What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I love to be the center of attention. All eyes and pets on me, please!
  • I may do best with an owner who has had experience owning or caring for shy and fearful dogs.
  • I may be shy at first, but once we get to know each other I will shower you with love!
  • I have been known to shower my favorite people with love.
  • I have a medical condition that requires long term management.
  • Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!
  • Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.

adoption $200  

adoption application

Platino, our 15 pound nearly 2 year old Italian Greyhound mix, would like to be your dog’s new best friend. Turned in to the shelter with a badly deformed leg, Platino had a rough beginning to life and he really needs a dog to feel at home. Don’t we all?
 We took Platino in after the shelter reached out for help. Unfortunately, his leg was so twisted Platino had never used it and it was causing him chronic pain. We made the decision to amputate and Platino’s doing so much better as a tripod. Although stairs are tricky, Platino otherwise gets around great.
 
 
Sadly, Platino was not socialized well in his previous life, so new experiences can be hard for him. An ideal adopter will continue to help Platino build important life skills. Platino, as we said, would do best in a home with a friendly emotional support dog who can model appropriate behaviors. Once Platino bonds to someone, he bonds very deeply, and is incredibly sweet and cuddly. In fact, Platino would crawl inside of his person if he could. When he’s feeling secure, he’s also very playful.
 
 
In the house, Platino is doing great with his potty training and has had very few accidents. He likes having his emotional support dog accompany him into the yard when it’s time to go. Although he’s fairly quiet when his favorite person leaves, Platino vocalizes with excitement when they return. For this reason, we don’t recommend a thin walled apartment. Platino may prefer a home without kids or cats.
 
 Out in the world, Platino spooks easily. Although he’s had successful outings, he still hates the car and needs to be securely attached to travel. Platino must only go out on a leash or have supervision in a very secured yard; sudden noises make him want to run. To help with his anxiety, we’ve started Platino on Prozac. We recommend he stay on this for at least a few months while he adjusts to his new home (it is inexpensive). 
 
 
Platino is heartworm negative and current on flea medication. His adoption fee is $200.
Giving a deserving dog like Platino a place to feel safe is a perfect way for you and your dog to start the New Year. Agree? Apply to adopt on our website. https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application 💙🐾

Hey there, I'm Cinco, a handsome and sizable dog tipping the scales at almost 95 pounds! I'm hoping to find a wonderful family who can help me navigate this next chapter of my life. I'm a strong and sturdy fella, and I'll admit I could use a little assistance with my leash manners. With some patience and positive guidance, I'm confident I can learn to walk like a pro by your side! While I may be a tad wary of new people and situations at first, I'm eager to build trust and form lasting bonds with a loving family. Given the chance, I'll show you just how loyal and devoted I can be. The shelter recommends no cats in my new home unless they are confident around dogs, as I prefer to chase them. And due to my large size and exuberance, children in my new home should be 8-years and up. If you're searching for a big-hearted companion to join your family, look no further! Let's meet and see if we're a perfect match. I'm ready to embark on new adventures and create unforgettable memories with you. Let's make it happen!

"GOLDEN RETRIEVER MIX PUPPIES" STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

"GOLDEN RETRIEVER MIX PUPPIES"dd Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

GOLDEN MIX PUPPIES \on Facebook 

adoption $400 

adoption application

Breed: Golden Retriever mix 

 

STUMPTOWN STRAYS FB Post 1/4/26  "You may have seen some recent sneak peeks for our Bridges litter and probably thought “woah, those are some CUTE puppies but I wish I knew what kind of puppies they were…”
Wonder no more because the results are in! The pups are mainly Golden Retriever with a total of 9 breeds detected by their DNA tests. (10 if you consider ‘Very Good Dog’ to be a part of the mix, as we do.)
We took in these 8 orphaned pups at 3 weeks old when their mom was hit by a car. They’ve needed a lot of care to help them grow up safely without a mom, which we were happy to provide. They’re all just about old enough to venture out into the world and find their own forever homes - if you’ve been hoping to bring a puppy into your family for 2026, this might just be your “golden” opportunity!
Fremont (beauty shot featured), Sellwood, Steel, Morrison, Broadway, Cathedral, and Burnside are all boys and Hawthorne is the lone girl of the group! Most of the pups are black, with some black/tan mixes, and Burnside being the only mainly tan pup.
We expect them to be 55-65 pounds when fully grown, but as always that’s an educated guess. They will all be neutered/spayed and up to date on their vaccines at their time of adoption later this week. Each pup’s adoption fee is $400.
Mixed pups are our favorite breed of dog. If you feel the same way we do, you can apply now to adopt one of these sweethearts." https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application
