"AUGUSTUS" little SHAGGY (Poodle) mix "STUMPTOWn STRAYS"

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

"AUGUSTUS plus VIDEO " is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

neutered male 3 yrs 13 lbs Poodle mix

adoption fee $350 ok with kids, dogs, (cats unknown)

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Gentle, Loves, Playful, Quiet

Augustus, our 3 year old 13 pound poodley mix, has convinced himself that balls are the best toys on the planet. He also seems to think they are extremely rare. Not the kind of guy to squander a good thing, if Augustus finds a ball, he will squirrel it away in a special hiding place. He has a hard time imagining that in his forever home the toys will be as plentiful as the belly scratches.

Augustus was found stray and the shelter reached out to us for help. He had a condition called "cherry-eye". This means the tear gland in both of his eyes had prolapsed; without surgery, he would have chronic dry-eye, irritation and pain. We took Augustus in to fix this condition (and got rid of his testicles while we were at it). He just passed his recheck with flying colors.

Augustus loves people and is quite friendly, especially once he gets to know someone. Augustus spends much of his day happily flopping near people to see if a belly rub is forthcoming. It's easy to give in to his demands as Augustus is outrageously soft and sweet. Augustus likes dogs and is playful with them, but we have not seen him with cats. We can do an introduction if needed.

Potty trained and quiet, Augustus has been a great guest. Augustus has come a long way on his crate training too. He doesn't want to be apart from his person for long, so Augustus does better if crated in a room with another dog friend. He would prefer an adopter who is home often. Augustus loves walks and adventures. He needs some help with leash training as he pulls and barks at things that excite him, but Augustus is smart and wants to please.

Augustus is heartworm negative and is current on his flea and heartworm preventatives.

Think you can provide enough balls and belly rubs to keep Augustus happy?

"SCARLETT" UPDATE did well with cats young Belgian Shepherd mix "STUMPTOWn STRAYS"

UPDATE 12/5/25 STUMPTOWN FB post

Our sweet Scarlett, a 10 month old Belgian Malinois mix, is still on the look out for her forever home and we have a little update to share!

She recently had a playdate in a home with dogs and cats. No surprise, she got along with all of the dogs wonderfully. But most importantly, she did good with the cats too! We would call her respectfully avoidant. In fact, when one of the cats was brought up to her, she turned away and went to the opposite side of the room.

Slow introductions to cats are always important but if you’re a cat owner and Scarlett caught your eye before but you were hesitant, please apply for her!

Scarlett is smart and food motivated. She is eager to learn how to be a great dog and would really thrive doing training with you. She is playful and active and has even joined her foster family on several runs - so if you’re an active person and love running or hiking, she may just be your perfect match!

This awesome pup would do great in a home with another playful dog or one with access to other dogs that want to play. She likely would be fine with older kids. (She’s still learning not to jump up, so small kids are not recommended yet.)

You can learn more about Scarlett and her story on our website and the apply to adopt today! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/dogs/scarlett

"LIBRA" TINY YORKIE/CHIHUAHUA mix PUPPY "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

"LIBRA " is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS (Still listed on their website so possibly still available

LIBRA plus video on Stumptown Strays FB 12/1/25

Libra StumptownStrays website

female, 8 weeks, 1.5 lbs Breed: Yorkshire Terrier & Chihuahua Mix

adoption fee $600 Spayed/Neutered: No ...Spay-to be done when she is older- Included in Adoption Fee

ok in home with kids, dogs, cats

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Funny, Friendly, Playful, Loves

Libra, our 8 week old 1 and 1/2 pound chihuahua mix, may weigh 7 pounds someday. Her mom is a whopping 4 pounds so realistically Libra will go from the size of a Portland rat to the size of a New York rat. If you’ve ever known a tiny dog, you know they have just as much personality (if not more) than big dogs. And they certainly have much better outfits.

Libra’s mom was found stray and we were asked to take her in. Libra was the only puppy and her foster family has done their best to help Libra combat only-child syndrome. That said, Libra’s adopter needs to be prepared to socialize her. Sure, Libra’s brain is the size of a hazelnut, but that hazelnut is going to be a nightmare if someone doesn’t take the time to train it.

Libra has no skills at all. A total blank slate, Libra’s figured out that people are nice and that she likes playing and eating. She’s been good with cats, is social with other dogs and has been around kids. Otherwise, the whole world is confounding for Libra. She’s very curious and tries her best to be brave and wants to learn more.

All puppies need vaccines every 3 weeks until they are 16 weeks old. We’ve done the first two rounds of vaccines for Libra. She’s microchipped, dewormed and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. Libra’s adoption fee of $600 includes her spay surgery when she is 6 months old or at least 2 pounds.

We tease Libra a lot about her size. But she deserves a great home just as much as a reasonably *ahem* bigger sized dog. Is that yours? Apply to adopt on our website. https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application

"BOWSER" English Bulldog mix"STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

"BOWSER " is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

BOWSER

Neutered male, 3 yrs 32 lbs Bulldog mix

adoption fee $300 ok in home with kids, dogs, cats

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Funny, Friendly, Playful, Loves

If Bowser, our 32 pound, 3 year old bulldog mix, had one ambition it would be to be a professional soccer player. He dreams of crowds cheering "Bowser!" as he moves the ball down the field - and then pops the ball and shakes the crap out of it. We don't have the heart to tell Bowser this is not how soccer is played. So we'll focus on our goal of getting him a forever home instead.

Bowser was brought to a local ER after someone found him stray in the midst of having a seizure. A strange story for sure; no one at the ER or at the shelter observed any seizures. We were asked to help as epilepsy isn't something the shelter can manage. Fortunately, we haven't seen any seizures in the weeks that we've had Bowser either. It's possible he was exposed to something toxic. Regardless, Bowser should stay on seizure medications for at least 6 months before his adopter tries to wean him off. We will send plenty to get started.

Friendly doesn't begin to describe our Bowser. He loves everyone and is good with both dogs and cats. Bowser does have a *tiny* humping problem, but this is getting better since he's been neutered (his old owner chopped off his ears but left his testicles). For that reason, a patient dog friend and older kids would be recommended. Bowser is house-trained, affectionate and cuddly. He loves a walk and doesn't pull hard on the leash. Bowser gets excited to see other dogs and barks to say hello - his adopter will want to work on this.

In the house, Bowser has been perfecting his crate training. He can take a little bit to settle in the crate but sleeps in there every night. Bowser loves toys and chews but doesn't know his strength. Stuffies do not last long once Bowser gets ahold of them. Toys for strong chewers should be plentiful in Bowser's new home.

Bulldogs don't breathe well and Bowser is no exception. Bowser's adopter should enjoy the sounds of snoring.

Bowser is heartworm negative and current on his preventatives.

Ready to cheer on a pint-sized bulldog as he tries out for the Portland Timbers?
