Bruno

Bruno is a three year old Silver Neapolitan Mastiff. He gets along great with other dogs, although he's really not interested in playing. He's a very quiet boy who is not very active but was clearly deprived of adequate walks in his former home (he has very little muscle mass in his rear legs) He really enjoys going for walks so we are looking for someone who will be committed to taking him for long, gentle walks so that he can build his muscles up. He walks well with a gentle leader and might also do well on a front clipping ( EZ Walk) harness.

Bruno is a sensitive boy and was absolutely petrified when he was at the county shelter but he has done great since getting into a foster home. He is a true couch potato and feels very comfortable in a crate (probably spent much of his life in one, which may explain the loss of muscle mass.) Bruno also rides great in the car. Bruno is really just a big, gentle beast and we know he will really blossom once he's in a stable, loving 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 adoption organization") 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?
