 I'm in a quieter area. Please ask to meet me! ~ DUTCH

"DUTCH"  #346902    neutered male 4 yrs 13 lbs

  available  10/12/26    $150

Looks like: Terrier

 

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I have been working with the Behavior and Training team here at OHS for consistency and am looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. You'll need to meet with me multiple times before taking me home.
  • To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
  • Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
  • Give me a little time to adjust and I will show you I am the biggest sweetheart.
  • If you have a vacant lap, I would be glad to keep it warm!
  • I have been diagnosed with dental disease which means I may need dental cleanings or extractions in the future.
  • I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I may do best in a home where there is another dog to help boost my confidence.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • Loud noises and unpredictable movements can make me uncomfortable, I would do best in a home with calm, older children.

"SCOOBY" *special needs* sweetie TERRIER MIX "OHS- PORTLAND"

 Scooby has been waiting a long time for a home!

 Scooby has *bilateral dislocation of his shoulders* and because of this, he has been sadly overlooked by potential adopters. 

He loves to go on slow walks and stop to sniff everything. Scooby is a smart little guy.  He loves to be petted once he knows you.  

 Scooby was part of a special rescue group. The other dogs in the group have all been adopted. Now it's SCOOBY'S turn to find a great home!

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I am a sweet and sensitive boy who takes a little time to build trust and make friends.
  • Giddy-up! The staff here call me a pony because I like to stand on my hind legs for easier access to pets.
  • I love nothing more than to be held close and snuggled.
  • I had so much fun meeting another dog here in the shelter. My friends at OHS think I would be great at making new dog friends!
  • I have bilateral dislocation of my shoulders. This is most likely a congenital condition but will require long term medical management with your veterinarian.
  • To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • I am part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I need to go to a home where there is another dog to help boost my confidence and to play with!
  • I must go to a home with a fenced in yard.

"FRIDA" *CUTIE! * CHIWEENIE "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance (and often helps take dogs when shelter is overcrowded)

"FRIDA"  Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption $400  Breed: Chiweenie mix

spayed female 2 yrs 13 lbs  Housetrained: Yes

Ok with Dogs Yes...Cats unknown...Kids  Yes

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

adoption application

 

 

Frida, our 2 year old 13 pound Chiweenie, is an expert nuzzler and is happiest when being held. When she's in someone's arms, Frida fits her head tightly under their chin. She likes to hold hands and she's very generous with her kisses. Frida's love language is definitely physical touch. Our love language, on the other hand, is finding dogs their own families (don't tell us that's not a love language).

When she was out on the streets, Frida zigged when she should have zagged and she was hit by a car. Due to the extent of her injuries, we stepped in to help. Frida's pelvis was fractured and her rear leg was badly damaged. Although her leg could not be saved, Frida is thriving as a tripod. Now that she's healed, she can motor around just like before.

Frida is really friendly, although a bit reserved with new people. Once she sees the snacks come out, all reservations are gone. At home, Frida is x-pen trained and potty trained. She is great with other dogs, loves tossing toys around, and is up for adventures. However, Frida needs a bit more leash training. She pulls a little and sometimes barks at other animals. Good thing she's so snack motivated! We have not seen Frida with cats, but we suspect she could live with a dog savvy one.

Frida is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives.

We just looked up the love languages, and "adopting three-legged dogs" is not one of them. Who came up with these? Prove them wrong and apply to adopt.
