Indianapolis Animal Care Services is dedicated to protecting and promoting the health, safety, and welfare of pets and livestock throughout Marion County. We advocate for animal welfare by connecting our community with the resources they need to ensure every animal thrives.
As the primary resource for animal care in our region, we work diligently to bridge the gap between people and pets. Whether through providing assistance for owned pets, collaborating with local and national rescue partners, or facilitating adoptions, our goal is to build a community where every animal is valued and cared for.
Our shelter serves as a hub of compassion, operating daily with a focus on both animal well-being and public service. We utilize a variety of programs, including fostering initiatives and our Indy CARES program, to support pets at every stage of their journey. By prioritizing positive reinforcement and community support, we strive to keep pets in their homes whenever possible and ensure those in our care are ready for their new beginnings.
Adoption is a wonderful journey, and we are committed to helping you find the perfect companion to join your family. We encourage all potential adopters to visit our shelter to meet our residents in person, where our staff is always happy to provide guidance on successful introductions. Our goal is to create joyful, lifelong partnerships that enrich the lives of both the animals and the people who love them.
There are many ways to make a difference in the lives of our animals, whether by adopting, fostering, volunteering, or donating. We invite you to visit us at 5001 E. Raymond St. or browse our current list of available pets online to find your new best friend today.
