"KENO" happy mature TERRIER mix "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

"KENO plus VIDEOS! " is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

neutered male  10 yrs 12 lb

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

adoption application 

Personality: Affectionate, Funny, Friendly, Playful, Loves, Gentle, Brave

 

Keno, our 10 year old 12 pound terrier mix, is named after the lottery game. It's an odd name because taking a chance on Keno is no gamble: this guy is a sure bet! Our (nearly) perfect terrier is ready to put all of his cards on the table and find his family.

Found stray, Keno's microchip clued us in on his name and age. Sadly, however, it didn't help find his owner. The shelter asked us to help because Keno needed a dental and a general sprucing up. Although he lost several rotten teeth, you can bet that his breath smells a whole lot better.

We aren't exaggerating when we say that Keno is nearly perfect. He is crate trained, leash trained, and is a fan all other dogs (even on leash). Keno also really loves people. Having never met a stranger, Keno showers everyone in kisses as soon as he's introduced (something you can only get away with as a dog). Keno is 95% house trained, which is better than a lot of people we know.

Keno is such a fan of squeaky toys that he happily entertains himself with them for hours. Once exhausted, Keno will use that same squeaky toy as a pillow. We haven't seen Keno with cats, but we can't imagine him not liking anyone. As always, a slow introduction is recommended. Keno loves walks as much as he loves cuddles and we think he'd do as great with kids as he does adults.

Keno is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives.

Did you know the game Keno likely originates from a Chinese game called "White Dove Tickets"? That's admittedly a bad name for a dog (but a pretty good name for an Emo band). 

 




"DALLAS" SO Cute!! 7mth PUPPY Lab/Whippet mix (guess) "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?

 Patty: A Shy Pointer with a Big Heart Meet Patty, a handsome, one-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer whose rugged, wiry coat and intelligent eyes hint at his breed's adventurous spirit, even if he hasn't quite found his own yet. Patty is still a young soul in a big world, and he carries a gentle shyness that makes him truly endearing. Patty is a sensitive boy who is easily startled by sudden movements, loud noises, and new environments. He approaches life with a bit of caution, often preferring to observe from a safe distance before slowly and quietly inching closer to investigate. Once he feels safe and comfortable, however, his sweet, playful Pointer personality begins to emerge. A Home That Understands Because of his sensitive nature, Patty will thrive in a home that understands and respects his need for space and patience. 
 
He needs a quiet, structured environment where he can build confidence at his own pace. Patty is looking for a family with children ages 8 and up. Older, calm, and respectful kids who understand how to be "dog aware" and give him room to breathe will be the best fit. A loud, rambunctious household would be overwhelming for this gentle guy. With the right family, Patty promises to be a loyal, affectionate companion who will gladly melt into a long snuggle once the day's anxieties are behind him. He just needs a patient person to show him that the world, and his new home, is a safe and wonderful place.

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.
