Free Adoptions At IACS As Shelter Reaches Capacity

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Adoptions at Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) are free through Sunday, Sept. 16 due to the shelter being at capacity. Not only can you adopt a forever friend for free, but IACS will also include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations and heartworm testing. IACS is open everyday except Wednesdays, and hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with an extra hour - until 7 p.m. - on Thursdays.

Can't adopt? Consider fostering a pet, donating or send a gift of supplies to IACS. A donation of $25 provides a day of care for three IACS animals, and $50 provides an entire week of food, vaccines and veterinary care for an animal.

To make it easier for you to find or donate needed supplies, here is IACS' Amazon wish list for the shelter animals.

If you'd like to be a foster, fill out a foster application or email Ashley.Temple@indy.gov.
