Here to Help

Did you know there are many alternatives to surrendering your pet to a Humane Society even though it may feel like it is your only option? Let an Admissions Counselor at HSI share with you all of the resources available to help you maintain the special bond you have with your pet companion.

Call us at 317-872-5650 ext. 126 to discuss the best future plan for your pet.

Did you know?

We have an entire library of information to help you with the common training issues you might encounter including litterbox problems, chewing, jumping and digging. Visit our full library of downloadable material.

We have experienced animal professionals that can assist you through unique animal behavior modification? If you are experiencing behavioral problems with your pet and would like to discuss how to modify and correct those problems, please visit our Ask a Trainer page.

Know that we do understand situations arise that prevent you from being able to continue to care for your pet. Making the decision to surrender your pet can be a very difficult one, and we are here to help.

An appointment is required to surrender your pet to HSI.

Prior to your appointment, there are things you can do to help speed up the intake process:

• Bring your pet's vaccination and other vet records
• Bring any medications your pet is currently taking
• Have your pet's coat clean and brushed

You are encouraged to bring some of your pet's favorite items along with you to help the pet transition more easily into the new environment. Donations of kennels, carriers, and other pet supplies are also greatly appreciated and are tax deductible
