CLEO #174157  spayed female, 1 yr 4 mths 43 lbs

Breed: American Pit Bull Terrierr $100


Here's what you need to know about me:

Hi I'm Cleo! I'm a young playful girl with the sweetest face and I like to do little tippy taps with my paws when I get excited! I can be a little shy when you first meet me, but toys and treats will help me feel more comfortable

I'm an active dog! My Favorite activities are running and playing. With a little training I'll be a great jogging and hiking buddy. I'm up for any game you want to play with me, especially if it exercises my brain, too. I'd love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime and outdoor adventures

I learn really fast! My shelter friends have worked with me on all sorts of things, like leash skills, checking in when I see birds or small animals, learning to keep "4 on the floor" and learning to be patient while I wait for a treat and they say I learn really fast when using positive training methods.

I love to snuggle! Underneath all my playful energy, I am also very snuggly. I love when my favorite people sit with me to cuddle after our walks.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor.

I'm ready to learn! If you want to learn about HSSW training classes, check out our Dog Training program.

"RED" sweetie BEAGLE"CASCADE BEAGLE RESCUE" Portland, Oregon***WeIGHT loss diet***

 "RED" Available for adoption at CASCADE BEAGLE RESCUE  in Portland, Oregon

 "RED" Affectionate   Chill   Curious   Gentle   Playful   Resilient 

 Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet handsome Red, an 8-year-old beagle with soulful eyes, a gentle heart, and a second chance at the life he deserves. When Red arrived at the shelter, his future was heartbreakingly uncertain. Thankfully, they reached out to CBR for help.
 
 
Red is the kind of beagle who makes people smile without even trying. One of his favorite things in the world is toys. He carries them proudly around like treasured prizes.

Like many beagles who enjoy the finer things in life (especially snacks!), Red is currently working on getting to a healthier weight (he weighs 51 lbs, down from 56lbs). He’s doing great on his diet and would love a family committed to helping him continue his wellness journey with walks, playtime, and lots of encouragement. Beneath those extra pounds is a happy, loving beagle ready for many more wonderful years ahead.

Red is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to leave his uncertain past behind forever.

His adoption fee is: $450
=================================================

"GHOST" **UPDATE 5/12/26** **THEN and NOW** "OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE"

 UPDATE 5/12/26  OWR FB POST

UPDATE on GHOST, the Weimaraner hit by a car and released to our custody while being stabilized at the Emergency Veterinary Clinic of Tualatin
 
We are quite pleased to report that Ghost has made a seemingly full recovery under the watchful eyes of his wonderful foster parents and the care provided by the excellent medical professionals at Albany Animal Hospital who worked with us to provide very timely and necessary medical care in this unique situation. 
 
At this time Ghost's eye has healed, all of his bruising has rescinded, limp is no longer present, neutering has occurred, several teeth have been extracted and his basic vaccines have begun  On top of all of the good health news comes the best news, which is that his lovely foster parents have decided to adopt this now quite exuberant young guy as a full fledged member of the family
 
Taking on a costly and financially unscripted case such as Ghost was only made possible through the outpouring of financial support which we receive from our absolutely fantastic supporters, so we want to extend a big THANK YOU to each and every person who shares, likes, adopts, volunteers and donates to our nonprofit cause. You are awesome and we would not be able to do this without you!
  

OREGON WEIM RESCUE FB POST  4/14/26

https://www.facebook.com/oregonweimrescue 

Oregon Weimaraner Rescue is asking for donations.


Update on the Weimaraner which was dropped off at Emergency Veterinary Clinic of Tualatin last week and subsequently released to our custody by the county after no owner could be located (register your microchips otherwise they do not work!)
 
Ghost is definitely banged up but he is alive and we are hopeful that over the coming week, with a good amount of quiet and rest, many of his current ailments will resolve themselves. It is believed that he took a good shot from a vehicle to his right side which explains the trauma to the eye, the laceration to his shoulder which required staples, the damage to his right lung and the stiffness visible on his right side when he moves. The good news is that he has no broken bones that anyone has identified to date, the issues of his pneumothorax (collapsed lung) seemingly resolved at the ER and he is in a wonderful foster home resting which is the absolute best thing for him at this moment. The bad or unknown things facing him are that his radiographs showed possibly 2 bullae (blisters of a sort) in/on his right lung which will either absorb back into his body and require no action or burst which will be an immediate trip to an ER Vet and a tough decision about what can/will be done at that time. 
 
 The other, less life-threatening, issues facing Ghost are that he has several chipped teeth in the front of his mouth which are no doubt a result of the accident, he is intact and we need to establish a vaccine history for him (the issue of his right eye dilation and redness will hopefully resolve with the passage of time but we will be discussing this further when he gets in to the vet). 
 
 courtesy foster home
 
What all of this will require, and has already taken a good dose of, beyond just amazingly flexible volunteers, is financial support. While money is not what will solve all of the issues for Ghost, that will require a bit of good fortune, it certainly will be a portion of his recovery effort. Costs from our ownership portion of his time at the ER have already been absorbed and we are actively making plans for the future veterinary care which we know he will need (not to mention the likelihood of their being unexpected treatments needed). If you are able and wish to support us with a tax deductible donation, that would be wonderful and we would be much appreciative. Donation methods are available on our website https://www.oregonweimrescue.org/support and on this post. 
 
 
We will certainly attempt to provide periodic updates on this gentle guys progress but he is currently only 1 of 7 dogs we are handling at the moment so the updates may be sporadic and we hope that there is no news at all for several days.
Thanks,
Garrett
 

"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 

Housetrained: Yes

OK With Kids: Yes

OK With Dogs: Unknown

OK With Cats: No

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Smart, Funny, Loves, Friendly






courtesy Stumptown Strays (from video)

 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, and even upside down snuggles. 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 has been good with the dogs in his foster home, but it does take a bit for him to warm up to them. We suspect Basil may prefer to be an only dog or live with another dog who ignores him. 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. 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. His adoption fee is 300.

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





"COLLIN" *POCKET PITTIE MIX* *TRI_POD* "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

"COLLIN"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

COLLIN adoption $350  Breed: Pit Bull Terrier

neutered male, 1 yr 33 lb

ok with Dogs, unknown-  Cats,  Kids- unknown

adoption application

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

 

This tripod cutie LIVES for affection. He recently went to a foster meet up and did fantastic with all the people and other animals. He’s still very puppy like, but if you’re looking for a bestie who wants to learn and accompany you to all the fun bar patios as we slide into the sunny summer months, Collin may just be your boy!
 
 
He came to us after sustaining a badly fractured rear leg and is now thriving as a tripod dog. Collin is getting more and more confident the stronger he gets. He loves running about and exploring, sniffing his way around everywhere.
 
 
In the house, he’s calm and good at entertaining himself with toys when he’s not trying to crawl into a warm lap to cuddle. Crates stress him out, but he hasn’t been destructive in the house when left alone.
He’s honestly just a Very Good Boy and is absolutely going to be the love of someone’s life. If he looks like yours, you should hurry and apply because he’s waiting for you!
You can learn more about him and apply to adopt on our website! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/dogs/collin 💙
