Australian Shepherd - Moses - Medium - Baby - Male - Dog in Beaverton, Oregon For Sale

Australian Shepherd - Moses - Medium - Baby - Male - Dog
Meet Moses! Moses was born with a disorder called congenital hypotrychosis. It means he has bald areas with absolutely no hair. And we don't just mean no hair, his bald areas have no peach fuzz, nothing! In fact, apart from his obvious bald head (which we think is adorable and refer to as "male pattern baldness") his entire belly area is bald and smooth. It's really crazy. We named him Moses because he has white eyebrows and white hair on the back of his head - something like Moses did! Moses is about eight months old, and he adores other dogs and people. He can get shy without another doggie friend around, but he is really very social once he knows he is safe. Moses is VERY playful with other dogs. He loves, loves to be outside. Even when it's raining! We're not sure what breed mix Moses is, but because of his bob tail, and a story we heard from Eastern Oregon where he came from, we're going to say Aussie with something else ;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 adoption events at the Tanasbourne Petco on Wednesdays and at PetSmart on 185th every other Sunday where you can meet many of our dogs at once. 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.
