Found a Stray

If you come across a stray dog, post information about it on the Indy Lost Pet Alert Page. Additionally, take the dog to a local vet office to have it scanned for a microchip. This effort increases the chances of reuniting the dog with its owner. If you are unable to find the owner, you can make a report with animal control here.

The SOAR Initiative, based in Indianapolis, is dedicated to aiding individuals experiencing homelessness with their pets. For information on available options and support, please visit the SOAR Page.

Dogs Living Outside

If you are aware of a dog living outside, either chained or penned, please reach out to FIDO for assistance in helping the dog.

Behavioral Issues

If you are facing behavioral issues with your dog, consult a trainer before contemplating surrender. We collaborate with several qualified training businesses, including K9 Concierge, I Speak Woof, and Positive Only Pups.
