Peabody

Pixie is a 2 year old male chihuahua. Peabody is very attached to Pixie, the female chihuahua in his foster home who is also up for adoption through Indigo Rescue. They would love to go to a home together. Pixie and Peabody do well with other dogs, but can be a little "lap aggressive" at first - meaning that they try to protect their person. But they're fine once they get over that. They are in a foster home with cats and are curious about the cats, but do well with them. They do sometimes mark in their foster home, but we think that wouldn't happen if they were the only two in their new home. Their new family will just have to watch them very closely at first and correct any bad decisions. Pixie is happy and active. She's also very loving and would love to be in a home where she got lots of love, attention, pets, and lap time. Peabody is still very puppy like and likes to play around a lot and loves for his people to play with him. He can be an escape artist because he thinks it's fun to zoom around the neighborhood as you chase after him! So he should be in a home with a secure fence or be on leash when outside. He's a puppy and is curious (as he should be) and does sometimes get into things.

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?
