"MARLEY" *Permanent Foster NEEDED!* senior COCKER Spaniel "OLD DOG HAVEN"

OLD Dog HAVEN is a reputable 501-c Nonprofit Rescue Group helping senior dogs.
 
Old Dog Haven FB post Apr 1 2025
"PERMANENT Old Dog Haven HOME NEEDED:
(in W. Washington state or Portland, OR only)
 
"Marley" is a neutered male cocker spaniel, big but
pudgy! at 48 pounds. We are told that Marley is between 12-13 years old. He sounds like a really nice guy, his person passed and he is with family who can't keep him much longer. Marley has had longtime eye
troubles, mostly "cherry eyes" and some dry eye, and occasional ear
infections - the common breed issues - which will need further medical
visits and upkeep. He's not had lab work or a thorough exam but
has been vaccinated and the eye/ear medications kept up on. His caretakers say they
think his eyesight is limited and hearing may be also. Marley has lived
with other dogs and gets along with all, no cat experience but he
doesn't bother chickens! He's fine on a leash, hasn't had a lot of
exercise recently (thus some of the extra weight....) but enjoys
chasing a ball. We are told he is a very gentle, happy guy who will
snuggle up to anyone who will sit with or pet him.
 
If you know cockers, they are just great buddies. We would love to
find this boy an Old Dog Haven forever foster home.
Would you like to help Marley? Give him the forever home with care he needs?
Old Dog Haven pays all vet bills for the dogs we take into our care. We have donations to thank for that! 
 
There is a process to apply to become a forever foster. You can read more about that in the link here: https://olddoghaven.org/how-to-help/fostering/

"PANINI" *in foster* CUTIE little Pitmix "MCAS"

 

"PANINI"  Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

Date found: Tuesday, February 18, 2025
Location found: SE 104th and SE Cora
How did we get this animal: Officer Pickup
Adoption cost: $160.00(except $25 during on going adoption specials)
License fee: $27.00 (Multnomah County residents only
 
Animal ID: 341454, listed as "american shelter dog" 
spayed female, 1yr 1mth 38 lb 
Panini is a sweet, affectionate pup with a playful spirit and plenty of youthful energy! She's looking for an active, experienced dog owner who can provide her with consistent training and plenty of love. Panini is sure to grow into a well-mannered and loyal companion. Panini has made great strides in her training but is still very much an adolescent. She is well-behaved in the house, knows basic commands but still has occasional house-training accidents. While she's made great progress, she does pull on leash and would benefit from reinforcement on proper leash behavior and managing her excitement. While she loves to go on walks and car rides she does exhibit some nervousness when outside and is leash reactive towards cars. We're still learning about her interactions with other dogs and people, so her new family will play a key role in understanding her social preferences. She hasn't been around children and may be a little too bouncy for small kids. If you're looking for a loving, energetic dog who will thrive with guidance and care, Panini could be the perfect addition to your home!

While he might be a bit hesitant around new people and sudden noises at first, his gentle nature and loving spirit quickly shine through, especially with other dogs. Jax is looking for a loving family with a spacious yard to burn off his puppy energy, a patient and understanding home, and perhaps a canine sibling to share his adventures. 🐾 He's already mastered basic commands and is reliably potty and crate trained, making him a quick learner and a delightful addition to any household.

As a young and active dog, Cedar needs daily exercise and would thrive in a home with an equal-sized or larger dog friend for playtime-just a slow introduction, please! Alternatively, he would be delighted to be part of an active family with no other pets. While he hasn't been tested with cats and small dogs, he is eager to learn and adapt.

"BRODIE" relaxed Semi-senior ROTTIE *loves attention* "Humane Society of SW WASHINGTON- in Vancouver"

 

 "BRODIE" is Available for Adoption at the HUMANE SOCIETY OF SW WASHINGTON- Vancouver

BRODIE

In foster

Animal # 165147, (neutered male), 9 yrs 2 mths 72 lbs,

listed as Rottweiller

This pet is in foster, you won't find them at the shelter

Adopt me on the 4th of this month and my fee is waived! It's the Craig Stein Yappy Hour and we're honoring our friend Craig by waiving adoption fees for all pets. And every pet adopted during the promotion will also receive a branded bandana and a starter kit with food, treats, and toys!

Great news! My adoption fee has been paid by someone who loves me and wants me to find a great home.

Here's what you need to know about me:

I'd like a relaxed home. I wouldn't say I'm "old"... I've just been around for a while. And that's made me appreciate the finer things in life like naps in the sun, looking out windows, and the special joy when you're able to scratch juuuuust the right spot. I like to take it easy at home - I'm not up for lots of activity.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

I'd like a home where my family is home often. I'm just really social and love spending time with people, I prefer to not be left alone for long periods.

