IndyCLAW Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our name is IndyCLAW. CLAW stands for Creating Life-long Animal Welfare. To fulfill that goal, we have a face to face adoption process. There is an adoption questionnaire that starts the process. One of our volunteers will meet with you. If approved, there is an adoption contract for the specific pet you are adopting. There is also a re-homing fee that is dependent on the type pet you are adopting. When applicable, the pets will be spayed / neutered and current on shots. While many dogs and cats do come across our door, our focus is on domestic rabbits and exotic birds. We will not adopt rabbits to cages or outdoor hutches. We are seeking homes for our rabbits; a room or group of rooms where they will be able to run and get sufficient exercise to live life as it was meant to be. The dogs and cats that we adopt out must also be indoor pets and part of the family. All rabbits, cats, and dogs will be spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Cats and Dogs will be current on shots and microchipped. Exotic birds and other exotic pets will be on a case by case basis. Farm animals, generally chickens and domestic ducks, are the obvious exception to the outdoor policy. We will examine the area to insure that they will be safe from predators and have proper shelter as part of the adoption process.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
