Frequently Asked Question

Are these pets for sale?

No — the pets listed on Pet Rehoming Network are not for sale in the traditional sense. They are being rehomed by their current families through a private adoption process. Many of them are already trained, socialized, and well cared for.

While there may be a modest adoption or rehoming fee, this is not a breeder or pet store service. Instead, you’re offering a second chance to a pet in need — and receiving a loving companion in return.

So if you’re searching for pets for sale in Indiana, we invite you to consider adoption as a compassionate, affordable alternative.

Ollie Australian Shepherd Aussie Adoption Bloomington Indianapolis IN

Australian Shepherd (Aussie) Dog For Adoption in Bloomington Indiana – Supplies Included – Adopt Ollie

Meet extremely lovable Ollie, a 2 year old black tricolor Australian Shepherd. This gorgeous boy has been fixed, fully vaccinated, house trained, crate trained and leash trained. He is looking for a more laid back life in a quieter home where there is less chaos (no small children) and more routine. He excels in all dog activities and knows a ton of tricks and commands. He’s anxious in his current home, and this anxiety is driving some light nipping (did not break skin) of visiting relatives (we think he is trying to drive other people away from his “herd”. In a more suitable home, Ollie is going to be a shining star. A ranch, acreage or farm will be amazing, but as long as you have a large, fully fenced yard, and plenty of time for dog activity and mental stimulation, he’ll be a happy camper. Adopt this special Australian Shepherd in Bloomington, Indiana today!

Smitty has found a home.

Meet Smitty, a gorgeous 6 year old, 39 pound Miniature Labradoodle looking for a loving new home. He is located in Zionsville, Indiana, close to Indianapolis, Cincinnati and other cities in Indiana and Ohio.

Smitty is healthy, fixed, fully vaccinated. house-broken, crate trained, leash trained and obedience trained.

He is a very affectionate dog that loves his people with all his heart. He knows many commands and tricks.

Smitty’s only issue is that he really does not like other dogs. Likely a fear-based form of aggression, it cannot be trained-away. This is the reason why he is being rehomed. His owners love him deeply, but have no other choice than to find him a dog-free home where he will be cherished and kept safe, happy and healthy for the rest of his life.

Smitty would be an ideal companion for retired dog lovers who own a house with a fenced yard for him to play in. He is great with respectful children and amazing with all people.
