Bear is the sweetest boy. He's a little overweight, but we have him on a diet and when he's at his optimal weight he'll be about 40lbs. Bear is about seven years old and past all of the obnoxious puppy antics. He's a calm dog who really bonds to his person. Bear's owners moved to Australia and were not able to find a home for him. Ordinarily, we don't support people who are moving and decide it isn't convenient to move with their pet, but the lengthy quarantine and moving to another country would have been a difficult thing for Bear. We can tell he's sad to lose his owners, but we can see he'll bond very well to a new person or family, just as soon as we can find one! This boy is a great starter dog, and will be a great companion.
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?
