Description Lava
Lava's Compatibility:
Dogs: Meet & Greet
Cats: Yes
Kids: Yes

Lava is a bright, people-loving girl ready for a fresh start with someone who likes to spoil their pets with attention. She is housebroken, crate trained, and walks right into her crate without fuss.

She rides great in the car and loves to be part of the action. If you are going somewhere, Lava would like to come along! She loves to run and play tug. She even enjoys a bath.

With people, she is affectionate and sweet. She is gentle with kids and has spent time with children as young as three. She enjoys their attention. She will alert bark when someone comes to the door, then settles once guests are inside.

Lava is looking for commitment and consistency. In return, you get loyalty, energy, and a whole lot of love. Come meet her!

Important Notice: A “meet and greet” with any existing dogs in your home is required, supervised by our team in our play areas. We encourage bringing your family and current dogs, especially if traveling from afar. Cats are not required for a meet and greet.

Adoption Hours: Daily 12-5PM, closed Wednesdays. No appointment needed, unless the dog or cat is in foster! Apply and then call us at 317-773-4974 to set up a meet and greet with an pet in foster care.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?

You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
