Lindsey, one of the volunteers who also lives in our neighborhood, put us on to Tipper. She is an absolute gem. She has the best house manners and looks super healthy. You can tell she has been very well cared for. I would definitely foster their dogs again.

Honestly I understand what they are doing, and the idea is great. But they are not the ones who…read moreshould be doing it. First, the location is behind a house, so it feels a little sketchy. Second, once inside the actual building for the animas, it's pretty gross. It truly feels like a few people got together and had an idea and decided to go for it in an old building and some fencing. Also, the lady who "talked" to us was quite rude. Maybe she was having a bad day, but still. All in all, I would much rather see these animals go to an actual shelter, be advertised more, and truly given a fighting chance to get into a good home. I can't see it being here.

Hamilton County is so lucky to have this world-class animal shelter in Fishers. HSHC recently moved…read morefrom its Noblesville location to this brand-new (and expanded) facility in Fishers, and it's unbelievable. I started volunteering here a few months ago, and I've been impressed with HSHC from all angles - the volunteer orientation, the facility, the staff. While it's not ideal for animals to be at a shelter, this place is a top-notch place to stay until the cats and dogs find their "fur"ever homes. Please note if you are looking to adopt that the building doesn't open to the public until noon each day. You can browse the dog rooms and catteries, but you cannot pet or touch an animal until you've completed an application and been approved. Read all the policies online to be prepared! You can even submit an adoption application online.

This was a wonderful and seamless experience. The team has the best interest of the animals in mind…read moreand really make sure they are comfortable and confident with the potential adopters and that it will end in success! The adoption rates are very affordable as well! We had a thorough meeting with our new dog and the handler, met with the adoption team, the behavior team and the medical team and all were very helpful explaining each step and took the time to address any questions we had to walk-through the complete process and history of the animal, as they know it. And the facility is just beautiful! On the dog side, they make it really easy to interact with dogs being considered for adoption and it was just a wonderful experience to find our perfect match and help a dog in need!

Very thankful for their services!

The process is simple: you arrive and check out the dogs/cats that are available from…read morerescues/shelters around the state; find one and play with them; fill out the paperwork and pay $30; and you're on your way with a new pup. I can see how this can be an issue for those that are cautious about ensuring that the animals are going to a good home, but on the flip side, it's a great event that helps to find permanent houses for most of the animals (just an assumption). This year, I went on both days. The first day I arrived 2ish hours after they had opened and nearly all of the pups were gone that were what I was looking for. I wanted to go back the next day to check it out, thinking that more pups would have been brought in - not the case at all. Cats were still in abundance both days. I got there right on time and they had nearly no new dogs from the last time. Sadly, there were all nearly Pits too. Even worse, my apartment complex doesn't allow Pits. I love the idea but hope that next year, even more dogs are brought in on the 2nd day so they can find their forever homes. The volunteers are great too. They usually didn't know most of the answers to the questions you had because they were simply volunteers, so that might be something to improve on next year. Instead of having the volunteers taking you and your possibly furry friend to the "meet and greet" stations, have one of the staff members from the shelters/rescues there so that you can get your questions answered while you're getting to know them. That was one major flaw I had. Every question I had wasn't able to be answered. Big props to the volunteers though!

THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EVENT…read more I cannot stress enough that if you are looking for a cat or dog, GO TO INDY MEGA. I would highly suggest going earlier in the event too because animals get adopted quickly!!! All the adoptable animals are up-to-date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. They cost $30 for adoption and they are ready to go to their furrever homes!! A lot of the shelters too offer vets that give free wellness checks or 30 days of free pet care insurance. (FYI: most vets will give you a free first visit if you adopted from a shelter). DOGS: One thing that I do want to caution about: A lot of the dogs are pitbulls or pit bull mixes. I have NOTHING against Pits; I love them. What I want to specifically bright to light is that a lot of these dogs had to go to an only pet home and were not good with kids. As a cat lady, this doesn't really work with my family. There a lot of other dogs who are not like this but I just want people to know this because there are a lot of dogs who need some love in a single pet/no kid home. I KNOW there are people out there who can do this for these animals. I heard that all the dogs got adopted except one the last time this event was held. AMAZING!!!! CATS: WOW. So many cats at Indy Mega. I think hundreds and maybe thousands of cats. I came at the end of the event and was leaving when I found the MOST perfect kitten who I just knew belonged to me and needed to come home! There was only 20 minutes left in the event but I was not rushed into the decision at all. The volunteers helped me visit with the cat, listened, and helped me through the decision making process without pushing me into adopting. If the volunteers didn't know the answer to my questions, they directed me to someone who could. The adoption process of my new cat was so easy. Took about 10 minutes. The greatest part is all the stuff they sent me home with. I got coupon books for both Petco and PetSmart. I got TONS of toys and treats. They gave me some wet food and a wet food can cover. I even got a bucket for free 10 pound box of litter (so helpful) and the bucket can be reused so I can go back for more discounted litter at Petco (I think). They really set you up for success. They want these pets to go to great homes. I couldn't be more thankful for such an amazing event. Great job Indy!!! and PLEASE check this event out even if you are just considering getting a pet.

Halfway through the 2nd kennel we found a pretty girl just waking up from her nap The place was total chaos with barking dogs. She just sat up and wagged her tail. We had her brought outside and we hung with her for about an hour No pressure from the staff at all. We finally decided that we had stumbled on probably the perfect pup. She's home with us now and I do believe she is very happy. She was surrendered by a homeless person who could not care for her anymore. So we will shower her with love and kisses for as long as she is with us.

Many other people were sticking hands in, getting near, but we were the only ones getting yelled at. I told her she could've said it nicer and she states "Well it's loud in here, so it's the nicest i can say it". This is not the first time service here has been terrible, people here are quite rude and ruin other's days. She also stated she would kick us out, she went over the top. If employee have bad days they should know how to deal with those feelings, not take it out on customers

They rescue dogs (and sometimes cats!) regardless of breed, age, size, or health condition, with the end goal of placing them into loving forever homes. Far Fetched Rescue is a small organization MAKING A BIG IMPACT. Their primary operations are managed by four board members, several fosters and many incredible volunteers. They have helped over 100 Hospice and FOREVER FOSTER DOGS! I was really impressed by how dedicated their handler was. It was obvious the dogs trust her and followed her around when they weren't in her lap giving kisses! "Trinket," a 5 month old three-legged Greyhound stole the show and our hearts, even finding her own yoga mat to chill on. She seemed really well adjusted for having such a serious disability. All of the puppies were friendly and playful. They seem well loved and cared for. Please consider adopting or fostering a rescue dog. If you want a puppy or a purebred they have them too! Spay and neuter your pets please. Shelters are overcrowded and all dogs deserve a good home. Thank you Far Fetched Rescue for making this possible for so many adorable animals.
