Marlena Chihuahua & Dachshund Mix Beaverton, OR

 


Meet Marlena.


Marlena is bundle of sweet, playful energy, with a puppy like joy to her. She is the perfect size at 11 pounds..  Everyone who meets her loves her!  She loves to snuggle with her humans and make little squeals of delight. She loves to run and play and with other dogs, and squeak and fetch her toys. Marlena has been in foster care for a bit because she was found with a broken hip that needed surgery. Now she runs like a bullet and can hike up a mountain.. She is excellent with cats, and with older children. You will have struck gold if this little charmer becomes your forever pal.


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?
