Where does ARPO get their cats and dogs from?
ARPO works with several local Indiana Shelter organizations and community members to place at-risk animals in the Indianapolis area and surrounding counties.

What all do we get for the adoption fee?

How do I meet an ARPO pet I see online?
To meet a pet you see online, please fill out an adoption application at adoptarpo.org  and let us know which particular animal you would like to meet. We will review your application with the animal’s foster family and contact you to schedule a meet and greet if the foster feels that you would be a good fit for the pet. You can complete an adoption application here.

Can I adopt from ARPO if I live in another state?
Typically, ARPO limits placing its adoptable pets within a 50 mile radius of Indianapolis, however there have been exceptions, if requirements can still be met.

Does ARPO provide any warranty or guarantee?
No, ARPO cannot provide any kind of warranty or guarantee on our animals. ARPO pulls over 80% of our animals from local shelters, so many times the animal’s history is unknown. While we will try to provide you with as much detailed information as possible, it is impossible for us to make any guarantee.

Does ARPO provide microchipping for other pets?
Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) provides microchipping for only $10 and FACE offers microchipping for $20. Indy Humane provides microchip services at their Downtown and North locations for $15.
