Indigo Rescue Charity Profile
Indigo Rescue is an all volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to end animal abandonment and pet overpopulation in our communitiy.
We are not a shelter and cannot accept animals from the public. Instead we offer free consultation services to independent rescuers who wish to place animals that they have found. We also, on occasion, foster animals from Washington County Animal Services.
We launch and maintain programs that will assist county and state level agencies in enforcing and deterring violation of our state law against animal abandonment.
We continue to develop and launch convenient and practical spay/neuter programs designed to encourage people to have their pets altered.
We develop new programs to discourage surrender of companion animals to our shelters, and increase likelihood of permanent placement.
Our efforts include offering consultation, resources and support to individuals from our community who are making the effort to help the abandoned animals of our community to find a permanent home.

Event volunteers: LOTS of volunteers are needed when we sponsor an event.
Indigo anti-abandonment campaign volunteers
Indigo has program to deter abandonment of pets by renters. We have asked property managers to include a paragraph in their rental agreements regarding the law against abandonment and to require micro-chipping of pets to increase probability of prosecution. We need volunteers to make follow-up phone contact with property managers. Find out if they are participating in our program, whether they need additional support or materials etc. Information is available on our Web site in English and Spanish. Additional areas of the campaign include Washington County billboards regarding the law, and trainings with landlords through Washington County Sheriffs Office. We are open to additional ideas to deter animal abandonment in our state.
Voicemail consultants
Indigo's voice mail is our link to people who need help. Calls range from owner surrenders, independent rescuers, guardians with pet behavior problems, and many more. We want to offer resources and advice that directly contribute to ending animal abandonment.
