Luna

Luna is our beautiful 3 year old pit bull. She is such a good girl, and she will thrive with someone that wants to take her on long walks or hikes, and wants to work on her training. She LOVES people and other dogs, and pays no attention to our cats, but she needs to go to a home with no small children. 

We love her so much and it breaks our heart to have to find her a new home, but she has so much anxiety since we had our baby it’s like she’s a different dog. 

Luna has done basic training, and knows her “place” command very well. She is also kennel trained! She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all vaccines.

Salem

Prince has been with us since he was 8 weeks old, and we love him, but we now have a 1 year-old, we both work full-time, and just can't give Prince what he needs. He's a working dog who needs either good exercise 4-5 days/week (great if he can run off-leash and he loves to swim) or to be outside for a good chunk each day. He's always been anxious, which mostly manifests in barking, but he's not aggressive and never has been. Basically, if he gets good exercise, he's a great dog (as most dogs are). He's fine around our 1 year-old (though he prefers his own space), and he's good with other dogs.

Ideal Home: We think owners who can get out and let him roam a bit (the more space the better). No cats, but another confident dog could be great. 

■ Must Have: 

● Time, energy, and space to get him exercise 

● No cats (not actually sure how he’d do, but he wants to chase them when we see them in the neighborhood) 

■ Would Be Good to Have: 

● Another dog (preferably not mid-sized) 

● The will to work on his anxiety (he gets triggered by certain things - like animals on TV - and with some work could probably deal with those triggers better) 

● No little kids (again, he’s not aggressive but will sort of just growl and walk away)

JETER

Name: Jeter Blue

Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier-Blue nose

Birthday: 8/1/2019

Neutered 

Jeter is truly the most loyal, sweet, loving, cuddly pit bull you’ll ever meet. He is not without issues, as we all are. In 2020, two of our dogs got in a very serious fight. Jeter went to a live in trainer for five weeks. He is VERY well behaved, but still reactive. He listens perfectly and does not misbehave with a strong authority figure who is able to use some physical discipline. He would do best in a home with no other animals, and no young children. We love him and it breaks our heart to re-home this sweet boy. With three dogs and a one year old child, it is not working for our family.

HOSS

Sweet Pit Bull Needs Good Home

This is Hoss.
Someone dumped him at our farm.  We are currently fostering him until that right person finds him.  He’s been here a while now, so we’ve gotten to know him pretty well.  We have done our due diligence and tried to find out if he was lost, but all our efforts came to naught.  He has no chip.  No one responded to our lost dog posts.  

First, he’s as sweet as sugar.  He loves people, he seems to have never met a stranger.  Typical Pit Bull, am I right?  He has a skosh of Rhodesian Ridgeback in him; that little tuft of backwards fur on his back.  His fur is a deep chocolate brown, a rich espresso.  He’s handsome as all get out, with a huge head and soulful eyes.  He’s pure muscle too.  Loves to run, loves to play.  A young fella, we guess him to be one or two.  

He gets along real well with other dogs, even backing down to little buggers biting his feet.  Big dogs, small dogs, he loves them all.
But…
He doesn’t do well with cats.  Or chickens.  As far as we can tell, that’s his only fault.

He’s good inside, so we feel pretty confident that he had an inside home at one point.  And in all the time we have been fostering him, he has never let out a bark.  Not one.  He needs to learn some manners, but he’s very smart.  He learned ‘sit’ in three tries, learned not to pull on a leash after one walk, unless there are other dogs along on the walk.  As said, he loves other dogs.  He learned ‘stay’ very quickly.  

We have given him his vaccinations, wormed him, and have him on schedule to be neutered soon.  

We can't keep him because of the cat and chicken issues.  We also have four dogs at present. 

We know you’re out there, lovely person/people who can give Hoss the home he deserves.  You will be blessed indeed to share your life with Hoss.  He would love a home where he can get a lot of physical activity.  He’s strong and agile, a good runner or hiking dog.  

Any inquiries can be directed to me at 509-968-6216.  Text or call.

MOLLY

Molly needs a new home!

