Dusty Yorkshire Terrier & Poodle Mix Beaverton, OR

Meet Dusty!

Dusty is a 6lb Yorkie/Poodle (sorry, we just can't bring ourselves to acknowledge those frivolous "designer" breed names in a world with too many dogs already). Dusty is three years old and his elderly owner passed away from cancer. He had not been socialized with people or other dogs but we have been working on that and he is doing much better! He seems to really like respectful children, and other dogs who aren't grumpy. He likes to chase cats. Dusty will be a great companion for a calm home.

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 a few of our dogs available for meets at the Tanasbourne Petco on Thursdays from 4-7pm and at PetSmart on 185th from noon until 3pm every other Sunday. Ideally, if you're interested in a particular dog, you can send an e-mail with answers to the prescreen questions below via the purple Contact this Organization button at the upper right of the pet's description. Just copy and paste the questions into your email to respond. If the dog seems compatible with your situation we'll set up a time for you to meet the dog privately.

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?

Indigo Rescue only adopts to homes within 30 miles of Portland because our volunteers deliver all of our dogs to their adoptive homes. We work very hard to create a family of our Indigo Rescue adopters because we want to be close enough to help in case there are any problems. We want everyone to be happy and successful!

Adoption Fees: $200 for larger adult dogs, $250 for small adult dogs and puppies of any size.

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