Elijah

After seeing one at our most recent outreach event, we believe Elijah is probably a Wire Haired Dachshund mixed with some kind of terrier. He's definitely got the coat of the WH Doxie, and the personality of a Westie. We think Elijah is about 1.5 yrs old.

Elijah is very energetic and full of puppy fun and love. He's also very smart! He still needs training, though, and he needs someone patient and committed to doing that with him. Just taking him for walks, and letting him run around a backyard without asking for more, is not going to help him realize his full potential.

Elijah and Violet (Pommie/Pekingese mix) are the best of pals and love to run and play together. They are about the same size and age and would actually be great companions for one another.

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?

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