Dharma

This sweet young black lab deserves to be spoiled rotten! And she's so adorable - that'll be easy for you! Poor Dharma was bred and when her puppies were sold, her breeder took her into the woods and dumped her. He'd made his profit and was done with her. Fortunately some other people heard of this, found her and brought her to the shelter. She came to us so she could recover from the ordeal in a loving foster home.

Dharma is between six months and a year old but she acts like a puppy! We're looking for a loving family to show Dharma that people really can be good and they can see dogs as friends, not as things to be bought, sold, used, or dumped.

You'll notice that Dharma has some areas of thin hair. She had mange when she came to us. This has been treated and it just takes a bit of time for her hair to grow in, but it will be thick and glossy. In these pictures the speckles on her head are snow flakes - she had just had a great time in the snow!

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?

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