"AVALANCHE" *GORGEOUS**SPECIAL* tall Grey/white Mystery mix (Lab/Border Collie??) "MCAS"

My guess is that Avalanche is terrified in the shelter!   I bet that he is a very special dog, and I would foster him if I were still volunteering there

 12/16/25 "I'm available for a pre-select adoption but I can't go home yet. Please come to the shelter to apply! Learn more about Pre-select animals." NOTE- it is important to check at the local animal shelters if you lose your pet as the stray hold time is only 3-6 days depending on if they have any id . Often the dog is listed as pre-select the same day it comes in as a stray 

"AVALANCHE" is Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

Meet Avalanche, a sensitive soul with a heart of gold who just needs a little time to melt! ❄️ While he can be a bit "kennel-shy" and hesitant with the leash at first, this clever boy quickly transforms into a playful, social butterfly once he feels safe. 🎾 He already knows "sit" and "shake," and while he's still learning to navigate the big, noisy world, he finds great comfort in gentle chin scritches and a soft, patient touch. 🐾 If you're looking for a loyal companion who will reward your patience with wagging tails and sweet companionship, Avalanche is ready to find his forever "basecamp" with you! 🏔️✨
