SHADE Animal ID: 388974 e Breed: Pit Bull Neutered male, 3 yrs 58 lbs
 
*no children
 
 Meet Shade, a sensitive and smart 58-pound companion who is ready to find his forever home! While the shelter environment was initially a bit overwhelming for him, Shade has truly blossomed into a playful, treat-loving boy who already knows "sit," "shake," and "down." Once he hits the agility trail, his true personality shines-he is a "zoomie" expert who loves a good game of chase and has shown great social potential and bouncy energy with other dog friends. Shade is looking for a patient, adult-only home where he can continue to build his confidence at his own pace. He is a bright dog who thrives on clear communication and high-value snacks (cheese is the quickest way to his heart!). Because he can be a little defensive when he feels pressured or handled too abruptly, he needs an adopter who understands canine body language and is ready to provide a calm, predictable environment. In exchange, Shade offers a lifetime of loyal tail wags, goofy play bows, and a heart full of potential. 

He is a sensitive boy

"looks like"  Labrador, American Pit Bull neutered male 8 mths 41 lbs


What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • If your bed feels a little chilly at night, let me help you warm it up! I'm a professional snuggler.
  • Giddy-up! The staff here call me a pony because I like to stand on my hind legs for easier access to pets.
  • My booty doubles as a bongo - I love butt pats!
  • 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.
  • High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my physical and mental exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.

"HASTA" youngHUSKY mix "OHS- PORTLAND"

 

 "HASTA" AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at Oregon Humane Society  in PORTLAND

"HASTA"  #344444  $450  available 3/31/26

"looks like" Siberian Husky  spayed female 11 mths 42 lbs


What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I love to be the center of attention. All eyes and pets on me, please!
  • I'm a vivacious, energetic lady looking for a similar companion. I love to throw myself into activities, so if you are the same, let's go play!
  • I just get so darned excited when I'm out and about! I'll need time and practice, so I can learn to control my enthusiasm.
  • I know some basic cues, such as sit.
  • Looking for a conversation partner? I'm quite a talkative girl! Games and exercise can help, but I love the sound of my own voice and probably always will. I may not be the best choice living in an apartment or condo.
  • High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my physical and mental exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
  • I had so much fun meeting another dog here in the shelter. But if your dog doesn't enjoy rowdy and vocal play, we probably aren't the best match.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I am completely oblivious to my large size, and my big, goofy ways may be too much for young kids.
  • I would prefer to live in a cat-free home.

MONTANA Available 3/10/2026   #344265

  $50 spayed female "looks like" Anatolian Shepherd, Mix

1 yr 7 mth 60 lbs 

 Hiya everyone! My name's Montana, and if you're looking for a friend to adventure with, I may just be the perfect fit!

I'm a very playful pup, and I love toys of all kinds! Stuffed animals are my favorite - I love to carry one around with me on walks. I'll show you when we meet!

Romping in the yard is fun, but I'm also having a blast on the OHS running team! My friends here think I would do great with an active family that can provide me with lots of outlets for my energy. Let's check some hikes off your bucket list! 


After I've gotten my energy out, I love to cuddle up with my favorite humans. Who doesn't want hugs and kisses from an adorable dog?

I've had fun playing with other dogs here at the shelter. I do best with larger dogs, my playstyle may be too much for smaller dogs. If you have a canine friend in your home, I'd love to meet them at the shelter.

Guess what else? I am part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here. . Basically, we'll get to spend plenty of time together before you officially adopt me!

I'd love to get to know you - maybe you'd like to get to know me too? Then come stop by and meet me!

"CHANCE" German Shep mix PUPPY GROWING UP IN THE SHELTER "MCAS"

 

CHANCE is a PUP who has been growing up in the shelter. Almost 3 months of his young life.  It's sad

He deserves a good home. A calm, stable place. Give him lots of time to adjust and feel safe.   

CHANCE is nervous of strangers coming into the kennels ( his shepherd protective instinct ), but he is a very affectionate boy once introduced to someone.  Chance is still so young  and partly due to the recent shelter quarantine, he has been living in a shelter for too many days!

Meet Chance, a sensitive and loyal soul who is looking for a patient partner to help him shine! While he can be a bit nervous when meeting new people, Chance is a "fast friend" who transforms into a wiggly, affectionate companion once he knows he's safe. In fact, once he warms up, he's known to flop over for belly rubs and lean in close for all the pets you're willing to give. Because Chance finds the big world a little intimidating, he is looking for an adult-only home where his family can help him navigate new introductions at his own pace. He's a smart boy who already knows how to sit for treats and is highly motivated to learn and please his person. If you're looking for a devoted sidekick who will stick by your side and offer endless play bows once the ice is broken, Chance might be the perfect match for you.
