About Gromit
Dogs – Meet and greet
Cats – TBD
Kids: 14 and up
Gromit came to us as a stray, and it was immediately clear that he hadn't had much guidance in life. He's young and full of energy, and sometimes that comes out in ways that need a little fine-tuning. When he's overstimulated, he may jump up or use his mouth to play. He's working hard on learning better manners and has already made great progress with cues like "sit" and "leave it." He's very eager to learn! Gromit has also shown some guarding behavior around food and toys, so he'll need a home that's ready to manage that with the help of positive reinforcement and patience.
Because of these things, Gromit needs a calm, structured home without small kiddos. Teens 14 and up who can follow his training plan will be just fine. What he needs most is someone who sees past the rough edges and recognizes the dog underneath who didn't get the best start, but still has so much love to give. If you can offer him safety, routine, and a little time, Gromit will give you his whole heart!
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.
