What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I have been working with the Behavior team at OHS and I'm looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. Click the "meet me" button to start the process and schedule an appointment.
  • To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
  • I love to learn! You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things. I already know some basic cues such as sit & wait and I'm putting in the work on walking nicely on leash!
  • Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!
  • 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.
  • I have been known to shower my favorite people with love! I love cuddles and pets. I'm convinced I'm the perfect lap dog.
  • High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I may do best in a home without cats or small animals, but having another dog to play with could be fun!
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • I need to go to a home without tiny children. I may accidently knock them over in my excitement or try to steal their toys to play with.

"BIJOU" CHI/PUG MIX " *lived with Dogs, Kids**SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON" Corvallis, OR

 

SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON

  "BIJOU"  Chihuahua, Pug spayed female, 7Y/2m  19 lbs   $200

Good with Kids
Housetrained
Crate trained
Not Good with Cats
 
 
 
 Hi! I’m Bijou, a 7-year-old Chihuahua/Pug mix with a beautiful brindle coat, a sturdy 19-pound frame, and a personality that’s equal parts independent, snuggly, and just a little bit bossy.

I’m looking for a new home because my person has permanently moved into assisted living and can no longer care for me. I’ve been well loved, and now I’m hoping to find someone who wants a loyal little companion to share their days with.

My favorite things are pretty simple: going for walks, snuggling on the couch, looking out the window, riding in the car, and hanging out with my people. I don’t need constant entertainment—I’d just really like someone who is home most of the time and wants a buddy nearby. I’m housetrained, crate trained, leash trained, and I know sit, off, out, and come. I even attended puppy school!

I’ve lived with dogs, cats, and children, including young kids. I’m generally pretty aloof with other dogs, although I’ve been known to wrestle with my current doggy housemate. Cats may get a bark or growl from me, and while I can live with other animals, I’d probably be happiest as your one-and-only. More attention for Bijou!

I take my neighborhood-watch duties seriously. If someone approaches the house, I’ll make sure you know about it. I’m protective of my space and can be reserved with people I don’t know, but with my people I’m gentle, playful, and wonderfully snuggly. Loud noises can make me nervous, so I appreciate a little reassurance when things get noisy.

I’d love a fenced yard, regular walks, a comfy couch, and most importantly, someone who wants my company. Give me a little time to settle in, and I think we could make a pretty great team.

" SENIOR HOUND BOYFRIEND ALERT 
Meet Reggie 
A 13-year-old, 65-lb Redbone Coonhound mix who would like everyone to know that “senior” does NOT mean slow.
This handsome red-headed guy still has some serious pep in his step. He’s playful, strong, adventurous, food motivated, and fully prepared to follow his nose wherever it tells him to go. 
Reggie has been with his family since he was a puppy, but his person is now very ill and wants to make sure their best boy is safe, loved, and settled into a new home.

🐾 Housetrained, crate trained + leash trained
🐾 Friendly and curious with other dogs
🐱 Certified cat guy. His kitty friends have even climbed into his crate to sleep with him 🥹
🐾 Knows sit, come, no + no bark
🐾 Still handles stairs and gets in/out of the car himself
🐾 Loves walks, playtime, snacks + being with his people
🏡 Needs a securely fenced yard
⛈️ Thunder and fireworks are not his thing
👋 A little unsure of new people at first, but settles once he knows everything is okay
 
Reggie is looking for something pretty simple: good walks, a safe yard, patience, companionship, and someone to call his person again. ❤️
At 13, he still has plenty of energy, personality, and love left to give. This sweet old hound deserves to spend his golden years knowing he belongs.
 
✨ Come get your handsome senior hound. Reggie is ready for his next chapter. ✨
