IndyCLAW stands for Creating Life-long Animal Welfare. IndyCLAW began as a loosely formed group of animal care professionals, all with prior rescue group experience. IndyCLAW was incorporated in 2009 and is pursuing 501(c)3 tax status.

IndyCLAW's adoption process begins with an application, followed by a home visit, optional sleep-over, adoption contract that includes return of the pet to our facility if it doesn't work out.