"KANGA" delightful young tan German Shepherd MIx *likes dogs* "HUMANE SOCIETY OF SW WASHINGTON- Vancouver"

 

 "KANGA" is Available for Adoption at the HUMANE SOCIETY OF SW WASHINGTON- Vancouver

KANGA

Animal # 164763, (spayed female), 1 yr 2 mth 80 lbs

listed as German Shepherd Dog

Adopt me on the 4th of this month and my fee is waived! It's the Craig Stein Yappy Hour and we're honoring our friend Craig by waiving adoption fees for all pets. And every pet adopted during the promotion will also receive a branded bandana and a starter kit with food, treats, and toys!

I've been in the shelter longer than most and my adoption fee has been paid by someone who loves me.

I'm a 1-year-old German Shepherd with a heart full of love and an excitement for life that's contagious! I'm an excitable girl who's prone to bursts of energy, always ready for a game of fetch or an adventure. I love toys and will happily entertain myself or engage you in playtime, keeping my active mind and body engaged.

While I'm affectionate and love attention, I can easily become wound up with too much excitement, so a calm and balanced approach to affection will help me thrive. I'm a loyal companion, and once I bond with you, you'll have a friend for life.

I'm reported to be good with dogs, so I may do well in a home with a canine companion, but I need to be in a home without cats.

I'm available for the trial adoption program.

If you're looking for an energetic, loving, and playful pup who's ready to keep you on your toes, I could be the perfect match for you! Come meet me today and see if I'm the right fit for your family!

"PIE" BREED Ambassdor - young German Shepherd (mix?)! "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

===========

I haven't met "PIE", but I think she must be an amazing dog!

She sounds like a German Shepherd breed ambassador for someone looking for a great companion dog who might not have considered a German Shepherd before==================

I read Pie's Stumptown Stray's write up and saw her photos/ video and she reminded me of my previous foster Luman with MCAS. ...My apologies to devote German Shepherd fans...but I was not a fan of the German Shepherd breed until I fostered Luman, a MCAS shelter stray dog. I saw her one day in the over-crowded and very loud shelter, after I had decided to Foster a dog ("urgent fosters needed"). Luman was huddled, afraid, in the corner of her outside kennel.  Luman won my heart, I brought her into foster, and  I bonded with her to the point that it was hard to see her move to a new home. THE problem I had with seeing her into a new home was (like with all my MCAS foster dogs ) I was concerned that she could be placed into a poorly matched home, due to MCAS policy which does NOT allow for proper adoption screening.  MCAS current management does not understand why many volunteers, fosters and caring staff members (except for management) are concerned that the shelter is failing in this regard, yet nothing is done to change it.
Anyway, a
long tangential story but needed to be said.

  "PIE" is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

German Shepherd mix, spayed female, house trained, 1 yr 75 lbs

 Dogs- yes Cats-unknown, Kids-yes Adoption fee "Sponsored!"

PIE on FB - plus videos

Pie, our 75 pound 1 year old mix, looks to be mostly German Shepherd. However, we’re convinced she’s at least 30% mermaid. Rain doesn’t slow Pie down; in fact, she bee-lines toward any puddle just to get her fins, ahem, her paws wet. We also think Pie is 20% parkour-loving kangaroo, 40% Squirrel Spotting Retriever (not currently an AKC breed), and 80% lap dog. Although math is not our strong suit, we are good at spotting excellent dogs. Excellent Pie is ready to find her people.
 
Pie was taken to the shelter as a stray after being hit by a car. She sustained a fracture to her right tibia (shin bone) that was surgically repaired by the shelter. They asked us to help Pie as she healed. Although the surgeon at the shelter did a great job, Pie’s fracture site got infected, and it took weeks and weeks of antibiotics to clear it up. Her most recent X-rays were perfect, and if you saw Pie’s kangaroo parkour skills, you’d never know anything was wrong with her.
 
Our Pie LOVES other dogs. She would thrive in a home with another similar sized dog who also wants to play all day. She is friendly, sweet, and wakes up every morning with a wagging tail. Pie is crate and potty trained. She also knows a lot of commands. Pie enjoys learning new things and if we had to pick one adjective to describe her, it would be “enthusiastic”. Toys? Yes, all of them. Walks? Can’t get enough. Gardening? Down-hill skiing? Sure, all of it. Pie just wants to be involved.
 
Pie needs an active adopter who can appreciate that Pie is basically a big, affectionate puppy. She’d love a running/hiking buddy. We have not seen Pie with cats, but assume she may be a bit big for a cat who isn’t dog-savvy. Pie is good with kids over 8.
 
Heartworm negative, Pie is current on her preventatives and is microchipped.
