The Humane Society of Hobart
#98 in United States, #3 in Indiana
The Humane Society of Hobart (HSH) is a nonprofit animal shelter on a mission to build and strengthen pet families and has been saving the lives of homeless pets since 1954. We are small , but mighty! In 2023 alone, HSH sheltered more than 2,500 homeless pets, provided services to more than 1,000 pet families in need of resources and supplies, and returned 253 lost pets to their owners. We work alongside law enforcement when there is an emergency or criminal situation and animals are present. After law enforcement has secured the scene, we proceed to rescue the animals. Sometimes we work with the Indiana State Veterinarian to methodically document all that is needed to care for the animals or prosecute if neglect and cruelty is suspected. The staff and volunteers are true warriors that lead with courage and compassion, daily meeting the challenge of many animals coming to our door in need of emergency medical care and shelter.

We are a registered 501c3 all-breed rescue. We got our start rescuing parvo positive puppies/dogs from local shelters. In our first year we successfully treated nearly 50 puppies/dogs with parvoviral enteritis and adopted them into new homes. We have increased our reach and now accept a wide variety of medical issues. Our dogs and cats come from both in-state and out-of-state shelters and we accept breeder surrenders. We are proud to have matched over 1700 families with their new pets in the last year!

Welcome! The Dubois County Humane Society is a no-kill shelter, located in Jasper, Indiana. We are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization founded in 1974 to care for homeless animals in our community. The Dubois County Humane Society receives no tax dollars or public funding - we rely solely on the support of the local community through contributions and our fund-raising events.

IndyHumane
#100 in United States, #5 in Indiana, #4 in Indianapolis
Indianapolis
Committed to helping central Indiana's pets in need since 1905. Find your new best friend today.

Leann's Animal Rescue
#100 in United States, #5 in Indiana, #4 in Indianapolis
Indianapolis
All of our rescues are rehabilitated for behavioral issues as well as all medical needs taken care of so that they may have the greatest opportunity for success with their new family. If at any time the family decides that the new addition is not working in their family they are able to bring them back to the rescue, we understand life happens & the animal always has a safe place to be returned. I do however strive for life long homes. I keep in contact with all previous adopters to offer support if needed or just to share in the joy that adoption brings to the animals as well as the new families. I’m trusted in the area & have the animals well being and best interests at heart.

Rushville Animal Shelter
#100 in United States, #5 in Indiana, #4 in Indianapolis
Indianapolis
We are a small, rural, city-funded shelter located in Rush County, Indiana. We approach each potential adoption with an open mind and focus on informing and educating adopters. We may say no if we feel the shelter animal, another animal, or human being is at unreasonable risk of serious injury or death. Our goal is to provide animals with a quality life with freedom from hunger, thirst, discomfort, pain, injury, disease, or stress.

Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside
#100 in United States, #5 in Indiana, #4 in Indianapolis
Indianapolis
FIDO is a non-profit, animal advocacy organization formed in 2005 that works with dog owners to improve the quality of life for their outside dogs with a focus on dogs living isolated on the end of a chain. FIDO partners with Indianapolis residents to find alternatives to continuous chaining as a method of dog containment while promoting the Indianapolis Dog Care & Treatment ordinances. One of our goals is to make it easier and more convenient for owners to bring their dogs inside the home to be part of the family. Our areas of focus are the marginalized, under-served neighborhoods of Indianapolis. The citizens we meet often just need information and access to available resources to provide a more humane level of care. Many of the dogs we help have never been to a veterinarian and spend most of their lives outside. Outreach and sharing humane education is a large part of the work we do at FIDO. We offer supplies and services to residents who are interested in working with us to improve their dogs' quality of life. FIDO partners with other organizations to provide spay/neuter assistance, which we require, for the dogs we serve. Our services are provided for free or at a nominal fee.

PawSwap of Greater Lafayette, IN
#100 in United States, #5 in Indiana
PawSwaP is not your typical animal rescue organization. Like most other animal welfare groups, we aim to help community animals by providing them with proper vet care before finding them loving, forever homes. Our approach, however, is unique. We look to keep the animals in their current homes whenever possible. If that is not possible, we attempt to utilize foster homes until forever homes can be found. We help owners rehome their animals safely and responsibly without them ever entering a shelter facility.

Indy Great Pyrenees Rescue
#100 in United States, #5 in Indiana
We take purebred Great Pyrenees dogs from Indiana, into our rescue program as space allows. We also accept owner surrenders when possible. We are not a shelter. All of our dogs live in foster homes. These generous families help raise, socialize and treat any medical conditions the Pyr may have had prior to rescue. This gives you, the adopter, an advantage. By having Pyrs in foster homes we are able to learn a lot about the dogs prior to adoption. This makes it easier to match potential adopters to the right Pyr for their family. Foster homes are urgently needed. Please visit our adopt/foster page or contact us if you are interested in giving a homeless Pyr a temporary home. Foster Homes are desperately needed!!!

How to Deal With Food Aggression in Dogs (Facts + Infographic)
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
Comprehensive Guide to Scent Training for Dogs (Facts + Infographic)
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
How Much Does it Cost to Train a Service Dog?
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
What is and How to Handle Potty Training Regression
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Coprophagia: Why Does Your Dog Eat Poop?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!

The Best Dog Water Parks in the United States

Dog Exercise Calculator: How Much Exercise Does Your Dog Need?
You’ve been told your dog needs regular exercise. There’s a reason “walking the dog” is a classic daily activity: Frequent excursions give your pup a chance to experience the world, maintain a healthy weight, and — most importantly — spend time with you! Consistent physical activity can also improve their strength, muscle tone, coordination, and mental ability over time.

Dog reactivity guides

Rottweiler Aggression: Signs, Causes, and How to Handle It
Many dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being "dangerous breeds." Rottweilers are among them. Like pit bulls and other large, blocky-headed types of dogs, these powerful and beautiful animals are often assumed to be aggressive.
Dog Reactivity Chart: Understand and Fix Dog Reactivity
Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (like a car or bike) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling feels embarrassing for you — and it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
How to Socialize Your Reactive Dog
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
