24 pet personals just in time for Valentine's Day

Looking to adopt a pet? We'll help you find your match by Valentine's Day.

The Indianapolis Star set up a special Valentine's Day photo shoot for animals up for adoption across Central Indiana. Whether your taste is exotic or cute, it will be hard to not fall in love. Here are their "dating profiles," though check ahead: They already may have swept a new owner of his or her feet.

Tucker

Fit, tan, single and ready to mingle. Up for a romantic walk this afternoon? I’m an adventurer who is looking for the right mate for endless playdates. I have exquisite taste, so if you’re a foodie, call me.  We can chat about bones over the phone. Check the Indianapolis Humane Society at indyhumane.org.

Angus

Single, furry and smooth operator looking for a family to call my own. If you are looking for a cuddle buddy to hang out with on chilly nights, I’m your guy. My midnight coat will drive you wild. Interested? Update: adopted.

Princess Peach

Warning: I’m a heartbreaker. But what princess isn’t?  Falling in love with me is easy to do, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself in a jewelry store shopping for princess-cut diamonds to throw at my feet. I’m looking for a prince to call my own. Update: adopted.

Bbop

Humans tell me that I’m almost too cute to be real. I’m a young pup looking for someone to roll through life with.  My hind legs are paralyzed, but that doesn’t stop me from Bbopping around, thanks to a cool set of wheels. Ready to roll with me?  Contact my foster mom Syd Banch at (317) 366 2266 or helpingpawsonline.com.

Chansey

Don’t fight the feeling. I feel it, too. It’s impossible to resist my button nose and cat eyes. Let’s talk about life over catnip and milk on a Friday night. Update: adopted.

Volkswagen

I’m a big guy with an even bigger heart. Let’s grab dinner some time. I’m a social butterfly, so I’m dying to have a drink at one of Indy’s canine friendly bars with you. What kind of bottled water would you recommend? Fiji or Evian? Want to go out for a drink?  Check the Indianapolis Humane Society at indyhumane.org.

Lucy Coe

Don’t let my fancy dress fool you. I’m a down-to-earth lady who is looking for a lifetime of affection.  Imagine how our days would be together. Me and you — just us two. Update: adopted.

Chip

Stop it, I know what you’re thinking: “His bow tie is so cute.” I pride myself on good looks, but I’m looking for a deeper connection in my next relationship. It’s time for me to settle down. Update: adopted.

Noelle

Do you believe in love at first sight? If you do, I’m your girl. Cats around town know me as a hopeless romantic with big expectations.Update: adopted.

Stormy

Dark and stormy nights won’t be so dark when I’m around. Need I say more?  My name may be Stormy, but I’ll bring sunshine into your life. Update: adopted.

Ghirardelli

What’s Valentine’s Day without chocolate? I’m single, brown and a goofball looking for love.  Let’s plan a date made for two, or we can hang out with friends. Update: adopted.

Boo and Thumbelina

Room for two more? We’re ready to turn this duo into a trio! All we need is you. Update: adopted.

Nening and Clover

Hey, honey! Do you have room for two bunnies in your bungalow?  Make sure your fridge is stocked with leafy greens and carrots for our welcome party. We’ll take care of the rest. Contact the Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary at (317) 809-2153 or earps.org.

Basil and Lilly

We’re looking for an intriguing person who can keep our attention. We get bored pretty easily, so keep the conversation short on our first date. We’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other. Contact the Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary at (317) 809-2153 or earps.org.

Louise, Max and Ruby

Dating etiquette doesn’t matter to us.  Guinea pigs never worry about anyone feeling like they are the third wheel. We’re too laid back for that. Let’s meet for a drink. We’d be happy to make you the fourth wheel.  Contact the Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary at (317) 809-2153 or earps.org.

Floriebunda

“Netflix and Chinchilla” could be the next big thing on the dating scene. I’m also a fan of dust baths. Contact the Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary at (317) 809-2153 or earps.org.

Biscuits and Gravy

We’re a packaged deal. There’s no way you can have biscuits without gravy.  The two are just better together. Don’t you agree? We can cook up our own family recipes down the road. Interested? Contact FACE low-cost Animal Clinic at (317) 638-3223 or facespayneuter.org.

Joseph

Don’t let my scruffy exterior fool you.  I love to be held. I’m a 15-year-old cat looking for a serious relationship. Contact FACE low-cost Animal Clinic at (317) 638-3223 or facespayneuter.org.

Sam

Compassion is my favorite trait. Without it I wouldn’t be where I am today. I’m completely deaf, and partially blind, but that doesn’t hold me back. My shortcomings make me easy to love. Contact the Humane Society of Putman County at (765) 653-1943 or hspcanimals.org.

Ace

Brown, strong, survivor looking for someone to celebrate life with. I was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Florida, so I’m ready to plant roots in the Hoosier State. Let’s go for a long walk soon. Contact Tribe Bully Rescue at (317) 223-6316 or tribeofjudahpbr.wix.com/tribebullyrescue.

Dixie

I’m a strong lady looking for the love of a lifetime. Imagine us together at the dog park, playing catch, exchanging kisses, making future plans. Contact the Humane Society of Putman County at (765) 653-1943 or hspcanimals.org.
