"MAXINE" sweetie young Pitbull - needs TLC - Tillamook County Animal Aid Rescue


 "Available for adoption - Tillamook County Animal Aid, Rescue!

"We absolutely LOVE her!"  BAPBR

Maxine's Tillamook County Animal Aid Rescue's petfinder link
 
Maxine is a young adult Pitty girl who came to us from a large city shelter. We took her on so that she could enter our O-YA DAWGS obedience training camp, which she is enjoying!

About 4 years old, our young Maxine is crazy for toys! She's very motivated to play play and play! She enjoys all types of toys and will carry her toy around and play Keep-a-way with you until you eventually give up. Maxine is "down for anything". She loves to go for walks, she loves to play hard, ride in the truck, go on adventures or just stay home and cuddle on the couch! As long as she's with someone who loves her, she's happy.

Maxine does well with cats and kids. However, with any young pitbull, we recommend children over the age of 8 and children who are taught to respect the boundaries of this breed and no rough-housing. We want her to be set up for success! She ignores cats appropriately but it doesn't hurt to use caution when introducing any new dog to a cat. They'll need to learn each other's boundaries.

Maxine would like to be your only dog. She does not show signs of dog aggression, but she does have some space concerns. She'd do much better in a home where she is your "baby" and gets all of your love and attention. Again, we want to find her a home where she'll succeed. Besides, Maxine is ENOUGH dog! She'll keep you plenty busy!

As stated earlier, Maxine has a bad case of Malassezia Dermatitis. That means she has a severe yeast infection that plagues her whole body from her gut to her skin. However, this is treatable and manageable with consistent care, and high-quality grain-free food. We are treating her with homeopathic remedies and she is on Vet prescribed medication. She'll need several baths a week and special skin care. Her hair will eventually grow back. However, none of these issues damper her spirit! She is as happy as can be. Just imagine how happy she'll be completely healed.

"ASPEN GRACE" young German Shepherd

ADOPTED!
 July 2018
Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

142231
I am Aspen Grace, a fun loving and energetic German Shepherd. Dogs like me love to get out and play but are not always sure what to do with our mouths. I can tend to get so excited I jump for the first thing I see, and the game is on! My ideal family will be active, patient and use positive training methods to help me become a more refined pup. I think working with a trainer would be a fun way for us to bond and learn together. I am eager to learn and can't wait to show you how smart I am! I will need to be the only animal in your home and if you have kids, they will need to be over the age of 8 years. Please come and meet me today!  1 yr 4 mths, 60lbs

Aspen is a favorite among the volunteers - She's just so much fun! She adores her tennis balls and rope toys. She will even splash around in the kiddie pool. Although she initially bounces like a kangaroo, after 15 minutes of playtime, she becomes much more mellow. Here's another photo of this gorgeous girl: http://tinypic.com/r/huk3lw/9

Lloyd Christmas, male husky mix

Mcas weblink
Hello! My name is Lloyd Christmas, I am a 2 year old German Shepherd mix. Like my character in Dumb and Dumber, I am a bit of a goofball. I don't know how to control my limbs at times, and run into things, but I take it with stride and enjoy living life! I am still learning, and would LOVE to go to a trainer with my new family to help me become a more well refined pup! I do love to jump up and use my mouth at times, but I promise I'm just playing! I think using positive reinforcement with me would be the best way to teach me how to behave! I am already learning here at the shelter, and the volunteers and staff are working with me on my manners and would love to have that carry over to my new home! I need to go to a home with kids 5 and up due to my jumpy and mouthiness. Do you have room in your home for a big goof like me!? Ask to meet me today!  2 yrs 75 lbs

Mcas weblink

Riccochet Rabbit a very active, curious bunny who is still a little shy of people. They probably have not had much human interaction in their past, but they are learning to associate humans with good things like food and pets. Be consistently gentle while he gets to know you and you'll be quickly rewarded!  1 yr 7.4lbs

Thunderberry  Mcas weblink 
155053
Thunderbunny has probably not been handled much in their past and is still learning that good things can happen when people pick them up. Like many animals they are happiest with all four feet firmly on the ground! They permit handling but are anxious when being held, sometimes they like to be in the middle of everything but may strongly object to being picked up. The more you practice gently picking them up, the easier it will be for both of you.  1 yr 8 lbs

Thimbleberry

Ms "CHARLIE" in foster - Black Lab mix



ADOPTED!!!!!
July 2018
Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
Charlie is in a MCAS Foster home

here's my Mcas weblink
131907

I am Charlie, a lab mix that's full of life. My greatest love is the outdoors. I would love to go on a long stroll with you or roll outside in the grass while you barbecue or garden. My foster parents have helped me heal over the last two months from a leg surgery. We'll have to take it easy for awhile until I make a full recovery. In the meantime, I've also been working to get slim and trim. I am a very strong girl and want to jump and play with new people I like. I'm seven. but still very playful. Sometimes I can be a bit protective of my things but as long as you let me do my thing we'll be fine. I would probably be best with kids over the age of 10 years and no other dogs in the home though. At home I'm pretty easy going. I'm kennel trained, potty trained and I know all my basic commands.

"17 lbs. lighter! Wow! Way to go MCAS foster family :)"  RLS

Charlie was much heavier when she came into the shelter - and has lost over lost over 17 lbs on a gentle weight loss program at her foster home. YAY!! Charlie's joints - and and especially her recent knee surgery - will benefit.

Phoebe,  female american shelter dog mix
155768
Mcas weblink
Hi, my name is Phoebe. I'm a 1-1/2 year old mixed breed, I weigh about 13lbs. I'm a shy girl who is looking for a quiet home with understanding people who will give me some time and space to get used to a new life. I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed right now, so I'm not really showing my true personality. Because I am not sure about being handled and picked up by strangers, if there are kids in my new home they should be at least 8 years old. The shelter says I just need a chance and will be a loyal and loving companion in the right home.  5 yrs 6 mths 12 lbs

===========
Phoebe was just spayed last week when I took a few quick pics in her kennel. She'll look much perkier when you meet her!

TIMBERRRRRRRR! My name is Lumber-Jaxx, a fun and energetic Pit Bull mix that is about 5 years old and I weigh 66lbs! Dogs like me love to get out and play but are not always sure what to do with our mouths. Sometimes I mistake people for trees, and I am learning to not use all my Lumber-Jaxx strength to jump up on you. My ideal family will be active, patient and use positive training methods to help me become a more refined pup. I think working with a trainer would be a fun way for us to bond and learn together. I am eager to learn and can't wait to show you how smart I am! Also, do you have any pancakes?! A Lumber-Jaxx needs to keep his energy up! If there are any children in the home, they need to be 8 years or older, due to some jumpy/mouthy behaviors. I'd love to be part of your family, ask to meet me today! 5 yrs 71 lbs

With consistent training and exercise by the Mcas volunteers, Jaxx is really starting to calm down, listen well and show you what a good dog he is!  Likes to fetch- briefly. Knows sit, down, stay and come. Jaxx is sociable and likes company, smart and loves training,  and is athletic and would love walks (probably running) and hikes. come visit!

Alice here! I'm a Mixed-breed lady searching for a special new home. I am a loving and intelligent girl but have made some bad choices in the past. While I love nothing more than to play and give kisses, I will need a special home that is adult-only and willing to work with my reactivity. I can be unsure about new people and will bark at them, I would love my new home to help me work on being confident and not fearful of strangers. I have some additional adoption requirements that you can talk to a staff member about. Come and meet me today and see if we're a match!
