"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
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"
"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
Personality: Affectionate, Smart, Funny, Loves, Friendly

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?
