📦🐶 WE ARE MOVING! 🐱📦
On Monday, May 4, Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) will close our current South Harding Street shelter as we transition into our brand new, state-of-the-art facility located at 5001 E. Raymond St. on the near southeast side!
This new shelter is more than twice the size of our current 24,000 sq. ft. space and represents a huge step forward in our mission to improve animal welfare across Indianapolis.
⏳ Temporary Closure: May 4 – May 10
During this time:
• Intakes will be limited to Animal Control Officers only
• No adoptions will take place
If you find an animal in need during the closure, please:
📧 Email: [email protected]
📲 Submit a Request Indy service request
📞 Call the Mayor’s Action Center: 317-327-4622
🚓 Or non-emergency dispatch: 317-327-3811
🐾 WE NEED YOUR HELP BEFORE THE MOVE!
As of today (April 20), we are caring for 41 cats and 205 dogs (98% dog capacity!) — and we need to empty the shelter before moving day!

Fostering saves lives by freeing up space and giving animals a break from the shelter environment. Learn more: indy.gov/activity/apply-to-foster-an-animal
This new shelter has been years in the making—designed with expanded medical space, modern facilities, and better resources for both animals and people. Located in the 46203 ZIP code, it will help us better serve one of the areas with the highest need in our city.
💙 This move is more than a building—it’s a brighter future for Indy’s animals.
Come adopt, foster, and help us start this next chapter STRONG!