Molly is in need of a loving home, where she will be able to spend the rest of her days. She has loved every stranger that she has met. She is a little hesitant towards strangers at first, but once she warms up she is super lovey and loves to cuddle. 

She is a 6.5 year old lab red nose pit mix. She is spayed and is up to date with her shots She is housebroken but not very leash trained, she likes to pull and take you for a walk. 

She loves children but has not ever been around cats. She loves car rides so she can stick her head out the window, playing in the snow and tanning her coat in the sun. Butt scratches are her favorite and she will give you endless amount of kisses in return. 

Molly knows all basic commands, sit, down, stay, shake, and stand if you put your arm out for her for her to grab onto you and she can even crawl for a treat! She is a pretty good listener most of the time except for when she is feeling anxious. 

She has a tail that can wag for days on days, due to this, she does have a couple of raw spots at the end of her tail that will bleed sometimes if she’s wagging her tail a lot. 

Her previous owners had her for 5.5 years and got a puppy a little over a year ago. Molly and the 1 year old lab got along just fine, they played together and she would even let him lick her ears. But on Monday she bit the him so the owners decided to get rid of her. This was the only time Molly showed serious aggression to another dog other than growling over toys. Since they weren’t able to find a place to re-home her, they scheduled an appointment to have her euthanized.

I took her so she wasn’t euthanized. I wish I was able to keep her but unfortunately due to my current living situation I am not able to. 

She is currently in Portland, Oregon and there is a rehoming fee. 

If Molly could be a great fit for your home, please contact Kaley at (503) 858-8427 or by email kaley.yakaitis@gmail.com. 

MISSY

Missy is a 3 year old, 55 lb (smaller than average), German Shepherd/Husky pup! She is the sweetest dog, very energetic! She loves people, loves to play with other dogs, loves the beach, snow, and car rides! She loves to play fetch and will follow you around curious at all times. She loves to be cuddled and petted and loves meeting new people! She is fully potty trained and crate trained. Has gone through a few training sessions, knows basic commands, could still use some work with recall, and even though she may be a little sassy or stubborn sometimes, she is definitely still trainable! She picks up new commands each week still. She does have some tummy issues here and there, but with proper food and probiotic treats, she doesn't have many issues.  I am having to give her a new home due to financial issues that came up unfortunately, but I just hope she can find a new home, hopefully with a big back yard! Thank you.

ROSCOE

Roscoe (aka Mr. Man) is around 1.5 years old and is excited about life! He is such a happy boy and loves meeting new people. He was found on the street and then surrendered by his owner who could not care for him. He will be neutered (appointment scheduled) and is up to date on all his vaccines. He is very playful and is working hard on learning his manners but is totally trainable and eager to learn. He is food motivated and also loves toys. Roscoe knows plenty of tricks like sit, down, stand, touch, spin, crawl, paw, high five, through your legs, sit up. He's very smart and picked all these up within a few days with me. He would likely do well with agility training. He loves enrichment games like find it, kongs, lickmats and he really loves chewing nylabones and antlers. We're working very hard on getting him leash trained (no pulling) and he's starting to get it but will need continued training in this area as he is easily overstimulated and distracted outside of the home. Roscoe can be rowdy but will also settle after he's had some exercise. He gets amped up real fast with toys and loves to run around the backyard shaking his favorite ladybug firehose toy. He is working on learning to drop and leave it and is starting to get the hang of playing fetch. Roscoe does the cutest pittie froggy legs and does an actual upward dog yoga pose stretch in the mornings. He's a very sweet boy who just wants to spread the love!

Roscoe's ideal home would be one that can provide boundaries, routine, and consistency. A quiet household is probably best as he is so easily excitable. Roscoe needs an active person/people who will be diligent with his training and provide ample opportunities for him to exercise and play. Due to his jumping, mouthing, and humping behaviors (no aggression, just high arousal with new people, toys, etc) and still working on impulse control, Roscoe would do best in a home without small children. He could likely do ok with older children who know some basic training and/or have experience around large dogs. He gets along with the dog he lives with now but it is unknown how he is with other dogs and cats. From what I can tell, he really wants to play with other dogs but hasn't had the opportunity because he's not yet neutered and just got vaccinated. He would love a home with a fenced yard for romping around.

