UPDATE: FRANKLIN HAS BEEN FOSTERED!!

🤍Your best friend, Franklin🤍

Meet Franklin! He was picked up as a stray off of S Columbus Road and 250 W im Shelbyville, IN. No one ever came forward for this big guy, so he is now available for adoption!

Now you may be wondering, "What kind of dog is Franklin?" GREAT QUESTION! We have no idea. So we have decided he is "whatever you want him to be".

Have you ever wanted a specific dog breed but could never find exactly what you're looking for?? Franklin is your guy!!

You want a doodle? Franklin is every kind of doodle mixed together. You're more of an Irish Wolfhound person? No problem, this guy is totally a purebred and he's free! You want him to be a German Shepherd? That's kind of a stretch but absolutely, he's definitely a Shepherd.

Whatever breed you're looking for, we have it. Come meet Franklin or any of our other dogs Monday-Thursday 10:30-4:30 or Fridays until 4:00. You can also call us @317-392-5127 OR email us anytime @cityofshelbyvillein.com @cityofshelbyvillein.com

💔 She’s Been Waiting For 196 Days… 💔

Her name is Poppet. She’s sweet, loyal, silly… and she’s spent 6 months watching families walk past her kennel.

Day after day, she wags her tail with hope. Day after day, she watches other dogs leave, and she stays behind.

Poppet is 5 years old. She loves belly rubs, squeaky toys, and curling up beside you like she’s known you forever. She’s happiest just being near her person. She knows sit, shake, spin, and speak! She is extremely smart and eager to please. She has been posted so many times and was even on TV! Still, for reasons we cannot figure out, it hasn't been enough to find her forever home.

She doesn’t want to share her family with other pets — she just wants to be someone’s one and only.

We try to give her all the love we can here, but it’s not the same as home. At night, when the lights go out, she curls up in her kennel, alone. She deserves better than this.

If you have room in your heart and home for Poppet, please come meet her. If you can’t adopt, please share her story — the right person could see it because of you.

💛🍯 Pearl Girl🍯💛

Pearl is a 1-year-old, medium-sized white Pit mix with the most striking gold eyes you’ve ever seen. She first appeared on E SR 44, where a good Samaritan picked her up… but somehow, the next day, she was spotted again on W SR 44. Another kind soul contained her so we could pick her up.

We’ll never know her full story or what she’s been through, but when she first arrived, she was terrified—shaking, hunkered down, and unsure if she could trust anyone.

That was just 3 short weeks ago.
Since then, we’ve watched her blossom. Pearl has been spayed, updated on her rabies vaccine, and has learned that people can be kind. She’s shy and quiet at first, but once she feels safe, she shows her gentle, loving side. She loves being close to people and will quietly melt into you for affection.

We don’t know yet how she does with other animals, but she seems very submissive.

Pearl now sits and waits patiently for her person—a kind, understanding soul who will give her the time and love she needs to fully shine. Her adoption fee is waived, because all we want is to see her in the loving home she deserves.

📞 Contact us at 317-392-5137 to meet Pearl and see if she’s the missing piece to your heart.
You can also email us anytime

✨ From frightened and alone to safe and hopeful—Pearl is ready for her happily ever after.

We have lived here in Fountaintown off N division Rd and W1000N for 5 years, and he has never left the yard prior. I have searched and searched. I have a feeding station out with a camera. I’ve made over 250 posters and still no news of my boy."

‼️STRAY ALERT‼️

This neutered male wearing a brown leather collar was picked up in the 300 block of E South Street in Morristown. His collar did not have any tags. He is microchipped, but so far, we have exhausted all efforts and have not located the owner. We believe his name is Waffle, according to the chip info. The owner on the chip shows "Daniel Kelly."
