Charlie Keeshond & Corgi Mix Beaverton, OR

Meet Charlie!

Charlie is a funny little guy. We can see Keeshond in him, but he also has short legs and the body style of a Corgi. Who knows??!! He's a cutie! The vet thinks he's about five - six years old, but he acts just like a pup! Charlie gets along finewith other dogs, he doesn't actually try to engage them, he just hangs out with them. He also does great with most people, but he can be barky around men until he knows them. Charlie is very busy. He would make a great hiking companion, but may not be a dog who can be off-leash and probably wouldn't be best as a runner. He's also a great medium size, and weighs 28lbs. Most important, we don't think Charlie's original owner did any training with him, or provided him with exercise and stimulation. Whomever adopts this great little guy will be required to do a training class so Charlie can learn the fundamentals of leadership. Luckily, he's highly food motivated! :o)

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 a few of our dogs available for meets at the Tanasbourne Petco on Thursdays from 4-7pm and at PetSmart on 185th every other Sunday from noon until 3pm. Or, if you're interested in a particular dog, you can send an e-mail with answers to the questions below via the purple Contact this Organization button at the upper right of the pet's description. Just copy and paste the questions into your email to respond. 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?

Indigo Rescue only adopts to homes within 30 miles of Portland because our volunteers deliver all of our dogs to their adoptive homes. We work very hard to create a family of our Indigo Rescue adopters because we want to be close enough to help in case there are any problems. We want everyone to be happy and successful!

Adoption Fees: $200 for larger adult dogs, $250 for small adult dogs and puppies of any size.

Thank you for your interest in adopting and saving a life.
