Hollee

This is Hollee. She is a 3 year old Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog/German Shepherd mix. Hollee and her owner are former dog training clients of mine.

She is a delightful girl, but the dynamics are not working in her current home. Her owner has tried very hard to make it work.  She is very social and loves other dogs, but should live with a male dog. 

The best home for her would be an active home that also does sports like Nosework or Barnhunt. I think she could easily do agility, but not sure that is the right fit for her temperament and would not necessarily bring out the best in her. She will benefit from a strong routine and behavioral expectations. She will do best with an experienced dog person or trainer.

Please contact me with questions or for more info.  Contact Lori at:   auseez@gmail.com.  

Carter

Meet Carter, our charming 9-year-old Whippet Boxer Mix! Carter is the perfect blend of adventure and affection. He’s always ready for a walk and loves exploring the great outdoors, but he’s just as happy snuggling on the couch after a fun day. Though Carter can be a bit anxious at first, his sweet nature shines through once he gets to know you. He’s great with kids and cats, making him a wonderful family companion. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who will be both your walking buddy and couch buddy, Carter is your guy! For more information, contact Mike at 503-936-9808.

Pua

Meet Pua, a sweet 2-year-old English Bulldog who has a heart full of love. Pua is incredibly cuddly and playful, and her favorite thing to do is play tug-of-war followed by some cozy snuggle time. She’s house trained and knows basic commands, but she does pull on the leash, so she could use a little training in that area. Pua gets along well with kids and adults, and once she meets other dogs, she loves to play with them too! I truly believe she would bring so much joy to a loving home. She is a sweet companion who’s always up for fun, and she deserves all the love and attention in the world. 

 I will be including a crate for her, her pillow, some toys and food, and her sweaters.

This is my contact information:

Otto

Meet Otto! 

He is a super sweet snuggle bug who loves being spoiled. He is about 4-5 yrs old and 45 lbs of Texas mutt. Hound/Srafordshire mix.  He is short and long. Chocolate chip cookie dough color, tater-tot shape make him adorable! 

He loves to be around people. He loves belly rubs and kisses. He is super sweet and loves to meet new friends and people. His favorite hobbies are laying in the sun, doing a few zoomies in the yard, laying next to you while you watch movies (don’t forget the popcorn ;) and going on walks. He is accustomed to snuggling with you on the furniture and loves to snuggle in on his blankets. He loves to go on car rides and just settles in for the journey. 

He is current on all vaccines, and is on heart guard. He is microchipped, up to date on all shots, neutered, potty trained, leash trained, and knows how to sit, shake, and wait. He responds very well to positive training! 

He was found wandering the streets of Texas and that has left him with a little food trauma when another dog is around. He goes on walks along other dogs and treats can be handed out to both of them, sitting together, frequently, with no issues. But if another dog is around and food is on the counter- it can lead to altercations. He will do best in a home without other dogs. While he has shown this issue towards dogs, he has never resource guarded anything from people. 

He loves to play! He is very playful with other dogs closer to his size. Large dogs make him uncomfortable and he removes himself from their play area. 

He is also crate trained and sometimes just wanders in and chews on his toys. When left alone, he is un-crated in a room with chew toys and our other dog. They can see out the window- he does not bark at the window or at other dogs.

If you are ready to welcome Otto into your loving, positive-reward based home- please contact me! $300 rehoming fee- that we will donate to Family Dog New Life Shelter. Children and cats are simply unknown. You must own your own home and have a fenced yard. 

Please email for questions/information and/or application form.

Thank you so much for considering Otto,

Ione

Max

Max is a 6 year old, 14-pound, Schnauzer Yorkie male dog from SE Portland. 

He is the sweetest companion that loves to snuggle, play and go in adventures with his humans.

Max is in good health and has been fixed. He is crate trained and well adapted to human’s societal rules of doing his business outside. He enjoys his kibble, snacks and occasional carrot parties. As he is food motivated, we’ve been able to train him in most basic commands and he understands “sit”, “down”, “stay”, “roll over”, “go to your bed”, “off”, “leave it”, “paw”, “potty” etc. 

He is smart, very friendly and very curious of other dogs and animals, and loves to meet new humans. He is also a great communicator. 

As we had Max since he was a puppy, we know his personality and quirks and know that he will thrive in a home with no other pets or kids that would compete for attention. (We do not know how he does with cats as he has not been around them. He’s been around other dogs and plays well and nicely).

He will be best suited for a single person or couple that would love to spoil him, take him on walks and hikes and share some snacks here and there. Someone with the ability to take Max to work, or that works for home would be ideal. Prior full time experience with caring for a dog is a must. 

