Special Needs
 
Hi, I'm Abby. I'm a 10-year-old Pointer/American Pit Bull Terrier mix, about 50 pounds of pure love, sunshine, and snuggles. If you're looking for a best friend who believes every day should include naps, walks, cuddles, and a little bit of silliness, I think we should meet.

I've spent my whole life surrounded by family. I've lived happily with dogs, cats, and kids from toddlers to teenagers, and I genuinely enjoy having everyone around. Meeting new people? That's exciting! I'll happily say hello and soak up every bit of attention you're willing to give.

I'm getting older, so there are a few things to know about me. My back legs aren't quite as strong as they used to be so I need a little help into the car. I enjoy leisurely walks. I do not like to be alone so someone home all the time is very important to me. Loud noises, vacuum cleaners, and especially fire alarms aren't my favorite. I can be protective of my food and toys so while I may give a growl, I don't go beyond that. My skin can get itchy during the summer, so staying on flea prevention helps keep me comfortable.

At home, I'm happiest curled up next to my people, stretched out in a sunny spot, or snuggled into bed. I also have a hilarious hobby: giving stuffed toys a very dramatic "de-stuffing." If your plush squeaky toy suddenly loses all its fluff... well... it probably had a good run.

I'm a smart girl, too! I know sit, come, lay down, shake, and stay (when I'm feeling cooperative). I'm food motivated, eager to please, and I listen well—especially if snacks are involved.

I'm looking for a home where someone has time to enjoy life with me. I've always had people around, and while I can handle a few hours alone, I'd be happiest with someone who's home often and wants a loyal shadow to share their days. If your idea of a perfect afternoon includes sunshine, quiet companionship, and a dog who believes cuddling is an Olympic sport, I think we're going to get along just fine.

SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON

REGGIE"  Coonhound, Redbone / Hound neutered male, 13 yr 65 lbs $200

 
Crate trained
Housetrained
Good with Cats
Needs a fenced yard
 Hi, I’m Reggie! I’m a handsome 13-year-old Redbone Coonhound/Hound mix with a beautiful red coat, a big hound-dog personality, and a surprising amount of pep in my 65-pound body. Don’t let my age fool you—this senior guy is still strong, playful, and can run pretty darn fast when the mood strikes!

I’ve been with my family since I was just a pup, so finding a new home is a big change for all of us. My person is very ill, and they want to make sure I’m settled somewhere safe and loved.


I’m housetrained, crate trained, and leash trained. I sleep comfortably in my crate at night and am used to spending time outside in a securely fenced yard during the day. A fenced yard will be important in my new home, along with someone who has time to take me for walks, spend time with me, and build a bond.

I’m a gentle, adventurous, independent fellow who is playful, food motivated, and protective of my family. I’m friendly and curious with other dogs, and I’m especially good with cats. In fact, I’ve had kitty friends who thought my crate looked so cozy that they climbed right in and slept with me!

I haven’t lived with children, so we don’t know how I would feel about them. I can also be a little unsure about strangers and may bark when someone new arrives, but I settle down. Loud noises like thunder and fireworks can be scary for me.

For 13, I’m doing great physically. I can manage stairs and get in and out of the car without assistance, although I’m nervous about car rides and travel in a crate. I know “sit,” “come,” “no,” and “no bark,” and on walks I can walk nicely, though sometimes my hound nose gets the better of me and I pull.

What I’m hoping for now is pretty simple: a secure fenced yard, good walks, patience, companionship, and someone who wants to love a sweet old hound. I may be a senior, but I still have plenty of energy, personality, and love left to give. I’d really like to spend my golden years belonging to someone again.

"MILLIE" PUPPY DOG EARS * CORGI/LAB? MIX "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON Corvallis OR"

 

 "MILLIE"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON   Corvallis OR

SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON

MILLIE Mixed Breed (Medium)  spayed female, 13Y/3M/0W 37 lbs   $200

*Not Good with Cats
*Housetrained
*Crate trained
 
 Hi, I’m Millie! I’m a 13-year-old, 37-pound mixed-breed girl with a white coat, adorable puppy-dog ears, and a big smile. My exact breed is a bit of a mystery—maybe Lab mixed with Corgi? Whatever I am, I’ve managed to keep my youthful good looks. Even my vet was surprised by how alert, active, and friendly I am for my age!

I’ve spent my life in a quiet home where I’m rarely alone, and that’s the kind of life I’d love to continue. I sleep comfortably in my own bed at night, have free run of the house when my person is away, and can still handle stairs on my own. I do need a little help getting in and out of the car, and I have a crate for car rides. I especially enjoy having the window cracked so I can take in all those interesting smells!

I’ve never lived with dogs or children, so we really don’t know how I would feel about sharing my home with them. I can be friendly toward dogs but may also bark or growl. Cats, however, are another story. My family was cautioned about keeping me away from cats when they adopted me, so I need a cat-free home. A fenced yard is also a must for me.

