"PEBBLES" young Pomeranian "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

UPDATE 1/30/25 ADOPTED or on hold

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

 "PEBBLES" is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Pomeranian, spayed female, house trained, 18 mths 11lbs

 Dogs- yes Cat-most likely, Kids-yes Adoption fee $400

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Gentle, Playful, Loves

We have a theory about Pebbles, our 18 month old 11 pound Pomeranian. When she was being created, she spent extra time in the "fluffy and cute" department. Probably overloaded a bit, to be fair. Then, with some time left, Pebbles filled up on "charming" in the personality department. What she forgot to do was get in line for decent legs. So, Pebbles got the leftovers. Our skeletally challenged dreamboat is now looking for a family to embrace her differences.

Pebbles came to us after having been found stray. The shelter noticed her odd walk and reached out to us for help. During her spay, we took x-rays and found that Pebbles has a deformed front leg (likely from a poorly healed fracture when she was growing) and was born with poorly seated hips (hip dysplasia) and luxating patellas. So, Pebbles has one good leg.

We took Pebbles to the orthopedic specialist to see if anything could be done. We learned that she would need multiple extensive surgeries to correct these problems. The recovery would be prolonged and painful with a higher than desired complication rate. As Pebbles is happy and comfortable, we elected not to try and rebuild her. She may not be cut out for marathons or backpacking, but she was born for long cuddles and romps around the yard.

Pebbles loves all people including kids. She has been so easy to have in foster as she is crate and potty trained. Good on a leash, Pebbles loves to meet dogs both on and off lead. She is still a puppy and is playful and funny. Nothing makes her happier than a squeaky toy. Pebbles is fine being left alone as long as her person makes up for their absence with extra hugs. We have not seen Pebbles around cats but can do an introduction if needed; we suspect she'd be just fine.

We do wish Pebbles had been granted a better body. But she's obviously perfect anyway. Think yours is the home for Pebbles?

Short Stack is a two-and-a-half-year-old female Pitbull who's as petite as her name implies!

She's looking for a patient and understanding family who will give her the time and space she needs to blossom. Could that be you?

"JENSEN" now in FOSTER! timid, fearful in shelter GERMAN SHEPHERD mix "MCAS"

 UPDATE 1/29/25ADOPTED or on hold

Sweet boy! recently had a Dog's Day out and was easy riding in a car, and going for a leash walk in a park. Jensen has a fan club of volunteers who are patient and allowed Jensen to take his time trusting them (in the scary shelter environment) A true "heart dog" for a lucky person

He is a shy timid German Shepherd and would benefit from being in a home instead of the loud shelter.  Jensen will need a good home/foster who is patient.  He previously came in with his (sibling?) Jenny who has been adopted. It's possible that Jensen would benefit from the companionship of a confident, compatible and dog-social dog

NOTE  I am no longer a fan or longterm volunteer of MCAS due to poor current shelter management, but that isn't the dogs' fault and I still try to support the dogs as much as I can. JENSEN could use a good foster home!!

 "JENSEN"is Available  for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

JENSEN  Animal ID: 333297 male 3 yrs  65 lbs

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/333297

now in foster

Jensen is a 3-year-old German Shepherd who is a bit of a mystery. He's quite nervous at the shelter but loves to explore his surroundings with his nose. While hesitant with people, he'll curiously approach to within a couple of feet before retreating, showing a conflict between his desire to connect and his fear. Jensen needs a patient and understanding family who can give him the space and time he needs to build trust. He's motivated by treats, which will be a valuable tool for building a bond and working on confidence-building exercises. A quiet home with a predictable routine will help him feel safe, and a family who can read his subtle cues and respect his boundaries will be key to helping him blossom. If you're experienced with fearful dogs and ready to provide a loving and supportive home for Jensen, please come meet him today to see if it would be a good fit. With the right family, this diamond in the rough will shine!

JENNY   UPDATE 12/30/24 ADOPTED
Animal ID: 333298 spayed female 2 yrs 6 mths (guessed)44 lbs

JENNY ( UPDATE 12/30/24 ADOPTED )  came in with Jensen

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/333298

Jenny is a 2.5-year-old Shepherd searching for a special home with patient and understanding adopters. This sweet girl can be nervous and shy at first, especially in new situations. She responds well to gentle approaches, crouching down to her level, and offering tasty treats. Jenny loves to go for walks and explore once she's out of her kennel, but she can be a bit hesitant about the leash initially. She's still learning to trust people and may take some time to warm up, but with a calm and loving approach, she has the potential to be a wonderful companion. Jenny has a fear waiver, so her new family should be prepared to work with her on building her confidence and helping her feel safe. A quiet home with a fenced-in yard where she can relax and play would be ideal. If you think you can offer Jenny the time, space, and love she needs to blossom, come meet her at the shelter today!
