Daxton's Compatibility:
Dogs – Meet and greet
Cats – Passed a cat test
Kids – Yes

Daxton has lived a lot in his eight years, and not always under the best circumstances. He came to us from a home where he wasn't fully appreciated, but this big, sweet guy has so much love to give. Our volunteers rave about what a good boy he is!

He's the kind of dog who likes to learn about the world at his own pace. A new face might get an excited jump or a curious bark, but give him a moment, and he's all tail wags and gentle snuggles. Daxton enjoys lounging on his favorite sofa spot, hanging out close to his people, and chasing squirrels and rabbits in the yard. He's housebroken, crate-trained, and has lived happily with other dogs.

Daxton is looking for a calm, patient home with kind, loving people who will make him feel safe and confident. He may have had a rocky start, but he's ready to show the world just how loving, loyal, and fun he can be.

Come meet Daxton and see for yourself why he's worth every second of attention.

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.
