Meet Sweet Potato! 🍠 This enthusiastic, happy Lab mix is a social butterfly who is famously food-motivated (he'll do anything for a snack! 🦴) and loves a good game of fetch! If you have a tennis ball and a pocket full of treats, you've found a best friend for life, but please note he is a very strong dog who pulls hard on the leash, particularly when he spots small animals or small dogs, which has unfortunately led to him being returned previously. Sweet Potato thrives as an active playmate and expert couch-cuddler and has shown some discomfort interacting with younger children (infants and toddlers particularly), so a home with kids 8-years and up is recommended for this sweetie. 🐾 Ready to add some sweetness to your home? 🏠🧡

*foster home* 

 Meet Xanadu, a 10-month-old Australian Cattle Dog {???}who is essentially a lightning bolt wrapped in blue fur! ⚡ At just under a year old, she is a high-octane athlete with a heart of gold and a serious obsession with anything round and fuzzy. If you have a tennis ball in your hand, you are officially the most important person in her universe! 🎾 She doesn't just play fetch; she lives for the "job" of retrieving, and her focus is nothing short of legendary. When she isn't mid-sprint, she is a social butterfly who is genuinely thrilled to meet new people, greeting every stranger like a long-lost best friend. 🌟 Being a young Cattle Dog, Xanadu is a "work hard, play hard" kind of girl who hasn't quite mastered the art of the leisurely stroll yet. Currently, she views a leash as a harness for a sled-she pulls hard with the determination of someone who has places to be and balls to find! 🏃‍♀️ She will need an active adopter who is ready to work on her leash manners and provide the mental and physical exercise this brilliant breed craves. If you're looking for a smart, spunky, and intensely loyal partner for hiking, training, and endless games of fetch, Xanadu is ready to bring some "magic" to your world! 🎡✨

This goofy, high-energy guy is the ultimate adventure partner, perfect for an active family that enjoys long hikes followed by some serious backyard zoomies.

If you're a family with a love for the outdoors and a little extra room for a loyal, treat-motivated sidekick, Chase is ready to sprint right into your heart.

While she's already mastered the art of the treat-catch, she's looking for an active partner to help her navigate the world through positive reinforcement (a total breeze when cookies are involved!). If you're searching for a high-energy sidekick for hikes, play sessions, and post-adventure cuddles, Meeka is ready to be your loyal, snack-motivated shadow. 🎾✨

"PRANCER" *Foster home* gorgeous CHESTNUT-Brindle PITBULL * *calm home* "OHS_ Portland"

 "PRANCERAVAILABLE FOR Adoption at Oregon Humane Society  in PORTLAND

PRANCER Available 1/21/2025   #342165 $450 spayed female

"Looks like" American Pit Bull spayed female 10 mths 58 lbs

*Foster home*

 courtesy foster home

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I can be shy at first, but I warm up quickly and will want to play once I get comfortable!
  • When I get excited, I can get the zoomies and sometimes can be a bit rowdy... It's something I'm working on, but I may do best in a home without younger children or people that may easily be knocked over.
  • I'm smart and love to learn! I'm hoping that whoever takes me home will continue working with me so I can grow to become the amazing companion dog I'm destined to be.
  • I love to be around people! I'd make a great buddy for curling up on the couch to watch a movie.
  • 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.
  • 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.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I love other dogs but if your resident dog does not like to wrestle and box then we probably aren't the best match.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted


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.
