"SCOOTER" fun Jack Russell Terrier mix

ADOPTED!
July 30, 2016
 
Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink 
animal id # 579175

Hey everybody! My name is Scooter and I'm looking for an active family! I am high speed and will need a family that can give me daily exercise and mental enrichment. My personality would not be ideal for apartment life, but rather some space for me to run and explore outside the city. I would probably be best suited for a single-animal home?  Us Terriers really like to chase little critters and have a good time. If you think we could make a great match, come and meet me today! I am about 3 years old and weigh 9 pounds.

"MADDY" goofy teenager fawn colored Pitmix

ADOPTED!
July 30, 2016
 
Available for adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!

animal # 573178

Wahoo I'm Maddy! I'm a tan and white spayed Pitbull, that is 1 year, 8 months old. I weigh about 55lbs. I'm a goofy teenager who the shelter recommends to live in a household with sturdy kids that are 10 & up because I haven't quite mastered not jumping up. I lived with another dog and would probably do well with another active dog as a playmate, but no cats please. My perfect family is one who understands how to use positive ways to encourage or change my behavior. Please consider me!
 
      

                 
 

"ASPEN" blue eyed husky mix

ADOPTED!

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

animal id # 578545

Hello, my name is Aspen! I am a young girl who is looking for an active family who can provide me a loving home. I have been showing some signs of being anxious when confined or separated from humans. My ideal family is one who can help teach me ways to cope with any stress and is able to work closely with their vet to help ease me into the new routine. Another well matched dog friend or a human who works from home? Please ask about me! There should be no children under 8 in my new family. I am around 2 years old and weigh 57 pounds




"ANNE KLEIN" adorable Chihuahua lap dog

ADOPTED!
July 28, 2016

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink   ( adoption pending 7/28)
animal id # 579410

The shelter named me Anne Klein because not only would I fit in a handbag and hey it's kind of cool to be named after a famous designer. I'm about 4-5 years old and at less than 6 lbs, weigh less than most purses when they are full. I'm shy and shut down here at the shelter, so they are recommending a quiet home with respectful kids at least 10 years old & up.

"ALASKA" american eskimo mix

ADOPTED!
July 28, 2016
 
Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink
animal id # 579696

My name is Alaska. I am 2 years old and weigh 20 pounds. I am a fun loving little guy who would love a place to engage with my people on a regular basis, either going on long, exercise-filled walks or curled up on the couch watching a movie! I have been social with all people, and have also been around other dogs. I can be a bit shy about being leashed and walking through doorways, so my new family should work with getting me comfortable through lots of reward based training-it could be fun, you know! Hope to see you soon!



"JANET" quite the pronounced underbite - Chi mix

ADOPTED!

animal id # 579601

My name is Janet. I am a cute little lady and would love to join your family! I become really outgoing and friendly when I am around same-sized canine buddies, but can be a bit shy and nervous when I am by myself. I would be perfect for a companion dog, or even adopted with the friends I came with into the shelter! I love being held and look for attention from people who make me feel safe and happy. Hope to see you down here at MCAS! I am 3 years old and weigh 4 pounds.



"ARTHUR" - med size - athletic - herding type sweet mutt

Adoption Pending!
July 22, 2016

Available for Adoption with  Indigo Rescue!
Arthur is living in a foster home 

please see Arthur's  Indigo Rescue Link - for more information - and also for more info on how to apply if interested

Meet Arthur!

Arthur is a sweet and adorable American Shelter Mutt - which is another way of saying we don't know exactly what breed mix he is! We think he is about five years old. He has a soft coat, something like an Australian Shepherd and he's a great smallish medium size, weighing about 35lbs. Arthur loves adults, and kids over 12 years old. He does not like small children at all! He gets along fine with small dogs and he can get along with bigger dogs once he knows them, but when he meets them on leash he is very defensive. He does really well at the dog park, as long as dogs don't jump on him. Arthur is a great walking/hiking companion and as you can see by his airborne pic, quite an athlete! Arthur does have some separation anxiety so would do best in a home where the people aren't gone all day to work. He really would do best with another, smaller dog in the home as company. He doesn't currently live with a cat but we think he might be fine with cats who don't run.



Arthur loves to high jump to catch the ball:)
 It's important to be careful and not do it too much,  so he doesn't get injured

"TATER" awesome funny mix puppy

ADOPTED!
July 26, 2016

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink 
animal id # 579589

Hello! My name is Tater. I am a fun, energetic little love bug who is looking for the right family to help me grow. I am still young, and will need guidance learning all the great and wonderful things all the older dogs know! It is important that I continue to have positive and consistent interactions with new people and dogs. Maybe even some puppy classes or reward-based training would be fun! I am 4 months old and weigh 20 pounds.       (....so he may grow to be up to 40 lbs? as an adult?)

