Description Champ
Champ loves like he means it. When he chooses his person, he is all in. He wants to ride with you, train with you, relax near you, and be part of your everyday world.

This smarty pants already knows sit, down, shake, place, spin, and wait. He loves to learn and really lights up during training. He settles nicely in the car and is always up for an adventure, especially if it means being by your side.

Champ forms strong bonds with his people, and we've learned he does best with someone calm and confident who can help him feel like everything is handled. In his last home, he became very attached and started to take on too much when other dogs or people came near. With clear boundaries and a steady routine, Champ can relax and show just how sweet and devoted he really is.

Champ may be happiest as your only dog, soaking up all your attention. If you have another dog, it will need to be the right fit with slow introductions, and we're happy to help with that process. He is not looking for a busy, unpredictable home. He is looking for something deeper. A life where he can be your loyal sidekick and feel safe enough to just be a dog.

If you have experience, patience, and room in your life for a deeply devoted companion, Champ would love to meet you.

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.
