  • I may do best in a home with someone with large dog breed experience.
  • Do you like sweet things? Then I am the perfect companion for you!
  • High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.

  • You can also stock up on food and treats using our online store by clicking here.
 

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.

"PROJECT POOCH" ***COMING SOON!!*** Dogs for ADOPTION "

 

Project POOCH, quite simply, changes lives. We operate a kennel inside a youth correctional facility and pair currently incarcerated youth with shelter dogs. The youth learn kennel management, positive reinforcement, grooming, and training techniques. The youth learn what it means to be depended on by another living creature and what it means to be trusted and relied upon. And, they learn what unconditional love feels like—sometimes for the first time. Our dogs get trained, loved, and adopted into their forever homes. There is no limit to the amount of time a dog spends in our care, and we are focused on the individual needs of each dog."

 AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at PROJECT POOCH"

www.pooch.org 

ADOPTABLE DOGS - COMING SOON! 

If you are interested in making a donation, learning more about our mission, volunteering, upcoming events, or details about adoptable dogs, call our office at 503-697-0623. If you get our voicemail, please leave a detailed message. We often cannot answer the phone as we are working with the pups, but we can call you right back!

If you need to schedule an adoption appointment, please review the adoption information page first and then email us at adopt@pooch.org or call us at 503-697-0623.

 Uncle Donny was transferred to OHS in January to be given the chance of some extra, professional (shy dog) behavior training where he could feel safe, loved and go at his own pace in a calm, quiet stable setting. Before coming into the county shelter, he lived with his 5-6 siblings until he was about 9 months old and was never on his own.  

Donny is a gorgeous young lovable dog, ready to become "someone's best dog" - in a home willing to take time to know and understand him and still provide the mental and physical exercise that a young active American Staffie mix needs

"GRETA" lovely *TRIPOD** WEIMARANER" OREGON WEIM RESCUE"

 "GrETA" is Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE

MEET: Greta 

 foster home, current  Location: Tigard,OR
 
GRETA is looking for patient loving home:
4 yrs old, female 68 lb

BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:

CHILDREN:  Teen +  (9yr old entering the room sent her running to her crate, but...?)

CATS:  No

DOGS:  Yes 

Are you looking to become an accessory to a Weimaraner on what could currently be mistaken for your couch? Well if so, look no further than this ~4 year old female who would love to take over your comfy spaces and claim them as her own. Greta's best life is hanging out with her owners and relaxing...although she is a tripawd doggo who does love the occasional high speed sprint around the property, she really would prefer to remain in the lap of luxurious heated indoor spaces soaking up affection in-between her morning and evening meal service...which will be on time lest her human servants receive a talking to.

 

Greta came into our care from rather unfortunate circumstances where she was being used for breeding stock and otherwise ignored (when we took her in she possessed no discernible traditional training or connection to her name and had obvious health issues to address). While facts of her past are light and inferences are many, the details we share will focus primarily on our lived experience with her as a foster dog. 

This lovely, young, 68# lady is now healthy, microchipped, happy and up to date on her rabies vaccine. Ms Greta has undergone a monumental transition in lifestyle over the course of the last two months she has been in our care. Most significant of those changes is that she was fully integrated as a part of day to day family life and not secluded from it. She has shown herself to be an excellent companion to the other two Weimaraners who reside alongside her and she has no problem at all curling up with any combination of the male/female duo on the couch. She has displayed no food or resource guarding behaviors and the trio of doggos will frequently play musical bowls at mealtime. Greta has a very soft mouth when being given treats and when snagging an opportunistic taste of an unattended plate (I suppose I was done with that ice cream anyway). While Greta is great with dogs, she definitely has a strong instinct to follow her nose and will diligently track the routes of any furry intruders to the yard so no cats or small furry critters in the home for this gal.

When it comes to people, Greta's approach is evolving but her basic stance is that everyone is to be cautiously avoided except for those which have shown kindness, love and affection towards her. Once she has accepted you as a 'friendly', a process which may take from 10 minutes to a couple days, then you may engage in any type of physical inspecting/laying on/handling/snuggling/rubbing/petting which you desire, but before your having been accepted she simply will not give you the time of day and no amount of cajoling seems to change this default position of hers. Greta has shown not an ounce of anything resembling aggression and her defacto response when encountering the unknown is to, if anything, avoid it and retreat to safety. This behavior is understandable given that we believe this girl had never left the property of her original owners until entering our care so she is only now learning, slowly, that the world is not necessarily a scary place. While she is being socialized more each day, she ultimately wants to be a homebody giving and receiving affection to her people.

Greta is certainly comfortable with wire crates and has learned that sleeping in one at night is not a problem because her attentive caretakers will let her out if she alerts to go potty. Leash skills are improving but she would likely benefit from a gentle leader as she likes to pull and is quite strong. Commands include responding to her name (which was untrue upon her arrival), come, no, off , potty and crate. Potty training has been aided by the presence of other dogs because she arrived with no training to alert at all and we have found that she is far more likely to run outside with the other dogs than on her own (she is definitely a bit of a diva who will stick her head outside and say "it's too cold, I'll stay in"). We are happy to report that at this time accidents in the home are few and far between but we monitor her behaviors and if we see any sign that she may need out, we send her out (we are working on bell training currently).
Other bits: She bathes easily. No sensitivity to touch anywhere. Being a tripawd dog doesn't slow her down at all. Fenced yard is non-negotiable. In the home and in the yard she has displayed no destructive behaviors and although far from a voracious chewer, she does occasionally like to gnaw a bone or antler. Fetch does not seem to be her thing but she likes to play a bit of chase with the other dogs when she feels like it. Patience mixed with prior experience will be needed for Greta's continued growth as she has come leaps and bounds from where she started but she is still an evolving creature which we want to continue nurturing.

If you live a fairly quiet life, do not have too many stairs, and are looking for a deeply loving and appreciative companion, Greta may very well be your gal.



***Greta is still intact due to a number of scheduling considerations during her time with us but OWR will work with her adopter to timely schedule her spay surgery and cover up to $800 of cost.
