"BO" *XLARGE* BLUE LovABLE WEIMARANER *friendly, likes dogs* "OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE"

 "BO" is Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE

MEET: BO

Oregon weimaraner FB 3/28/26

Bo had an initial flurry of adoption interest but in the end no match to be made. If you are looking for a big friendly fella to be your cuddle bug this spring, check him out:
 
 current  Location: RUFUS,OR  adoption fee $300

 Weimaraner, neutered male, 6 yrs 115 lb
 (somewhat overweight, but a big boy) 
 BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:

CHILDREN:  5+ (sturdy)

CATS:  Indoor perhaps

DOGS:  Yes 

 

OWNER NOTE:

Bo loves ear, head, belly, and cheek scratches!  His favorite thing seems to be putting his snout in my lap when I sit down and exposing the back of his head for his ears to be scratched.  His ears are so great!  Bo loves to play on the ground.  I have to get down on the ground and he will come and lay down and "wrestle" a bit before he wants his belly rubs.  Bo loves to go on hikes and does not mind 6-8 miles.  He is a great trail companion.  We have had Bo at Lincoln City beach, on and off leash (e collar on), and he is friendly with other dogs and does not engage with close passersby unless given permission.  He is socially great with other humans and is not aggressive with other dogs.  I will absolutely miss him.

Gentle giant Bo is a 6 year old neutered male Weimaraner looking for a new home to call his own. This incredibly friendly fella is very open to approaching/receiving affection from both familiar and unfamiliar humans alike and gets along great with dogs large and small BUT because of his 115# frame he can be a bit much for the petite framed Dachshunds he currently lives/plays with and occasionally steps on by accident. 
 
Though Bo is large in stature, don’t let that fool you into thinking he is fat and lazy as this guy can easily hike 6-8 miles before showing signs of slowing down. Bo has been with his current owner for roughly 9 months after he was taken in following the passing of his very weim experienced and elderly original owners. 
 
What Bo’s current owner did not, and could not, know at the time he took him in was just how much Bo enjoyed chicken, both those left on the counter and more problematically those that reside on the neighboring properties... Although Bo is very much a velcro dog who his owner lovingly describes as “in my back pocket all of the time”, Bo can certainly detach the velcro after a bit of time outdoors so that he can go visit his “friends” the chickens which is understandably causing strains for those involved and Bo’s desire to go visit them is proving stronger than the ability to constrain him. 

Interestingly Bo has grown to accept the housecat through training but he will still give a good chase to any cats which cross into his land outdoors. 

Behaviorally in general his owner is thrilled with Bo as he is wildly loyal and despite being a velcro dog can still be left unattended in the home without issue (so long as the counters are clear). Bo enjoys riding in vehicles, is potty trained, dog door trained, hand signal and e-collar trained in addition to knowing his basic commands

 

If you believe Bo might be the perfect addition to your chicken free and fully fenced home, please submit an application below so that we can reach out :)

Say hello to Subie, a gentle 8-month-old German Shepherd mix who is looking for a patient soul to show him the ropes! This sweet boy is a little more "slow-and-steady" than high-speed, as he's naturally shy and takes a bit of time to feel comfortable with new faces. Once you've earned his trust, however, Subie's loyal heart shines through, making every small milestone feel like a major victory. He's looking for a calm, supportive home where he can build his confidence at his own pace and blossom into the devoted companion he was born to be. 🐾✨🐕‍🦺

"BASIL" CHIWEENIE mix "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

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

"BASIL"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

BASIL adoption $300  Breed: Chiweenie Mix neutered male

2 yrs 15 lbs 

ok with Dogs, Ok with Cats,  OK with Kids

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Smart, Funny, Loves, Friendly


Basil, our 2 year old 15 pound chiweenie, is a snuggling aficionado. He's a fan of couch snuggles, floor snuggles, upside down snuggles and even occasional snuggles with other dogs. Now that Basil doesn't have to lug a splint around anymore, snuggling has become a lot easier. Which also means it's time to find him a permanent snuggle situation.

