🐱 Owner Relinquish 🐱
Meet our newest owner relinquish - Bermuda🩷

Bermuda is a 3-year-old female DLH. She is fixed and will receive her boosters, dewormer, and flea meds upon fostering to adopt. The reason for relinquishing was that Bermuda did not get along with the other cats in the house and would attack them randomly. We also believe that she would be better with kids 12 and older. She ALSO is said to only use her litterbox 1/3 of the time. Now, none of this puts her in the best light. But while she has been here, we have learned she is calm, quiet, and quite shy. She has been faithful to her litterbox and doesn't mind us cleaning around her. She is a really sweet girl and just needs another chance. Her feet are stained and she will be getting a bath soon. if you'd like to give Bermuda her second chance, please call us @ 317-392-5127 or email us anytime @cityofshelbyvillein.com / @cityofshelbyvillein.com

STRAY ALERT

Officer Alexander picked up this female tiger calico in the 100 block of N Walnut Street in Shelbyville, IN. She is not microchipped or wearing a collar with tags. She is VERY stressed being here and seems to really hate other cats. She won't let us touch her or clean her kennel, but hopefully, she warms up to us. If you know anything, please let us know so she doesn't have to sit here for 5 days until her stray hold is up. Call us @ 317-392-5127 or email us ANYTIME @cityofshelbyvillein.com / @cityofshelbyvillein.com

💔STRAY ALERT💔

PLEASE reach out to us if you know anything. We always accept anonymous tips. That being said...

Officer Jordan picked up this intact male Shar Pei mix in Fountaintown, IN in the 1000 block of N Shelby 700 W. This incredibly sweet boy is not microchipped or wearing a collar with tags and he weighs 38.9 lbs. The caller stated it took them forever to catch him, as he is very shy and scared. He flinches at every touch, but has shown no aggression. As he was too scared to walk, he had to be carried to his bed in his kennel. His feet are raw and chapped like he's been running for a while. He could have come from a nearby county. As Shar Pei's are notorious for eye issues, we believe he is suffering from some. They water constantly and he can barely keep them open. While he will be going to the vet, we would love to know his medical history or ANYTHING about him.

If you can help this sweet boy, please contact us @ 317-392-5127 or email us ANYTIME @cityofshelbyvillein.com / @cityofshelbyvillein.com Thank you.

❤️‍🔥CALLING ALL SHEPHERD LOVERS❤️‍🔥

We have TWO gorgeous german shepherds at our shelter waiting for their forever homes. Rogue and Freedom are young, loyal, smart, and sweet as can be! Do I have your attention yet? If so, let me tell you a little bit about them.

ROGUE'S BIO:

Rogue is another displaced stray/ dumped dog that was found in Waldron, Indiana. He entered our shelter wanting to make friends with everyone. He was so friendly, in fact, that he was selected by Vet Tech Institute to be fully vetted! That's right - this guy is current on ALL vaccines, neutered, microchipped, full dental, and bloodwork! He has so much to offer and we can't believe he's still here. Since he was a stray, we do not know much about how he is with other animals, so a meet&greet is required if you have other dogs. Rogue's adoption fee is WAIVED. Please consider coming to meet him. Questions about Rogue? Please call us @ 317-392-5127 or email us ANYTIME @cityofshelbyvillein.com / @cityofshelbyvillein.com

FREEDOM'S BIO:

This is our third dumped German Shepherd in two weeks, this one from West Smithland Freedom Street in Shelbyville Indiana. On Monday, October 21, he will be available for adoption. He's a big boy - weighing in at 85 pounds and his adoption fee will be a monetary donation that you decide. Freedom is neutered and current on his rabies vaccination with proof of both! He is also microchipped! He is ready to go. Because he is a stray, we know nothing about him, although when I had Sweet Pea out for a walk, he really REALLY wanted to meet her and was barking quite a bit. If you have another dog, a meet and greet is mandatory. We are always looking for tips as to who owned all of these dogs (and cats) that are reportedly dumped. Questions about our pets, policies or procedures call the Shelbyville Shelby County Animal Shelter at 317-392-5127 or email us @cityofshelbyvillein.com / [email protected]

11/19/2024

URGENT PLACEMENT NEEDED:
These two kittens are around a month old and were born to a feral mom. They were born outside but are very sweet and healthy (besides the goopy eyes). It is getting colder and these babies need a home indoors or maybe in a warm barn. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN EITHER KITTEN, PLEASE CONTACT SHEILA @ 317-443-8325. THANK YOU.

