*Gets Along with Dogs 
 


Meet Brisket, a stunning 18-month-old Cane Corso with a heart as big as his head! This handsome young guy is the definition of a "gentle giant" in training. Brisket is exceptionally smart and already knows how to sit politely for treats-he'll even offer a seat before you ask because he's just that eager to please! On the leash, he is an absolute dream, walking calmly by your side and ignoring distractions with ease. While he is a big, brave-looking fellow, Brisket has a sensitive side and is still learning to be fully comfortable with hands moving around his face and collar. Because he gets a little over-excited for snacks (he just loves them so much!), he's looking for a home with children ages 8 and up who can practice "open palm" treat delivery. He is incredibly treat-motivated, which makes training a joy. Brisket is looking for a patient, loving family who will continue to build his confidence and reward his sweet nature with plenty of chin scritches and cheese!

"FREYA" SAINT BERNARD *OK with Dogs, CAts, Kids!* "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance (and often helps take dogs when shelter is overcrowded)

"FREYA" Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption $350  Breed: Saint Bernard

spayed female 3 yrs 103 lbs  Housetrained: yes

ok with Dogs - Yes,  Cats - yes   Kids - yes

Personality: Affectionate, Couch Potato, Friendly, Loves Kisses

adoption application

 

Freya, our 3 year old Saint Bernard, is 103 pounds. This is 90 pounds heavier than the ideal lap dog, but don't bother telling Freya that. She's happiest when she's as close to her people as possible - being a lap dog is simply a case of mind over matter.

Surrendered to the shelter when her owner died, we were asked to help because Freya had a sizable mass on her hip. We removed that mass (and cleaned up her teeth while we were at it) and discovered that it was a benign fatty tumor - cured with the removal. Freya is recovered from her procedure and has fresh breath; perfect for making out.

Freya is extremely friendly. She also is pretty demanding when it comes to asking for attention. Freya will push her big head into available hands until they succumb. When she's not asking for attention, Freya is a couch potato. She is house trained, not destructive and will hold down the love seat until you get home.

Freya is good with cats and dogs, although she may be more indifferent to dogs than anything. If there is nothing to pull towards (other people to say hi to, dogs to say hi to), Freya is great on a leash. However, she does pull if she's motivated. Her adopter should be prepared to do some training with her. Her adopter should also be prepared to handle the typical Saint Bernard stubborn streak. Good thing our Freya is already mostly perfect.

Freya is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives.

Don't mind a bit of slobber? Already have an oversized couch with room for one more?

"RON" easy-going PITBULL **GOOD with DOGS, CATS, KIDS** "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance (and often helps take dogs when shelter is overcrowded)

"RON"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption $200  Breed: Pit Bull Terrier

Neutered male 7 yrs 75 lbs  Housetrained: yes

ok with Dogs - Yes,  Cats - Yes,   Kids - Yes

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Gentle, Loyal, Couch Potato

adoption application

 

 

 Ron, our 7 (ish) year-old 75 pound pitty is about as charming as they come. He's so friendly that if we didn't know any better, we would think Ron is running for office. But Ron's only agenda is to make more friends. It's time to find Ron the great home he deserves.

Found stray, Ron happily walked up to a stranger to ask for help. We took him in to address his skin and teeth. Ron had untreated fleas which caused hairloss on his back and he had some badly broken molars. With a little TLC, Ron's coat is back in shape and he's had his dental procedure. Ron's breath is now as sweet as his personality.

Ron has been a dream to foster. He's not destructive and will make good use of every dog bed in the house. Ron can be trusted to be left alone (he'll catch up on some zzz's), and is potty trained. If Ron needs to go out, he stares at his person intensely until they ask him if he wants out, which he'll answer with an "Awoo".

For fun, Ron likes sniff walks. Although Ron would follow his person to the end of the world, really long walks are hard on him due to arthritis in his hips and knees. Ron is on a daily NSAID for pain; we recommend this be continued long term. The only time Ron pulls on his leash is to say hello to other people, dogs or cats. He's been great with the other animals he's met. One of Ron's favorite hobbies is riding in cars (any car, really. Big fan). Ron isn't very impressed with toys, but he'll take one from his foster mom and play with it for 30 seconds so he doesn't hurt her feelings. Ron likes to be the little spoon when cuddling and would be happy to be snuggled for hours.

Ron is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. He's had normal senior blood work. We'll send Ron's adopter with several months worth of flea prevention and a good supply of NSAIDs.

We're so impressed with Ron that we're thinking of filling out an application ourselves.

"MOOSE" happy senior CHIHUAHUA mix "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

  Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance (and often helps take dogs when shelter is overcrowded)

"MOOSW"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption $150  Breed: Chihuahua Mix

neutered male 15 yrs (maybe younger) 18 lbs  Housetrained: yes

Ok with Dogs Yes...Cats yes...Kids  Yes

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Playful, Couch Potato

adoption application

 

Moose, our senior 18 pound chihuahua mix, is very happy it’s fall. To be fair, he was happy when it was late summer too. He was happy that time it rained and he’s happy to see the sun. You see, being happy is kind-of Moose’s thing. We can’t wait to see how thrilled he’ll be to meet his new family. 
 
Found stray, Moose (like a lot of little dogs) had terrible dental disease. We took him in to address that so that his breath is as pleasant as he is. Although he lost quite a few molars, he’s recovered well and is back to tap-dancing for his treats. Moose also had untreated fleas and his skin had suffered because of it. With antibiotics, his hair grew back beautifully. 
 
Described as “the easiest foster dog I have ever had”, Moose is great in the house. He’s quiet, tolerates/ignores cats, and loves other dogs. Moose is responsible enough to be left alone and is potty trained. However, he does need to go every few hours (he’s an older gentleman after all). Moose doesn’t pull on his leash and is excited to take walks.
 
The shelter guessed Moose to be about 15 years old. He’s not telling us, but Moose could be younger. He is very playful still and trots around after toys. Moose loves attention and is happy to curl up next to his person on the couch. 
 
Moose is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. Due to his sensitivity to fleas, Moose should be kept on year round preventatives. His adoption fee is $150.
What’s a better autumn goal than giving a great dog a great retirement home. Is that home yours? Apply to adopt on our website! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application