Max is well adapted to spending time alone at home and seem to prefer sleeping in his own bed/crate. He will demonstrate some anxiety if spending the night in new environments, even with his family, but as long as you are there with him, he will be ok. He also demonstrates over excitement when riding in cars, mostly due to the anticipation with arrival and uncertainty of where he is going. 

Max does have a voice and will bark excitedly at other dogs when on a walk. He is not aggressive, just very curious and wanting to play. 

We believe that some of these behaviors can be curbed with more exercise, mental stimulation and constant exposure.

If you are interested in becoming Max’s new human, please reach out to:

Anna Min at annacmin@yahoo.com

We would love to hear more about you and why you’d love to bring Max into your life.

We do have an rehoming fee of $350 to ensure that you are serious about making this commitment.

Max will come with all of his belongings (crate/beds/bowls/harness/leash/toys/left over food/snacks/winter jacket/shampoo etc). If you’d like to groom him yourself, we can also include the grooming kit we have.

Thank you and look forward to your email. Warmly,

Anna

Charlie & Eska

Hello! We are Charlie and Eska, a bonded pair of deeply loving brothers!! Charlie (the black) is 13 years old, and Eska (the brown/tan) is 11. We think they are some sort of Chihuahua and Dockson mix and are about 10-12 lbs each. They have spent their entire lives together and are inseparable. They grew up in a loving home until their mother (my friend's grandmother) passed away unexpectedly last year, and no one in the family could take them. They have been living with my boyfriend and me as fosters since. We would like them to stay together as they are closely bonded and manage their quirky anxiety together so well! They are well-behaved and friendly but can become shy and nervous around new people and places. They will likely hang out mostly in their crate/home until comfortable. We are not asking for a re-homing fee but are particular about finding the right home for them. They need an excellent owner to love on them and is available to spend quality at-home time with them. They will come with their harnesses, dog bowls, crate, and 12 months of diamond naturals food. They are fixed, and we are confident they're vaccinated. Still, their vaccination status is unknown, and we are trying to track down some details with their former family members. They are crate-trained to an extent and are housebroken. These two are adorable and well-mannered dogs, shy around new people, places, and other pets, but they get along well with everyone. They do not, however, enjoy being picked up by surprise suddenly. These senior dogs would make excellent companions!

Relocation Fee: $0

Location: Eugene, OR (Can travel with the dogs for potential meet and greets etc)

LaLoyd

7 months old
neutered male, up to date with shots
Pit Bull Mix 
Rehome Fee: $300

Forgive my wiggling butt, I'm just so excited to meet a new friend! My name is LaLoyd and I'm 7 months old. I know it's hard to believe that the handsome puppers with ears for years that stands before you is the same lost and injured puppy my foster family saved from the busy road 5 months ago. It seems like a lifetime ago when I was hungry, battered and broken, with not a friend in the world. My foster friends saw me get hit on the road by a car and rushed me to the doctor where I was fixed up properly. Since then, I've healed and grown and learned so much at puppy social school. I've made so many friends and I'm eager to meet more! 

I'm learning my manners when meeting with new people and dogs, even cats! I sleep in my own crate and I'm nearly fully potty trained. What I would really love is to adopt a family who lives in a house with a yard and maybe even an older dog sister to play with, as long as she doesn't mind sharing her toys. Because food was scarce before I came to my foster home, I still get worried about someone taking my food and toys sometimes so I would do best in a home with no young children. My foster home is in a busy area and sometimes that stresses me out. I am still a little weary of loud cars, fast bicycles and barking dogs.That's why I am looking for a family who lives in a quieter neighborhood. I like dog savvy cats, but I admit, I could be tempted to chase one that runs. 

I love learning and would love to adopt a person who is willing to take me to a positive training class to continue my studies. My foster mum is retired but has been working on helping me feel comfortable when I'm home alone and I am able to stay home alone for 4 hours at a time already! It helps me a lot that she has a predictable schedule and I'm looking for that in my forever home. While I love playing with other dogs, I can get overwhelmed and overly excited still so I'm not a dog park dog. I prefer playing in smaller groups with guidance from my handlers so I can continue to develop good doggy manners. 

