Bloomington Animal Care and Control
Bloomington Animal Care and Control is a municipally operated shelter in Bloomington, IN.
As a dedicated division of the Department of Public Works, Bloomington Animal Care and Control operates the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter and provides compassionate animal control services for the community.
At the heart of our mission is a deep commitment to the well-being, dignity, and humane treatment of every animal. We work tirelessly to respond to the needs of animals in our city- offering shelter, safety, and second chances through education, ordinance enforcement, and support.
Our goal is to foster a community where every animal is valued, cared for, and treated with kindness and respect-because every life matters, and every act of care makes a difference.
As our animal population continues to grow, we remain committed to maintaining an exceptional live release rate. Even with the increasing number of animals in our care, we proudly achieve a 94-96% live release rate, reflecting our dedication to giving each animal the chance for a happy and healthy future.

Double the Love Medical Fundraiser 2026
Double the Love One Donation. Twice the Impact. Every day, the Bloomington Animal Shelter cares for animals who need more than food and shelter. They arrive with broken bones, severe injuries, illnesses, heartworm disease, infections, and other medical conditions that require immediate veterinary care. The Double the Love campaign helps ensure these animals receive the treatment they need to heal, recover, and find loving homes. From September 1–21 , every donation will be matched dollar for dollar , up to $20,000 , thanks to an anonymous donor. That means your gift will have twice the impact , helping provide emergency surgeries, medications, diagnostics, dental care, and other lifesaving treatments. Together, we can turn compassion into second chances. Join us in reaching our $40,000 goal and help give Bloomington's most vulnerable animals the care, and the future they deserve.
