Adopt
Adopt
Adopting is the most profound way to get involved. By choosing to adopt, you give a homeless pet a second chance and help reduce pet overpopulation.
Adoptable Pets
To see pets currently available for adoption, please visit the Hendricks County Animal Shelter (HCAS) Facebook page or Petfinder. You can also visit the shelter during their open hours at:
250 E Campus Blvd, Danville, IN 46122
(317) 745-9250
Support Rescues
We also encourage you to look at our Local Rescues, as they often care for pets in foster homes until they find a family.
Responsible Pet Ownership
Responsible Pet Ownership
Responsible pet ownership keeps our entire community safer and healthier. You can help reduce shelter overcrowding and give every animal the chance they deserve by taking these simple, crucial steps:
Spay & Neuter Your Pets: Spaying and neutering prevents unwanted litters and reduces overcrowding in shelters. It also helps your pet live a longer, healthier life. Check out Hendricks County Human Society (HCHS) for low cost spay/neuter options!
Microchip & ID Your Pets: A collar and tag are great, but microchipping gives lost pets the best chance to be reunited with their families.
Keep Vaccinations Up to Date: Vaccines protect your pets—and the pets they meet—against deadly diseases like parvo and rabies.
Don't Dump Your Pets: Abandoning animals is illegal and dangerous. If you're struggling, local groups can help with food, supplies, or rehoming options.
