Hi, I'm Roxy! 🐾 My tail is currently wagging at maximum speed just thinking about meeting you! πŸ’¨I am a gorgeous adult Pitbull with a heart of pure gold and a smile that lights up the room. πŸ₯° If you are looking for a total sweetheart who loves everyone she meets, I am your girl! My tail never stops thumping against the floor when my humans are around, and I am always ready to shower you with kisses and lean in for all the full-body cuddles. πŸ›ŒWhile I have endless love for my human friends, I do have a couple of preferences when it comes to the animal kingdom. 🚫 I definitely do not do well with cats, so a feline-free home is an absolute must for me. 🐈❌ I can also be a bit picky when choosing my dog friends, so I would love to be your solo queen or meet any potential dog siblings first to see if our vibes match. πŸ• If you have a cat-free castle and a couch big enough for two, I'm ready to move in! 🏰

"BOO" *semi-senior* BLACK LAB, * Kids, *Dogs* "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON "

 "BOO"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 

to apply for adoption 


BOO
Breed
Retriever, Black Labrador
 spayed female
9 yrs 1 month  70.8  $200
*needs fenced yard  *good with kids *housetrained 
Hi there! I’m Boo — your future best friend with a shiny black coat and an even shinier heart. I’m an 8-year-old black Lab/ mix lady weighing in at about 75 pounds of love and loyalty.

I’ve grown up around kids and other dogs but would really be happier as an only dog. I’m friendly with strangers and always happy to greet new people with a wagging tail. I spend most of my time inside the house, either running free or hanging out in a fenced yard when the weather is nice. At night, I’m perfectly content sleeping on my cozy blanket in the living room — I don’t need anything fancy, just a spot that feels like home.

I’m house trained, leash trained, and I ride nicely in the car (windows down is my favorite!). If you need to run errands or head to work, I can handle being alone for about five hours like a champ. I enjoy my routine and settle in well.

I’ll be honest — I do like my food and prefer not to share it. A girl has to have some boundaries, right? But outside of mealtime, I’m affectionate, sweet, and love being near my people.

My family loves me very much, and this decision is heartbreaking. Their son has been diagnosed with asthma and a severe dog allergy, so they need a pet-free home for his health. They want me safe, loved, and happy — and so do I.

My ideal home? Someone kind and loving who will give me snuggles, take me on regular walks, and let me be part of the family. I’m past the puppy chaos stage but still have plenty of happy tail wags left to give.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a gentle heart, I’m your girl.



 
 
 


 


 

COURTESY SENIOR DOG RESCUE OF OREGON

"TOBY" *I'm can't see you, but I love you" BORDER COLLIE/Beagle mix "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON "

 

 "TOBY"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 

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"

 

Two Peas in a Pod: Meet Woody & Wally! 
Double the dachshund, double the love! This distinguished duo is looking for a retirement home where they can keep their “bonded pair” status official. If you have a soft couch and a big heart, read on!
Meet the Gentlemen 
• Woody (9 Years Old): The “older and wiser” brother. He’s 20 lbs of pure affection with a face he prefers to call “distinguished” rather than grey. Woody is a professional napper (complete with adorable snoring) and a sweet sidekick who loves a good lap. 
• Wally (7 Years Old): The charming younger half! Wally is famous for his signature smile and his expert-level supervision skills from the comfort of his couch bed. He’s a leash-walking pro and a world-class snuggler. 
The Dynamic Duo Lifestyle
• The Figure-Eight Zoomies: When they aren’t napping, you can find them in the yard performing their synchronized “figure-eight” racing routine. It’s their version of Olympic sprinting! 
• Security Detail: These two take their jobs seriously. Doorbell? Squirrel? Leaf? They’ll let you know! Once the “threat” passes, they are right back to being your sweet, food-motivated shadows. 
• A Quiet Oasis: Woody and Wally are looking for an adult-only home. Kids make them a bit nervous, so they’re dreaming of a calm, predictable environment where they can truly relax. 
• Social Butterflies: They are house-trained, dog-door savvy, and get along famously with other canine friends.
Why Adopt Two? 
They’ve been together forever, and life just wouldn’t be the same if they were apart. When you adopt this pair, you aren’t just getting pets; you’re getting a pre-packaged support system of love, loyalty, and dachshund spirit.
Please SHARE this post to help their chances of finding forever love!  To meet this adorable pair, please apply on our website.

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.

 
 

"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. 


 

"CODY" *sENIOR* DOXI/ CHIHUAHUA "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON "

CODY
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.

"CJ" MINI SCHNAUZER ***PERMANENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED*** "OLD DOG HAVEN" (Western WA and Portland, OR)

 "Old Dog Haven is always looking for new foster homes because the need to give homes to senior dogs is never-ending

 
YOU can change the life of a senior dog forever by welcoming them into your home. We want to help as many dogs as we responsibly can. CJ is a dog on our wait list. We are hoping to find a home to send him to soon.
PERMANENT Old Dog Haven FOSTER HOME NEEDED:
(located in W. Washington or Portland OR only)"  ODH FB 5/26/26

PERMANENT PERMANENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED: for "OLD DOG HAVEN"(note: all medical expenses paid by rescue)
 
CJ : neutered male 11- 12 yr 26 lbs 
 
"CJ" is a neutered male, Miniature schnauzer, who weighs about 26 pounds. CJ was reported by the family who surrendered him to the shelter to be between 11-12 years old.
This guy was terrified at the shelter but settled in very well to his temporary foster home. He is a really loving couch potato but also good on leash and on walks. He gets along with the home's 4 other dogs of various sizes, and has good house manners – goes to the door to ask!
Medically, he has a laundry list of issues. He has some heart disease but a recent echocardiogram said meds not yet necessary yet. He has crystals in his urine which means we need to watch for bladder stones, and he should be tested for Cushing's, though he has no symptoms. In addition, he has two large fatty growths (lipomas or just fat, per cytology) under his chest and on his side. They do not impede his movement or comfort at this time though it’s possible they might grow more over time and become problems.
We are told CJ is a really nice dog! with a bunch of medical issues that aren’t critical now but will need work and may be problematic in the near future – or not for a long time.
If you’ve ever had a schnauzer, you know what wonderfully loving, fun dogs they are (with operatic voices….). 
 
To offer CJ the permanent home he needs, with Old Dog Haven covering all of his vet bills, please read the link below and email our applications manager.