Roscoe is so full of love and will make someone a very loyal companion if given the chance. He is wiggly, boisterous, sweet, and has the biggest heart. He just needs some consistency and someone to guide him. He is crate trained overnight and while you are away. He has no destructive behaviors in the home and is potty trained. Please reach out if you are interested in adopting this special, beastie boy :)

Inquiries please contact ktpdancer@hotmail.com or 815-343-1854

JANA

Jana, female, 6 years old

Jana is a loving and intelligent Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who is in need of a new home. Although she is very well trained, gentle, and affectionate with the people she knows, Jana has stranger anxiety that can turn towards aggression, which has led to some nips and one bite. She is muzzle trained, house trained, and is a wonderful walking and snuggling companion. We are hoping to find her a home with an experienced dog owner who will love and appreciate Jana's intelligence and companionship, and is able to provide her with the management and attention she needs. 

Although Jana has anxiety around strangers, she does not have separation anxiety, and is very respectful towards furniture and other household items. She can be acclimated to large dogs and cats, but we do not think she is an appropriate dog for families with small children or households without any secured outdoor space. 

Thank you so much for considering Jana as your next canine companion!

PENELOPE

Penelope is a sweet and affectionate 11 month, 48lbs American Pit Terrier mix. She loves people and loves to make friends wherever she goes! She is a cuddle bug and will lay down next to you for hours as long as you have a hand scratching her ears. She knows basic commands, is kennel trained and potty trained. While Penelope has lived successfully with other dogs (2 large female dogs in her previous home and a 40lb female dog in her current home) she is reactive/aggressive towards other unknown dogs and will need someone familiar with dog handling to get her used to city living. She loves to give her current sister ear cleanings and will plop right down on top of her for a cuddly nap, and would do best in a home with larger or no other dogs. Her temperament towards small dogs and cats is unknown. She's very intelligent and food motivated so she's engaged and eager during training.

She is spayed, micro chipped, up to date on all shots and will come with her leashes, collars, and kennel.

Squid

His name is Squid, he’s 5.5 months old, born 9/16/22. His mom (my dog Xena) is 62.5% Am. Staff, and 12.5% each of Chow, German Shepherd, and Scottish Deerhound, I was told his dad is 50% German Shepherd, and the rest is Boxer, Australian Shepherd, and Australian Cattle Dog. He is neutered, microchipped, rabies vaccinated and will receive his 2nd of 3 rounds of shots tomorrow morning (we recently had to restart due to the amount of time it took to get him placed in a forever home). He’s potty trained (with the occasional accident) and knows basic commands. He is a very sweet puppy. He loves to cuddle and much as he loves playing independently and with his mom and sister (that I’m keeping). He’s very smart and would do well with someone who can prioritize mental stimulation as much as physical exercise. He is a loyal and attentive puppy who will go wherever you go if the love and trust is there. He knows his commands but will still try to outsmart you because he thinks he’s the smartest dude on the planet. Lol. He doesn’t love bath time but he’ll tolerate it. And if ever he’s not fond of something, like getting his paws wiped when coming in for the rain/muddy backyard, he’ll slowly flop on his side in an attempt to get belly scratches instead. He loves peanut butter in Kongs or on a lick mat. And is not crate trained though I feel he’d be amenable if given the aforementioned lick mat/Kong.

AMOS

Meet Amos. To say that my husband and I love this puppy would be an understatement! Making the decision to rehome Amos may be the hardest decision we have ever made. We purchased him as a baby and have enjoyed every minute of our time with him.

Unfortunately, he is a young boy with a big personality and we have learned he is not suited for families with small children/pets and a chaotic lifestyle. Our children are giving us grandchildren and during a visit with my young niece, Amos became far too aggressive/reactive for us to feel safe. He has struggled with our cat and we have invested a lot of money into both positive behavior training as well as balanced training in home and away. He is excellent with dogs of all sizes and full-sized humans.

His trainer advises that Amos would be well suited with a family who has no young children and a fairly quiet home life. She has generously offered to give a few free training sessions to whoever adopts him and he has already completed a board and train session with her.

