Hi! My name is Tomo! I am a beautiful Tosa Inu that is looking for a new family. I am the dog who is always prepared for a marathon - as long as it is a movie marathon. There is nothing I love more than a cozy, warm bed and some good company. We can discuss our favorite foods while you give me pets and attention. I promise to provide you with lots of laid-back love and friendship if you save me a spot on the couch - or at least on the floor next to you! I am looking for a family that can provide me with positive training techniques, as I am sensitive to handling. I also have quite a few medical issues that will need to be addressed with my my adopter's veterinarian. Please speak with your adoption counselor about my special needs. Kids 15 and up due to handling sensitivity. 5 yr 11 mths, 128 lbs

"Tomo's great bed was donated by a volunteer who loves him. We all love him and hope he finds someone to give him his forever home. He is so good at the shelter but really needs a loving place to call his own." 

 Tomo LOVES his big recently donated orthopedic bed. 
 He just looks grumpy:)
Thank you for your donations to help the MCAS shelter animals!

 I'm Judy - a sweet mixed breed lady searching for a new home to call my own! I have some specific criteria for my new home: MUST love to play! I am the most playful girl - especially with tennis balls or squeaky toys. And if you try to stop before I'm ready, I will "talk" to you until you play with me some more. I'm a goofy girl who is not afraid to speak my mind and tell you what I want - make sure you don't mind a talkative pup. I can be a bit shy about having my head handled so I need a home where any children are 5 years or older. Come and meet me today!  4 yrs old, med size

 Hello there! My name is Cher, I am a cute and cuddly Pomeranian mix that is 2 years old! I am a bit timid at first, but once I get warmed up I am super sweet, and the biggest cuddle bug. I came in with my friends Hall 163613, Oates 163612, and Sonny 163615. We do not have to go home together, but the shelter staff think it would be great if there was another dog in the home for me to build confidence with! I need to go home with kids 8 and older, ask to meet me today!

Hi there, my name is Moses, a 2 year old Pit Bull mix fella. I am a big, goofy guy that loves to play! I have lots of energy, I mean LOTS OF ENERGY. I'm the type of guy that doesn't take life too seriously and I am always on the move! I am still learning my manners, and that means sometimes I jump up when I get excited. The shelter staff and volunteers are working with me using positive reinforcement techniques to makes sure I learn to be the best pup I know I can be! My ideal family will be very active, patient and will continue my training in a positive way. Also, my home will have kids 8 years and older because I am a big boy and do jump up and use my mouth to play sometimes! Also....no cats in the home, they are just TOO fun to chase. Do you think you could provide me with my forever home? Ask to meet me today!  2 yrs 60 lbs

 My name is Boris and I am really happiest being where my people are. I would love nothing more than the curl up next to you or trot along with you on walks. If you are seeking a relaxed and easy-going friend to keep you company through your life, then I am the dog for you! Through thick and thin, I will be by your side. I can be fearful of new people and am asking that if you have kids in the home, that they be over the age of 5 years. Come on down and meet me today!

I'm Dalton, an energetic Dalmation fella searching for a new home. Dogs like me love to get out and play and be as athletic as possible! I can tend to get so excited I jump for the first thing I see and sometimes I use my mouth inappropriately. My ideal family will be active, patient and use positive training methods to help me become a more refined pup and practice my manners. I already know how to "sit" and "shake" but I think working with a trainer would be a fun way for us to bond and learn more together. I can be a little focused on my food so any children in my new home need to be 8 years or older and able to handle how physical I can be. I am eager to learn and can't wait to show you how smart I am!

Hi there! My name is Honey, and I am sure sweet like it! I am a 12 year old Chihuahua mix that is looking for a nice, calm home to retire in. I am such a sweet girl, and love being pet and cuddled. My tail is always moving, meaning I'm always happy! I need to go to a home with kids 12 and older, and I would do best in a more quiet home that I can relax and live out my golden years in! Do you think you can provide me with my forever home? Ask to meet me today!
12yrs 5 mths, 10 lbs 

Honey came in as a stray, owners didn't want her back. Kinda sad, but hey, "things are looking up Honey, you'll do better with a new home!"  She's already looking much better than when she came into the shelter.

"ROMEO" adoption update (8 years later!)

Sept 2018 Happy Adoption Update Romeo!

"Both my husband and I are Claymore's "Romeo" humans! We are the ones that adopted him 
(in Dec 2010) into his forever home. He is such a lover boy. If he could be in between one's subcutaneous fat layer and organs he would jump right in! I clearly remember the day when I stumbled upon one of the above pictures on Multnomah County Animal Shelter (MCAS) website. I immediately printed off and took it home to show my husband. Less than 2 weeks later we adopted him and the rest is history! He loves daily walks, chuck it, cuddling; being spooned in particular, taste testing what we cook in the kitchen, snuggling up with a pillow and blanket, Nyla bones, kongs, and laying in the sun; wherever we may be in the home or out and about. For 7.5 years he shared us with his older MCAS sibling Lily Bean. Two weeks ago she went to the Rainbow Bridge after a short battle with metastatic mast cell cancer. 

What a niche you have created in your work with photographing shelter dogs. We are forever grateful for your heart, skill, and passion."

All our best!
Angela

PhotoBlog note - Romeo's original post and photos  in 2010, and also his MCAS website Profile pic were taken by Patrick S,  photographer and a MCAS Volunteer until moving from the local area.

It is important that I have an outlet for my boundless energy, so let us get together and explore the outdoors! If you have kids in the home, they will need to be over the age of 5 years.

Are you a big fan of Chihuahuas, if so, I could be your best friend. I came to the shelter lost, scared, & very pregnant. My foster family has showered me & my babies with love but now it's time for me to find my forever family. I'm looking for a quiet family that will be patient with me while I settle in & learn the routine. I love to go for walks, being cuddled & held, and playing with other patient dogs. I'm a little unsure with people I don't know & I startle easily so a family with older respectful children would be best. I'm pretty good with going potty outside if you take me out regularly & watch my subtle cues. If you would like to watch videos of me at my foster family's house please go to Instagram: fortheloveoffosters

If you have questions for my foster mom please email: robrivas@comcast.net
I will be ready for adoption at the shelter starting Thursday 8/13/18

My name is Kodie. I would really like a person to trot alongside you on walks. If you are seeking a furry friend to keep you company through your life, then I am the dog for you! Through thick and thin, I will be by your side. There is nothing I love more than a cozy, warm bed and some good company. We can discuss our favorite foods while you give me pets and attention. I promise to provide you with lots of love and friendship if you save me a spot on the couch - or at least on the floor next to you! I am about 4 years old and weigh around 43lbs. If there are kids in my new home, they should be 15 & up because I am not confident about handling. In a new home I will most likely bond like glue with my new people.

I'm Achu, a beautiful, older Akita lady searching for a mellow new home with Akita experience! I am the dog who is always prepared for a marathon - as long as it is a movie marathon. There is nothing I love more than a cozy, warm bed and some good company - though I do love being outside and smelling all the interesting smells. As can be common for Akita's, I'm fairly aloof with people and prefer to not have lots of handling. I need a home that understands my boundaries and will take things slow with me. Also, any children in my new home need to be 15 years or older. I promise to provide you with lots of laid-back love and friendship if you save me a spot on the couch - or at least on the floor next to you!  10 yrs 89 lbs