My ideal home would be a quiet one with one or two people who will appreciate my personality, companionship, and affection. I’ve got plenty of love left to give, and I’d be happiest with people who enjoy having a sweet senior girl as part of their everyday lives.

My person loves me deeply, and finding me a new home is an incredibly painful decision. Serious health issues have made it difficult for her to safely care for me, and she wants to make sure I’m settled somewhere loving if she can no longer remain in her own home.

So while this isn’t the goodbye either of us wanted, it’s being made with love. I’m hoping there’s someone out there who will look at my puppy ears, my big smile, and my sweet senior face and say, “Millie, you can come home with me.
 





 


"BODIE" senior SHIH TZU "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON "


"BODIE"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 


BODIE

Breed: SHIH TZU 14 yrs 6 mths 15 lbs
 neutered male
  $200
 
*Housetrained
*Crate trained
*not good with cats 
 

Hi there! My name is Bodie, and I'm a 14-year-old Shih Tzu with 14 years of love to give. I may be a senior gentleman, but don't let my age fool you—I still enjoy life's little adventures, especially if they involve a walk, a car ride, or curling up next to my favorite person.

For my entire life, I've been deeply loved by my mom. Sadly, she's become ill and can no longer care for me the way she'd like. Her biggest wish is to find me a safe, loving home before she gets too sick, so she can know I'll always be cared for.

I'm happiest living indoors where I can keep an eye on my people. I have free run of the house, sleep right on the bed with my human, and I'm not used to being left alone for more than about four hours. I'm affectionate, gentle, confident, and always ready to snuggle. I also happen to love being groomed, so spa days are definitely my thing!

I'm an AKC Canine Good Citizen, and while my hearing isn't what it used to be, I still understand routines and enjoy spending time with my people. I'm food motivated, so a tasty treat goes a long way in getting my attention.

I've never lived with children, other dogs, or cats. Cats look like something fun to chase, and when I meet unfamiliar dogs, I can be unsure of them. I may bark or growl until we've been properly introduced, and I don't appreciate another dog trying to mount me. I also have a sensitive spot on my right hip, so I'd appreciate a family that handles me gently and respects my boundaries.

My ideal home would probably be with a loving couple or individual who wants a loyal companion to share quiet days, leisurely walks, and cozy evenings. If you're looking for a devoted little shadow with years of love still to give, I just might be your perfect match. I promise to fill your home with companionship, cuddles, and the kind of unconditional love only an old soul like me can offer.

Hi, I'm Lollie, a 12-year-old Terrier/Chihuahua mix with a big heart packed into my little 12-pound body. My mom has loved me for the past 10 years, but she's losing her housing and can no longer keep me. Her greatest wish is to find me a safe, loving home—but there's one very important request: I'd really love to stay with my best friend, Adastra aka Addy. We've shared our lives together, and having each other makes new places feel a little less scary.

I'm a sweet, gentle girl who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and people. I can be a little shy when meeting new people, especially men, but once I feel comfortable, I'm a devoted companion who loves to stay close to my person. If you're looking for a loyal little shadow, I might be exactly who you've been searching for.

I'm house trained, crate trained, and well-mannered. I know commands like come, go lay down, and crate. I can climb stairs, hop in and out of the car on my own, and I'm perfectly content spending a normal workday relaxing at home while you take care of your day. I have a couple of medical issues that the kind folks at SDRO have helped me with. I have an enlarged heart so I now take Vetmedin and Furosimide to keep me feeling great. I also need some prescription food to keep my liver in check. No big deal on these things!! I am full of life and energy, and you would never know anything is wrong!!! It is good to be aware though so regular vet visits will be important going forward. I had my teeth cleaned too so that is out of the way.

My favorite things are simple: curling up in a warm lap, soaking up belly rubs, and snuggling as much as possible. Even though I'm in my senior years, I still enjoy playing with other dogs, especially my buddy Adastra. I'll even let you know if someone pulls into the driveway—I like to keep an eye on things!

Addy is younger, playful, and still a little unsure of the world. I think having me around gives her confidence, and she helps keep life fun for me, too. We truly bring out the best in each other.

If you have room in your home and heart for two wonderful girls, you'll be rewarded with twice the love, twice the companionship, and the joy of keeping two best friends together. That's all we're hoping for.

Meet Sasha, an absolute sweetheart searching for her forever home! 🐶✨ This adorable American shelter puppy is equal parts cuddly and curious, with soft white-and-black markings and eyes that will melt your heart in an instant. Since she's still a growing pup, we aren't quite sure of her exact breed mix-she's a true mystery blend!-and she could grow up to be a medium-to-large sized dog as an adult. Right now, she's all about soaking up affection, exploring her surroundings, and wiggling with excitement whenever you're near. If you're ready for puppy playfulness, plenty of snuggles, and the fun adventure of watching a sweet mystery mix grow, Sasha is ready to complete your family! 🏠💖

