Great news for the animals of Indiana!

🐾 Indiana is strengthening its animal protection laws — here's what you need to know about HEA 1165.

Starting July 1, 2026, House Enrolled Act 1165 will significantly enhance how Indiana handles animal cruelty and neglect. The legislation, authored by Rep. Wendy McNamara, was created to expand existing Indiana law that, until now, has only allowed for misdemeanor charges in many abuse cases. Here's what's changing:

🧑‍⚖️ Tougher penalties — Repeat animal abusers may now be charged with a Level 6 felony. First-time offenders may also face felony charges depending on the severity of the situation, hoarding conditions, or whether a minor was present.

🏠 Domestic violence protection — Abusing or neglecting an animal to threaten or coerce a family or household member will now be a felony offense.

🚗 Hot car rescues — Good Samaritans who break into a vehicle to save a trapped animal will no longer be liable for damages, as long as they call 911 first and stay with the animal until help arrives.

📋 Clearer definitions — The law sets more specific standards for adequate shelter, bedding, and care — taking into account an animal's species, age, and health.

Indiana's animals deserve protection, and this law is a meaningful step forward. Share this so your fellow Hoosiers know what's now on the books. 👇

Griffin has found a new home!! Congrats to everyone involved.

Have you ever wanted a fully trained dog that comes with everything? I'm talking housebroken, who knows commands by words AND hand signals and is good with everyone, including dogs, kids, that comes with all of his stuff? Griffin is 7, fully up to date on vaccines and neutered. Their loss is gonna be someone's gain....His family has to give him up because their son is majorly allergic to him.

Griffin is 50% Llewellyn setter and the rest of this handsome boy is listed on his DNA results. He's totally healthy and has the vet records to prove it. His favorite game is tug of war, followed by fetch as a close second.

Griffin comes with all his belongings as the family has to remove all of it from their home.

Please contact us to meet Griffin! Let's give his last chapter a great story!!

Updated post!

Latte is a 9 year old treeing walker coonhound who is easygoing and friendly. She displays exemplary manners in and out of the home, having been house trained and is well behaved indoors. She is up to date on her shots and is spayed. Contrary to the breed, she is a quiet girl except when it storms, which is easily managed with preventative medication. Every once in a while, she has a flare up of itching in between her toes, which is managed with allergy medication.

She is a sweet natured lady with lots of love to give and is being given up through no fault of her own. Her owners have taken very good care of her, even getting a routine dental done for her. She could stand to lose a few pounds. Latte currently weighs 70 lbs, which is just 5 lbs shy of what she should weigh. But we're not here to shame anyone! She really is a beautiful dog.

Latte is trained on basic commands (sit, stay, leave it, house) and knows when it's time to eat, walk, and sleep and seems to love her routine. This girl will thrive in the right home with structure and love. She is crate trained and loves her “house” She’s not much for playtime, but LOVES her walks and would do best in an environment where those are prioritized. She also loves gnawing on her bones.

She is good with dogs, older kids and everyone else. She is a total love bug!!

We're so happy that we didn't even have an opportunity to post this sweet lady! Molly's owner moved into an assisted living facility that didn't allow pets, so her sister offered to take her on as a foster. She contacted us to see if we could help find her a new home and sure enough, we did! Molly is happily living with a new sister Callie and is already making herself at home like she's always lived there!

Callie is on the left and Molly is on the right.
