Armadillo arrived looking a little rough around the edges, but wow, has this guy made a comeback. With some TLC, good food, and a few bubble baths (which he handled like a champ!), he's now absolutely stunning.

He's a smart and clever boy who knows what he likes: soft beds, tasty treats, and fun toys! After going without for a while, it's no surprise he wants to hang on to the good stuff. We've been teaching him how to "trade" for treats, and he's catching on fast! He'll thrive with calm guidance, gentle encouragement, and a little patience. A home with adults or older teens who know when to give a guy some space (and when to hand over the snacks) would make him feel right at home.

Come meet Armadillo and see how much love and personality he has to offer!

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.
