  • We are sweet and sensitive girls who take a little time to build trust and make friends.
  • All we need is a soft warm place to lay, and to be told we are the goodest girls.
  • We are still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. We need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help us!
  • Shy and Nervous: We can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. We prefer to take things at our own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.

"OLLIE" Little SPANIEL mix - from emaciated/abuse to glowing! "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

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

"OLLIE"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption $300  Breed:  Spaniel mix 

Neutered male 1 yr 20 lbs  Housetrained: yes

ok with Dogs - Yes,  Cats -yes,   Kids- No

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Funny, Playful, Curious, Loves Kisses

adoption application

 

Ollie, our 1 year old 20 pound spaniel mix, is loving being a dog. No thanks to the person who left him starved in a kennel by the side of the road. We're trying to forget this and have given up our attempt to track this person down. Turns out, we're better at fixing dogs than we are at vigilante justice. Instead, we'll work on completing Ollie's revenge tour by finding him a home.

When Ollie was found, he was only 11 pounds. He was so weak he couldn't stand; instead he would scoot like a worm toward people to try and get some affection. His treatment was time and food. Now Ollie is a party animal and the days of scooting are behind him.

Ollie is a very playful, active young dog. He's been camping (loved it), hiking (rave reviews), and is a fan of long walks. Ollie is even getting the hang of little jogs. He loves a squeaky toy, even though the squeaker may be quickly dissected out. At home, Ollie is great with other dogs and is respectful of the cats.

Ollie is good when left alone (in a crate or in a room) and is not destructive. He is nearly potty trained, but has marked in his foster home. Now that Ollie is neutered, this behavior should continue to improve. Ollie is not leash reactive and likes meeting other dogs when out and about.

Ollie is a very cuddly, friendly dog. However, it may take him a few moments to warm up. Ollie has mild stranger danger and will bark at new people entering his space. Once he realizes the stranger has food, Ollie will happily show them where the valuables are kept. Ollie seems especially nervous about kids; we recommend a child-free home for Ollie.

adoption application

 The Potato Puppies, our 6-week-old Shepherd-Husky mixes, were orphaned at just hours old and the shelter reached out to us for help. All hands were on deck for the first month as several volunteers took turns bottle feeding the group. We're so grateful to those who gave up sleep and we're so proud of the Potatoes for growing into healthy, funny, playful, fluffy puppies.

Ruffles, Samosa, Jojo, Crinkle and Aloo are our girls. Pierogi and Chip are our boys. We suspect they will be big dogs when fully grown (see their DNA mix!). The Potatoes will be ready for adoption after they are spayed/neutered on July 25th.

All puppies need vaccines every 3 weeks until they are 16 weeks old. All puppies also need training and socialization. The adopters of our Potatoes will need to be prepared to sign them up for obedience classes and to make several veterinary appointments to continue their vaccines.

The puppies will have been dewormed and will be current on their flea and heartworm preventatives by the time of adoption.

If you've been hoping to raise a big ol' fluffy puppy this summer, apply to adopt!
