Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

OLBH was founded and is directed by a VERY compassionate woman who started our shelter from scratch 26 yrs. ago! She is a pleasure to work with and a wonderful role model!

Another way of looking at this would be to pass a law requiring all pets to be microchipped. OLBH microchips all of the dogs when they enter our system, so that in the future if it were to get loose from an adopter, OLBH would be notified.

OLBH has a thorough adoption application process that guarentees success in an adoption. If the family circumstances change, then we always welcome our OLBH dog back to our home.

OLBH has 60+ foster homes across Central Indiana and we NEED MORE to get the senior dogs out of the kennel environment. Fostering rehabilitates dogs by placing them in normal home environments and makes them easier to get adopted!

Before adoption, each OLBH canine is spayed or neutered - it's REQUIRED!
