CINCO  #314154 listed as American Shelter Dog male,  3 yrs 6 mths 95 lbs
 
*no cats (will chase unless cat is dog savvy) 
 
  Hey there, I'm Cinco, a handsome and sizable dog tipping the scales at almost 95 pounds! I'm hoping to find a wonderful family who can help me navigate this next chapter of my life. I'm a strong and sturdy fella, and I'll admit I could use a little assistance with my leash manners. 
 
With some patience and positive guidance, I'm confident I can learn to walk like a pro by your side! While I may be a tad wary of new people and situations at first, I'm eager to build trust and form lasting bonds with a loving family. Given the chance, I'll show you just how loyal and devoted I can be.
 
 The shelter recommends no cats in my new home unless they are confident around dogs, as I prefer to chase them. And due to my large size and exuberance, children in my new home should be 8-years and up. 
 
If you're searching for a big-hearted companion to join your family, look no further! Let's meet and see if we're a perfect match. I'm ready to embark on new adventures and create unforgettable memories with you. Let's make it happen!

"MARSHA" Pint size CUTIE! Staffordshire Bull Terrier "OHS- Portland"

 "MARSHA" AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at Oregon Humane Society  in PORTLAND

MARSHA Available 10/16/2025  #332693

 "Looks like" Stafordshire Bull Terrier spayed female, $50

1 yr 2 mths 34 lbs 

 

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I have been working with the Behavior and Training team here at OHS for consistency and am looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. You'll need to meet with me multiple times before taking me home.
  • To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
  • Don't be fooled by my size, I may be petite, but I am quite the energetic dog and would love to get up and go!
  • I may suffer from RBF, but I'm as sweet as can be!
  • I'm a fiend for food! Snacks are a great way to make friends with me and teach me fun tricks. I already know some basic cues, such as sit, stay, and lay down.
  • I'm quite a chatty girl, so I would do best in a home that does not have shared walls
  • I can't wait to show my new family how playful I am!
  • Need a pal to motivate you to get up and go? That's me!
  • I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
  • High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
  • Resource Guarding: I have a history of guarding my food and toys from people and animals.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I need a home without cats or other small animals.
  • I need to be the only dog in the home.
  • My energy and size can be a lot for little kids, but I would do great with older, dog-savvy children.

"DALLAS" *FAVORITE! *Universally POPULAR!* 7mth *Med-sz* WHIPPET/LAB mix PUP "STUMPTOWN STRAYS

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

"DALLAS plus VIDEO " is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

neutered male 7 mths 37 lbs  Breed: Whippet & Labrador Retriever Mix

adoption fee $350    Ok with  Kids yes, Dogs yes, Cats- yes  Housetrained 

adoption application 

Personality: Affectionate, Athletic, Brave, Curious, Friendly, Funny, Loves, Playful

 

 Dallas, our 37 pound 7 month old puppy, is being coy about his breed mixture. He has the sweet goofiness of a lab and the leggy/willowy appearance of a whippet. He'll likely be less than 50 pounds fully grown, which in our opinion, is a perfect size. So, we guessed. And who cares? What ever Dallas's breed mix is, the result is adorable.

 Dallas was stray when he was hit by a car. Having sustained a fracture to his pelvis and femur, Dallas needed a safe place to heal. We took one look at that face and happily took Dallas in so he could recover. It's been several weeks and he finally got the all clear - the fractures are healed and Dallas can go back to the business of being a dog.

 

Universally popular, Dallas is a fan of everyone and everyone likes him back. He is good with all sizes of dogs, is mostly respectful of his cat roommate (as always, a dog savvy cat and slow introductions are recommended), and likes kids. Dallas is crate and house trained. He needs some work on leash walking (he pulls a bit and wants to say 'hi' to all the dogs) because Dallas is a puppy. His adopter should recognize that Dallas likely needs a little work on lots of things. We've said this before, but please don't adopt a puppy unless you want to train it.



A fan of toys (and, ahem, shoes), Dallas is easily entertained. Although energetic and always ready to play, Dallas has also mastered snuggling. His happy place is in his person's lap. Dallas's ideal home should be somewhat active; Dallas is requesting having access to other dogs for play dates.



Dallas is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered and current on his flea and heartworm preventions.

Did you know that people call a lab/whippet mix a Whipador? We have to insist that whoever adopts Dallas does NOT call him that. Is that person you?

