INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) and Indy Parks and Recreation recently announced a new partnership that will bring a satellite adoption center to Broad Ripple Park.
The Indianapolis Animal Care Services Satellite Adoption Pavilion at Broad Ripple Park will have the ability to house both dogs and cats. The plan is to have it open during high-traffic periods at the park, and also during ACS’ busier times when the shelter tends to fill up quickly.
Designed by One 10 Studio, the building will also offer a shaded area for dog park users and will not decrease the size of the current dog park. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2018. Funding will come from a mix of both public and private sources, including the Friends of Indianapolis Animal Care Services Foundation.
If interested in helping the shelter but unable to adopt, consider volunteering your time, fostering a cat or dog, or donating litter, canned pet food, cleaning supplies or any other item from the wish list. Monetary donations can be made online to the Friends Foundation or in person at the shelter, 2600 S. Harding St. Adoption hours are Sun., Mon., Tues., Fri., Sat. from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Thurs. 10 a.m.-7 p.m. (closed Wed.).
