Hi there… I’m Lily. 💛 

I’m a 7-year-old chocolate lab, about 65 pounds of what I like to think is the perfect mix of playful energy and soft, snuggly sweetness.

Let me tell you a little about me.

I’ve got plenty of pep left in my step—I can run, chase a ball, hop in and out of the car, and take stairs like a pro. When I get the chance to stretch my legs, I really stretch them… zoomies are kind of my thing. But once I’ve had my fun? I’m all about the cuddles. Scratch behind my ears and I will absolutely melt into you.

I’ve spent a lot of time in a small outdoor run, so the moments I get to be out with people are my favorite. That’s when you really see me—happy, wiggly, and just soaking up attention like sunshine. Sometimes I burst out ready to play, and sometimes I just wander over like, “Hi… can we just hang out?”

I’ve been around kids—little ones and bigger ones—and I’ve always been gentle and kind. I even met a tiny human when he was just 2 years old, and we got along great. I don’t have a mean bone in my body.

Other animals? I’m pretty unbothered, honestly. Chickens, cats, sheep, dogs—you name it, I’ve seen it wandering around, and I’ve never felt the need to chase or fuss. I’m more of a “live and let live” kind of girl.

If I could ask for anything, it would be this: more time with my people. More space to run. More love. I’ve had a quieter life so far, and I’m ready to be part of a home where I’m not just waiting for visits—but living life right alongside you.

I don’t need anything fancy. Just a yard to stretch my legs, a ball to chase, and someone who will sit with me when the day winds down.

I promise I’ll meet you with a wagging tail, a gentle heart, and lots of love to give.

 "JACKSON"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 

JACKSON  Border Collie/Greyhound  neutered male, 

11 yrs 10 mths, 48 lbs,   *no cats  $200 *housetrained *needs a fenced yard *adult only home preferred

 

Hi I’m Jackson! Nice to meet you!

 

I’m an 11-year-old border collie/greyhound, but I still play like a puppy and have a heart full of loyalty. I weigh 48 pounds, love a good nap on the couch or bed, and still have the agility to run, play, and explore. I used to live on a quiet rural property with the best human dad, where we had all the space in the world. After he passed away, life changed. I moved into town with my other human, but the busy streets and close neighbors have been hard on both of us.

I can get a little overexcited when I see dogs, deer, or other surprises on walks — I might bark or pull on leash because I’m just not sure what to do with all that energy! In safe, off-leash areas, I relax and can share space nicely with other dogs (as long as I’m not feeling left out of the people fun)

I’m very people-focused and get excited to see kids, but with my strength and excitement, I might be too much in a home with little ones. My human loves me very much but can’t give me the exercise I need anymore.

My ideal home? A quiet place in the country or a peaceful neighborhood, with an adult or two who want a loyal, energetic companion and have time to spend with me. I'd love a place with no kids and no other pets — so I can focus on loving you!

Sound like a good fit? Please apply! I've been at SDRO a long time and would love to find my second lease on life.

Dachshund / Chihuahuat

neutered male

12Y/5M/1W 13lbs  $200  

*needs fenced yard *adult only home preferred *housetrained

*not good with cats, kids 

 

 

 Hi there, my name is Cody, and I’m a 12-year-old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix weighing about 13 pounds. I may be a senior gentleman, but I’ve still got plenty of personality and a lot of love to give the right person.

I spend most of my day relaxing inside the house where I can wander around freely and keep an eye on things. I sleep on my own cozy bed in my human’s bedroom. I’m house trained, leash trained, and I walk nicely on a loose leash—though I might bark or lunge a little when I see new people or dogs. Once I get to know someone, I warm up just fine. I just prefer to take introductions at my own pace.

My favorite thing in the whole world is going for walks. I get excited to explore and sniff around the neighborhood. After a good walk, I’m happy to come home, nap, and enjoy a calm, peaceful day. I also enjoy spending time near my person—I’m a loyal little companion.

Because I’m getting older, I’ve learned that I really prefer peace and quiet. Living with young children has been stressful for me, and I’ve started giving warning growls when I feel overwhelmed. My family loves me very much and wants what’s best for everyone, so they’re helping me find a child-free home where I can feel relaxed and safe.

I do best with people who understand that I need a little space around my food and time to get comfortable with strangers. I’m friendly or politely aloof with other dogs, but I do enjoy chasing cats, so a cat-free home would probably be best.

My perfect home would be quiet, calm, and child-free, with someone who enjoys daily walks and doesn’t mind a loyal little shadow nearby. If you’re looking for a sweet senior who appreciates the simple things—walks, naps, and companionship—I might just be your guy.

