Good in a home with
Guss is completely house broken and stands patiently by the door when he needs to go out. He doesn’t jump up on the furniture and sleeps quietly on his blanket next to the bed. Guss loves being with people and also enjoys the company of children, he doesn’t even mind when babies are crawling around! He has a very mellow personality and loves to kick back at home. He also rides quietly in the car.
Something else that Guss loves is going for walks. He is becoming better on the leash with the assistance of a gentle leader. I don’t think that he was socialized very much in his past life, so he loves to sniff everything and explore the world. Guss truly is stopping to “smell the roses.” Because he hasn’t been socialized Guss is very apprehensive when he meets new dogs, but once he has warmed up to them he does great! He sure has loved living with his foster brother! They wrestle and play all the time, and also enjoy just snuggling up together to take a nap.
Overall, Guss is a wonderful boy who deserves a loving home. He would make a great addition to any family!
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?
