IndyHumane is a mid-sized nonprofit animal welfare organization based in Indianapolis, Indiana, operating a limited intake shelter for cats and dogs. It delivers direct services such as adoption, foster home placement, positive reinforcement training for adoptable animals, medical care, and affordable spay/neuter and low-cost vaccination services. The organization avoids euthanizing animals for length of stay, kennel space, or cost of care, and centers its care model on the Five Freedoms to guide welfare decisions. Founded to serve the Indianapolis community, IndyHumane has operated there since 1905 and relies on volunteers and community partnerships. 

Its work serves prospective pet owners, foster families, and others in central Indiana seeking affordable veterinary services or help with pet adoption. By combining behavior training, medical services, and low-cost preventative care, IndyHumane helps homeless animals find loving homes and reduces euthanasia due to financial or housing constraints. The nonprofit sits within the animal welfare sector and collaborates with local organizations to extend its reach. A recent development is IndyHumane’s involvement in Pawpalooza in May 2026, a community event that offered free pet adoptions in partnership with Hensley Legal Group.
