 Meet Lester, a strikingly handsome bi-eyed husky/shepherd mix that will stop you right in your tracks! 👁️💙🤎 True to both of his iconic breeds, Lester is a brilliant, high-energy gentleman who is looking for an active family ready to embrace his big brain and adventurous spirit.

From his husky side, he inherits a fun-loving, independent streak, a dash of goofy charisma, and a love for the great outdoors. Because he is a mix of two highly athletic and intelligent working breeds, Lester will need plenty of daily mental stimulation, puzzle toys, and physical exercise to keep him happy and fulfilled. If you lead an active lifestyle and are looking for a loyal, striking companion to join you on every hike, run, and weekend adventure, Lester is ready to pack his bags! 🌲🐕✨

"JESSIE" 7 yr MINI POODLE MIX "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON "

 

 "JESSIE"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 


JESSIE  Poodle, Miniature / Unknown   spayed female, 
7 yrs 6 mths 30 lbs  $200
  *housetrained *crate trained  *not good with cats
 
Hi there! My name is Jess, and I'm a 7-year-old Miniature Poodle mix weighing in at about 30 pounds of fluffy companionship.
  
 If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who wants to be part of your daily routine, I might be your girl. I love going for walks, riding in the car, playing with my toys, and curling up next to my favorite people on the couch. I'm affectionate, playful, and definitely food motivated—treats are one of my favorite things!

I have great house manners. I'm housetrained, crate trained, leash trained, and I walk nicely on a loose leash. I know commands like "sit," "speak," and "go to bed." In fact, every evening around 8 o'clock, I put myself to bed in my crate like clockwork. I also like to remind my family that it's time for my after-dinner potty break as soon as everyone finishes eating.

I've lived with teenagers and would love a family with a similar lifestyle—people who enjoy spending time together, playing with me, and including me in their day. I don't need constant attention, but I do want to be part of the family.

There are a few things you should know about me. I'm protective of my toys, my crate, and sometimes my treats, so I'll do best with a family that understands my boundaries and can help me continue being successful. I can be nervous around other dogs, and while I'm friendly with cats, I can't always resist chasing one if it decides to run.

I'm healthy, active, and can easily handle stairs on my own. My family loves me very much, but they're moving out of state and aren't able to take me with them. They're hoping to find me another loving home where I can continue being the devoted companion I've always been.

If you're looking for a sweet, loyal friend who will happily join you for walks, keep you company on the couch, and tuck herself into bed every night, I would love to meet you. 
 


"CODY" GERMAN SHEPHERD *Good with kids, dogs* "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON "

 "CODY"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 

CODY  Shepherd  neutered male, 6-7 yrs 70 lbs
    $200 
 
*Good with Dogs
*Housetrained
*Needs a fenced yard
 
 
 
I’m a 7-year-old black shepherd, about 70 pounds of loyal, loving, slightly goofy best friend. I used to have my person—my whole world—but they passed away recently, and I’ve been trying to figure things out ever since. Right now, I spend most of my days alone, with kind people stopping by to feed me twice a day… but it’s not the same. I miss having my human. I miss being part of a home.

I’ll be honest with you—I’ve gotten a little lonely. So lonely that my skin has started to show it. It’s not who I really am, just what happens when a dog who loves connection doesn’t get enough of it.
Because here’s the real me:
I’m affectionate, confident, and playful. I LOVE fetch—like, throw-the-ball-again-no-seriously-again level love. I’m also a big fan of snuggling, especially if it means I get to sleep on the bed next to you. That’s where I feel safe.

I’m good with kids and other dogs—sometimes a little aloof at first, but friendly once I warm up. I really enjoy having other dogs around to play with. I do bark at dogs through the window (hey, I’ve got to keep an eye on things), but I’m much happier actually meeting them and making friends.
I’ve got good house manners, use a dog door, and I’m comfortable with stairs and car rides. What I really need is a fenced yard to run in, someone to throw the ball for me, and—most importantly—a home where I’m not alone all the time.

I don’t need perfect. I just need present.
Right now, the people caring for me are worried about my future. They don’t want to lose me, but they also know this isn’t the life I deserve. I’m not ready to give up—I just need someone to see me and say, “Come on, Cody. Let’s go home.”

If you’ve got room in your life for a loyal companion who just wants to love and be loved… I’m right here. 
 




"LOUISE" senior CATTLE DOG *quiet home* "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON"

 

 "LOUISE"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 


LOUISE  Cattle Dog, Australian (Blue Heeler)  spayed female, 12Y/1M/1W  40 lbs
    $200 
*Housetrained
*Not Good with Kids
*Crate trained
*Not Good with Cats
*Special Dietary Needs
 

I’m a 12-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix, about 40 pounds, and I’m looking for a quieter place to spend
my golden years. I’ve lived a full life with dogs, cats, and kids, but these days I’ve realized I’d really prefer a calm home without young children running around. 
 
I’m a classic heeler at heart, and with a busy 5-year-old in my current home, I’ve started trying to “herd” him by barking and getting a little too bossy. My family loves me enough to know I’d be happier somewhere more peaceful.

I’m independent, protective, and pretty quiet overall — unless someone comes to the door. Then I’ll let you know about it. After that, I settle back down and go right back to relaxing on my dog bed.

I still get around great for a senior girl.
I can climb stairs, hop into the car, and I enjoy leisurely walks, hikes, and a good game of fetch. I walk nicely on a leash and know commands like sit, stay, and lay down. I spend my time indoors with free roam of the house and do just fine being left alone for 5–6 hours at a time.

I can be nervous around other dogs and tend to bark or lunge when I see them on walks, so I’d do best with someone who understands heelers and can help me feel secure. Cats are also pretty tempting to chase, so a cat-free home would probably be best.

One important thing about me: I LOVE food. Truly. If there’s food left out, I will consider it a gift meant for me. I am on a low-fat diet.

What I really want is simple — a calm home, steady routine, soft bed, and someone to enjoy peaceful walks and quiet companionship with. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow to share your slower days, I might be your girl.

"LEIA" dark-brindle BOXER "HUMANE SOCIETY OF SW WASH-VANCOUVER"

 "LEIA" Available for Adoption at the HUMANE SOCIETY OF SW WASHINGTON in VANCOUVER

dogs available HS SW Washington (both Vancouver and Longview)

 Vancouver Campus Adoption Hours
Tuesday - Sunday | Noon - 6:00 

LEIA" #179056 spayed female, 3 yr 2 mths 58 lbs

Breed: BOXER $200


Here's what you need to know about me:

I'm an active dog! I would love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

I need a space of my own. I sometimes have a hard time sharing my food and space with others. Ask an adoption counselor for more information.

I am sometimes nervous with men I don't know. But if my new male friends can take it slow, use gentle voices, and let me move at my own pace, we'll be able to get along.
