" DOGS for ADOPTION!!" WASHINGTON COUNTY SHELTER "-Hillsboro, OR

 BONNIE HAYS SHELTER - WASHINGTON CO SHELTER, Hillsboro , OR

 "We have some very sweet dogs at our shelter who need homes! You’ll find a short profile about each dog with their photo.

To learn more about any of these cuties or to schedule a meet-and-greet, call our shelter team at 503-846-7039. Scheduling a time to meet these dogs helps us ensure staff are available to assist you when you come in. We are closed to the public on weekends, but feel free to call anytime and please leave a message if needed. 

The adoption fee is $200 and includes a one-year Washington County dog license. All dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and have received basic vaccinations, dewormer and flea prevention.
Reuniting stray pets with their families remains our goal whenever possible. When we can’t do that, we look at what options are available for adoptable animals. These options include transfer to a partner organization for eventual adoption, direct adoption to the person who found the pet and brought them to our shelter, or direct adoption to another community member. 
 
A positive outcome is the goal for these dogs, whether through direct adoption from our shelter or transfer to one of our amazing partners. Thank you for your continued support!"

Meet Lennox, a handsome, 60-pound sweetheart who is equal parts playful goofball and oversized lap dog! He loves nothing more than carrying around his favorite toys, chasing tennis balls across the yard, and bounding into silly play bows. Once he knows you, he is all wiggles-he'll happily lean in for chest rubs, snuffle your ear, and try to crawl right into your lap for snuggles. Lennox is also a very smart pup who gently takes treats and already knows "sit," "shake," and "down." He prefers to pick and choose his canine pals, so he'd love being your main man or could do well with a playful female dog match. If you're looking for a fun, toy-loving companion with tons of love to give, Lennox is your guy! 

poor guy, was scared

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I am a sweet and sensitive boy who takes a little time to build trust and make friends.
  • Giddy-up! The staff here call me a pony because I like to stand on my hind legs for easier access to pets.
  • I love nothing more than to be held close and snuggled.
  • I had so much fun meeting another dog here in the shelter. My friends at OHS think I would be great at making new dog friends!
  • I have bilateral dislocation of my shoulders. This is most likely a congenital condition but will require long term medical management with your veterinarian.
  • To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • I am part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I need to go to a home where there is another dog to help boost my confidence and to play with!
  • I must go to a home with a fenced in yard.
  • 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.