I even have a personal tutor, who comes to my house to help make sure I'm learning all the things I need to be healthy and happy as I grow. She is going to be the one helping me find my forever home and will be able to support whatever family I adopt too! If you have any questions or think you might like me to adopt you, please email Denise at denise.behave@gmail.com

HERCULES

He’s a muscley chonker of a sweet heart who in typical Velcro Pittie fashion, just wants to be with his person and cuddle. He was found on the streets of Downey by my partner’s brother, escaped euthanasia, and after two months of trying to work with a rescue (they’re all so inundated atm!) we’ve taken it into our own hands and found a temporary foster in Portland for him. He would do best in a home with someone who has a bit of experience with dogs and has the patience and time to work with him on early signs of separation anxiety. He could be the only dog, or go to a home with another dog of similar strength and an owner that once again, will take the time to integrate the dogs slowly and safely. He loves dogs, but is a big strong male and we want to make sure that it is a good fit for all.

BUSBY

Hi, do you like cuddles? I like cuddles. If you love a big old dog who thinks he’s a lap dog, then busby is your dog. Lots of energy for being a larger and older dog but loves early morning and late night walks. I’m a very strong dog so please know that. I have a lot of separation anxiety which is great for you if you work from home so we can cuddle all the time. I like to roll in the grass in a nice open yard but not at dog parks. I don’t like other large dogs especially in my yard. Small dogs that don’t growl are cool and so are cats. I LOVE KIDS MORE THAN WALKS!!

BLUE

Hello my name is BLUE I am an almost 3 year old border collie Aussie mix. I am neutered and no all my basic commands very well.i am crate trained even tho i dont like it.  I am also muzzle trained I am full of energy and love my people. Almost as much as my people love me that’s why it has taken my mom this long to write this she loves me so much she’s been lying to her self about being able to give me the life I deserve . I have a lot of energy and am very pray driven.  I love kids but I am very protective of my kids and I don’t like when there friends chase them or play nurf guns so I need a home that has older kids like 13 or adult only household . I also get a long with other dogs I’m used to but it takes a while for me to warm up a trust other dogs.  I would do best being the only dog. I can NOT LIVE WITH CATS . I have never hurt one but I chase them an hold them down with my paws . Some of my fav things to do are talking to you.. going on hikes and runs playing ball and cuddling up for movies I will sit in your lap like a person to get chest rubs. I have been working on my confidence for a while now and  have 3 other fur brothers but I need to be the only dog….. because I get jealous easy. If your looking for a funny protective cuddle best friend I may just be it I have corks but am very smart and with the right family could be the perfect dog .

THOR

Meet Thor!

Age: 11 months

Breed: Pit/lab mix

Need to rehome good boy. We have a young (about a year old) pit mix that needs a new home. He is a very good boy, good with kids and dogs (we don’t know about cats). He could probably jump a fence but never has, and he has always played very well with our old dog. He is on a grain-free diet , knows basic commands, and crate trained. Thor is still intact but has vaccines. 

He needs a home that will give him the attention and care he deserves, and that just isn’t our home. We have an infant and a toddler and just no room for this guy. I do recommend bigger kids being he is still a puppy, although he does do very well with small kids so far.

Thor seems to learn pretty quickly, and is eager to please. He does cry when you leave, but settles down after a few minutes. He is genuinely a good dog, we just cannot provide him with the attention that he needs. We have an old dog that had a mass removed and Thor is just too much puppy for the old boy now and has had to be kept separated, which just isn’t fair to him. 

We will send his crate and food dish along with him and we ask that you donate $50 to the shelter as the rehoming fee.

Blandon, Eve & Kekis

Three rescue dogs from Mexico!
The puppy from the San Diego shelter is only 3 months old and not spayed so she is not ready for adoption just yet.

It's been raining almost everyday since they got here but they have been doing very well despite the long journey and this rainy weather!

Blandon: 7 months old, neutered, black Lab mix, male. Very sweet and good with other dogs. Playful and love to run! 
Eva: 7 months old, spayed Cattle Dog mix, female. Very affectionate. Love to fetch.
Kekis: 1.5 year old, spayed tan female. Shy at first but warms up if given time.

They are learning not to jump on people and sit to get attention and treats.
They are all shots up to date but not microchipped. Adoption fee is $400.

Please contact Yuki Marsh by email at yukicanbereached@gmail.com

OTIS

We adopted our dog Otis with no known history from the Multnomah County shelter last fall and have provided him with a loving home. He was found by by a good samaritan wandering around Delta Park and was not chipped and had no identification.

He loves us so much, but he's become a bit too protective around our home and children. Otis needs a home without kids and without a lot of new people coming and going. Kids make him nervous and he has nipped - so we made the tough decision to find him a home that is more appropriate and safer for him.
He does love people, but just needs to be introduced in the right way. He's a wonderful, loving dog who will thrive in a calm home - we just have a lot of kids coming and going.
Otis is a playful and very affectionate young pup looking for a quiet, low-traffic home and a new person or family who is experienced with large breeds.

