Lincoln

Lincoln is some sort of Chihuahua mystery mix. He's larger than a Chihuahua. Whatever he is, he's very cute! Lincoln is about 6 or 7 years old. When he came to us from the shelter he was in a critical condition from diabetes. He had probably been diabetic for a while, but his owner never took him to the vet so he was never treated. He nearly died. It took a few weeks to get his blood sugar stabilized and now he's like a differnet dog! He had been extremely lethargic, but now he's active, happy, very food motivated and curious. Lincoln will need daily insulin injections. Lincoln's fosters had no experience ewith this until they started caring for Lincoln and they've found it to be quite easy. They simply distract him with a treat and he never even notices the shot! The needle for insulin is very small. The monthly cost will be about $25.

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?