"PETE" lovable *Tri-pod* Pittie PUPPY "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

"PETE plus VIDEO " is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Pete not yet listed on the adoption website

neutered male 5 mths 21 lbs  

adoption fee $400 

adoption application 

We fell for Pete, our 21 pound 5 month old pitty, as soon as we saw his photo. We are suckers for a single eye spot, sure, but throw in an ear spot? We’re putty in Pete’s paws. Pete is as sweet as he is adorable and we’re so happy we get to find him a family.
 
Pete was found injured and taken to the shelter where he was diagnosed with two broken legs. Fortunately, his back leg was healing fine. However, Pete’s front leg could not be saved. Thanks to the 15/10 Foundation for covering his care in it’s entirety, we were able to get Pete the surgery he needed. He is recovered from his amputation; you wouldn’t know Pete’s only got 3 legs when you see him run around. Like all of our tripods, Pete can do all the same things 4 legged dogs can do.
Crate trained (with some periodic complaints) and nearly potty trained, Pete is well on his way to being a well-behaved adult. He is incredibly friendly and is happy to meet (and make out with) any human. Pete is great on a leash, loves the car, and excels at being out and about. When not playing, Pete is a fan of cuddling and is affectionate. Pete loves his big dog roommate and is mostly respectful of his cat roommate. We think, with proper introductions, Pete could live with anyone. 
We expect Pete to be about 45-55 pounds fully grown. Although he’s acing his beginning training with us, his adopter should plan on taking Pete to puppy classes. Thanks to the 15/10 Foundation, Pete’s first training class will be paid for! No one should adopt a puppy if they don’t plan to train it; now there’s no reason not to sign up.
Pete is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. His adoption fee is $400.
 
Ideally, Pete’s adopter owns their own home or has a letter from the landlord stating that Pitbulls are allowed on the lease.
Pete is still going to be adorable all grown up. Want to be the one to help him get there? Apply to adopt on our website. https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application 💙🐾

🐾 Meet the magnificent Reese, a giant-sized, handsome chocolate Lab mix who's ready to fill your home (and yard!) with love. This gentle hulk arrived as a stray, making him a bit of a wonderful mystery we're still solving! While he starts off cautious and may take a moment to interview new people, patience is highly rewarded: once his guard is down, you'll unlock a lifetime supply of goofy grins, happy wiggles, and pure, doggy joy. 
 
Reese's only request is a spacious, fenced yard fit for a king and a forever family ready to earn his giant heart. Think you're up for the challenge? Ask to meet this big marshmallow! 👑🏡😊

"STUMPTOWN STRAYS" Give Guide 2025

 GIVE GUIDE 2025

Give Guide Stumptown Strays 

Stumptown FB 11/11/25 


Some of the saddest cases we take in deal with neglect. We look at our own pups, joyfully enjoying the sniffs of crisp fall hike or digging in their favorite blanket to make sure it’s arranged just so for the perfect snooze and our hearts break for the dogs we meet here at Stumptown Strays that aren’t living that type of life.
 
Like GG. This 12 year old Lhasa came to us in terrible shape, very obviously neglected for years. She was found dumped in Portland, bald and covered in sores. GG also had horrific eye, ear, and skin infections. She was in a lot of pain and needed help.
 
 In our exam, we diagnosed GG with KCS - a condition where the eyes don’t produce enough tears and cause a lot of problems. Using an eye ointment we were able to improve her right eye, but at the point she was at, the left could not be saved and had to be removed. We also discovered that GG had allergies causing her to chew herself raw but on a limited ingredient diet and medication, they are manageable. Finally comfortable in her own skin (literally,) GG was able to decompress in her cozy foster home and heal. Her fur has grown back and she has found her own forever family who loves her and gives her the life she’s always deserved.
 
 In the end, GG was lucky that she was found and taken to the county shelter who reached out to us. And we were lucky we were able to say yes to her! Dogs that looked like GG did simply don’t get adopted from shelters and most shelters can’t provide the type of extensive medical care that GG needed - but that’s why we exist!
 
Every donation during Give!Guide allows us to continue to say yes to pups like GG in 2026. Check out Give!Guide to donate here: https://giveguide.org/nonprofits/stumptown-strays
Or share this post with your networks to spread the word about our work. We truly couldn’t do it without your support. 💙🐾
