Dex

Dex is just as sweet as any Golden/Lab mix could be. He's probably about three years old and full of energy and love! Dex has a soft, shiny, reddish colored coat and the classic Golden Retriever point on his head. He's underweight but should be about 70 lbs at his optimal weight.

Dex is crate trained and happy to be in his crate as long as he has a Kong in there with him. He loves toys and balls and gets along great with other dogs. Dex loves to chase and be chased! He's really just a big puppy...

Dex has some dominance with other dogs and should be adopted by someone who understands good training and can work with him to improve his social skills with other dogs. He is going to be a great dog. He's already shown us he knows some basic commands and with some gentle correction, he is willing to learn more. With an obedience class and some consistent training practice, you could have a terrific companion!

Dex should not go to a home with cats.

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

What kind of exercise will the dog get? (type/frequency)

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

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?

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

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?

Thank you for your interest in adopting and saving a life!
