Jorde Schnauzer & Poodle Mix Beaverton, OR

Meet Jorde! (pronounced Jord-ee)

Jorde is a five year old Miniature Schnauzer mix, probably with Poodle, which would make him a "Schnoodle" according to designer names. Jorde was so matted when he came in to the county shelter as a stray that he had to be shaved to the skin. His coat is growing in nicely now. He was also not neutered, and a bit wound up. Now that he's been neutered and his hormones have settled, he's turned into a really nice, happy-go-lucky, active dog. He's still learning basic manners because he also hadn't had any training in whatever home he came from, but he is picking up on all of that really well. Jorde likes most other dogs (big dogs make him nervous at first), but he especially loves small, playful female dogs. He loves his foster mom, but he really loves men! We think he must have belonged to a man in his previous life. He is also fine with kids, but we would probably only place him in a home with kids over eight years old.

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 every other Sunday from noon until 3pm. Or, if you're interested in a particular dog, you can send an e-mail with answers to the 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.

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.