Amos has tons of energy, but he is also an excellent dog to just lay around at your feet. He would make an excellent work dog or running companion. We have had his genetic testing done and he is mostly Siberian Husky with a smidge of Pomeranian and an equal part pit. At one year old our vet says he is full grown and is 46 pounds. He is current on all vaccinations and has a wellness plan through Banfield. He was born in October of 2021. When he finds his new family, he will come with his crate, leash, ecollar, and all belongings. We are desperate to find him a new home where he will be loved and adored.

Beignet

This is Beignet (pronounced Ben-yay!) aka Benny. He was recently shorn down but the floofy pictures are what he normally looks like. Beignet is a 7 year old maltipoo who lives up to his name... He's the sweetest sugar-coated dough puff who lives on belly rubs and kisses. He wants all the love all the time so he would best as the only pet in a home where there are always people around. He's a wonderful lapdog with a big personality and true love for the game of fetch. He's perfectly house-trained and food motivated! Please contact Grace

WINNIE

Breed: Staffordshire Mixed Terrier
Color: Black - With White
Age: Young - About 2 Years
Size: Medium
Weight: 33.6 (working on getting to 35!)
Sex: Female

Good with dogs I know - Shots current - Spayed - Crate Trained

Hi! My name is Winnie and I'm a playful and energetic two-year-old staffy/mixed terrier pup who just wants to love her people and run and jump and play! I haven’t met a toy I don't love chewing on, and I am working really hard on my manners. I am nervous whenever new people come over or when meeting strangers (dogs and humans) on walks, but with training, patience, and practice, I have gotten a lot better! At the end of the day, nothing beats a good nap or snuggle session (or in the middle of the day works, too).

A note from Winnie's current people - We absolutely adore Winnie but our long-time pup is having a really hard time (sadly, Winnie loves him but the feeling is not mutual). She is goofy, sweet, bubbly, and smart! We’ve had success with distraction training, a gentle leader, and can manage Winnie easily on walks but she will need more and consistent training to be her best self.

Please let us know if you think you'd be a good fit - Winnie is so great and deserves to be the center of someone's world!

Rudy

Rudy is 8 months old with all of his shots, licensed, and chipped, he is not neutered. 

He is a loving, playful dog, needs lots of room to grow with a family and kids, plays and gets along with everyone and animals too. 

House trained. 

The only reason I'm trying to place him in a new home, is because he is a large breed dog that needs room to grow and play. 

I have a small house and yard. 

Not looking for money, but for you to donate to the shelter of your choice. 

Please do not contact me unless you are ready for a large breed dog 

Please if you are interested in this beautiful energetic loving guy.

RUSTY

Greetings,

Where to start with this doggo. Rusty came into our lives as a stray, we went out to dinner and when we returned he was on our doorstep. My girlfriend now wife is an animal lover so we had no choice but to take him in, even though the apartments we lived in at the time didn't allow pets, don't tell anyone. 

Shortly there after we purchased a house and had Ruaty in-tow. He had become the center of our world. We got him sorted with a vet, he is in great health, and we began the journey of trying to figure out how he became a stray. 

We never found anyone in our neighborhood who knew Rusty so his first year of life is a mystery. I can tell you he was scared of everything when we first got him. I was folding laundry and snapped a towel to straighten it prior to folding and he ran to the corner cowering and urinated. 

We did everything we knew how to let him know he was safe and eventually he became less scared and more playful. My wife is an avid runner so naturally Rusty became her running buddy anytime she went running and it was dark. He loves to play fetch, well a version where you throw the ball he gets and then tries to play keep away. His next favorite play is tug-a-war with his rope, he'll get his rope and let you know he wants to play. 

We've felt very blessed to have had Rusty in our lives for the past 3.5 years but my wife just gave birth to our first child and he's struggling. We took him to Paw and Hand K9 training but still his behavior related to the newborn is too risky for our liking. 

Rusty needs a loving home with an moderately experienced dog owner and he will provide protection and love that is second to none.

If you need any additional information about the pup we'd be happy to answer any questions.

