Abigail

Abigail is a five month old Pit Bull Terrier - Boston Terrier mix. We understand that mom was a Boston Terrier and dad was a Pit Bull. Many people think she looks like a brindle boxer! She was born around the first of September, 2008. She weighs about 30lbs.

Abby is a very sweet and gentle puppy who just needs someone experienced with Terrier puppies to finish raising her to be a fine family member. She is very smart and is already started on basic obedience. She responds well to training as long as you have a good supply of cookies! She is curious about everything, including the cat in her foster home and would not be a good companion for a timid cat. A cat who stands up to her, however, would probably be OK. She is fine with children, but may knock over a small toddler in her exuberance.

Abby needs a home where she will not be left alone for long hours. She is crate trained, but puppies need time to run and play and can't be crated for more than a few hours at a time. If you have the time and patience for a puppy, Abby just might be the right addition to your 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 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 is your schedule like? How long/often will the dog be alone?

What kind of exercise will the dog get? (type/frequency)

Where will the dog be while you're gone? Where will the dog be when you're home? Where will the dog sleep?

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?

Who else lives in the home? Do you have children? How old are the children?

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?
