Indy animal care workers fired for checking adopter criminal history

Summary

73% Informative

Kylee Fox , 21 , was hired as an adoption counselor in May at the city government-operated animal shelter.

The standard policy encouraged counselors to check potential adopters on MyCase before releasing an animal into the adopter’s care.

That policy was first instated in 2022 , after the gruesome hanging and stabbing death of a dog that had been adopted from Animal Care Services to an owner with a violent criminal history.

Fox and her coworker Makenna Chiddister say they enjoyed their work and love to work again.

ACS partnered with Best Friends Animal Society to review and provide recommendations to the shelter’s medical, kennel, enforcement, and adoption teams.

The ASPCA says shelters should retain broad discretion in adoption and placement decisions.

The open adoption approach matches adopters and pets through conversation, compassion, and honesty.