He's smart, obedient, and eager-to-please. He's had basic training and is eager for more. Otis has no health issues, and no naughty behavioral issues like chewing or barking. He is house trained. He loves to snuggle, go for walks, play tug-of-war, keep-away, fetch (working on it!) and any other games you want to teach him!

He's probably about 18 months old.

Teeka

6 years old
90 lbs
Husky

Her behavior - Happy, social, active, smart, easy to train, good communicator, not vocal, friendly with all people, loves all dogs, sweet to cats, does have resource guarding issues that we have been working with her on

Her favorite actives - walking, dog parks, hiking, running, skijoring, boating, trips in the car, anything as long as she is with you

Health - needs grain free food (common for huskies), broken hip at 2 years old (it bothers her sometime but doesn’t stop her from being active), up to date on vaccines

What she needs in a home - walks or plenty of outdoor space, someone at home with her (cat or dog) or not being left alone for long, no small children because she communicates with her mouth and paws which could hurt small children, no chickens unless they are very well protected

We have fostered her on and off for 1 year so we have gotten to know her and train her. Unfortunately, our dog doesn't like having another dog in the home so we can not keep Teeka. 

Feel free to give me a call or text at 503-367-2718

Sarsaparilla

Sarsaparilla (or Sassy, for short!) is a 65 pound spayed female, about 2 years old, who loves running, cuddling, and training. She’s delightfully food motivated and always excited for what’s next.

She’s lived with me (Kenny) and my other dog (Ladybird) ever since she came from MCAS as a stray rescue in January. Unfortunately, she is just too stressed about having to share her home with another dog. Despite mostly getting along fine, she has always been more anxious when the other dog is around and has bitten her.

She’s done well with apartment life! She loves long walks, whether on sidewalks or in the woods. She is more than happy to have a great time running around a field by herself, and is one of the most excited swimmers I’ve ever seen.
The DNA test says she’s an American Bully / Belgian Malinois mix! She acts like it, too – she’s always ready to hop on the couch and lay on me, chase the first squirrel she sees, and is quick to switch into training mode. She’s crate trained and house trained, sleeping in her crate without a problem and she trained herself to eat her meals in there!

We’re still working on her manners. She’s got some reactivity when it comes to strangers, mostly jumping up when people come over and pulling on the leash when she gets surprised by a runner. With care and attention, though, I know she has incredible potential! She needs a home that can give her a safe place to rest and relax, and a human to care for her that can help her to learn she’s got nothing to worry about.

Guiness

Guiness (Like the beer but not spelled the same)
Born May 15 2022
Pitbull Terrier
Tricolor Black/Tan/Cream.

Owner: Chad Gunter
Phone 725-232-5219 prefer text first:

Meet Guiness! He is 1 & 1/2 years old and he is the super sweetest boy ever. He is great with children and other dogs, never tested with cats.

He is:

  • Current on all vacs

  • crate trained

  • leash trained

  • house trained

Guess is a very good cuddle buddy he loves to be both outside and inside. He likes walks, but also could just as easily nap next to you for several hours and watch TV. He has been raised 5 year old since he was 3 and is very gentle and handles even the most irritating situations like a pro. He has spent most of his life around a Great Dane, so he is not food aggressive, but he is bone/treat aggressive if he thinks he has something special. Guiness loves things to chew on, so if you don't give him something, he might chew on something you don't want him to.

Please help me give him a new family. He deserves it.

MOLLY

Hello, 

Molly is a seven-year-old pit/lab mix. She is sweet, affectionate, smart, well-trained, and loves people. Her favorite things are cuddles, toys, and pup cups. She is very loved by her previous owners, me and my partner. However, Molly is sadly not able to live in our apartment anymore. Due to stress in the household, Molly became anxious and tore up the carpet and the landlord kicked her out. Molly does not do well with other animals and unfortunately, our roommates had other animals. Because of these issues and barriers, it makes it nearly impossible for us to keep her or rehome her. Every person we’ve reached out to isn’t able to take Molly on because of Molly’s aggression toward household pets, which most have. The trigger of her stress is mostly around food and water which she resource guards. With the right environment, Molly can be very successful. She is never aggressive toward people including children, making her a great family dog. 

We are very desperate to find Molly a place to stay whether that’s at a shelter, foster home, or a forever home. We have exhausted all options and don’t know what to do. Please consider taking our sweet girl who just wants a loving family she can call home. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Reach out by email or phone. My number is 971-940-9440.

We appreciate you,

Emmeline