11/19/2024

We have some adorable kittens in our kitten room! These guys are all between 4-6 months old, and they will receive their boosters, dewormer, and flea meds before they leave. Looking for a new addition before the holidays? Come meet our babies Monday - Thursday from 10:30 - 4:30pm or Fridays until 4:00pm. They will all be scheduled to go to the Low-Cost Spay/ Neuter Clinic to be fixed and updated on their rabies vax. All fees are waived!

11/19/2024

Officer Wood picked up this intact male DSH tiger from the 100 block of 2nd Street in Shelbyville, IN. He is very friendly but dirty, like he's been rolling around in mud. He has some missing fur on his back most likely due to untreated fleas. He is not microchipped or wearing a collar. If you are missing him or know who is, please call the shelter @ 317-392-5127 or email us anytime @cityofshelbyvillein.com / @cityofshelbyvillein.com

11/18/2024

Officer Alexander picked up this female DSH black kitten from 125/ Progress Parkway. The kitten was found in the middle of the road with a bloody mouth. He could've been thrown from a moving car or maybe he caught a ride and jumped out. We would like to know! If you have any info on this sweet baby, please contact us @ 317-392-5127 during business hours or email us ANYTIME @cityofshelbyvillein.com / @cityofshelbyvillein.com

11/18/2024

Officer Alexander just picked up this male DSH white/tiger from the Clearwick Park area in Shelbyville. He is not chipped or wearing a collar. He is clean, friendly, and good with other cats. If you are missing him or you know who is, please call us at @317-392-5127 or email is anytime @cityofshelbyvillein.com / @cityofshelbyvillein.com . Kitten season has become year round and we are feeling it. Please reach out if you can help. Thank you!

11/18/2024

Officer Wood just picked up this female, DSH, emaciated tabby from the boat ramp at Sunset Park. She is not microchipped or wearing a collar with tags. She is starving and friendly. The caller stated his dog found the cat on their walk at the park and she gladly went home with them for the weekend. If you are missing her or can no longer care for her, please call to surrender/ claim @ 317-392-5127 or email us ANYTIME @cityofshelbyvillein.com / @cityofshelbyvillein.com THANK YOU!

11/15/2024

Oh, Samantha, we always looks forward to your updates on our favorite toothless senior. So good to hear you're both doing well. What I would give to be snuggled up with my favorite blankey right now!

Good morning!

Garfield wanted to check in and let everyone know that he isn't minding the chilly weather and rain because his blankie in the window is keeping him very cozy! 🌧️
Garfield is doing very well lately. He has become incredibly playful over the past few weeks and cannot get enough of his toys! We will be leaving our little studio next month to go home while I start my externships in Shelbyville and Indianapolis over the spring and summer semester, so I am soaking up the last few weeks of peaceful apartment living with just "Sam and Garf." He has been such a great companion during my time away from home and I am looking forward to our next adventure together after I graduate!

With Sycamore Pride,

Samantha McGivern

Ladies and Gentlemen.. let me introduce you to..

☁️Sky☁️

Ms. Sky was relinquished today as her and the male dog in the house were not getting along.

