"PANCHI" **CUTIE** HUSKY mix PUPPY "STUMPtOWN STRAYS"

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Funny, Playful, Smart

 

Panchi, our 3 month old shepsky mix, is outrageously cute. Which is great because, oh man, is this guy annoying. He's a prime example of why you've gotta be crazy to adopt a puppy. But for the right crazy person, Panchi is going to be a fabulous dog (one day).

Found stray with a broken leg, we took in Panchi to help him heal. We think Panchi's leg healed in rapid time just to try and keep up with the rest of him. He's got 4 fully functional legs now and Panchi's ready to bring on the havoc.

Panchi is already crate and potty trained and eager to learn more. Very food motivated and smart, it's not hard to train Panchi. Which is perfect because he needs it. He's great with both dogs and cats and has never met a person or kid he didn't immediately love. Panchi comes equipt with a really good attitude; he's always in a good mood and brings the party with him.

If Panchi sees it, he bites it. Not in an aggressive way, but in a mouthy, sharp "holy crap is this a puppy or a shark" kind of way. He's learning re-direction and manners but his adopter needs to be prepared for tiny puncture wounds as he figures out how to dog. The husky genes in our Panchi are strong; if he's not getting his way, he can howl like a pack of hyenas. As he's learning how to regulate his feelers, maybe a thin walled apartment wouldn't be a good fit.

Panchi is microchipped, neutered and up to date on his vaccines and preventatives. He'll need vaccines every 3 weeks until he's 16 weeks old, so his adopter should make those appointments now. Until he's fully vaccinated, Panchi should not go to dog parks. But he absolutely should enroll in classes now. We sound like a broken record, but don't adopt a puppy unless you want to train it.

Panchi's adoption fee is $300. We expect him to be about 50 pounds fully grown.

Getting through the mouthy, vocal, tornado phase of puppihood is not for the weak. But a puppy as sweet and cuddly as Panchi makes it all worth it in the end. Want to be the one to help Panchi grow up?

adoption application

We didn’t plan on having these 6 puppies join us at Stumptown Strays. But a tribal member approached us during a wellness clinic we put on in the villages along the Columbia river and asked if we could take a litter that didn’t have anywhere to go.
They have been with us now for several weeks and are 4 months old! These are the girls: Moon - 18 pounds & likely to be about 30-40 pounds fully grown, Luna - 15 pounds & likely to be about 25-35 pounds fully grown, Tsunami - 18 pounds & likely to be about 30-40 pounds fully grown, and Sunny - 10 pounds & likely to be about 20-30 pounds fully grown (always educated guesses!) They are a mix between a smaller cattle dog and a husky. See the DNA results in the photos!
Thanks to the 15/10 Foundation for covering their care in its entirety, we were able to get the whole litter spayed and neutered as well as vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. The 15/10 Foundation has also sponsored a training class for each puppy - up to $400 value! Taking advantage of this offer will be a requirement for adoption.
The puppies did not have much socialization prior to coming to us, but in their separate foster homes, they are blossoming. Although shy and contemplative at first, the puppies are friendly and great with other animals. They have been working on meeting new people and on basic dog skills. They have not all mastered potty training but are very smart and motivated to learn. They have been crate trained and are working on leash skills.
All of the puppies will need an adopter willing to continue to work on their skills. Their foster homes have set them all up for success, but ongoing classes and training will be a must. They promise to make it fun! Their adoption fee is $300.
Some of the best things in life are unplanned, and so we were happy we could help this litter. Have you been thinking about expanding your dog family? Apply to adopt on our website! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application

"BARBARA" *PETITE**SHEPHerD/Husky mix **CATS, kids, DOGS** "StuMptOWN STRAYS"


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

"BARBARA"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

BARBARA adoption $250  Breed:Siberian Husky & Shepherd Mix    spayed female 3 yr 46 lb

ok with Dogs, OK with Cats. ok with kids, housetrained

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Dignified, Friendly, Independent

Barbara, our 3 year old 46 pound husky (shepherd)mix, doesn't want you to be intimidated by her Paul Hollywood eyes. Sure, they are so blue that you immediately want to check your pastry for a soggy bottom, but Barbara isn't here to judge you. She just wants to meet your cat and cuddle up with you on the couch.