STETSON

We are looking for a great home for our 2-3 year old male English setter/great pyrenees. He is a couch potato, very mellow, low energy and incredibly gentle with children and people. He loves being around people and likes nothing more than some couch cuddles. He lives with a small dachshund and is gentle and patient and he is incredibly tolerant and playful with her. We don't know what he is like with cats, but he has been around chickens off-leash and is great.

He would benefit from some consistent training and confidence building when meeting new large dogs on and off leash. His greeting is snippy and reactive with larger dogs, but with the right home and patience and time Stetson will flourish. Unfortunately we aren't that home for Stetson.

Please email me for more information or to set up a call. We love this boy so much and what the best for him.

Hero

Hero (three years old) is loving, SO smart and has a heart of gold. Hero has extensive training (basics as well as crate and "place" training), and walks well on leash. He especially loves hiking and snuggling. Hero currently lives with another dog, a cat, and a baby and he gets along great with everyone. Hero is known in the neighborhood for his good looks and charm.

Hero needs lots of physical/mental activity and focus or he will chew things. He will thrive with continued training and exercise. Before we had a child we worked diligently with him with great success.

Hero can have stranger danger. He warms up to people quickly but needs guidance. If someone at the park/walk makes him nervous, he barks. He has never tried to bite or shown aggression towards people. We continue to work on with him and he’s doing great.

Hero currently goes on regular training hikes and it would be great for Hero to stay involved. Hero is so sweet and will bring so much love to his forever home.

Rootbeer

DOB Aprox April 2020

42 lbs.

High energy companion dog that is incredibly loyal and loving. Rootbeer needs routine and structure. He loved to run and play. He has lived with a baby, and cats. He is friendly to dogs but most comfortable when off leash and with familiar humans. He has had leash training and may need additional in a new home. He loves food and will do anything for a treat. He knows sit, wait, down, off. He loves lap cuddles and snoozing by your feet. He currently takes meds for anxiety. With more structure and predictability, Rootbeer may thrive without med intervention. 

He’s a very “good boy” and needs a home where he can have a large or majority of attention on him. While he’s good with young children, due to his needs, he may be best suited for a home with older children to play with or no children. 

If interested in learning more about Roobeer please email huntergannon8@gmail.com

ROMEO

Hi! My names Romeo my dad sadly lost his job and has an unstable life style as a traveling freelancer. This lifestyle no longer fits what I, a retired show rottweiler, needs. It is simply too busy and unreliable and has caused me too much stress. Dad says I'll do best in quiet home where i can relax and chew on bones and toys, i dont really like car rides that go on for too long, unless its to the beach! I love the beach. I like dogs sometimes but i prefer play dates vs dog parks I get overwhelmed and my corrections go too far sometimes. I love kids but sometimes when they jump on me i get angry so i like teens or kids near 10. My family loves me and i know this breaks my heart but they say my happiness is more important. Please call 707-332-5068 if you are interested in being my furever home. I will be Oregon/Washington bound.

Joy

My name Joy says it all! I am full of love and affection and energy. I am such a sweetheart.
I am highly food motivated so when you get those lamb treats out I will race to my bed and sit so pretty that you can’t help but give me more than one! I do need exercise but at the same time if I need to be alone in the house for hours then I do fine, but I just might ask for more exercise when you get back.
I am about two years old but we don’t know my exact age as I was a rescue from the streets of California. I had a litter of pups in my foster home and then I was fixed.
My current home has no yard and only one human who works outside the home, and this is not really enough for me. I did better when my human was working from home, but alas that is no longer an option. I also don’t love living in a crowded inner city because if I am feeling anxious i sometimes bark at people - this usually just happens at the end of a long work week when I have pent up energy. I would do better in a less crowded neighborhood or better yet a rural area where there is room to roam and sniff.
I do fine with other dogs and spend every Thursday with a group of dogs and a trainer and we go on lots of adventures. I have boarded with several different trainers and been with their dogs and also did great. I spend about two days a week at doggie daycare and I am good and tired at the end of those days! I have had no issues being there but sometimes I need convincing to walk through the front door.
I don’t love loud noises or the unpredictability of small kids so I probably would do best in a home with only grownups.

Please contact Lisa Powell to set up a meeting with this bundle of Joy. lisachocolate@me.com or 971-278-0716
