"Osprey" has been waiting 4 months in a shelter kennel...She is said to be very affectionate, and a volunteer favorite.
The dogs at Clackamas Co shelter have a harder time getting adopted since recent budget cuts closed the shelter on Saturdays.
The
longer stays are tough on dogs! Please consider taking some time on a Tues
thru Friday 1:00-4:00 pm to visit with one of the adoptable dogs!
Fill out our adoption application. There is a $10 application fee due at
the time of submission. Please apply on our website and we will contact
you. If you’re applying from out of state to adopt a dog, please note
that it is a requirement that you come meet the dog at our facility.
Adoptions are available by appointment only. We will call you as soon as
your approved adoption application is next in our queue. Thank you for
your patience and understanding as we find homes for pets as quickly and
efficiently as possible. For more information on the adoption process,
call 503-655-8628 or email dogshelter@clackamas.us.

"OSPREY" Available for Adoption at "CLACKAMAS CO DOG Services"
Shelter ID: 106176 Breed: Siberian Husky spayed female
4 yrs 50 lbs adoption fee $205
Description:
Soft as silk, Osprey will bring more to her future family than meets
the eye! Osprey is a young Siberian Husky lady at about 4 years of age
and weighs about 50lbs, and is looking for a moderately active family to
shower her with all the affection she deserves! Osprey knows that she
is a queen, and is looking for the royal treatment from her new family -
primarily, for her, that means being the only dog in the home. When out
and about for walks, she prefers to not be around other dogs, so asks
for a dog-park free life and an owner who is going to advocate for her
if she encounters another dog while on walks. She isn't over-the-top
about her displeasure with other dogs, but she just doesn't prefer to be
closer than about 5 feet from a strange dog. She will happily and
easily walk on leash (no pulling from her!) and really, really loves her
people. If you're ready to bestow the royal treatment on a new queen,
Osprey can't wait to meet you.

1) Osprey will need an experienced owner who will advocate for her
in situations that make her uncomfortable. She wants a home that
understands that she does NOT want to go to dog parks, dog socials, or
really anywhere that there are likely to be off-leash dogs.
2) Osprey wants to be the only dog in her home. Although she came
into the shelter with a male dog who she tolerates, she really just
would rather have her own space. On walks, if a dog is too close, she
will chatter at them and let it be known that SHE is the boss, so needs
an owner who will make sure to keep her comfortable by not letting other
dogs invade her personal space.
3) We don't know how Osprey will be with cats or other small
animals, so be sure to discuss proper introductions between Osprey and
any resident small animals with your adoption counselor. Huskies are
known to have a higher prey drive, so an experienced owner would be
best.
4) Due to her desire to be the queen of her home, Osprey would
likely do best in a home where any children present are at least 13
years of age. She requests that she be taken on walks by adults who will
advocate for her if she is uncomfortable.

Look through our adoptable dogs to find the perfect match for you and
your family. We assign each dog a breed and do our best to describe the
dog's personality. Please read each dog's profile closely before
applying or coming in. Meets with dogs are set up only when an approved
application is on file and the adopter meets the basic suitability
requirements for a particular dog. We actively seek rescue placement for
our dogs who have medical needs, training needs, or for dogs who just
haven't found their forever home through us. Dogs who are noted to be
"Committed to Rescue" are not currently viewable for adoption, and they
may have a home already through their rescue placement. You are welcome
to fill out an online application for us to pre-approve and keep on
file. Then, when your dream dog comes in, the adoption process will be
much quicker"
"Our
dogs all go home with their spay/neuter completed, microchipped, rabies
vaccinated, DHPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, are heart worm tested,
one month flea/tick preventative applied, and with a 1 year license
included. They also will have their teeth checked and any needed dental
work done prior to going home, too!" CCDS FB
