Jameson is a handsome 5-year-old German Shepherd who is looking for a patient heart to help him navigate his new surroundings. As a recent arrival at the shelter, he is currently showing his sensitive side and can be a bit nervous when meeting new people or facing unfamiliar situations. However, he has already revealed that the way to his heart is definitely through his stomach-Jameson is very treat-motivated, which will be a wonderful tool for building trust and confidence in his forever home. At five years old, he has moved past the frantic puppy stage and is ready to settle into a calm environment where he can feel secure. With a little time, some tasty snacks, and a gentle hand, Jameson is sure to blossom into the loyal, devoted companion that shepherds are so well known for being.

"LEFTY and ZORRO" AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at Oregon Humane Society in PORTLAND
LEFTY and ZORRO Available 1/29/2025 #343603$75 neutered male "looks like" Shepherd/Lab, Boxer
neutered males
Lefty 10 yrs 3 mths 63 lbs
Zorro 8 yrs
We came to OHS through the Friends Forever Program.
What my friends at OHS say about me:
- We are Lefty and Zorro, best friends 'til the end and brothers from other mothers. We are a bonded pair that do everything together, meaning that we came into Oregon Humane together and plan to leave here together.
- Our adoption fees is for both of us, making us a BOGO deal. You're already saving money out of the gate, so adopting us is sound economics, son!
- We love everyone we meet, and every single day is the greatest day of our lives! If you adopt us, then this will translate over into your life as well. Basically, we are a walking serotonin boost spread over eight legs.
- Shy and Nervous: Zorro can be worried in new places when he is alone, but he is good as long as we stay together.
- We could both use a dental cleaning at some point in the future, but you're not perfect, either.

- We don't let anything ruin our buzz, baby. You just gotta keep livin', man. L-I-V-I-N.
- We came to OHS through the Friends Forever Program.
- You can adopt some other jabroni dogs, or you can adopt the canine equivalents of full racks of Budweiser and Coors. You just have to ask yourself something: are you the kind of owner that wants some trembling purse dog or are you someone that knows how to party? The choice is yours, bro!
The type of home I'm looking for:
- A home without dweebs would be nice. Anyone with an IROC Camaro gets fast tracked, that's for sure!
- We would like a calmer environment. Other than that, all we need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and we're fine.