CALLIE HAS BEEN WAITING ALMOST 1½ YEARS.💙
Somewhere out there is CallieMagoo’s person. We know it. We just need to help them find each other.💙
Callie is a fun-loving, incredibly smart 4-year-old girl with plenty of energy, a huge personality, and one very important priority in life: being with her human. She wants to learn, work, play, explore and be part of your world.
She loves leisurely sniff-filled walks, rolling in the grass, brain games, fetch, and working for her food. She can cuddle, too — but this girl is definitely not looking for a couch-potato lifestyle!
Callie has worked incredibly hard during her time with OFOSA. She’s completed extensive basic and secondary training and continues to improve. Even better, **her trainer will help her transition into her new home** so her adopter won’t be doing this alone.
🐾 Potty trained & crate trained
🐾 Knows kennel, sit, leave it, heel, place, free & down
🐾 Loves people and is extremely loyal
🐾 Spayed, microchipped & vaccinated
🐾 Smart, eager to please and ready to keep learning
 
Callie’s perfect home is a little more specific — and that’s okay. She needs a securely fenced yard with tall fencing because a squirrel sighting can apparently activate her four-foot vertical launch system. 😂 No apartments for this girl!
 
She would likely be happiest as the only dog, although she can do well with larger dogs. Small dogs and cats are not a good fit. Her adopter also needs to be committed to continuing the training and enrichment that help this smart, active girl thrive.
 
After nearly 18 months in our care, Callie deserves to finally hear the words, “You’re home."
Could you be her person? Or do you know someone who might be?
Visit the Available Dogs link in our bio and complete the Dog Adoption Application. Her foster mom will be in touch.
 
Please share Callie. Her perfect adopter may simply not have seen her yet — and one share could change everything for this very special girl. 🐾
Adopt Some Love!
She is very loyal. She knows: Kennel, Sit, Leave it, Heal, Place, free and down. Loves to play fetch tho doesn't always give back the item so have more then one ready. She must have a securely fenced yard so NO Apartments! To meet her fill out the Dog Adoption Application on OFOSA.ORG and her foster mom will be in touch with you. Her adoption fee is $340.

"THE REFRESHMENTS" **CUTIES**!! CHIHUAHUA MIX PUPPIES "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

"THE REFRESHMENTS"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption $500  Breed: Chihuahua Mix

male and female currently 6 weeks (woll be under 15 lbs when grown) - taking applications now

Housetrained - No

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

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Funny, Playful

 https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application

 

The Refreshments, our chihuahua mix litter, were recently in for their 6-week check-ups and vaccines. Which means one thing: these Refreshments will be ready to be served, ahem, adopted NEXT WEEK after they are spayed and neutered this weekend. If you've been on the lookout for a tiny canine companion, may we suggest you consider applying?

The puppies will likely be under 15 pounds fully grown; their mom (Marcie, soon to also be adoptable!) is only 10 pounds. By the time of their adoption, the puppies will have had 2 rounds of vaccines, will have been altered and will be current on flea and heartworm preventatives.

We think nothing is more refreshing than puppy breath. 

========================================== 
Tito (male) is an old soul trapped in a tiny puppy. He can't decide if he likes snuggling or playing more.

 =====================================

Zuko (male) is equal parts adventurous and funny.



 ==================================

Bellini (female) may be the smallest, but don't tell her that. She's set on conquering the world with sass and playfulness.

===========================================


Amaretto (female) loves life so much that you can literally see her smiling.




"JUNE" WEIMARANER/German Shorthaired Pointer mix "OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE"

 

"JUNE" is Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE

CURRENT LOCATION:  Tigard, Oregon

JUNE Weimaraner/Labrador, spayed female,  3 yrs 65 lbs ADOPTION FEE: $400

BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:

CHILDREN:  yes

CATS:  unknown

DOGS: Possibly ok with males

 

June is a sweet and loving 3-year-old 65 pound female Weimaraner/German Shorthaired Pointer mix who would make a wonderful addition to the right family. She is a friendly, family-oriented girl who does great with both adults and children and loves being around her people.  

Right now June enjoys getting her exercise in the backyard.  However, she really needs much more activity.  She has had limited access to being out in the world and would benefit from a family that would get her the activity and socialization that a young Weim needs.  She does ok on walks with a harness and leash but would benefit from some additional leash training. She is house-trained and knows several commands, including sit, lay down, and gentle. She loves treats and is very gentle when taking them from your hand.

When meeting new people, June can be a little excited and hyper at first, but she is friendly and affectionate. She will also let you know when someone is at the door with a bark, making her a good little watchdog.

Unfortunately, June is being rehomed because her older female housemate and her are not getting along.  Because of that we believe June may do best in a home where she is the only dog. She has never been around cats, so her compatibility with cats is unknown.

She can get a little nervous during fireworks, but otherwise she is a happy, loving girl who enjoys relaxing with her family. One of her favorite things is a good resin bone—and, of course, treats!

June is intact and will need to be spayed once adopted into her new home.  OWR will cover the cost of the surgery.

June is looking for a loving forever home where she can be the center of attention and give her family all the love she has to offer. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, family-friendly companion, June could be your girl!  Please complete an application if you are interested in June.
