Sawyer

Sawyer is a nine month old sweetheart. He's a wonderful, playful boy. He does very well with other dogs, though he's a little skittish around ones bigger than he is at first but he warms up to them. We had him at the dog park today for example and when we first got there, he stuck really close to me with his tail tucked between his legs. After a while, he was running over to the gate to greet the new arrivals that came to the park.

Sawyer absolutely loves people - men, women, kids, it doesn't matter. If they have hands to pet him, he likes them. He does fairly well on a leash - not perfect yet but we are working on it.

He does bark a bit when he hears something outside but nothing too bad. He usually quiets down when he's told to. The one thing that does seem to bother him is being totally alone. He does just fine if there is either someone there or if there is another dog around, even if he's in his crate while the other dog is free. I've also found over the last couple days that leaving the TV on for him seems to help.

All around, Sawyer is just a happy go lucky pup. He's got tons of energy and absolutely loves to play. He also likes to be wherever his person is so I think he's going to make an absolutely wonderful companion.

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?
