Hamilton County is so lucky to have this world-class animal shelter in Fishers. HSHC recently moved…read morefrom its Noblesville location to this brand-new (and expanded) facility in Fishers, and it's unbelievable. I started volunteering here a few months ago, and I've been impressed with HSHC from all angles - the volunteer orientation, the facility, the staff. While it's not ideal for animals to be at a shelter, this place is a top-notch place to stay until the cats and dogs find their "fur"ever homes. Please note if you are looking to adopt that the building doesn't open to the public until noon each day. You can browse the dog rooms and catteries, but you cannot pet or touch an animal until you've completed an application and been approved. Read all the policies online to be prepared! You can even submit an adoption application online.

The adoption rates are very affordable as well! We had a thorough meeting with our new dog and the handler, met with the adoption team, the behavior team and the medical team and all were very helpful explaining each step and took the time to address any questions we had to walk-through the complete process and history of the animal, as they know it. And the facility is just beautiful! On the dog side, they make it really easy to interact with dogs being considered for adoption and it was just a wonderful experience to find our perfect match and help a dog in need!

After arriving home Puppy was scratching more than usual. Gave puppy tick and flea bath. Took puppy to vet within 7 days for checkup and to start monthly preventative. Within 7 days I saw tape worms in puppies stool And fleas hoping off puppy at vet. It take about 3 weeks to develop tape worm. Very disappointed to see a 10 week old puppy with fleas and tape worms. Seller advised she had another puppy to sale. That poor unknowingly buyer is purchasing a puppy that has been exposed to fleas and possibly tape worms since puppies are untreated. The seller advised me she works for a vet clinic. Shame on you. Yes, I text seller who said, "she will let the other buyer know." The horrible scratching on day one and being a vet rep., the seller was aware these puppies had flea's. You just wanted to sell them right away.

The process is simple: you arrive and check out the dogs/cats that are available from…read morerescues/shelters around the state; find one and play with them; fill out the paperwork and pay $30; and you're on your way with a new pup. I can see how this can be an issue for those that are cautious about ensuring that the animals are going to a good home, but on the flip side, it's a great event that helps to find permanent houses for most of the animals (just an assumption). This year, I went on both days. The first day I arrived 2ish hours after they had opened and nearly all of the pups were gone that were what I was looking for. I wanted to go back the next day to check it out, thinking that more pups would have been brought in - not the case at all. Cats were still in abundance both days. I got there right on time and they had nearly no new dogs from the last time. Sadly, there were all nearly Pits too. Even worse, my apartment complex doesn't allow Pits. I love the idea but hope that next year, even more dogs are brought in on the 2nd day so they can find their forever homes. The volunteers are great too. They usually didn't know most of the answers to the questions you had because they were simply volunteers, so that might be something to improve on next year. Instead of having the volunteers taking you and your possibly furry friend to the "meet and greet" stations, have one of the staff members from the shelters/rescues there so that you can get your questions answered while you're getting to know them. That was one major flaw I had. Every question I had wasn't able to be answered. Big props to the volunteers though!

THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EVENT…read more I cannot stress enough that if you are looking for a cat or dog, GO TO INDY MEGA. I would highly suggest going earlier in the event too because animals get adopted quickly!!! All the adoptable animals are up-to-date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. They cost $30 for adoption and they are ready to go to their furrever homes!! A lot of the shelters too offer vets that give free wellness checks or 30 days of free pet care insurance. (FYI: most vets will give you a free first visit if you adopted from a shelter). DOGS: One thing that I do want to caution about: A lot of the dogs are pitbulls or pit bull mixes. I have NOTHING against Pits; I love them. What I want to specifically bright to light is that a lot of these dogs had to go to an only pet home and were not good with kids. As a cat lady, this doesn't really work with my family. There a lot of other dogs who are not like this but I just want people to know this because there are a lot of dogs who need some love in a single pet/no kid home. I KNOW there are people out there who can do this for these animals. I heard that all the dogs got adopted except one the last time this event was held. AMAZING!!!! CATS: WOW. So many cats at Indy Mega. I think hundreds and maybe thousands of cats. I came at the end of the event and was leaving when I found the MOST perfect kitten who I just knew belonged to me and needed to come home! There was only 20 minutes left in the event but I was not rushed into the decision at all. The volunteers helped me visit with the cat, listened, and helped me through the decision making process without pushing me into adopting. If the volunteers didn't know the answer to my questions, they directed me to someone who could. The adoption process of my new cat was so easy. Took about 10 minutes. The greatest part is all the stuff they sent me home with. I got coupon books for both Petco and PetSmart. I got TONS of toys and treats. They gave me some wet food and a wet food can cover. I even got a bucket for free 10 pound box of litter (so helpful) and the bucket can be reused so I can go back for more discounted litter at Petco (I think). They really set you up for success. They want these pets to go to great homes. I couldn't be more thankful for such an amazing event. Great job Indy!!! and PLEASE check this event out even if you are just considering getting a pet.

But when I give them a command they do it. When I walk them, I can stop and have a conversation with someone and they are behaved. Bruce has a method. I followed it for novice training. Now we are in advanced training and agility. My dogs are happy dogs. And they are good citizen dogs. I would say Bruce didn't train my dogs though. He trained me (and my daughter) on how to train them. There are fun events through the year too - Christmas parties, Halloween parties, for the dogs and the people.

We adapted our puppy 2 weeks before we started our class and we right before adapting knew that First Friend would be the only place to be for training our puppy. In 8 weeks, we had an amazing, well trained puppy who was so obedient, and well mannered. This was done through weekly classes and reaffirmation of 10 mins training everyday. I didn't have the time to train more but I stuck to the same schedule and Bruce's training concepts and it was GOLD! Highly recommend Bruce for your First Friend, you will NOT REGRET it! This is so essential to create the best experience for your puppy and YOU!
