"NICK"*IN FOSTER* *VOL FAVORITE!!* VERY TALL!! LAB/German Shep mix "OHS- PORTLAND"

Nick is a majestic big tall guy! Loves to self entertain with toys and does zoomies around the large fenced yard. He is on the OHS Running Team

 "NICK" AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at Oregon Humane Society  in PORTLAND

 ===================================

 Nick is a  TALL and  majestic dog

 

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • My foster parent says I should be renamed "Mr. Smiles" because I'm such a happy guy!
  • I am equal parts snuggler and adventure dog - be ready for both cuddles on the couch and active outings!
  • Pucker up! I like to give kisses.
  • I can't wait to show my new family how playful I am!
  • I can be a little nervous around new people, but once I trust you, you'll see just how affectionate I can be!
  • 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.
  • High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.

I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.

I'd like a home where my family is home often. I'm just really social and love spending time with people, I prefer to not be left alone for long periods.

I need to be the only pet. I'm not comfortable sharing my space or my stuff with other animals. I prefer to be the center of attention!

"ROMEO" (open Sunday)handsome HAWAIIAN FOXHOUND mix* *likes dogs* "NEWBERG ANIMAL SHELTER, Oregon - non-profit"

"Meet Romeo, our longest resident dog!
 Romeo is a 3.5 year old hound mix. He came to our shelter from @mauihumanesociety all the back in February, and has yet to be adopted. He’s a large dog with a lot of energy, but that only makes him that much more fun! He’s done fantastic with every dog he’s met, and loves getting all the attention. Romeo would do best going home to an active family that enjoys going on adventures and cuddling up together at the end of the day.

Romeo is sponsored by the Litke Family.

 Meet Romeo.
He’s part dog, part caffeinated rocket hailing all the way from Maui. Romeo doesn’t walk — he teleports, leaving only a blur and the faint sound of zoomies in his wake. He’s fueled by adventure, fetch marathons, and your inability to catch him. If you’ve ever wanted a best friend who doubles as your personal trainer, your hype man, and your four-legged comedian, Romeo is ready to sweep you off your feet — and then run laps around them.

If you are interested in meeting me, the shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday 11am – 6pm, Sunday 11am – 4pm.
