"KEVIN" Pomeranian Lap Dog

ADOPTED!!!

I’m a very sweet boy that is most comfortable when I’m on your lap or carried in your arms. I know, it’s kinda silly behavior for a grown boy and even though I’m an adult I’m learning about all kinds of new things in my foster home. Seems I’d never walked on hard wood floors or heck, even gotten out for a walk. I am getting braver by the day as I learn about the big world. I’m currently living with a cat and can say I wouldn't mind sharing my home with the feline sort. I’ve enjoyed meeting a couple of nice dogs so they too may be a fit. I’m looking for a home that will continue my lap dog ways but also help me gain some confidence in the world beyond my bubble. I’m house trained, crate trained and said to be a little love bug. I am around 8 years old and weigh 7.4 lbs. Kevin is seeking a quiet adult home. To learn more about me please call 503-988-7387 ex 25242 and a staff member will get back to you to arrange a meeting!

"PRINCE" Royalty plus! Longhaired Chihuahua


ADOPTED!


Pleased to meet you ! I have Wonderful house manners and am a well behaved middle aged little dog that the shelter has listed as a longhair Chihuahua mix but a poll of others from teh groomer to foster Mom think I have Pomeranian in me more strongly. Bottom line is I don't know who my mother or father were. But I am a terrific friend and swell companion. I like car rides , and walks ( I walk at a nice sedate pace and don not require big blocks to satisfy my desire for outdoor time)So low maintenance in the exercise areas, and I need to be coaxed out in the rain ( yuck don't like to be wet or cold)I am already neutered , about 8 years old and weigh nearly 10 pounds.I was resigned, and passive about bath and blow dryer experience happy when it was all over.I need to be protected against flea's as I have a severe skin sensitivity when bitten but regular flea meds each month will take care of that. I am easy . Easy to walk , easy to feed, easy to be with. I have a nice mix of independence and close up cuddle buddy. I prefer to be in the same room as you to keep you in sight. I lost my other people and I don't want anyone else to slip away and leave me behind.I have been out and about with my foster family meeting new people and lots of dogs and some cats. I easy take along. I seem to like all the dogs I meet even if they don't think much of me , it does not hurt my feelings and I can give them space. Same with cats . If they don't like me I won't take it personally and I will respect their wishes for space. Best to walk me in a hardness I cough if you pull on a collar to strongly. I am Calm and I have to say I like that in a person also .They call me Prince at the shelter but the name means nothing to me I don't seem to recognize it so You will have to find my "real" name.I am healthy, have been vet checked through and through and with luck , LOVE and good diet will look to have another whole half a lifetime with you my new forever home. Please call my foster mom to talk about me at 503-262-7101







 

Where Are They Now? "FELICITY"




You all may remember "FELICITY" back in 2012, a hard luck gal who found herself at Multnomah County Animal Shelter, where she sat and waited and waited for her forever home.  She required a certain specific home, where she would have healthy outlets for her exuberant energy.  She found her forever home with mom Nancy, plus canine and feline brothers and sisters...and a couple chickens too!  Now FELICITY is a flyball rockstar super athlete with Stumptown Racers!


When Felicity isn't out winning tournaments, she's hangin' with her crew, swimming, cuddling, frolicking and playing in nature!

"SAMMI - I'm a whole new dog!

ADOPTED!

I went outside for new photos today, and I had sooooo much fun!!
I guess I just needed some time to adjust to the shelter environment..... Like you see here, At heart, I am a  lively fun guy!








Hello my name is Sammie, so nice to meet you. I am a victim of the market down turn. My family lost its home and they could not keep me. I am pretty shook up by this since they had me since I was a puppy but they told me to think positively and look to the future so here I am looking for a forever home.
 
 

I lived with children, cats & caged birds. I have a good history with other dogs although a slow introduction is always a good idea. My favorite toys are the squeaky kind and I have been described as a lap dog.
 
What do you think? Do I fit your bill? Please ask about me today. My description: I am a white, black and tan male Chihuahua and Terrier mix, around 5 1/2 years old and weigh about 9.8 lbs. Here's my MCAS weblink

 ADOPTED!!! 

 I am built strong and tough but I can be a big softie. I am a past the puppy stage and nearly the perfect age of around 3 years.





 


 
My best match for a home would be as the only pet or with a same sized or larger adult female dog. I am not a good match for smaller animals or cats.
