PERMANENT Old Dog Haven FOSTER HOME NEEDED:
(located in W. WA. or Portland, OR only)
Lulu is a frosty-faced senior, spayed girl . She is about 12 years old, weighs 46 pounds and is said to be a whippet mix. This unusual-looking and lovely girl needs a home with a yard and someone able to get her outside regularly, she'd love togo for walks and run around.
We are told she is very good with dogs - very social and she
loves to play! She's very good with kids. Lulu has lived with cats and
gets along with them pretty well if introduced properly.
Lulu has no trouble with stairs. A recent vet check and labwork showed a VERY
SLIGHT indication of Cushing's Disease. Once in our care, we will monitor her and if needed, further test for that. Lulu was a really good girl at the vet, too!
you would like a dog to walk with, Lulu may be your girl!

"MARLEY" YELLOW LAB* PERMANenT FOSTER HOME NEEDED! "OLD DOG HAVEN" (Western WA and Portland, OR)

Just fill out an foster application for Old Dog Haven, then once you are on the foster list, you'll be be ready to accept a dog in need of a permanent foster!   (In W.

PERMANENT PERMANENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED: for "OLD DOG HAVEN"(note: all medical expenses paid by rescue)
 
MARLEY:  neutered male 12 yr 82 lbs  
  
This boy is ready to start the first day of his best life!
 
Marley needs an Old Dog Haven forever foster home. A forever foster means just that-the dog stays with you forever. As an Old Dog Haven dog, all of Marley's vet bills will be covered by our organization (thanks to donations).

"Marley" is a 12-year-old, neutered male yellow Labrador who weighs 82 pounds. A lovely dog, he's been a hunting dog most of his life -living in a kennel with occasional time in the house (the garage overnight if cold out).
His person has gone to a care facility and the family is very anxious to find him a home; they say he loves to be with people and is "classic lab" - all love, smiles and waggy tail.
As a hunting dog, he's had two bouts of salmon poisoning but more importantly soreness/arthritis in his hind end and back that we will definitely want to treat so he's more comfortable. Stairs won't be easy for him! He's never had lab work done so we can't say how his organs are working.
He's lived with other dogs and is quite social; he's not been around cats, but was raised around kids. He is "OK" on a leash but can pull, and he will bark for attention from people when out in his kennel.
It is time for this guy to be a house dog, part of the family, with all the comforts we can offer and the attention he wants and needs. If you could provide that, please let us know.
 
Ready to welcome Marley or perhaps another senior dog in need into your home? To join our network of forever fosters, please read the link below and email for a foster application.
PLEASE NOTE: We respond to inquiries within 36 hours. If you haven't received an email please check your spam folder.

"SHAZ" *foster home* *tender-hearted* young Black/white PITbull "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

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

"SHAZ"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

SHAZ adoption $250  Breed: Breed: Pit Bull Terrier spayed female

8mths 42 lbs and growing 

ok with Dogs, Ok with Cats,  Kids- unknown

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Athletic, Friendly, Funny, Loves, Playful, Smart

 

 

Shaz, our 8 month old 42 pound pitty, struggles with first impressions. Wary of strangers, she can be awkward and shy. Fast forward thirty minutes though, and Shaz is your best friend. Once you’re in, Shaz loves hard. Like most of us, she’s easy to win over with cheese.

Shaz is a great house guest. She is crate and potty trained, does well when left alone, and is quiet. Shaz is perfect with other dogs, both large and small. Shaz has also been respectful of cats (mostly observing them from a distance). Her hobbies include stick destruction, full body hugs, and playing with her housemates. Out and about, Shaz is great on a leash and is contemplative and not reactive.

Like a lot of pitties, Shaz has a loud bark. She will bark at new people coming into her space until she's sure they are safe. Although not at all aggressive, the bark may be alarming to children, so we don't recommend little kids in Shaz's home. Shaz makes friends easily with patience and treats, but we suspect Shaz would be stressed out in a house with a lot of strangers coming and going. We started Shaz on Prozac to help with her fear, and it's been helping. This medication is cheap and we recommend Shaz continue it for at least 6 months. As we always say, there's no shame in needing a little pharmaceutical help.

Shaz thrives with positive reinforcement and loves to be told she's doing things the right way. She needs to live with someone as gentle as she is who will let her go at her own speed. We also think Shaz would do best in a home with another confident dog or have access to dog playmates.

Shaz is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. Her adoption fee is $250. Due to her breed, Shaz must be adopted by a home-owner or someone with written permission from their landlord.


 




"BASIL" *foster home* 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?