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink ( 7/25 adoption pending)
animal id # 579319

My name is Pita Bread, but really it should be Pita Pocket because I would almost fit in someone's pocket. I'm a senior girl about 13 years old looking for a nice quiet retirement home. I have a heart murmer but I'm in good health otherwise. I only weigh about 5.6lbs. so no kids under 12 years old or rowdy big dogs in my new home please.

animal id # 579376

Hello, my name is Otis! I am a handsome guy with a big happy wiggling body! I like attention from people, can become quite playful, and already know how to sit, and shake. I've been curious to play with other friendly dogs but my shelter friends don't have any information on how I am with cats. My new family should be prepared to feed me a high quality diet to help improve my skin and hair. Please consider me! I am around a year and a half old and weigh 67 pounds




 
 

"REMY" Sweetheart American Bulldog

ADOPTED!!!
July  26, 2016

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink 
animal id # 578915

Hi I'm Remy, a purebred American Bulldog. Once I know you, I am a big cuddle bug--I am definitely NOT a guard dog, so if you are looking for a proctector, I'm not the guy for you. I was well loved and cared for by my original family, which shows in my nice manners. I was startled by a small child and bit, causing her to get stitches in her lip. I have also had clashes with other dogs. As a result, I need to be the only pet (no other dogs or cats) and have a child restriction of 12 and older. Level 3-earn his trust with food before showing. Go slow for this guy; he's pretty scared in the kennel. If you are interested in seeing Remy, please email animal.care@multco.us for appointment

"PRINCE CHARMING" regal Akita mix

ADOPTED!
July 2016
 
Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink  
animal id # 579478

I'm Prince Charming. I'm handsome, and regal looking for my fairy tale ending. I'm a 2 year old Akita mix. I weigh about lbs. I'm going to make someone a great pet after I get some help brushing up on my royal etiquette. I know sit and shake, but I could easily learn more with reward based training. I am very food motivated. The shelter says my new home should not have no cats.



 

 

"DAPPER DAN" (happy UPDATE) sweetie mature Lab mix

Happy adoption update:
Long-time shelter resident, Dapper Dan, was adopted a couple weeks ago.  His new home emailed us: Little over a week ago Susan and I adopted Daper Dan, here after named BUDDY.  He is a wonderful addition to our family.  We have taken him to our Vet and he has received a very good bill of health..  His tail has healed nicely.  We have had him groomed professionally.  He is so sweet.  He made friends with our 3 cats right away.  Loves to ride in the car as we take him everywhere we can.  He behaves nicely both on and off the leash.  Constantly wants to be pet and uses his front paws to make sure he is not ignored.  He is eating well and drinking well and is at 86lbss which our vet says is an ideal weight for him.  We have another follow up appointment with him and out vet to check on his tail again on Wednesday but I don’t anticipate any problems.  It took him a night to calm down now sleeps on the floor next to our bed all thru the night with one of our cats snuggled up against him.  He is a giant baby love bug!  He seems very content and happy.  Please pass this on to the Volunteers and staff who took such good care of him.  Thank you, Mike and Susan

Hi there! My name is Dapper Dan. I am an older fella, but don't let that fool you-I am just as alive and ready for my next great adventure as my younger days. I love to go on long walks and meet new people. As with any lab, I always consider myself the center of attention and the life of the party. I also know when it is time to relax and catch the game on tv with my best friends. I have been social with all people and have shown social behaviors with dogs too, but I will still need a meet and greet here at the shelter if there are other dogs in the home. You may have noticed that I now have bobbed tail, well the vet staff removed an unsightly mass and some of my tail. I feel much better now. I
 
 
 
 

"LICKERS" delightful Cattle dog (Lab?) mix

ADOPTED!
July 24, 2016

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink
animal id # 579533

My name is Lickers! You guessed it-I am good for a smooch with my favorite people! I am still very active for my age, and love to go on long walks where I can get some good sniffs in, or play fetch in the yard for an hour or eight! My coat has seen better days, so some regular grooming and bathing would be wonderful in getting me back to looking fabulous. Due to my aversion to some handling and nipping when playing, it is best that I go to a home with only teenagers or adults who can read my signals and respect my boundaries. Can't wait to play some fetch with you! I am 9 years old and weigh 53 pounds.