Sky is a yellow lab and is about 8 years old. Although she is an older gal and weighs a whopping 88 lbs, Sky still loves running around and chasing tennis balls🎾
Sky has always been an outside dog so she is most likely not housebroken. Don't listen to the old myth though - you CAN teach this old dog new tricks if you'd like to bring her inside. Sky always ignored cats in the yard and she loves people and children. We will require a meet & greet if you have other dogs. Sky is not spayed and seems to have had a litter in the past. No worries! If you adopt this gorgeous gal, we will send her to the Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic to get her fixed and update her rabies vax at NO COST to you! Sky will also be microchipped as well as receive her boosters, dewormer, and flea meds before she leaves.
Is anyone interested in a butterball to call your own? COME CHECK OUT SKY!
If you are interested in her or any of her friends, please visit the shelter Monday-Thursday 10:30-4:30 and Fridays until 4:00. Questions? Call us @ 317-392-5127 or email us ANYTIME @cityofshelbyvillein.com / @cityofshelbyvillein.com

After medicated bath #2. Sweet Pea is acting so much better. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Don't despair, we'll get to those nails. She doesn't like having her legs or paws messed with. We want to take things a bit slow and not stress her out.

We named the dumped Pit bull mix, Skully, who was going up to cars on Marietta Road Monday night. We have learned who owned him and hoping he does the right thing and sign him over. Here he is, showing Brynna all of "skills." Skully is about six months old and has a lot of puppy energy. He is scheduled to be neutered so he will be turnkey ready for his loving and forever home. Questions or tips about Skully, call the Shelbyville Shelby County Animal Shelter at 317-392-5127 or email me anytime at [email protected]. Thank you for sharing and don't forget Saturday, October 5th....help us clear out our shelter and get fall pics taken with Zonda!

UPDATE: THE GIRLS ARE CURRENTLY ON A TRIAL ADOPTION!! They are still needing homes.

We are looking for homes (or a home) for Carmen (calico) and Pia (female, black and white). This is a video from this morning. They are a hoot and love to romp, pounce and wrestle. Their fees have been waived today! They are litter box trained, love attention, affection and food. Did I mention they love food? They were found in a wheel well on East Broadway Street in Shelbyville Indiana two weeks ago. They are now big and old enough to be fostered-to-adopt. Questions about our darling duo? Call the Shelbyville Shelby County Animal Shelter at 317-392-5127 or email me anytime at [email protected]. Thank you for sharing and helping these babies find love. God bless you.

Elvis has been a little busy burying bones but he really wishes he could have a backyard of his own so he doesn’t have to hide his bones from the other shelter dogs. See how he buries them? Very mindful. Very demure. Please share and help us find our sweet Elvis his forever home. Abandoned at Walnut Grove in Boggstown Indiana, no one came looking for this handsome and older hound/pit mix who knows sit, stay, is great with other dogs, gentle in taking treats and neutered. His fee has been waived and we will microchip, give him his booster vaccinations, wormer and flea meds. Questions about Elvis? Call the Shelbyville Shelby County Animal Shelter at 317-392-5127 or email me anytime at [email protected]. Our adoption hours are M-Th from 10:30 to 4:30 or until 4:00 on Friday. Thank you for sharing and helping this gray muzzle find love. God bless you, chris

WE STILL NEED A FOSTER!!! This mom and her seven newborns were picked up by Officer Alexander on West 700 North (close to the casino) in Shelbyville Indiana. She is not microchipped or wearing a collar with tags. She is very clean and healthy and we are looking for someone to care for Mom and her babies. If you are interested in fostering, please call the Shelbyville Shelby County Animal Shelter at 317-392-5127 or email me at [email protected].

Watch out, here comes Beana struttin' her stuff. She strutted all the way to the Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic where she was found to be already spayed! We went ahead and updated her rabies vaccine while she was there. Beana is a 1 year old Torbie and has a personality that'll knock your socks off. She is indifferent in the cat room, but we believe she's just an independent gal. Beana enjoys lounging around and grooming her gorgeous fur. She'd be a great lap cat for someone who wouldn't mind a little catitude. Beana is patiently waiting for her forever home. Questions about Beana? Please call the Shelbyville/ Shelby County Animal Shelter @ 317-392-5127 or email Chris anytime @ [email protected]
