Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some cuddly canines up for adoption? There are dozens of deserving dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Indianapolis.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)


Chevi, shepherd mix

Chevi is an adorable female shepherd mix currently housed at Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership, Inc - ARPO.

Chevi gets along well with cats and dogs. She's already house-trained. Her vaccinations are up to date, and she's spayed.

From Chevi's current caretaker:

Hi my name is Chevi and my foster mom says I as old as the hills. (Approx. 16 years old). According to my vet I am very healthy for my age. I do take an anti-inflammatory on a daily basis to help with my old bones. I am looking for a retirement home to live out the rest of my days.

Dre, Labrador retriever

Dre is a male Labrador retriever dog currently housed at Love of Labs.

Dre is friendly as can be, and he gets along well with children, dogs or cats. No need to worry: He's already house-trained. He is neutered, and he has had all his shots.

Notes from Dre's caretakers:

Hi everyone, I'm Dre. I am a dapper, light-brown three year old lab and I weigh a hefty 125 pounds at the moment. Before you ask, yes, I do need to lose some weight. I hope my furrever family will be able to get my into a great fitness routine so I can shed the extra weight. I hope to get lots of loving as well.

Toast, mixed breed

Toast is a male mixed breed dog being cared for at Mended Hearts Rescue.

He is already vaccinated and neutered. Fear not: He's already house-trained.

Notes from Toast's caretakers:

Does walking around the neighborhood for an hour to exercise an energetic puppy sound like about the last thing you want to do? Potty training from scratch sound like the worst? Cool, Toast doesn't want to do those things either. He's a grown senior gentleman and is ready to find a family to love him!

Melville, mixed breed

Melville is a handsome male mixed breed dog in the care of The PAWSitivity Project, Inc.

Melville gets along well with cats. His ideal forever home would be a dog-free environment. Melville is neutered and vaccinated. Have no fear: He's already house-trained.

From Melville's current caretaker:

The perfect cuddle buddy for cold winter nights, Melville likes to snuggle in as close to you as he can. He is a calm boy that is content curled up next to you while watching TV or playing on his own with toys and treats. If you prefer to be more active, Melville is also happy to play fetch or tug for as long as you can last.
