Bounty

Bounty is a small sheltie. He's quite overweight but he's on a diet now. He's about 4 years old. Bounty was taken to the shelter because his owner suddenly discovered she had asthma (hmmm?) Unfortunately, Bounty and his best friend, a cat, lost their home. Bounty and the cat were such good friends that they played together every day. We really feel that Bounty needs to go to a home with another pet, unfortunately, we just learned that Bounty's buddy the cat, didn't make it at the shelter. Many cats get sick because of the stress of losing their homes and being put in a shelter environment. Unfortunately, no one will adopt a sick cat. Please help us end this tragedy. Help your friends find a way to keep their pets during difficult times.

Bounty was shy for a couple of days, but then started to play with toys, dogs and cats. He loves walks and does well on leash. He has a high pitched bark, but doesn't use it very often. He likes to follow his people around and hang out on the couch with them. Bounty and his new family will benefit from an obedience class. Because of his shyness we think he should not be in a home with kids under ten.

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?
