Dietrich

Dietrich is a super handsome Blue Great Dane. He is almost three years old. Dietrich epitomizes the term gentle giant. Very mellow, easy going, couch potato. Great on a leash, good with other dogs. What more could you ask for in a giant?!

Dietrich had a severe case of diarrhea that caused him to lose about 40lbs and nearly cost him his life when his former owners decided to have him euthanized because they could not control it. After putting Dietrich on a strict grain free diet, His diarrhea has completely stopped and he has gained 10lbs in the past two weeks. Hurray! Only 30lbs to go...

Dietrich should not go to a home with small children because he is a leaner and even when he leans on an adult, it can take a lot of muscle to keep from being knocked down. Other than that, what a great companion, if you can afford the food...

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?
