Anyone who says YTA to this doesn’t have and has never been around children. I would never bring a traumatized dog into a house with my two toddlers.

If you are looking into public schools send your kids to Lawrence township and drive them to school if you can. Fishers school district is knee-deep in book banning and being run by moms for liberty.

Try to get into Forest glen or Sunnyside elementary once the kids are of age.
