I adopted the best cat from here! I love her so much and had a wonderful experience with the shelter and the employees. Definitely do consider adopting from Indianapolis Animal Care!

They do their best to save animals and their foster program is great and so is try before you adopt. Many wonderful animals waiting for their forever, indoor homes. Plenty of love and kisses To go around.

Ive adopted one dog and fostered another through IACS. First of all, thank you IACS for providing me with a lifelong friend! I fostered another dog recently as well, and unfortunately it didn't work out in my home for him, the intake crew was very kind and helped me work through everything and I hope that dog finds an excellent home. They will do everything they can to make sure that pets are provided with a safe and healthy environment.

the staff was very friendly and helpful. i absolutely love that the fees for these fur babies are waived. the animals are all very well taken care of. i just adopted a baby kitten last friday and she came spayed and with all vaccines minus her rabies shot due to how tiny she is. she is a happy, healthy, and very loving little kitten!! i 100% recommend them for anyone looking to adopt a fur baby!!!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Is this a no kill shelter?

Lisa Frazier- Hoskins | Oct 30, 2017
Alysa Epperson | Oct 30, 2019

Just some information I want to include! I'm a volunteer at IACS. We aren't a not kill shelter... YET. To be qualified as a no kill shelter you need to have a "survival" rate of 90%. It is publicly funded, and they are required to accept all animals regardless of space. However, they do NOT euthanize for space. Only for cases where the animal is too sick, has severe (and I mean severe) behavioral issues, etc. The only way to help them become "no kill" is to volunteer, foster, adopt. I hope this helps!

I have a dog that I can’t no longer take care of so is there anyway I give it to y’all?

Young Gee | Oct 30, 2019
Thomas Cooney | Oct 30, 2019

If you're rehoming, please charge a fee and/or get to know the person youre entrusting with a life. Criminals prey on craigslist dogs to be used as bait dogs for dogfighting rings.

I am looking for a black lab full blooded puppy can anyone help?

kelly winkler | Oct 30, 2019
BabeLisaLovesBilly | Oct 30, 2019

Dawn Stamper, that was pretty rude.. but anyways, you never know what you'll find! Yes the likelyhood of the exact thing you're looking for is low but possible. They can also hook you up with the numbers to a rescue that focuses on a certain breed in the area. Good luck, I hope you find your perfect fur butt and live happily ever after. Don't be discouraged by miserable people..

What kind of dogs do they have because one of my dogs died yesterday and my other dog is lonely and sad so he needs a friend, he is a pitbull

Armando .A | Oct 30, 2018
Amber Ciofalo | Oct 30, 2018

All different kinds of dogs. Unfortunately a high number of them seem to be "pit bull" and "pit-bull" mixes. It sounds like it would be a great place for you to look into rescuing another dog. I was disappointed due to breed restrictions where I live.

The shelter no longer does meet and greets, as we learned that it was not a good indicator for adoption success in the home. We instead implemented a 2 week trial adoption program called, Cuddle Before You Commit. To participate all you need to do is let adoption staff know at the time of your adoption.

Do I got pay to get one??

Jose Gomez | Oct 30, 2019
Mike Smith | Oct 29, 2021

Honestly just because someone asked if they don’t have to pay for a dog don’t mean they don’t have the money to pay for one. It was a clear question “ do he have to pay to get one” if you didn’t know the answer you didn’t have to comment. Anyone will take a free dog over paying for one if they had the Choice to.

What all is needed if you're wanting to adopt a cat?

Heidi Smith | Oct 30, 2019
Cardboard Socks | Oct 30, 2019

You just need to be able to prove that you are responsible owner. And I believe there is an adoption fee, I believe it is 40 or 60 bucks. When I went there they were having a deal with no adoption fees. You also must make sure the cat is spayed or neutered, or has an appointment with the vet. They will let you take a cat even if it is not spayed or neutered, but you need to set an appointment to get it spayed or neutered within a week. This will be free and animal services will provide it for you.

deattra banks | Oct 30, 2019
Thomas Cooney | Oct 30, 2019

There is a special right now for senior 6 years old and over, as well as long term residents, but the normal adoption fee is $60 which includes vaccines, heartworm test, microchip and spay/neuter. The costs of dog ownership/feeding/veterinary care add up quickly and sometimes unexpectedly, so if the cost is going to be an issue you definitely want to look at your budget as well as local resources such as FIDO's monthly pet food pantry and ask about low cost veterinary care too. There are lots of resources available in our city if you know where to look for them!

If my dog get loose and dont know how he got away can you help find him or who do i call to fet help?

christian hobson | Oct 30, 2017
Eric McNeely | Oct 30, 2017

You have to go in and see if they picked it up. They won't tell you over the phone. Plus if they did, be ready for some citations, they love to give those out for what ever B.S. they can come up with. Also they are trained to aggressively take your license so they can hold it against you. If you can't pay or for what ever benefit for them. Just be careful off these ppl. Their is an app. On facebook that alot of ppl use for lost animals in different areas. It might be helpful.