Barbara was found stray with a shoelace imbedded tightly around her neck. She needed time to heal from that deep wound so we happily took her in. Now recovered, Barbara is finally ready for adoption.

If given a choice, Barbara's best friends would be cats. She often tries to convince them to play; if uninterested, Barbara will gaze lovingly at them instead. Barbara is tolerant of dogs but they aren't as exciting to her as cats. She would do well with another laid back dog who mostly ignored her.

 Barbara is house trained and respectful. She hates the crate, but can be trusted to be left out for a short amount of time. Barbara struggles with being alone for more than a few hours though. Although she typically only destroys stuffies, she'll start to get vocal if she's lonely and it takes her a while to come down from that anxiety. We put Barbara on fluoxetine (Prozac) to help with her separation anxiety. We recommend she stay on this for at least 6 months after adoption.


Barbara would thrive with an active family. She loves walks and hikes and adventures. Barbara is also very smart and wants to please her people. Like most dogs, Barbara is happiest with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. After trekking, Barbara is good at relaxing on a bar patio with friends or on the couch to watch a movie. Barbara has done very well with older kids. She does guard her food from other animals. Although we've not seen Barbara guard food from people, it is for this reason we don't recommend small kids in her home.


Barbara is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. Her adoption fee is $250.

Does your cat not mind being lovingly gazed at? Are you confident enough with your baking skills to not be intimidated by a Paul Hollywood stare?


 

"ZIA" **Unique** CORGI/SHEPHERD?mix PUP "STUMPtOWN STRAYS

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

"ZIA"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

ZIA  adoption $0  Breed: Shepherd mix, spayed female 8 mth, 40 lbs

ok with Dogs, Ok with Cats,  No kids

Zia is microchipped and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. 

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Curious, Friendly, Loyal, Playful

Zia, our 8 month old 40 pound puppy, was found stray. Suspected to be a shepherd mix, Zia has short, chubby legs; perhaps there's a corgi in her family? Zia's heritage was not her only mystery. We also had to figure out why she was limping.

When we took in Zia, we diagnosed her with fractures of both of her shin bones. However, as the fractures healed, Zia didn't seem to get much better. After consulting with a specialist, we found out that Zia's main source of pain was hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia causes the ball of the hip to pop out of the socket. Thanks to the @15/10Foundation for covering Zia's care in its entirety, we were able to have Zia's hips surgically corrected. Further, Zia's adoption fee, her first training class, and her medications are also all completely covered!



Zia is a playful, sweet puppy who is wickedly smart. She is food motivated, crate trained, potty trained and quiet in the house, Zia really strives to be a good girl. She's also a puppy who needs guidance and ongoing training. Zia hasn't quite mastered leash manners, for example. Since she's only been alive for 8 months, we'll cut her some slack.

Due to her history of painful hips, Zia can sometimes guard her back end. If she's feeling unsure about sudden touches to her hips, Zia may snap. We put Zia on prozac for this stress and continued her pain medications. She's also had multiple sessions of rehab. It's been fun to see Zia improve so much! She loves to cuddle (especially belly rubs) and really bonds with her people. When she's reunited with a friend, Zia throws her head back in a happy howl and wags her tail so hard it sometimes knocks her over.


Zia has been good with other dogs and dog savvy cats, but she's still learning not toguard her food. Because of this, we don't recommend kids in Zia's home. Her housemates should be patient; living with a puppy isn't always a walk in the park.

Zia is microchipped and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives.Are you willing to give a very deserving puppy a chance for a happy life?
