been thinking about getting a dog soon and would like to see what kind of temperament i most enjoy being around!

Moka Kuryu | Oct 21, 2021
Kris Good | Oct 21, 2021

I believe you have to fill out an adoption application before you can meet any dogs. Check before you go & possibly waste your time. We were just looking for a cat on Saturday & had to have an adoption app turned in first. Awesome facility & staff.

I just have a question, I have 2 dogs and they both have a bump or growth and wanted to just have the test done where they take a needle sample and see if there are cancer cells or if it is just a fatty tumor. Can you do that there?

Deborah Neudecker | Oct 22, 2018
Dee Frash | Oct 22, 2018

No, they don't do things like that unless the animal is under their care. There is the low cost clinic next door and they may be able to help.

Check out their website they are good about posting the animals that are available.

Do you take donations of dog food? I have 15 lbs. of Purina Green in a plastic container. My dog no longer eats the Purina.

Jim Morin | Nov 25, 2021

I don't believe they take opened food

Can I rehome a pair of parakeets ?

Abi Armstrong (_Itz.Hope_) | Oct 21, 2021
Sarah Buck | Oct 21, 2021

That is a great question! I volunteer there and although I am not familiar with there being a section for parakeets they may have a foster program I am not aware of! Definitely call into the shelter to see if/how they could assist you and the parakeets.

My 13 year old Grandaughter wants to come cuddle and pet the cats. Is that allowed?

Brenda Lohman | Oct 21, 2021
REGINA HUSTON | Oct 21, 2021

Even if you are just going to visit and meet kitties, you will need to fill out an application before visiting, this is so they can also do a background check for everyone [animals included] safety. Just note that sometimes there will be a wait depending on how busy [like sunday mornings]

How much is the adoption fee?

X3.Undeadz | Oct 21, 2021
Gail P | Oct 21, 2021

It varies depending on dog or cat as well as age. Adult cats can be $55 or less (this includes spay/neuter, combo test, microchip, first round of vaccines and more). Check the website for adoption fees, and keep an eye out for special deals and events too!

I am in need of help with feral cats on our farm. I have trapped and had spayed all I could before they rejected the trap. It has now caused 1 of my dogs $300 in vet bills and I don't know what to do! Can you folks help?! I don't know who else to as

Jennifer Perrin | Oct 21, 2020
Matthew Van Duyn | Oct 21, 2020

I don't live there any more but I remember a group called Indy Feral that traps, spays and releases cats. If that doesn't work call the Hamilton County Humane Society to ask if they have any programs to assist you. If they don't keep trying. Their are groups out there that can help. Try Facebook as well. Save a Stray is one of them. Hope that helps!

My husband is seriously ill and having a dog is no longer an option. I've tried reaching out to family/friends/coworkers but no luck. I went to IndyHuman but was told they have no room. Will you accept pets? I do want to send him to the IAC.

Rachelle Patterson | Oct 22, 2018
Lisa | Oct 22, 2018

Do you have any friends or family in Hamilton county? There are other animal support groups in Indianapolis. Try calling local pets stores and find out which animal agencies "they" donate either money or supplies to. If you have a pure bred or you know the mix ie: lab/pitbull, call both lab and pit bull rescues and see if they have room to take them. CAUTION Always find out euthanasia policies. You could also tell these agencies about your husband and see if there are any foster homes available to help until you or they can find a forever home. Best wishes to you and your husband. I hope he is well soon.

Beverly Shrake | Oct 22, 2018

No, these records are not available on line. You should have received paperwork with all details at time of adoption. If you cannot locate them, you can obtain a copy by contacting them. They will be glad to print or email them to you. You should also be able to obtain rabies vaccine records from your chosen vet, as they are the ones who administered the rabies vaccine, not the Humane Society.
