Description Chief
Chief's Compatibility:
Dogs – Meet & Greet (but yes!)
Cats – No thanks!
Kids – Looking for an adult only Home.

Chief is a sweet and resilient dog who's had his world turned upside down after his owner tragically lost their home. It's heartbreaking to think about what Chief must have gone through, having to say goodbye to the only home and family he knew. But despite the pain, Chief remains an absolute sweetheart who deserves nothing less than a fresh start in a loving, stable home.

Chief is a social guy who has lived with other dogs, and while he's not a fan of cats, he's open to being part of a family who understands him.

Chief has been through a lot, but his sweet nature shines through. He's looking for a home that will offer him the love and stability he's been missing. Come meet him today and give him the chance to heal and be the loyal companion he's meant to be. Chief is ready to start a new chapter in his life, and he's hoping you'll be there to write it with him!

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.
