"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.


 

"CARTER" Med_sz PITMIX **ok KIDS, DOGS* "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON "

  "CARTER"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 


CARTER 

Breed: Terrier, Pit Bull / Mix  11 yrs 48 lbs
 neutered male
  $180
 
*Crate trained
*Housetrained
*Not Good with Cats
*Good with Dogs
*Good with Kids
*Needs a fenced yard

Meet Carter!

Carter is a handsome 11-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix (about 50 pounds) with a gentle soul who is once again searching for the forever home he deserves. He was recently adopted and deeply loved, but through no fault of his own, his adopter developed serious health issues and could no longer care for him. Carter is currently being boarded while he waits for his second chance, and we'd love nothing more than to see him back in a home where he belongs.

This sweet boy is house-trained, leash-trained, and crate-trained. He's done well around children and has attended doggy daycare with 10–14 other dogs at a time without any problems. While he enjoys the company of other dogs in structured settings, he may be happiest as the only dog in the home where he can soak up all the attention. Carter is not a good fit for a home with cats.

Carter has a little arthritis in his hips, so marathon hikes aren't on his wish list. Instead, he'd much rather play a game of fetch, sniff around a fenced yard, and then settle in for a long nap under his favorite blankets. He absolutely loves being cozy and is happiest wearing his sweater most of the day.

He can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but once he trusts you, his affectionate and loyal personality shines. Like many dogs, he appreciates being left alone while he's sleeping.

Carter rides well in the car (he especially enjoys RV adventures!), has excellent house manners, and is simply looking for someone to share life's quieter moments with.

After losing his home through circumstances no one could control, Carter deserves the stability and love of a family committed to giving him the happy ending he's been waiting for. If you're looking for a mellow, devoted companion with a heart full of love, Carter is ready to meet you.
