    Animal Shelters in Indiana

    Indiana has 327 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 78 counties. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. Indianapolis has more than any other Indiana city, followed by Fort Wayne and Anderson. There is no shortage of choice in Indiana — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.

    Indiana has 327 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

    A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

    Indianapolis has more than anywhere else in Indiana, followed by Fort Wayne, Anderson and Evansville. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.

    Marion, Lake and St. Joseph counties have the most, though listings reach 78 of Indiana's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.

    Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