Found stray and injured, we suspect Basil tried to play in traffic. He had multiple injuries to his pelvis, his left foot, and his penis (especially ouchie). Adding insult to injury, Basil also contracted pneumonia at the shelter. We've had him for several weeks, which was plenty of time to heal and plenty of time for us to fall in love.


Basil is remarkably friendly and has been great with older kids. He was respectful of the dog-savvy cats he met (with some typical chiweenie attempts to chase; quickly thwarted by a hiss) and has been good with dogs in his foster home. Basil hasn't found a dog playmate, and honestly some he has a "take it or leave it" attitude with. But Basil is good at self entertaining and loves a chew session. At home, Basil is potty and crate trained.

If you've ever wanted to immediately know if anyone was walking by your house, Basil is your guy. He's elected himself part of the neighborhood watch and enjoys keeping an eye out the window. For this reason, apartment living may not be ideal for Basil. He loves a walk, but he also likes shouting at other dogs he sees on leash. Basil is food motivated and smart and is learning not to bark. Until he masters this, a quiet neighborhood may be best.

Basil is heartworm negative and current on his preventatives.

Nothing beats a good chiweenie cuddle session. Have you been missing out? 











 

"IVY" *easy-going* SENIOR BLACK LAB *perfect house guest* "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

"IVY"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

IVY adoption $200  Breed:Black LAB   spayed female 10-12 Yrs

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

adoption application

Ivy, our senior 58 pound black lab, could be between 10-12 years old. A lady never reveals her age, especially if she doesn’t know what it is. Anyway, for Ivy, age is just a number. And her number is party (she can’t count)! Ivy’s not ready for retirement, but she is ready for a forever home.
 


Found stray, we took Ivy in to help with an eyelid mass that was causing some discomfort. She’s now healed from that surgery. There’s nothing wrong with a lady getting a little work done to look her best. And Ivy looks beautiful! She’s also had full blood work (all normal) and is in great shape. 

Ivy loves everyone. She’s a tremendously friendly dog who gets along with other dogs, is respectful of cats, and is good on a leash. The only thing she’s ever barked at was a squirrel and, to be fair, that guy had it coming. Ivy is crate trained, but prefers to be left out when her people are gone - she’s not been destructive at all. That is, except for stuffies. Ivy loves a good dissection.

 Her foster family describes Ivy as affectionate, playful, and energetic with a love for tug. They also say they would rate her as “10/10, perfect guest”.
Ivy’s adoption fee is $200. She’s heartworm negative and is current on her preventatives.
We can’t imagine why Ivy was stray; anyone who meets her wants to keep her close. Have room for a new best friend? Apply to adopt on our website! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application

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

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

"PANCHI"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

PANCHI adoption $300  Breed:Siberian Husky & German Shepherd Mix    neutered male 3 months

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

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? 




"BLUE, and LUNA" ***MED_ SZ*** HUSKY/CATTLE DOGS PLUS! PUPPIES" *****MED- SZ "StUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

"HUSKY/CATTLE DOGS PLUS! PUPPIES" "Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

adoption $300   Breed: Mixed  HUSKY, Cattle Dog PLUS! 

Ok with Dogs: Yes..   OK with Cats: Yes...OK with kids: Yes

adoption application

Personality: Playful, Smart, Affectionate

We didn't plan on having Blue, our 4 month old 17 pound mix, join us at Stumptown Strays. He and his siblings were born to a stray dog at one of the tribal villages along the Columbia river. A tribal member approached us while we were there doing a wellness clinic - could we take this litter that didn't have anywhere to go?

Blue and his littermates have been with us for several weeks. Thanks to the @1510Foundation for covering their care in it's entirety, we were able to get the whole litter spayed and neutered as well as vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. The @1510Foundation 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. Although they have not all mastered potty training, the puppies are very smart and motivated to learn. They have been crate trained and are working on leash skills.

Blue is likely to be about 30-40 pounds fully grown-a mix between a smaller cattle dog and a husky. See the DNA results in the photos!

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?.
