"WYNONNA" PUPPY CHI mix "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

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

"WYNONNA"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

WYNONNA adoption $500  Breed: Chihuahua mix, spayed female 9 weeks, 5 lbs and growing

Ok with Dogs: Yes..

 OK with Cats: Yes

OK with kids: Yes

adoption application

Personality: Funny, Playful, Friendly, Curious, Affectionate

 Wynonna, our 5 pound 9 week old chihuahua mix, is an only child. A Sagittarius only child. Admittedly, we don't know anything about astrology. Is a Sagittarius the most likely to bite your toes then crap on the rug? If so, Wynonna is so Sagittarius.

As Wynonna is brand spanking new, she currently doesn't know how to do anything except exactly what she wants to do. This includes: ineffective playful attacks, ineffective tiny howls, and ineffective attempts at jumping up on things. Like all puppies, Wynonna will need an adopter who wants to train and socialize her. Being an only child has not helped with her awkwardness so Wynonna's adopter will also need to help her make friends.

Wynonna is friendly, funny, and active. When not chewing on people, she loves to cuddle them. Wynonna is great with dogs and has been around kids. Although she's tiny, she is still working on mouthiness, so we don't recommend little kids in her home. Being a chihuahua, she is on the shaky/timid side and will need ongoing confidence support. We expect Wynonna to be around 15-20 pounds fully grown.

Wynonna is spayed, microchipped, and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. She has had her first vaccines and will need vaccines every 3 weeks until she's 16 weeks old. Her adopter should make those veterinary appointments right away. All puppies would benefit from classes, even (and maybe especially) the little ones. So Wynonna's adopter should get those sorted out too. Wynonna's adoption fee is $500.

If you think 5 pounds is a manageable size and shouldn't be too much work, please do not apply. If, however, you realize all the work you put into a 5 pound puppy will pay off with a perfect 15 pound adult, apply to adopt! 

"NAOMI" polite little CHIHUAHUA mix "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

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

"NAOMI"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

NAOMI adoption $400  Breed: Chihuahua mix, spayed female 2 yrs 13 lbs

Ok with Dogs: Yes..

 OK with Cats: Unknown...

OK with kids: Yes

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Gentle, Loves

Naomi, our 13 pound 2 year old chihuahua mix, does not have a good poker face. Blessed with big, watery eyes and expressive eyebrows, it's easy to tell that Naomi is usually thinking "oh geez". We understand being worried. Naomi shouldn't be anxious about not getting adopted, though. We'll make sure she does!

Found stray and pregnant, we took in Naomi so she could have a safe place to raise her puppy. Now that her puppy is old enough and Naomi is recovered from her spay, it's time to find her a home.

Naomi has been a perfect guest. She is quiet, polite, potty and crate trained. Naomi needs some leash training: she tends to get a little overwhelmed and can be barky when she sees other dogs. A lower traffic neighborhood would be best. At home, however, Naomi is great with other dogs. Although we have not seen her with cats, due to Naomi's soft nature, we suspect she would be fine.

On the shy and timid side, once Naomi warms up, she is really sweet and cuddly. She tends to warm up much more easily to women. Naomi is gentle and playful. We bet she'd love having dog friends in her life. Although she's friendly and not aggressive, because she's easily spooked, we don't recommend Naomi live with little kids.

Naomi is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. Her adoption fee is $400.

Want to be the one to make sure Naomi doesn't really have anything to worry about?

"BARBARA" **Blue-eyed* *PETITE**SHEPHerD/Husky mix **Ok with CATS, kids, DOGS** "StuMptOWN STRAYS

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

"BARBARA"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

BARBARA adoption $250  Breed:Siberian Husky & Shepherd Mix    spayed female 3 yr 46 lb

ok with Dogs, OK with Cats. ok with kids, housetrained

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Dignified, Friendly, Independent

Barbara, our 3 year old 46 pound husky (shepherd)mix, doesn't want you to be intimidated by her Paul Hollywood eyes. Sure, they are so blue that you immediately want to check your pastry for a soggy bottom, but Barbara isn't here to judge you. She just wants to meet your cat and cuddle up with you on the couch.

Barbara was found stray with a shoelace imbedded tightly around her neck. She needed time to heal from that deep wound so we happily took her in. Now recovered, Barbara is finally ready for adoption.

If given a choice, Barbara's best friends would be cats. She often tries to convince them to play; if uninterested, Barbara will gaze lovingly at them instead. Barbara is tolerant of dogs but they aren't as exciting to her as cats. She would do well with another laid back dog who mostly ignored her.

 Barbara is house trained and respectful. She hates the crate, but can be trusted to be left out for a short amount of time. Barbara struggles with being alone for more than a few hours though. Although she typically only destroys stuffies, she'll start to get vocal if she's lonely and it takes her a while to come down from that anxiety. We put Barbara on fluoxetine (Prozac) to help with her separation anxiety. We recommend she stay on this for at least 6 months after adoption.

Barbara would thrive with an active family. She loves walks and hikes and adventures. Barbara is also very smart and wants to please her people. Like most dogs, Barbara is happiest with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. After trekking, Barbara is good at relaxing on a bar patio with friends or on the couch to watch a movie. Barbara has done very well with older kids. She does guard her food from other animals. Although we've not seen Barbara guard food from people, it is for this reason we don't recommend small kids in her home.

Barbara is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. Her adoption fee is $250.

