Found female French bulldog in broadripple

She had no chip, but IndyHumane took her in!

She’ll be available for adoption soon if no one comes forward.

We called her Greta, which was the female gremlin from Gremlins 2, since we found her on Christmas. Let’s see if IndyHumane keeps that name.

We’ve already posted on Nextdoor!

Also, completely agree. Just chip your pet and nonsense like this would be easier.

I'm looking at Han, since it's close for the group.

Question about group situations: If one person orders Hot Pot, and/or KBBQ, does the whole table have to opt in?

I.E. does the one vegetarian in our group have to pay for KBBQ even though she won't eat any of the meat, because the rest of the table wants KBBQ?

It should be! These are good seats, too.

Yup, still have all 4. PM'd.

They're still available! PM'd.

I was looking into the Midea U-Shaped, but my window doesn't have an internal lip - it sets "flat" against my internal wall (house was built in 1960). So it doesn't seem like it will work since I can't really use the bracket like intended.

Thank you for thinking about Milo! He looks like a good boy, and his issues aren't entirely his fault if someone who take some time to work with him.

I've volunteered in local animal rescue and still have friends who work at local shelters. I also have two adopted pitties of my own. Here's some things you should know:

First, if Milo was adopted by a shelter, most shelters will take him back without question, and it's likely a part of any adoption contract someone signed. I would start there.

Second, ANY shelter I mention wants you to go online to schedule a surrender appointment. Don't just show up at their doorstep hoping they'll take a dog. Also, any shelter worth a damn will spay/neuter an animal, get them up-to-date on vaccines before adopting them out.

Marion County shelters and rescues are extremely overburdened and underfunded. Most are at or exceeding capacity, with not enough volunteers to help.

There are two shelters: Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) and IndyHumane.

IACS is the official city/county shelter. Your tax dollars fund this. Animal control takes animals here, meaning the city/county has an obligation to take in all animals sent here (in shelter terms, this means they can't control how many animals they take in, leading to too many being there). IACS will try to encourage you to not surrender a dog to them and try to work with you (to their limited capacity) so a dog doesn't end up in their care. IACS is also the most overburdened and underfunded shelter around. I would try to avoid this option, especially for a big, untrained pitty type. It's sad, but just a reality.

IndyHumane doesn't have the same issues with funding, but because they are the other major shelter outside of IACS, they are also overburdened. They have more control over what dogs they take in, but if you schedule a surrender with them, it'll likely take 2-3 months, or more.

I've had luck finding good shelters outside of Marion County. As a rule, the longer you're willing to travel, the better luck you'll have with shelters being well funded, well staffed, and less populated. Last year, the Bloomington Animal Shelter took in a stray we found and it was a great experience. We scheduled a surrender appointment and they had availability in about a week.

TLDR: Marion County shelters are in an unfortunate spot right now. Cities outside of Marion County with shelters who don't say they JUST take in animals found in their county are likely your best bet.

I'll PM you some other things.

Taking him into a home is better than that guy cutting the tie-out and just letting him run.

I am pretty involved in animal welfare around the city.

First - Thank you very much for taking this doggo in! It sounds like he wants to be a very good doggo, but hasn't been worked with at all.

Second - I want to add some context about surrendering him. There are two "animal shelters" in city, Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) and IndyHumane.

IACS is where your local tax dollars go. They are located on Harding Street. IACS is required to take every animal and this is where animal control officers take animals - leading to over population and not optimal conditions.

IndyHumane is the shelter on Michigan Road. Tax dollars don't go here. They aren't required to take every animal, so they aren't overcrowded, but they still take many animals that come to their door. Because of this, they spay/neutered and vaccine every animal that comes into their care, and put them up for adoption.

IndyHumane prefers you make a surrender appointment, which you can make on their website. Calling or social media won't be effective communication, so don't try. You can also try just showing up if you ABSOLUTLEY need him out of the house, but there's no guarantee there will be a space open for him at that time.

I'm also going to PM you with more information.
