Jemma

This little flirt is Jemma.

Jemma is a 7 month old beagle mix. She's got beautiful expressive brown eyes and when she looks at you and cocks her head she is downright irresistable. She might be too exuberant for a family with young children but she's fabulous with older kids. She loves to run and play and wants to keep up with everything going on around her. She is very curious and smart and will go looking for entertainment if she's bored.

Jemma LOVES playing with chew toys. She's learning that her crate is a cozy, happy place and after a few minutes of whining and/or barking she settles down. She knows Sit and Down, is food-motivated, and is quite gentle at taking treats although she does jump up. She is wonderful with the other (much bigger) dogs in the house and plays happily in a very good-natured way. There are no signs of food aggression or being possessive of toys. Just an impish sense of humor about stealing toys when the other dogs aren't looking...

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?