TOBY  plus videos  Collie, Border  neutered male

8Y/1M/3W, 26? 33 lbs   $200  *housetrained *needs a fenced yard *adult only home preferred   *special needs

 

Hi, I’m Toby—and my motto is: I can’t see you, but I love you.

 

I’m a 7–8 year old, 26 lb. (mini) Border Collie mix (maybe Beagle??) with a big heart and a lot of resilience. I was found on MLK Blvd in Portland, blind, underweight and struggling. Not long after, I had to have my eyes removed due to painful glaucoma. But I’ve healed well, and I’m learning how to navigate the world in my own way.

I’m incredibly smart. I’ve already mapped out my foster home, I come when called (at home), and I sit like a pro—especially if treats are involved. I’m eager to learn and very motivated by food and praise. I just need someone patient to help me build confidence and boundaries.

I love people. I bond quickly, greet you with full-body wiggles, and want to be near my humans (but I’m not underfoot all the time). At home, I’m playful, affectionate, and happiest when I’m part of the action.

Outside can still be scary for me. Since I can’t see, I react to sounds like barking dogs or nearby people—it can feel overwhelming. I’ll need an understanding adopter, ideally someone with blind dog experience, who can help me feel safe and supported. I may also do well with a calm, confident dog friend to help guide me.

I enjoy tug toys, bones, Kongs, and cozy naps (especially on the couch). I sleep in my own bed at night and take daily meds to help with this new life.

What I need most is someone patient, kind, and willing to see my potential.

Because even though I can’t see you… I will love you with everything I have. 

 

 

 

 

"WALLY & WOODY" **BONDED Pair** DACHSHUND MIX "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON"

Adult-Only Home Preferred

 

 

Hi! I’m Wally, a 7-year-old dachshund mix, about 20 pounds, and the slightly more charming half of this bonded pair (don’t tell Woody I said that). I come with a built-in best friend—Woody—and we’re looking for a home where we can stay together. He’s been my buddy forever, and life just wouldn’t be the same without him.

I’m the kind of dog who loves to be near my people. Lap? Yes please. Couch? Even better if my bed is on it so I can supervise everything. I’m affectionate, snuggly, and if you ask nicely… I might even give you my signature smile (that is me smiling in my profile picture!).

Woody and I love to play outside, especially racing around the yard together in our figure-eight zoomies. We also enjoy walks—walking nicely on leash is kind of my thing—and we’re both great with other dogs. We’ve had visitors and always get along just fine.

I’m house trained, comfortable using a dog door, and I settle in nicely at home. Like Woody, I’ll bark when something catches my attention (doorbells are very suspicious), but I warm up quickly and am happy to make new friends once I know everything’s okay.

Car rides are no problem for me, especially if I get a little help to relax. Mostly, I’m just happy to be wherever you are.

I do need a home without children. Kids make both of us nervous, and we’d really thrive in a quieter, adult home where we can feel safe and just be ourselves.

I’m sweet, food motivated, a little independent at times, but always ready for a cuddle. As long as I’ve got Woody and a cozy spot next to you, I’ve got everything I need 

==========================

Hi there, I’m Woody—the older, wiser half of this dynamic duo. I’m a 9-year-old dachshund mix with a little grey on my face (I prefer “distinguished”), about 20 pounds, and I come with one very important feature… my best friend, Wally. Wherever I go, he goes too. We’ve always been together, and that’s exactly how we plan to keep it.

I’m a laid-back guy who loves the simple things—soft beds, cozy laps, and a good nap (you might hear me snoring… I take my sleep seriously). During the day, Wally and I split our time between inside and outside using our dog door, and when we’re out in the yard, you’ll usually find us chasing each other in our famous figure-eight pattern. It’s kind of our thing.

I’m house trained, leash trained, and I do just fine around other dogs. On walks, I can get a little enthusiastic and like to pull—I just get excited to explore! Car rides are okay too, especially with a little help to relax.

At home, I’ll let you know if something’s happening—doorbell, squirrel, strange noise—you name it. I’ve got opinions! But give me a few minutes and I’ll be right back to being your sweet, snuggly sidekick. I’m affectionate, adventurous, and very food motivated (treats go a long way with me).

I love people… but I do best in an adult-only home. Kids make me nervous, and I’d really prefer a calm, predictable environment where I can feel safe and relaxed.

At the end of the day, I’m happiest curled up on your lap or tucked into my bed on the couch where I can keep an eye on everything. As long as I’ve got Wally by my side and a human to love, I’m a pretty happy guy.
