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.
  • I love to learn! You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things. I already know some basic cues such as, sit, stay, & crate, and I'm putting in the work to learn how to walk nicely on leash.
  • I am used to living an active lifestyle! I would love to get up and go adventure with you.
  • 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.
  • I am sure to wiggle and waggle my way into your heart.
  • Resource Guarding: I have a history of guarding my people, food, toys and/or bedding from other animals or people.
  • In my last home, I did great in the crate!

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I would prefer to be the only pet in the home.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • No small children. My energy and size can be a lot for little kids, but I could do well with older, dog-savvy children.

"SHAZ" *foster home* 8 mth PITbull PUP *Good house manners* "STUMPTOWN STRAYS" *great with dogs**great on leash* would like a dog companion, calm home*

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

"SHAZ"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

SHAZ adoption $250  Breed: Breed: Pit Bull Terrier spayed female

8mths 42 lbs and growing 

ok with Dogs, Ok with Cats,  Kids- unknown

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Athletic, Friendly, Funny, Loves, Playful, Smart

Shaz, our 8 month old 42 pound pitty, struggles with first impressions. Wary of strangers, she can be awkward and shy. Fast forward thirty minutes though, and Shaz is your best friend. Once you’re in, Shaz loves hard. Like most of us, she’s easy to win over with cheese.

Shaz is a great house guest. She is crate and potty trained, does well when left alone, and is quiet. Shaz is perfect with other dogs, both large and small. Shaz has also been respectful of cats (mostly observing them from a distance). Her hobbies include stick destruction, full body hugs, and playing with her housemates. Out and about, Shaz is great on a leash and is contemplative and not reactive.

Like a lot of pitties, Shaz has a loud bark. She will bark at new people coming into her space until she's sure they are safe. Although not at all aggressive, the bark may be alarming to children, so we don't recommend little kids in Shaz's home. Shaz makes friends easily with patience and treats, but we suspect Shaz would be stressed out in a house with a lot of strangers coming and going. We started Shaz on Prozac to help with her fear, and it's been helping. This medication is cheap and we recommend Shaz continue it for at least 6 months. As we always say, there's no shame in needing a little pharmaceutical help.

Shaz thrives with positive reinforcement and loves to be told she's doing things the right way. She needs to live with someone as gentle as she is who will let her go at her own speed. We also think Shaz would do best in a home with another confident dog or have access to dog playmates.

Shaz is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. Her adoption fee is $250. Due to her breed, Shaz must be adopted by a home-owner or someone with written permission from their landlord.


 

 

 

 



 




"MR GOODBAR aka ALEX" *Foster home* CHIHUAHUA mix "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

"MR GOODBAR aka ALEX"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

MG/ALEX adoption $250  Breed: Chihuahua Mix

8 yrs 11 lbs neutered male  Housetrained: Yes

ok with Dogs - Yes, Cats -Yes,  Kids- unknown (older)

adoption application

 

 
Mr Goodbar, our 8 year old 10 pound chihuahua-mix, is pretty proud of his DNA results. Yes, he’s nearly all chihuahua, but his test also indicates that Mr Goodbar is 9% Pomeranian. Since learning this, Mr Goodbar has been teasing his hair up. Do us a favor? Tell him he looks extra fluffy when you meet him.

Found stray, the county shelter asked us to help Mr Goodbar with his dental disease. We took him in, cleaned his teeth, and extracted several painful molars. Now healed (and neutered!), Mr Goodbar can get to the business of finding a home.
 
A real charmer, Mr Goodbar is an easy house guest. He is good in his crate, is 98% potty trained (he did mark an indoor plant a couple of times, but we can see why that’s confusing), and mostly quiet. Mr Goodbar loves other dogs and likes to meet them both on and off leash. He’s also been respectful of the cats that he’s met.
 
When we first met Mr Goodbar, he was terrified to walk on a leash. His foster family has taught him that outings are fun, and Mr Goodbar is really getting the hang of adventures. In the house, Mr Goodbar is easily entertained with squeaky toys. He’s learned to sit and he’ll spin around for attention when he’s excited. 
 
The one thing Mr Goodbar doesn’t like is being picked up suddenly. That’s understandable, but because of this sensitivity, we don’t recommend small kids in his new home. Mr Goodbar’s ideal adopter will be gentle and active. Mr Goodbar likes to explore and having a buddy to do that with would be great. Although initially a little insecure, Mr Goodbar is a very sweet and friendly guy once he realizes he’s safe. 
 
