We are in an all-volunteer group that focuses on helping dog owners to improve the quality of life for their outside dogs. Our specific mission is to help owners find alternatives to continuous chaining as a method of dog containment. We offer guidance and temporary assistance to owners who are willing to work alongside us to improve their dogs' quality of life.

Located in Noblesville, HSHC strives to avoid the killing of animals for space. They act as the animal control shelter for Hamilton County and may not accept owner surrenders at times when they are at or near capacity.

Humane Society of Indianapolis offers adoption, humane education, microchipping, pet food bank, obedience training, euthanasia and behavior assistance. HSI does not accept stray animals and accepts owner surrendered animals on a very limited basis. HSI is not a no-kill shelter.

Indiana-PAW is an all-volunteer agency who's mission is to use education and advocacy to reduce the number of companion animals who are euthanized in Indiana, and to cultivate in our community a sense of respect for the needs of those animals with whom we share our world.

Indianapolis Animal Care & Control (IACC) works in partnership with the community to promote and protect the health, safety and welfare of the people and pets in Indianapolis.

IACC strives for a community free of the public health and safety issues caused by irresponsible pet ownership, where no animals suffer due to human abuse, neglect or ignorance and where every pet born will be assured a good home and care for all its natural life.

IndyFeral Inc. was established as a means of changing the way stray and feral (wild) cats have been traditionally viewed and dealt with in our community. We live in a culture where, for some, the value of an animal's life has no strong meaning of its own - only a contingent one based on his or her use to people. Some people consider stray/feral cats as pests, dangerous or a nuisance and as a result, think it is acceptable to harm them, ignore them by "letting nature take its course" or kill them.
