While he can be fearful in the shelter environment, he has wiggled his way into the hearts of staff and volunteers! It can take him some time to warm up to new people, but the reward is well worth the wait. Nelson would love a patient adopter who is ready to teach him that the world isn't a scary place. πŸ’› Once he is comfortable with you, he absolutely adores getting pets and will happily lean in for cuddles. πŸ›‹️πŸ₯° He is also a big fan of toys and will proudly present them to you with a goofy play bow! 🧸🎾 Because Nelson is still a young guy with a lot of life to live, his true, exuberant energy really shines once he feels safe! πŸš€πŸ’¨ He can get pretty enthusiastic and rowdy when he's having fun, so he is looking for a home with older kids (ages 12 and up) who can match his big personality. Nelson has also done well in doggy playgroups here at the shelter, showing off a rough-and-tumble play style. With proper, slow introductions, he may do great with a canine friend! πŸ•‍🦺🐾

"MR GOODBAR aka ALEX" *Foster home* CHIHUAHUA mix "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"


  Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance.

"MR GOODBAR aka ALEX"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

MG/ALEX adoption $250  Breed: Chihuahua Mix

8 yrs 13 lbs neutered male  Housetrained: Yes

ok with Dogs - Yes, Cats -Yes,  Kids- unknown (older)

adoption application

 

 
Mr Goodbar, our 8 year old 13 pound chihuahua-mix, is pretty proud of his DNA results. Yes, he’s nearly all chihuahua, but his test also indicates that Mr Goodbar is 9% Pomeranian. Since learning this, Mr Goodbar has been teasing his hair up. Do us a favor? Tell him he looks extra fluffy when you meet him.

Found stray, the county shelter asked us to help Mr Goodbar with his dental disease. We took him in, cleaned his teeth, and extracted several painful molars. Now healed (and neutered!), Mr Goodbar can get to the business of finding a home.
 
A real charmer, Mr Goodbar is an easy house guest. He is good in his crate, is 98% potty trained (he did mark an indoor plant a couple of times, but we can see why that’s confusing), and mostly quiet. Mr Goodbar loves other dogs and likes to meet them both on and off leash. He’s also been respectful of the cats that he’s met.
 
When we first met Mr Goodbar, he was terrified to walk on a leash. His foster family has taught him that outings are fun, and Mr Goodbar is really getting the hang of adventures. In the house, Mr Goodbar is easily entertained with squeaky toys. He’s learned to sit and he’ll spin around for attention when he’s excited. 
 
The one thing Mr Goodbar doesn’t like is being picked up suddenly. That’s understandable, but because of this sensitivity, we don’t recommend small kids in his new home. Mr Goodbar’s ideal adopter will be gentle and active. Mr Goodbar likes to explore and having a buddy to do that with would be great. Although initially a little insecure, Mr Goodbar is a very sweet and friendly guy once he realizes he’s safe. 
 
Mr Goodbar is heartworm negative and is current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. His adoption fee is $250.

"AUGUST & LINCOLN" BONDeD WEIMARANERS "OREGON WEIM RESCUE"

 

"AUGUST & LINCOLN " Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE

CURRENT LOCATION:  Salem, Oregon

Weimaraner neutered male,  5 yrs ADOPTION FEE: $500

BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:

CHILDREN:  12 +

CATS:  NO

DOGS:  Possibly

Meet August and Lincoln.  These are two 5 year old bonded brothers who will come as a dynamic duo.  Both are healthy, neutered, microchipped, current on all vaccinations, and AKC registered. They are available for adoption through no fault of their own. Due to a complicated and lengthy divorce, their family has made the difficult decision to find them the loving, stable home they deserve. 

August ("Auggie")

Auggie is a 94 pound gentle giant with a loyal heart and an easygoing personality. Affectionate, attentive, and incredibly devoted to his people, he's the kind of dog who wants nothing more than to be by your side. While he naturally gravitates toward women, he has a calm, balanced temperament and forms strong bonds with those he trusts.

At home, Auggie is a wonderful companion. He's fully housebroken, non-destructive, and not an excessive barker, though he'll happily let you know when visitors or the mail arrive. He sleeps quietly through the night and would love nothing more than to snuggle up in bed or curl up between your legs on the couch after a day of play.

Auggie enjoys the simple things in life: car rides, playing fetch (especially with his Chuckit!), chewing on a favorite bone, and relaxing with his family. With regular exercise and daily opportunities to run, he's perfectly content to spend the rest of the day as a couch potato.

This handsome boy is exceptionally well-trained. He completed professional training and knows an impressive list of commands, including Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, Give Space, Gentle, Bedtime, Outside, Up, All Done, Down, Off, Park, Walk, Car, Food, and Treat. He even rings a bell when he needs to go outside! Auggie has excellent recall, is well socialized, and has regularly enjoyed supervised off-leash time in appropriate settings.

Auggie also has an outstanding boarding history. He attends doggy camp and overnight boarding, where he consistently receives glowing report cards from staff. When boarding, he and Lincoln have always stayed together for comfort and support.

Auggie would thrive in a home that offers routine, companionship, and room to stretch his legs. A fenced yard or acreage would be ideal, as he loves his daily open-field runs. He would do best in a calmer household with older children or adults, especially with someone who works from home or is home much of the day.

 Lincoln ("Linc")

Lincoln, affectionately known as "Linc," weighs in at 81 pounds and is everything people love about a Weimaraner. Sweet, gentle, and incredibly devoted to his people, he's happiest when he's close to his family—especially if he's carrying his beloved blanket. (a true “Linus-nooker”) Linc loves to cuddle under the covers, tuck himself in with his blanket, and snuggle beside you after a day of adventure.

Linc is friendly, curious, and well-socialized. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, he's generally calm and confident rather than overly playful, and is often content to do his own thing. He's non-reactive, polite in social settings, and has an excellent track record at doggy daycare and boarding.

He's professionally trained, highly food-motivated, and knows a wide variety of commands. Linc is housebroken (bell trained), has outstanding recall, and is comfortable off leash in appropriate settings. The boys sleep quietly together and will happily share your bed or curl up with each other on dog beds.

Like most Weimaraners, Linc thrives with regular exercise. He'd much rather enjoy a 30-minute run than a long walk and would love a home with a securely fenced yard or acreage where he has room to stretch his legs and explore.

Linc would do best in a home with older children who can respect his space and routine. A calm household is ideal, and because of his prey drive, a cat-free home is recommended.

One of the most special parts of Linc's story is his bond with his brother, August. The two have grown up together, attend daycare together, board together, and sleep curled up side by side. They share a wonderful companionship and would love nothing more than to find a home together.

These boys come as a pair. If you're looking for a couple of faithful companions who are well-mannered, affectionate, and ready to become your best friend, these boys may be the perfect match.   Please complete an application if you are interested.
