Galen

Galen is an approximately two year old Jack Russell Terrier. Galen is housebroken and crate trained. He is loving, playful and smart. He is very food motivated and really wants to please his people so training him is a fun and rewarding endeavor. In true terrier fashion, he is fascinated with the caged birds and other small animals in his foster home (and yard) and should not go to a home with any small caged pets. He is fine with other dogs, cats, kids and adults. He has some issues with dogs while on leash, probably because that training was neglected when he was younger. We are working with him in foster care to overcome this issue.

Jack Russel Terriers are terrific, intelligent dogs but they are a handful. Galen should be adopted only by someone with terrier experience. He would love a companion animal, but if he gets plenty of human interaction will do OK as an only pet.

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 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?
