Bloodhound Mix: An adopted dog in Indianapolis, IN

Norton is a big, sweet, easy-going hound dog. Even though he's just 10 months old, Norton has a mellow, almost lazy personality. All we wants is to lie by your side and maybe get his ears scratched now and again. Norton doesn't pull on the leash and seems to be housetrained. This red bloodhound weighs about 40 pounds, and arrived at our shelter as a stray in early August. If you have room in your home and heart for this gentle boy, why not come meet him today? Ask for "Norton: A151024."

Indianapolis Animal Care and Control's adoption fee is $60 for all animals. This includes the spay/neuter surgery, all age-appropriate vaccinations (except rabies), a microchip, flea-preventative and a heartworm test (dogs) or FLV/FIV test (cats).

What to expect when you visit this animal: You will need to check in at the front desk of Indianapolis Animal Care and Control and provide a piece of picture ID. After a short wait, an adoption counselor will take you back to look at available animals. If you don't see the one you're looking for, ask for the animal by name and ID number. Dogs over 6 months of age may be taken to the outdoor kennels and/or an indoor greeting room so that you can get to know them. Ask the adoption counselor for assistance. (Be aware that the animal you are seeing may not have been let outside yet that day, and may need to potty and perhaps run some crazies off before settling down to get to know you. Also be aware that it may take a while for their true personalities to show through.) If you find an animal you want to adopt, give the kennel number or animal ID to the adoption counselor or the staff at the front desk. If the animal is not yet spayed or neutered, an appointment will be made as soon as you complete the adoption. Surgeries can usually be scheduled within 1-7 days of adoption.
