I've been a foster for ARPO now 5 years. I mostly take in cats and kittens. I love that this group is so willing to take the animals into their homes. Some fosters have an amazing number of pets in their homes waiting for forever homes. They work with the animals to socialize them and go out of their way to get very sick animals healthy. The animals are neutered before they are adopted out. Hard to place animals do find homes. Adopters agree to return the animal to ARPO if they can no longer provide for it. If you are looking for a group to donate, please consider ARPO.

This is probably the best and most recognized rescue group in the Indianapolis are, yet their founders started the group in the Fishers area. They do take animals to many pet fairs, so to get adopted and are one of the oldest and well organized rescue groups known around the Indianapolis are. Best known as "ARPO". I personally was involved when they first got started back around 1995 or 1996, but have since had other obligations to tend to, but still donate and attend some of their events. They are very dedicated to the mission or promoting "responsible pet owners" and the adoption of unwanted or surrendered/found pets.
