We are an all-volunteer, all-breed rescue in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. We primarily pull dogs and cats from the Indianapolis Animal Care and Control shelter, which is a high-kill shelter.
We pull many healthy animals from the shelter, but we specialize in pulling dogs and cats who have emergent medical needs. We often take animals who have been hit by cars, or have serious injuries or illness. It's not unusual for us to spend $3,000-$4,000 treating an animal and getting them fully recovered from their injuries. We never pass this cost along to the adopters and keep our adoption fees low because most of these costs are covered through donations.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

We adopt animals to adopters in the Central Indiana area, primarily within a 50 mile radius of Indianapolis
Additional adoption info
Adoption process:
All potential adopters should complete our adoption application from our website http://www.edcr.org. Once we have received and approved your application, our Adoption Coordinator will contact you to arrange a home visit in which the coordinator will bring the dog or cat to your home. This is done to ensure that the home is suitable for adoption, as well as to introduce the animal to the humans and other pets to ensure they will get along. If everything goes well, the coordinator will have the adopter complete our adoption contract.
Adoption fees are as follows:
Cats - $50
Adult dogs - $175
Puppies (younger than 1 year) - $200
All dogs and cats are up to date on vetting, with age appropriate vaccines, and are spayed/neutered.
