Elgin’s FAQs

What is Indianapolis Animal Care Services’s adoption process?

Interested in adopting from ACS? Here’s how our adoption process works: Look at our available animals for adoption by going to our Petfinder page. Fill out an online adoption application with the name of the pet you have fallen in love with, OR leave it blank and our adoption counselors will help you pick your new best friend. Submit the application and then come to the shelter. IMPORTANT: No appointments are necessary for walkup adoptions. However, we would encourage you to still fill out the adoption application online to help speed the process along at the shelter.
