What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • Despite my cute, cuddly size, I want the cuddling to be on my terms, as I don't always want to be fussed over.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I may do best with an owner who has had experience owning or caring for shy and fearful dogs.
  • It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.

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.

"ISLA" *Foster home* Yellow LAB MIX PUPPY *MED- sz* *green-brown- eyes* "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

 Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance.

"ISLA"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

ISLA  plus FB video adoption $400  Breed: Lab Mix

5mths 20 lbs and growing spayed female  

ok with Dogs - Yes, Cats -dog savvy,  Kids- unknown (older)

adoption application

 

 Isla, our 20 pound 5 month old lab mix, missed out on a bit of puppy-hood. When she should have been practicing zoomies, Isla was instead confined to her crate. For a good reason, though. Isla was surrendered after she sustained a fractured elbow. Thanks to the 15/10 Foundation for covering Isla’s care in its entirety, we were able to take her in and have her leg surgically repaired. Isla’s finally allowed to romp and play, which is the perfect time to find a home.

 
Isla is a sweet, playful, active puppy. We don’t know her mix, but based on her current size, we expect her to be about 40 pounds or so fully grown. She is crate trained, is potty trained and is learning all the other puppy skills. She is sweet, smart and motivated to learn.
At her foster home, Isla loves other dogs. She plays pretty hard, so a patient and playful dog roommate would be best. Isla has been fostered with cats, but she would like to play with them too. A dog savvy cat could work. She’s moderately mouthy (not unusual for a puppy her age), so little kids may find her annoying.
 
Isla does well out and about. She happily snoozes under a patio table. On the weekends, Isla loves snuggling and sleeping in with her people.
All puppies need ongoing socialization and training. To make it easier for Isla’s adopter, the 15/10 Foundation is covering her initial training (a $1000 dollar value)! Signing up for training will be a requirement for her adoption. Isla will make it fun by being the prettiest and smartest one in class.
 
Isla is spayed and is current on her vaccines and flea and heartworm preventatives. Her adoption fee is $400.
Having to heal for 2 months out of puppy-hood is a bummer. But having 4 perfect legs to party with? Worth it. Apply to adopt on our website today! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application

"MR GOODBAR aka ALEX" *Foster home* CHIHUAHUA mix "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance.

"MR GOODBAR aka ALEX"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

MG/ALEX adoption $200  Breed: Chihuahua Mix

8 yrs 11 lbs neutered male  Housetrained: Yes

ok with Dogs - Yes, Cats -Yes,  Kids- unknown (older)

adoption application

 
Mr Goodbar, our 8 year old 10 pound chihuahua-mix, is pretty proud of his DNA results. Yes, he’s nearly all chihuahua, but his test also indicates that Mr Goodbar is 9% Pomeranian. Since learning this, Mr Goodbar has been teasing his hair up. Do us a favor? Tell him he looks extra fluffy when you meet him.

Found stray, the county shelter asked us to help Mr Goodbar with his dental disease. We took him in, cleaned his teeth, and extracted several painful molars. Now healed (and neutered!), Mr Goodbar can get to the business of finding a home.
 
A real charmer, Mr Goodbar is an easy house guest. He is good in his crate, is 98% potty trained (he did mark an indoor plant a couple of times, but we can see why that’s confusing), and mostly quiet. Mr Goodbar loves other dogs and likes to meet them both on and off leash. He’s also been respectful of the cats that he’s met.
 
When we first met Mr Goodbar, he was terrified to walk on a leash. His foster family has taught him that outings are fun, and Mr Goodbar is really getting the hang of adventures. In the house, Mr Goodbar is easily entertained with squeaky toys. He’s learned to sit and he’ll spin around for attention when he’s excited. 
 
The one thing Mr Goodbar doesn’t like is being picked up suddenly. That’s understandable, but because of this sensitivity, we don’t recommend small kids in his new home. Mr Goodbar’s ideal adopter will be gentle and active. Mr Goodbar likes to explore and having a buddy to do that with would be great. Although initially a little insecure, Mr Goodbar is a very sweet and friendly guy once he realizes he’s safe. 
 
Mr Goodbar is heartworm negative and is current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. His adoption fee is $250.
Have you been looking for a chihuahua with just a drop of fancy? How about one who’ll dance for you when you come home? Apply to adopt on our website today! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application
