Indianapolis Animal Care Services says it is completely out of space for cats and dogs. That makes this the perfect time to bring home a furry family member.

Right now, adoptions at the south-side animal shelter, 2600 S. Harding St., are free. If adoptions don't increase soon, staff will be "forced to make some tough decisions," the shelter said on its Facebook page.

“(Friday) morning, we started with zero open dog kennels and cat cages,” Katie Trennepohl, deputy director of IACS, wrote on the shelter's page. “The staff is doing everything they can to find space for the animals that continue to come into the shelter, but we desperately need the public’s help.”

Several dogs who are "frequently overlooked by adopters" have been at the shelter for more than 100 days, IACS said.

The shelter is open until 6 p.m. Friday and will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Even if you can't adopt, you can help by:
