 If you're looking for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, look no further than our sweet lass, Jane! 🌈 At 1.5 years old, {listed as 6 yrs 1mth }this lovely girl is the perfect mix of youthful spirit and gentle soul. 🍀 While she might act a bit like a protective garden gnome when she's behind a kennel door or a fence-showing a little "barrier reactivity" at first-don't let that fool you; it's just her way of making sure the coast is clear! 🇮🇪 Once you trade a "top o' the morning" for a proper introduction, her true colors shine through like a bright sunny day in Dublin. ✨ Jane is incredibly sweet and remarkably gentle, preferring quiet chin scratches and loyal companionship over a rowdy parade. 🐾 She's a sensitive clover who just needs a patient family to help her feel secure, and in return, she'll be the luckiest charm you've ever found! 🐶

Breed: Australian Cattle Dog / Australian Shepherd $200

***This pet is in foster, you won't find them at the shelter

 
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.

Once I warm up, I'm an active dog! I would love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures.

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!

I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor.

He's looking for a home with a large, fenced-in yard where he can let loose and burn off his famous "happy zooms."

He just has so much joy, he's still learning how to channel it! If you're ready for a handsome, high-octane best friend to grow with, Tom is your guy. 💥💖

*foster home* 
 
Meet Xanadu, a 10-month-old German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix 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! 🎡✨

Fostered in  Portland, Oregon  APPLY TO ADOPT HAYSTACK ON OUR WEBSITE: WWW.AGAVEDOGS.ORG
 
Gentle, Dignified, Friendly, Loyal, Protective
 
 We saw that Haystack had been sitting in a California shelter since September 2024 and were stunned. Despite his long stint in a crowded, loud shelter, Haystack was a staff favorite and managed to not go kennel crazy. He is an easy going guy even with the stress of the shelter and we knew in our hearts that we wanted to be his positive outcome.

- Approximately 85 pounds and likely around 6 years old.  Possibly a Great Pyrenees mix. He has the double rear dew claws that the breed often has. 



- Medium to lower energy level. Haystack is pretty happy to lounge around the house and nap with a daily walk. 


 Good on leash and doesn't pull much. He is not reactive to other dogs on leash and really enjoys his walks.
 Fostered with kids ages 13 and 15 and does well with them. He warmed up to the kids in his foster home quickly. We do not know how he would do around younger kiddos.

- Good with other dogs. He's happy to interact and hang out with other dogs. We have not seen him with small dogs yet. He has a second dog that visits his foster dog and he does well sharing the home with another dog. He has a nice, appropriate play style with other dogs despite his size. He will match their comfort level during play.

 - No cats. Unfortunately he does have a prey drive towards cats.

- Have not seem him around livestock or poultry.

- Crate trained- Potty trained

- Rides well in the car and loads up all on his own.

Haystack is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, dewormed, microchipped and current on fleat/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee includes a free wellness exam to one of our partner veterinary clinics in Portland, Milwaukie, Oregon City or Tualatin.

"REIGN" DOBERMAN "AGAVE RESCUE" Portland, OR

 "REIGN" AVAILABLE for ADOPTION with "AGAVE RESCUE" 

www.agavedogs.org  

REIGN petfinder.com   

REIGN spayed female, aprx3yrs 50 lbs ( 55 lb ideal wt) Doberman  Good in home with dogs, kids...no cats  adoption $150
Fostered in SE Portland, Oregon 
 
Reign is a stunning blue female Doberman who we rescued out of a California shelter after she had been there over a month. Reign was very neglected and underweight. We are working on showing her the good life in foster and helping her gain weight!
 
 55 pounds but needs to gain another 5 pounds Approximately 3 years old (this is an estimate by our vet)

Adores both men and women. She even climbs into her foster dad's lap for cuddles and falls asleep. Total Velcro dog with the typical Doberman lean into you. She can be reserved with strangers and may bark a few times intially. This is pretty typical Doberman behavior. She warms up quickly with treats. Be a human treat dispenser and within about 5 minutes Reign becomes friendly with new people. 


- Dog selective and needs slow introductions. Does best with calmer dogs who also enjoy playing. She is fostered with a female Shepherd mix and her foster family did slow introductions the first few days and now both dogs are good friends, playing and even sleeping cuddled up together. If you have a dog social dog and are willing to invest the time into a gradual introduction, Reign can live with another dog in harmony.

- No cats. She does seem to have a prey drive.


- Great mix of energy when you want it and the ability to relax and settle into the home when you want to have a more chill day.

- Huge food drive. This may be in part to Reign's starvation state but she is very food motivated and a fast eater. A slow feeder bowl really helps her to slow down at meal times. She does need boundaries around food with people and other dogs as she tries to gobble what food she can get. Her foster family feeds her in her crate during their meal times so that she enjoys her own food while they are eating theirs. Her food drive makes her super fun to train though! She loves learning and is very motivated to work for you with treats.

- Good with gentle kids and fostered with kids ages 7+ years old. We are recommending kids ages 7+ if there are kids in the home. 

- Very much loves soft beds, blankies and a cozy indoor life. She will appreciate sweaters and jackets to keep her warm during cold Oregon months. Dobermans have thin coats and don't generally appreciate the rain. 



- Sleeps in her crate at night and does well with that. It can take her a couple minutes to settle but she then sleeps through the night.



- Perfect potty habits in foster so far

- Good on leash but does seem interested in chasing cars that pass. Her foster family is working on this tendency since they live in a high traffic area. Reign wears a prong collar and that has helped immensely with her pulling. She can be a strong puller, but the prong collar has been a game changer for her to walk easy on leash.

Reign is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Milwaukie, Portland or Tualatin.  $150 adoption fee
