Story
Meet Jubilee—a tender-hearted soul with a sweet spirit and a tail that never stops wagging. When she first arrived, she wasn’t quite sure what to make of the leash, but she still greeted everyone with gentle kisses, soft eyes, and a quiet openness that says, *“I’m trying my best.”* That’s Jubilee—earnest, affectionate, and full of potential, just waiting for the right person to help her feel safe and seen. She may have been unsure of her surroundings, but not once did she stop offering love. She leans into gentle pets, rests her head in your hands, and tries so hard to understand what’s being asked of her. Jubilee is one of those dogs who will quietly change your life—by showing you how powerful patience, kindness, and trust can be. What an opportunity, not just to adopt a dog, but to grow with one.

Story
Chief is a sensitive soul who’s still figuring out how to trust the world again. Underneath his sad eyes and tucked tail is a dog who truly *wants* connection—he’s just not sure how to ask for it. When he first arrived at the shelter, Chief was overwhelmed and unsure, freezing up during his medical exam and flinching at the unfamiliar. But with patience, soft voices, and gentle hands, he’s already shown that he’s willing to lean in—literally—for affection. In the office, he walked up calmly, accepted pets, and when they stopped, he came in closer, quietly asking for more. Chief is looking for a home that understands fear doesn`t make a dog bad—it just means he needs a little extra love. He may do best in a quiet environment where he can feel safe and decompress. Once he knows you`re his person, Chief is the kind of dog who will be endlessly loyal. He`s not looking for a fast-paced lifestyle—just someone who sees his worth and is willing to meet him where he is. With time, Chief won’t just come out of his shell—he’ll show you a heart as big as they come. Adoptions are free and include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.

MYSTIQUE

Rhodesian Ridgeback

Female, 1 yr
Indianapolis, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Mystique is a gentle soul with the kind of heart you can’t help but root for. She came to us unsure of her new surroundings, wagging her tail low, offering sweet licks, and tilting her head with the kind of shy, submissive smile that says, “I want to trust you—I just need a moment.” While leashing can still be a little spooky for her, once outside, Mystique blossoms. She lights up in the sunshine, leans in for affection, and shows you just how lovely and kind she really is. Mystique would do well in a calm, patient home where she can settle in at her own pace and continue discovering how good life can be. She’s not flashy, but she is unforgettable—the kind of quiet, loyal friend who’ll stay by your side once she knows she’s safe. Adoptions are free and include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.

LADY

Rhodesian Ridgeback

Female, 2 yrs
Indianapolis, IN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lady is a resilient sweetheart with a playful streak and a heart that’s ready to heal. When she first arrived, she wasn’t sure what to make of us—but after a quick pause to assess the situation, she was running over for treats, asking for pets, and trying to play with toys like we’d been friends all along. She walks well on a leash (though she pulls like she’s late for a party) and would benefit from a comfy harness while a neck injury continues to heal. At the shelter, Lady has been friendly, food-motivated, and eager for affection. She’s shown some tension around other dogs and may do best with slow introductions or as your one-and-only. She’s got plenty of love to give and would thrive with someone who can offer patience, playtime, and a cozy place to land. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a little spark, Lady might just be your girl. Adoptions are free and include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Name: Reggie Breed: Ridgeback/Beagle Sex: Male Age: DOB: 10-14-2024 Spayed/Neutered: Will be neutered prior to adoption Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date - all vaccinations required after adoption are the responsibility of the adopter. Heartworm: Too young (testing is done at 6 months of age) Housetrained: Yes! Microchipped: Not yet Adoption Fee/Donation: $350 Important!! Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until he’s older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so important in this puppy’s life. Do you have the time? Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter, heart worm test if applicable) microchip, worming and flea/tick/heart worm (if applicable) preventatives. Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
