πŸ’– Meet Midas! (ID# 395618) Breed: Bull Terrier Mix Age: Young Adult Weight: Medium / Large House Manners: Good on leash, polite in the home Kids: 8+ Dog/Cat Status: Friendly with dogs of all sizes & cat-tested (ignores cats)! 🌟
 
 The Golden Boy of Foster Care Don't let his distinguished "Bull Terrier" nose fool you-Midas is an absolute marshmallow! While the shelter environment was a little overwhelming for his sensitive soul, Midas is currently thriving in a foster home, and his true personality is shining bright. His foster reports that he is a polite, quiet, and gentle gentleman who walks nicely on a leash, loves to cuddle, and is respectful indoors. He is still learning what traditional dog toys are for, but if you give him a paper bag to shred, he is in absolute bliss!
 
 πŸΆ Social Butterfly (With Dogs & Cats!) If you're looking for a dog who loves making four-legged friends, Midas is your guy! Dogs: Midas was a superstar in shelter playgroups and loves playing with dogs of all sizes-big or small! He loves play bows, wrestling, and running around with buddy dogs. Cats: He has been living around cats in his foster home and has done great! People: Midas is an "affection addict." He is famous for his famous submissive "teethy smile" when he's happy, leaning his whole body into your legs for pets, and curling up like a lap dog the second you sit down. 🏑 Ideal Home & Next Steps Midas is a sensitive, sweet boy who responds best to a gentle, loving touch. Because he can get a little timid in high-stress or chaotic environments, he would do best in a home with kids ages 8 and up who can respect his gentle nature.

SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON

MOOSE  Retriever, Labrador neutered male,  10 yrs 100 lbs  $180

Good with Dogs
Good with Kids
Housetrained
Good with Cats
 
 
Hello there! My name is Moose, and I'm just about the most lovable 100 pounds of Labrador you'll ever meet! I'm 10 years old and with my golden coat and soulful eyes, I'm here to bring some sunshine into your life. I'm a gentle giant, always friendly and relaxed. As a pup I enjoyed being at home with other puppy pals and children too! I've got this mellow vibe that makes me the perfect companion for those who appreciate the quieter, softer side of life.

I'm happy taking leisurely walks and I'm house trained, so no need to worry about any messes. Plus, I'm pretty smart, if I do say so myself, which means I'm quick to learn your routine. My favorite things include belly rubs, lounging around the house, and just being around my people. Oh, did I mention I'm an expert at finding the coziest spot in the house? I'm always up for extra cuddles. I'd love to find my fur-ever family so I can be spoiled with affection through my golden years. I still have lots of love to give!

If you're looking for a big, sweet, and gentle companion, I'm your guy. You have to see my big smile for yourself, I really know how to light up the room. Let's make some beautiful memories together-adopt me, and let's start our next adventure!
 






 

 

"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.

Meet Nelson, a handsome, active, and fun-loving guy who is ready to find his perfect adventure partner! Nelson is a certified superstar in our doggy playgroups-he is incredibly dog-friendly, amazingly tolerant of different playstyles, and a master at "reading the room" before offering goofy play bows and rolling around on his back with his pup pals. πŸ•
 
🐾 Once he bonds with his people, he is pure mush, happily leaning in for deep cuddles and rolling over for sweet belly rubs. ❤️ Because he is a young, athletic boy with a lot of exuberant energy, he can get a bit jumpy and mouthy when he is excited.
 
 He is looking for an active, patient home with handlers who can continue to guide his training, and a home where any kids are ages 12 and up to match his big, bouncy personality. 🏑 Nelson is so ready to leave the shelter behind and start his next great chapter by your side!
