"JOSEPHINE" *VOL FAV!!!* SMART and WILLING! Shep mix? (listed as Husky/boxer) "OHS- PORTland"

 COOL DOG!! so smart, active and willing!

TODAY, This great dog learned "CRAWL"  across the floor - took her about 2 minutes to get it right!  Seriously smart and willing.  She's been in the same environment (and knows the staff and volunteers now) for long enough to feel comfortable and confident (on in take she was shy and worried, and may be this way when adopted to a new home, until she gains confidence)  Josephine may jump up, or grab treats too hard, but is quickly learning to sit or lay down, as a default to getting too rowdy. So much POTENTIAL!!

"LUCY, URGENT! senior BORDER COLLiE *PERMANENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED* "OLD Dog HAVEN"

 LUCY  PERMANENT Old Dog Haven PERMANENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED: for "OLD DOG HAVEN"(note: all medical expenses paid by rescue)

 (fosters needed -located in W. Washington state or Portland, OR only)
"Lucy" is a 12.5 year old Border collie/retrieve mix. She is a spayed
 
LUCY female, who currently overweight at 66 pounds. This pretty girl's lifetime person has passed; she urgently needs a home.
 
 She's become used to spending a day outside (coming in overnight) though she has a dogdoor, perhaps guarding the property from raccoons or other "threats"? 
 
 Her vet records mention "really nice temperament, very friendly" and she loves
to play with a grandson and go to the dog park - good on leash, eager to
play when she gets a chance.
 
 She's not lived with another dog,
however. We know she needs a dental, she has cataracts starting, has
occasionally had skin/ear issues, but she's not had any labwork done so
the rest of her health is unknown. She sounds like a really great dog
who may need some help adjusting to the loss of her lifetime companion
and home.
 
If you'd like to help Lucy and give her a forever foster home through Old Dog Haven, all of her vet bills will be paid by us (thanks to donations!). To become a member of our forever foster home network, please read through the link and email: applications@olddoghaven.org
PLEASE NOTE: We respond to inquiries within 24 hours. If you haven't received an email please check your spam folder.

"PORTER" "PRE- SELECTION" friendly energetic German WireH POINTER "MCAS"

PORTER has been in the shelter - picked up as a stray - a number of times.  He has an owner who comes to RECLAIM him after a few days...  I don't know his story. I just hope PORTER is well- cared for (when he isn't a stray)  (I'm glad that he is safe in the shelter and not in the streets) I wish the owner would at least get him NEUTERED and pay better attention, so Porter doesn't end up killed in the streets.  I hope that he finds a great new home if not reclaimed yet again (It's not the dog's fault that he is in the shelter again)

"BEVERELY" senior CHIhuahua PERMANENT FOSTER HOme NEEDED "OLD DOG HAVEN"

 

PERMANENT Old Dog Haven PERMANENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED: for "OLD DOG HAVEN"(note: all medical expenses paid by rescue)
 (fosters needed -located in W. Washington state or Portland, OR only)
 
"Beverly" is a recently spayed female chihuahua who weighs 12 pounds. 
 
This adorable little dog is now in a temporary Old Dog Haven foster home
after a shelter foster home took her to recover from spay and removal of
several mammary masses. One of those masses was malignant and we have
to expect that more will appear in time. We might be lucky since the
hormones are gone now, but.... 
 
She is lively, good on leash, likes
the car, is housebroken and otherwise very healthy with all intake work
done. In this home she chased the cats the first day and then
snoozed with them. 
 
In her past life she lived with a younger male chi, then with several dogs in her shelter foster home. Now as an "only", however, she has decreed herself the protector and will need clear direction if strange dogs come up or strange people reach at her. 
 
 If you love this breed you will understand! She needs a permanent spot now that will enjoy her for short or long term, keep her active and watch
for any new masses to appear - hopefully not for a long time.
If you'd like to offer Beverley or one of the other dogs from our wait list a forever foster home, please read through the link below and email applications@olddoghaven.org
PLEASE NOTE: We respond to inquiries within 24 hours. If you haven't received an email please check your spam folder.

"CLAIRE" It's MY Turn! Young-senior GRANNY/Mama MaltiPOO/chi mix "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 Clair's puppies Birdie and Betty received an overwhelming response from viewers (and are adopted), but this darling senior mom is getting no adoption interest.  How sad!!!  I fostered  Claire briefly when she first came into rescue. She was exceedingly loving and an easy house guest.  Someone will be very lucky to adopt Claire! 

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

"CLAIRE" is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

MaltiPoo, chi mix, spayed female, housetrained, 10 yrs 11 lbs

ok with Dogs, ok with Cats,  ok Kids   Adoption fee $400

Personality: Affectionate, Brave, Friendly, Gentle, Loves

Claire, our 11 pound 10 year old Maltipoo, should have been enjoying early retirement. Instead, Claire was stray and found herself at a very crowded shelter.
We were asked to help as Claire had horrific dental disease. Since we love a dental makeover, we were happy to take her in. Imagine our surprise when we discovered our senior Claire was also pregnant.

Claire needed an emergency c-section on April Fools Day. She and her two girls made it through with flying colors. Claire's puppies have found their forever homes, which meant we were finally able to address Claire's mouth. She didn't have any salvageable teeth left. Although she's now toothless, Claire eats so much more comfortably, and is now ready to get a home of her own.

Very friendly, Claire is good with all people, including kids. She has been great with both cats and dogs. Claire is perfectly potty trained, quiet when left alone, and not destructive
. Claire loves walks so much that she dances when her person puts on their walking shoes. She is very cuddly, will politely tap you to remind you to keep petting her, and loves to be held.

Claire has had normal blood work, is heartworm negative and is current on her flea and heartworm preventative.

We can't imagine having to raise kids when we ought to be getting our AARP card.
Fortunately, Claire never has to do that again! Is yours the retirement home she's been looking for?

Interested?
