"DASHER" aka "DASH" *Scared in shelter* cute Grey Pitmix "MCAS"

UPDATE  2/7/26 "DASH" ADOPTED!! OHS-Portland 

What my friends at OHS say about me:

• I have been working with the Behavior team at OHS and I'm looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. Click the "meet me" button to start the process and schedule an appointment.
• To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
• I love to learn! You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things.
• Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
• I may be shy at first, but once we get to know each other I will shower you with love!
• High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
• I am the prefect blend between active and calm.
• I can't wait to show my new family how playful I am!

The type of home I'm looking for:

• I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
• I may do best in a home where there is another dog to help boost my confidence and for me to play with!
• I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
• I need to go to a home without small children as loud noises and fast movements can frighten me.

Meet Dasher, a 9-month-old Pitbull who is a total "big baby" at heart. Despite his growing size, he is a sensitive soul who thrives on affection and just wants to be near his people. Dasher is still learning how to navigate the big world and will need a patient and understanding family to help him through his puppy milestones. He is currently working on his confidence and will require continued socialization and leash training to help him become a polished gentleman on walks. Because he can be a bit shy or overwhelmed in new situations, he needs a home that will give him the time and encouragement he needs to blossom. If you have a soft spot for a sweet, oversized lap dog, Dasher is ready to dash into your heart!
