Meet Lionel! One look into those eyes and you'll understand exactly why we're so smitten with this boy. There's something about Lionel that just stops you in your tracks. An old soul in a young dog's body who is still learning that the world is a beautiful place.

Lionel came to us as a stray, and life before us wasn't always kind. But this sweet, sensitive soul has so much love to give to the right person. He just needs someone willing to slow down, be patient, and show him that he is safe.

He's smart as a whip, treat-motivated, and thrives with one-on-one attention. He goes absolutely wild for enrichment training and loves a peaceful walk with his favorite person. When Lionel trusts you, he trusts you with everything. That kind of bond? It's something really special.
We think he's been overlooked long enough. If you have room in your heart and your home for a sensitive soul who will love you like crazy once he knows you're his, come meet our Lionel. We have a feeling he's been waiting for 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.
