Luna had a "Dog Day Out" recently with a volunteer who loves her.  Btw - she is an easy size, only 41 lbs.

"Meet sweet Luna! Luna is a vibrant, happy, fun girl who loves everyone! Luna is very bright and active. She loves to play fetch and will drop the ball at your feet for another toss. She is extremely gentle and after she gets the wiggles out, she likes to be a cuddly lap dog. She loves car rides and has very good manners in the car. She does very well on walks and loves other dogs and children. If you’re looking for a gentle addition to your family or for a devoted companion to share adventures with, Luna is your girl."  Mcas volunteer

 ======

MCAS needs to spay/neuter all dogs before adoption (and ensure that the dogs are given adequate care and recovery time!

Adopting intact dogs to new homes is grossly irresponsible in our current homeless dog crisis. EVEN POOR counties with a much smaller budget for animal control are ensuring that  the dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Management is failing the animals and the community.

"DOGUE DE BORDEAUX" 3 male "OHS- PORTLAND"

Please read the dogs' profile, and if you are interested, fill out the adoption questionnaire "MEET ME"on their website page

"DOGUE DE BORDEAUX"AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at Oregon Humane Society  in Portland

Available 5/23/2025   Animal ID # 330052 adoption fee $ 400

"Looks like" Dogue De Bordeaux  

 

What our friends at OHS say about us:

  • We've been hanging out with our friends at OHS for about five months now. We came from a special rescue case, where we didn't know much about life or how to be companion dogs. The amazing staff and volunteers at OHS have spent countless hours with us; teaching us how to wear collars, how to walk on a leash, what it means to sleep in a cozy bed and what it means to be a human's best friend.
  • Our DNA predisposes us to being incredibly loyal to one or two people at best. This means we can sometimes come across as intimidating to people we don't know. We need a human that is able and willing to keep us safe, continue to show us the ropes and set clear expectations and boundaries so we can be our best selves.
  • Click here to learn more about our breed.

The type of home we each require:

  • I need to go to an adult only home.
  • I need a home without cats or other small animals.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • I must go to a home with a fenced in yard.
  • To learn more about our specific needs, please read our What to Expect handout.

Our adoption process:

  • Because this group of dogs requires such specific and unique homes, we have created a more in-depth adoption questionnaire, which can be accessed via the "Meet Me" button at the top of the profile.
  • Once your questionnaire is reviewed, you will receive an email with a link to schedule a phone consultation.
  • After your phone consultation, if both parties feel the dog is a good match for your lifestyle, your adoption counselor will schedule an in-person meet and greet at the shelter. You will meet the dog with their volunteer and staff handlers. If you fall in love, we'll send you home together the very same day!
