The Dalmatian Club of Greater Indianapolis (DCGI) was formed in 1974 and is organized as a Not-For-Profit corporation.

The objectives of the club are as follows:

• To be a permanent regional organization for people in Central Indiana interested in the breed.
• To serve as an educational resource for anyone with questions about the breed and to assist puppy buyers in locating reputable breeders.
• To urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by the American Kennel Club (AKC) as the only standard of excellence by which Dalmatians shall be judged.
• To support our parent club, the Dalmatian Club of America, in its efforts to improve the breed.
• To do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed, including efforts in public education and rescue.
• To conduct specialty dog shows and obedience trials and sanctioned matches under the rules of the AKC.
