Interested in adopting from IACS? Here’s how our adoption process works:
1. Look at our available animals for adoption online
2. Fill out our online adoption application with the name of the pet you have fallen in love with, OR leave it blank and our adoption counselors will help you pick your new best friend.
3. Submit the application and then come to the shelter.
Walkup Adoptions Daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
IMPORTANT: No appointments are necessary for walkup adoptions. However, we would encourage you to still fill out the adoption application online to help speed the process along at the shelter. https://www.indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet
