Services
Animal Rescue
We rescue animals with specialized needs requiring medical treatment, behavioral therapy, or emotional rehabilitation. Our team addresses complex cases involving trauma, chronic conditions, or socialization challenges. Through individualized care plans, we prepare these animals for permanent adoption while maintaining a lifetime commitment to their well-being.
Adoption Services
Our adoption process focuses on lifelong matches through rigorous applicant screening and home assessments. We prioritize animals' specific needs over application order, ensuring each pet transitions to a home equipped to handle their unique requirements. Post-adoption support guarantees continued success for both adopters and pets.
Foster Care
Foster homes provide critical one-on-one care for animals needing specialized attention. Our network supports long-term stays, medical recovery, and behavioral training in home environments. Fosters receive full support while helping pets transition from rescue to permanent adoption.

Indigo Ranch offers country-style boarding with play areas and personalized care. This for-profit service directly funds rescue operations while providing a stress-free environment for pets. Revenue supports our mission of saving special-needs animals.
Senior Pet Care

My dog, Elton, loves being boarded here and being free to run around. I have always come back from my trips to a happy, healthy, and tired pup which is a huge comfort to me. They really care about their boarders which makes the hour drive worth it!

This adoption agency doesn't seem too interested in getting their dogs adopted. 2 years ago my partner and I found the dog we wanted on their website through pet finder. After about a month long emailing process my partner and I finally got to meet the pup. We fell in love and wanted to move forward. A full week later they got back to us and said they didn't think we would be a good fit for this pup.
They didn't say why at all. Their reasoning was the pup "would probably have a better life in a different home." I just looked at their website and it turns out the same dog is still up for adoption. sounds like that dogs been living its best life in foster care not having a forever home.

My rescue mutt Jack is not the easiest pup to handle. The great people at Indigo welcome him with open arms. Well worth the drive from Portland!

My dog loves it here and I've had problems putting him in normal kennel type situations. The dogs aren't caged up but sleep in dorms. They also get lots of exercise running around the fenced in field without additional cost as I've run into with other kennels. Someone is always onsite too making sure the dogs are safe. Besides it's for a good cause as it benefits Indigo Rescue. Can't go wrong.

Nice kennel with large outdoor spaces for dogs. Both times we have used them our dogs have seemed happy and well cared for by the staff. Well priced and supports rescue operations. Will use them again for when we need to kennel our dogs.

This place is amazing! They care about the animals SO much, it's the only place I will take my two huskies. My older husky is very picky, sometimes grumpy, and gets separation anxiety. He does great here. They always come home happy and tuckered out:- Thanks again, Indigo Ranch!

Our dog absolutely loves coming here. They treat our pets like their own family. Completely confident in their caring for our dog for overnight or weeks!
