Thank you for your interest in volunteering with OCU at Indigo Ranch!

All proceeds from OCU at Indigo Ranch go to support Indigo Rescue.  By helping out at Indigo Ranch, you’re helping Indigo Rescue to rescue homeless companion animals.  Plus - it’s fun!

Oregon Canine University at Indigo Ranch

We frequently have Saturday work days at Indigo Ranch - typically 10am to 3pm.  We do all kinds of things - care for the chickens, play with the dogs, build and repair fences, garden, and more. It’s a really fun environment for Portland “city slickers.”  How often do we get to gather eggs or do work that doesn’t involve a computer?  Not often enough! Let us know if you’ll be coming out to join us!

If you’d like to know about Indigo Rescue and Indigo Ranch volunteer opportunities like our Saturday work days, please sign up for our volunteer email list by sending an email to volunteerindigo-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. This is the main way we communicate with our volunteers about all events. You will receive an average of two emails per week with announcements about volunteer opportunities.  If you ever want to unsubscribe, simply follow Yahoo’s instructions at the bottom of one of the emails.

Join us at our bi-weekly Adoption Outreach at the Beaverton PetSmart on Walker Rd (at Cedar Hills Blvd - 12375 SW Walker Rd, Beaverton, OR 97005) from noon until 4pm.

We generally bring many but not all of our dogs to our outreach events, frequently on two shifts. Please refer to the bio of the individual dog you are interested in for confirmation of that dog’s scheduled time at Petsmart during the week prior to our outreach. The dogs are there only to meet potential adopters. We do not adopt our dogs out from PetSmart, however, we do take applications on the dogs. We are not a first come, first served organization.

Please visit our Adoption Process under Adopt on our website to learn about our adoption process.
