Aggie

Aggie is a cute little 8.5 month old AKC registered Lhasa Apso who someone bought from a breeder but didn't really understand the training needs of this breed and ended up taking her to the shelter. Aggie just needed someone to remind her who's really in charge! Lhasa's commonly believe they're the boss and need someone who understands the need for firm direction. Since being in a foster home, Aggie is coming along really well. She loves other small dogs and is mildly curious about cats. Like all small dogs, she is not a good choice for a home with small children because she reacts to sharp movements.

Aggie loves to go for walks and is very active and playful. She loves her toys, but also loves playing and wrestling with another small dog. She does not respect older dogs, though, and will continue to bother them to try to get them to play with her, even after they tell her no! For this reason, another young, small dog would be the best choice for her.

Adoption Process: We are not first come first served. Indigo Rescue focuses on finding good matches between dogs and families to ensure life long adoptions. We deliver all dogs to their new homes.

All of our dogs are in foster homes. We have adoption events at the Beaverton PetSmart every other Saturday where you can meet many of our dogs at once. Click Here for our Calendar of Events. Or, if you're interested in a particular dog, you can send an e-mail via the e-mail link at the bottom of the page ("Email Indigo Rescue") with answers to the questions below. If the dog seems compatible with your situation we'll set up a time for you to meet the dog.

Do you have other pets now? (briefly describe)

Have you had pets in the past? What became of them?

What kind of exercise will you provide for the dog? (type/frequency)

What is your schedule like? How long/often will the dog be alone?

Where will the dog be while you're gone? Where will the dog be when you're home? Where will the dog sleep?

Who else lives in the home? Do you have children? How old are the children?

Are you in a home or apartment? How long have you lived there? Do you have a fully, securely fenced yard? (type/height)

Do you own or rent your home?

What changes in your life are likely in the next 10+ years (or life span of the dog) and how will the changes affect the dog? (moving, job or schedule change, school, having children)

Anything else you'd like us to consider in finding the right dog for your family?