Does your cat not mind being lovingly gazed at? Are you confident enough with your baking skills to not be intimidated by a Paul Hollywood stare?

 

"FRANK"*Gentle* little MANCHESTER TERRIER "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

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

"FRANK"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

FRANK plus video adoption $350  Breed: Manchester Terrier, neutered male 2 yrs 20 lbs

Ok with Dogs: Yes.. OK with Cats: Unknown...

OK with kids: Unknown

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Athletic, Dignified, Friendly, Gentle, Loves, Smart

 

Frank, our 2 year old 20 pound Manchester Terrier, could be a Tetris champion. He manages to perfectly fit into any human created nook. On the couch with folded legs? Frank's behind your knees. Arm out to the side? Frank's in your armpit. Curled up like a shrimp? Frank is happily curled up like a smaller shrimp by your stomach. Much like Tetris, the goal here is to find Frank his perfect fit.

 

Found stray, Frank was brought to the local shelter. He only had some minor scrapes, but the shelter staff was most concerned about Frank's heart. They heard a loud murmur. We stepped in to help and, thanks to @1510Foundation for covering his care in it's entirety, we were able to get Frank into the cardiologist.

Frank was diagnosed with congenital heart abnormalities known as subvalvular aortic stenosis and mitral valve dysplasia. Sadly, these are not reversible conditions, but they can be managed. The @1510Foundation has sponsored Frank's future cardiology appointments and heart medications, so these will be of no charge to his adopter. Some dogs with Frank's condition can live long happy lives where some die of heart disease young. For this reason, monitoring Frank's heart will be important.

At home, Frank is outrageously friendly. He plays gently, even while wrestling with his housemates. Frank loves walks and is happy to meet any dog: big, small, off leash, on leash, Frank doesn't mind! We have not seen Frank with cats or small kids. Frank is smart, stoic, contemplative and eager to please. He is very nearly house trained but still has the occasional accident. Despite this, his foster family trusts Frank to be left alone for up to 4-5 hours at a time.

Frank is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. His adoption fee is $350.

Hank's Story

Meet Hank!
Hank is an 8-year-old, 50-pound shepherd mix with a heart as big as his sweet, soulful eyes. He's the kind of dog who settles into your life like he's always belonged there. With his gentle nature and easygoing personality, Hank has that wonderful balance of still enjoying life's little adventures while also appreciating the comfort of a cozy couch and good company. 

 

Hank is a silly, goofy boy in the best way. He has a playful streak that pops out in the most endearing moments -- a happy bounce when it's time for a walk, a wiggly greeting when you come home, or a soft nudge of his nose when he's hoping for a little extra attention. He loves being around his people and has a natural way of making everyone feel special. His ears give him a touch of extra character, especially when they perk up at the sound of his favorite word.

He's wonderfully social and would make an easy addition to many homes. Hank is dog-friendly and enjoys the company of other pups. He has previously lived with cats and seems mostly indifferent to them, happy to coexist without much fuss. Kids are another one of his favorites -- he's gentle, patient, and seems to understand that little humans deserve extra kindness.

At eight years old, Hank is past the chaotic puppy stage and has matured into a steady, loving companion. He still has plenty of life and love to give, but he also knows how to relax and simply enjoy being by your side. Whether it's a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, some backyard time, or a quiet evening in, Hank is happiest when he's included.

If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate dog with a playful spirit and a calm heart, Hank might just be your perfect match. He's ready to find a home where he can share his sweetness, his goofy charm, and his unwavering devotion for years to come. Hank is ready to show you how wonderful it is to adopt a senior pup!

 Hank's adoption fee is $250. He will be microchipped, neutered, and vaccinated before adoption. Please email us at ccacadoptions@gmail.com or call 503.366.4614 if Hank could be your new buddy.

"Our sweet boy, Slim Shady is still looking for his forever home! He needs someone who is okay with a cuddly boy, as he will snuggle you into oblivion! He's got some energy but would also be very content curled up on the couch with his favorite person. He is very eager to please and super smart! Almost as smart as he is adorable! Slim Shady can't be around cats and can be a bit too energetic for young children. But he would love a puppy playmate!

If you think you could be the perfect home for Slim Shady, please reach out! Our fingers are crossed for him to find a home for the holidays! Please share his sweet face. ccacadoptions@gmail.com" FB 12/16/25

 

 Meet the one and only, Slim Shady, the sweet heartthrob who's ready to steal your heart (and your personal space!) This handsome pitty is the ultimate Velcro dog - if you move, he moves. If you sit down, he's in your lap. If you need kisses... well, he's already one step ahead of you. Slim Shady is a total people pleaser who thrives on love and attention. He's super smart and so eager to learn new things - especially if there are treats involved! His goofy energy and loving personality make him a joy to be around. 

 

 Because Slim Shady is such an excitable boy, he'd do best in a home without cats, livestock, other small animals, or small children. He's just a little too enthusiastic about new friends! A home with adults or older teens who can match his energy (and don't mind being covered in kisses) would be perfect. As well as another dog to help him burn off some energy. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will always be by your side, shower you with affection, and make you laugh every single day - Slim Shady is your guy. 

To meet your professional kisser and cuddle expert Slim Shady, please contact Columbia County Animal control at ccacadoptions@ gmail.com or call 503.366.4614. Slim Shady's adoption fee is $250 to help cover his neuter, vaccinations, and microchip.
