"PETE" lovable *Tri-pod* Pittie PUPPY "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

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

Pete not yet listed on the adoption website

neutered male 5 mths 21 lbs  

adoption fee $400 

adoption application 

We fell for Pete, our 21 pound 5 month old pitty, as soon as we saw his photo. We are suckers for a single eye spot, sure, but throw in an ear spot? We’re putty in Pete’s paws. Pete is as sweet as he is adorable and we’re so happy we get to find him a family.
 
Pete was found injured and taken to the shelter where he was diagnosed with two broken legs. Fortunately, his back leg was healing fine. However, Pete’s front leg could not be saved. Thanks to the 15/10 Foundation for covering his care in it’s entirety, we were able to get Pete the surgery he needed. He is recovered from his amputation; you wouldn’t know Pete’s only got 3 legs when you see him run around. Like all of our tripods, Pete can do all the same things 4 legged dogs can do.
Crate trained (with some periodic complaints) and nearly potty trained, Pete is well on his way to being a well-behaved adult. He is incredibly friendly and is happy to meet (and make out with) any human. Pete is great on a leash, loves the car, and excels at being out and about. When not playing, Pete is a fan of cuddling and is affectionate. Pete loves his big dog roommate and is mostly respectful of his cat roommate. We think, with proper introductions, Pete could live with anyone. 
We expect Pete to be about 45-55 pounds fully grown. Although he’s acing his beginning training with us, his adopter should plan on taking Pete to puppy classes. Thanks to the 15/10 Foundation, Pete’s first training class will be paid for! No one should adopt a puppy if they don’t plan to train it; now there’s no reason not to sign up.
Pete is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. His adoption fee is $400.
 
Ideally, Pete’s adopter owns their own home or has a letter from the landlord stating that Pitbulls are allowed on the lease.
Pete is still going to be adorable all grown up. Want to be the one to help him get there? Apply to adopt on our website. https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application 💙🐾

🐾 Meet the magnificent Reese, a giant-sized, handsome chocolate Lab mix who's ready to fill your home (and yard!) with love. This gentle hulk arrived as a stray, making him a bit of a wonderful mystery we're still solving! While he starts off cautious and may take a moment to interview new people, patience is highly rewarded: once his guard is down, you'll unlock a lifetime supply of goofy grins, happy wiggles, and pure, doggy joy. 
 
Reese's only request is a spacious, fenced yard fit for a king and a forever family ready to earn his giant heart. Think you're up for the challenge? Ask to meet this big marshmallow! 👑🏡😊

"STUMPTOWN STRAYS" Nov 11!!! Chance to win $500 gift card to Portland Nursery

 GIVE GUIDE 2025

Give Guide Stumptown Strays 

Stumptown FB 11/11/25 

BIG GIVE DAY!
Some of the saddest cases we take in deal with neglect. We look at our own pups, joyfully enjoying the sniffs of crisp fall hike or digging in their favorite blanket to make sure it’s arranged just so for the perfect snooze and our hearts break for the dogs we meet here at Stumptown Strays that aren’t living that type of life.
 
Like GG. This 12 year old Lhasa came to us in terrible shape, very obviously neglected for years. She was found dumped in Portland, bald and covered in sores. GG also had horrific eye, ear, and skin infections. She was in a lot of pain and needed help.
 
 In our exam, we diagnosed GG with KCS - a condition where the eyes don’t produce enough tears and cause a lot of problems. Using an eye ointment we were able to improve her right eye, but at the point she was at, the left could not be saved and had to be removed. We also discovered that GG had allergies causing her to chew herself raw but on a limited ingredient diet and medication, they are manageable. Finally comfortable in her own skin (literally,) GG was able to decompress in her cozy foster home and heal. Her fur has grown back and she has found her own forever family who loves her and gives her the life she’s always deserved.
 
 In the end, GG was lucky that she was found and taken to the county shelter who reached out to us. And we were lucky we were able to say yes to her! Dogs that looked like GG did simply don’t get adopted from shelters and most shelters can’t provide the type of extensive medical care that GG needed - but that’s why we exist!
 
Every donation during Give!Guide allows us to continue to say yes to pups like GG in 2026. And as a fun bonus, everyone who donates at least $10 during today’s Big Garden Day has a chance to win a $500 gift card to Portland Nursery! (Second bonus? If you’re under 35 you have two chances to win!)
Couldn’t a prize like that help you build out the coolest environment for your pets? Check out Give!Guide to donate here: https://giveguide.org/nonprofits/stumptown-strays
Or share this post with your networks to spread the word about our work. We truly couldn’t do it without your support. 💙🐾

Meet The Best {aka ODIN}, a handsome American Shelter Dog ready to find his perfect, patient forever home. The Best is looking for a home where any two-legged friends are at least 8 years old. He loves his people and is eager to bond! He may prefer to be your one and only canine companion. He may do fine with a single, mellow dog in the home after a very slow and proper introduction, but he will be happiest in a home where he is not sharing his space with multiple dogs or a very active, exuberant dog. ODIN can pull hard on the leash, so a harness is strongly recommended for safe and comfortable walks while he continues his training. If you are looking for a loyal companion and have a calm, dog-savvy home environment, come meet ODIN today!