Mr Goodbar is heartworm negative and is current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. His adoption fee is $250.
Have you been looking for a chihuahua with just a drop of fancy? How about one who’ll dance for you when you come home? Apply to adopt on our website today! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application

AUGUST & LINCOLN" **BONDED WEIMARANER BROTHERS*** - "OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE

 

"AUGUST & LINCOLN " Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE

CURRENT LOCATION:  Salem, Oregon

Weimaraner neutered male,  5 yrs ADOPTION FEE: $500

BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:

CHILDREN:  12 +

CATS:  NO

DOGS:  Possibly

Meet August and Lincoln.  These are two 5 year old bonded brothers who will come as a dynamic duo.  Both are healthy, neutered, microchipped, current on all vaccinations, and AKC registered. They are available for adoption through no fault of their own. Due to a complicated and lengthy divorce, their family has made the difficult decision to find them the loving, stable home they deserve. 

August ("Auggie")

Auggie is a 94 pound gentle giant with a loyal heart and an easygoing personality. Affectionate, attentive, and incredibly devoted to his people, he's the kind of dog who wants nothing more than to be by your side. While he naturally gravitates toward women, he has a calm, balanced temperament and forms strong bonds with those he trusts.

At home, Auggie is a wonderful companion. He's fully housebroken, non-destructive, and not an excessive barker, though he'll happily let you know when visitors or the mail arrive. He sleeps quietly through the night and would love nothing more than to snuggle up in bed or curl up between your legs on the couch after a day of play.

Auggie enjoys the simple things in life: car rides, playing fetch (especially with his Chuckit!), chewing on a favorite bone, and relaxing with his family. With regular exercise and daily opportunities to run, he's perfectly content to spend the rest of the day as a couch potato.

This handsome boy is exceptionally well-trained. He completed professional training and knows an impressive list of commands, including Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, Give Space, Gentle, Bedtime, Outside, Up, All Done, Down, Off, Park, Walk, Car, Food, and Treat. He even rings a bell when he needs to go outside! Auggie has excellent recall, is well socialized, and has regularly enjoyed supervised off-leash time in appropriate settings.

Auggie also has an outstanding boarding history. He attends doggy camp and overnight boarding, where he consistently receives glowing report cards from staff. When boarding, he and Lincoln have always stayed together for comfort and support.

Auggie would thrive in a home that offers routine, companionship, and room to stretch his legs. A fenced yard or acreage would be ideal, as he loves his daily open-field runs. He would do best in a calmer household with older children or adults, especially with someone who works from home or is home much of the day.

 Lincoln ("Linc")

Lincoln, affectionately known as "Linc," weighs in at 81 pounds and is everything people love about a Weimaraner. Sweet, gentle, and incredibly devoted to his people, he's happiest when he's close to his family—especially if he's carrying his beloved blanket. (a true “Linus-nooker”) Linc loves to cuddle under the covers, tuck himself in with his blanket, and snuggle beside you after a day of adventure.

Linc is friendly, curious, and well-socialized. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, he's generally calm and confident rather than overly playful, and is often content to do his own thing. He's non-reactive, polite in social settings, and has an excellent track record at doggy daycare and boarding.

He's professionally trained, highly food-motivated, and knows a wide variety of commands. Linc is housebroken (bell trained), has outstanding recall, and is comfortable off leash in appropriate settings. The boys sleep quietly together and will happily share your bed or curl up with each other on dog beds.

Like most Weimaraners, Linc thrives with regular exercise. He'd much rather enjoy a 30-minute run than a long walk and would love a home with a securely fenced yard or acreage where he has room to stretch his legs and explore.

Linc would do best in a home with older children who can respect his space and routine. A calm household is ideal, and because of his prey drive, a cat-free home is recommended.

One of the most special parts of Linc's story is his bond with his brother, August. The two have grown up together, attend daycare together, board together, and sleep curled up side by side. They share a wonderful companionship and would love nothing more than to find a home together.

These boys come as a pair. If you're looking for a couple of faithful companions who are well-mannered, affectionate, and ready to become your best friend, these boys may be the perfect match.   Please complete an application if you are interested.

Housetrained-YES  NEEDS - good fenced yard so he can run around and play and get his energy out

Meet Romeo.

If you’re looking for a dog who will truly love you, Romeo is ready to give his whole heart. This sweet boy has been waiting far too long for his happily ever after, and he deserves a family who will cherish and spoil him the way he’s always deserved.

Romeo is incredibly affectionate and devoted to his people. He’s a total leaner who wants to press right up against you, soaking in every bit of closeness he can. After he’s had a chance to stretch his legs and play (a fenced yard where he can safely run and explore would be perfect for him), he’s happiest curled up as close as possible—sometimes somehow folding himself into the tiniest little ball just to stay connected to his person.

He’s playful, loyal, and eager to be part of your everyday life—whether that’s enjoying time outside together or relaxing at home. Romeo bonds deeply and loves with his whole heart. He’s been so patient while waiting for someone to choose him. Now he just needs a loving family to finally say, “You’re home.” Could you be the one to give Romeo the forever he’s been dreaming of?

If you are interested in meeting me, the shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday 11am – 5pm, Sunday 11am-4pm (Winter Hours).
