Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some lovable pups up for adoption? There are dozens of great 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.)


Marshall, Shetland sheepdog mix

Marshall is a darling male Shetland sheepdog mix being kept at LUV A DOG RESCUE.

Marshall will get along great with children, cats or dogs. He's already house-trained. He already has had all of his shots, and he is neutered.

From Marshall's current caretaker:

I am Marshall. Five years old, I weigh 60 pounds. I am seeking a new home. Well-mannered and easy on a leash, I am a housedog in search of another large breed, friendly dog to be my companion. A big, secure, fenced yard is a must and kind humans who can show me the attention I crave.

Shiloh, American Staffordshire terrier mix

Shiloh is an adorable female American Staffordshire terrier mix being kept at LUV A DOG RESCUE.

Shiloh loves other dogs, cats and children. Fear not: She is already house-trained. Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she is spayed.

Shiloh's current caretakers say:

For several years I was in a loving home. Human circumstances changed and, sadly, I had to go to a shelter. Now I am so happy as I am in a loving foster home with a child, two cats and the biggest fenced yard I have ever seen!

Toby, Labrador retriever

Toby is a charming male Labrador retriever dog being kept at Love of Labs.

Toby loves being around people. He'll do great in a home with kids! No need to worry: He is already house-trained. He's been vaccinated and neutered.

From Toby's current caretaker:

Hello, I am Toby, I am a very sweet five year old black lab mix that really wants to find my happily ever after for more than one reason. See, I am heartworm positive and right now I am living at a boarding facility and can't start my treatment until I go home. I need a more relaxed environment to do my treatment. But don't worry, my treatment is fully paid for by LOLIN and once I'm through it, I will be brand spanking new!

Boomer, Labrador retriever

Boomer is a lovable male Labrador retriever dog being kept at Love of Labs.

Boomer is neutered and vaccinated. He has mastered his house-training etiquette.

Notes from Boomer's caretakers:

Hi everyone, meet Boomer. Boomer is a six-year-old silver/gray, full blooded Labrador. He weighs approximately 120 lbs but thinks he’s a tiny Chihuahua! Boomer lives with kids that he loves to play outside with, chasing them around. He’s very protective so anytime the kids go out to play he’s right there with them either playing or keeping guard. He always wants to be near his family whether they’re inside or outside.
