IVY BELLA - Poodle and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Indianapolis, Indiana

Ivy Bella seems to have missed the memo that she's supposed to be six years old. By all accounts, she still approaches life with the enthusiasm of a dog who is excited to meet everyone, go everywhere, and be part of whatever fun is happening. Her former owner described her as a great dog, and it's easy to see why. She loves people, enjoys children, gets along well with other animals, and has the kind of happy, outgoing personality that makes friends wherever she goes. Staff discovered the same thing during intake, finding her extremely well-behaved and friendly from the very start. Ivy Bella is looking for a family who will appreciate everything she brings to the table: companionship, affection, good manners, and a genuine love for being around her people. She enjoys car rides, knows a few tricks, and is happiest when she's included in everyday life. Some dogs spend their time waiting for adventure. Ivy Bella seems content simply spending time with the people she loves. The lucky adopter who welcomes her home won't just be gaining a wonderful dog. They'll be gaining a loyal friend who is ready to fill their days with tail wags, companionship, and unconditional love. All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter's care. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet
