LITTLE BEAR #175940 Breed: Border Collie  

spayed female, 1 yr 4 mth  42 lbs $400

I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.

I have some handling sensitivity. That means I have some preferences about how and where I get petted. My human friends at the shelter can tell you more!

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

 Here's what you need to know about me:

I'm not on the general adoption floor. You might not see me when you come to visit. So please speak to an adoption counselor if you'd like to meet me.

I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.

I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.

I like dogs. I've lived with dogs before and we shared our space well!

It's recommended I meet any kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

Say hello to Subie, a gentle 8-month-old German Shepherd mix who is looking for a patient soul to show him the ropes! This sweet boy is a little more "slow-and-steady" than high-speed, as he's naturally shy and takes a bit of time to feel comfortable with new faces. Once you've earned his trust, however, Subie's loyal heart shines through, making every small milestone feel like a major victory. He's looking for a calm, supportive home where he can build his confidence at his own pace and blossom into the devoted companion he was born to be. 🐾✨πŸ•‍🦺

*Foster home  *I'm a favorite of staff and volunteers. 

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • Are you ready for me and you to be stuck like glue?
  • Pucker up! I like to give kisses.
  • Give me a little time to adjust and I will show you I am the biggest sweetheart.
  • I am still a bit of a puppy so I love to get goofy and bounce around, I still have a lot of growing up to do!
  • I had so much fun meeting another dog here in the shelter! But if your resident dog does not like to wrestle then we probably aren't the best match.
  • Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me! 

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I may do best in a home where there is a resident dog for me to play with!
  • It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.

Interested in adopting me?

Animals available for adoption in foster homes need a special questionnaire submitted. From there, we will make an initial appointment for a phone consult to discuss their needs, and then schedule a meet and greet. Appointments are set on a first-come first-served basis in the order that we receive the questionnaires.

"LASS" *PRE-select** MED- sz **LIVELY** blond PUPPY "MCAS"

MCAS, PLEASE SPAY LASS BEFORE ADOPTING OUT!! 

 3/9/26 "I'm available for a pre-select adoption but I can't go home yet. Please come to the shelter to apply! Learn more about Pre-select animals." NOTE- it is important to check at the local animal shelters if you lose your pet as the stray hold time is only 3-6 days depending on if they have any id . Often the dog is listed as pre-select the same day it comes in as a stray 

"LASS" is Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

Adoption cost: $300.00 each License fee: $27.00 (Multnomah County residents only
 
LASS # 387494 Breed: American Shelter Dog, female, 6 mths 23 lbs and growing 
 

 Meet our lil Lass! At just six months old, this boisterous Celtic treasure is a true social butterfly who hasn't met a stranger she doesn't consider a best friend. This spirited young lady has enough energy to go for days and isn't shy about sharing her "craic"-she loves to tell you exactly how she's feeling, and because she's such a vocal storyteller, she'd be might be happiest in a house where she can express herself freely rather than an apartment. Whether she's zooming around the yard or curling up like a cozy peat fire for a cuddle after a day of romping around, Lass is all about spreading love, though she is still mastering her "potty" ropes (though doing well) and needs a patient family to help her finish her training. If you're looking for a loyal, lively companion to be your pot of gold, Lass is ready to start the adventure with you! 🌈🐾

adoption application

We didn’t plan on having these 6 puppies join us at Stumptown Strays. But a tribal member approached us during a wellness clinic we put on in the villages along the Columbia river and asked if we could take a litter that didn’t have anywhere to go.
They have been with us now for several weeks and are 4 months old! These are the girls: Moon - 18 pounds & likely to be about 30-40 pounds fully grown, Luna - 15 pounds & likely to be about 25-35 pounds fully grown, Tsunami - 18 pounds & likely to be about 30-40 pounds fully grown, and Sunny - 10 pounds & likely to be about 20-30 pounds fully grown (always educated guesses!) They are a mix between a smaller cattle dog and a husky. See the DNA results in the photos!
Thanks to the 15/10 Foundation for covering their care in its entirety, we were able to get the whole litter spayed and neutered as well as vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. The 15/10 Foundation has also sponsored a training class for each puppy - up to $400 value! Taking advantage of this offer will be a requirement for adoption.
The puppies did not have much socialization prior to coming to us, but in their separate foster homes, they are blossoming. Although shy and contemplative at first, the puppies are friendly and great with other animals. They have been working on meeting new people and on basic dog skills. They have not all mastered potty training but are very smart and motivated to learn. They have been crate trained and are working on leash skills.
All of the puppies will need an adopter willing to continue to work on their skills. Their foster homes have set them all up for success, but ongoing classes and training will be a must. They promise to make it fun! Their adoption fee is $300.
Some of the best things in life are unplanned, and so we were happy we could help this litter. Have you been thinking about expanding your dog family? Apply to adopt on our website! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application
