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

What my friends at OHS say about me:

I hope you aren't afraid of insects because I'm an adorable cuddle bug!
My hobbies include casual strolls through the park to sniff the flowers, cuddling on the couch for movies and enjoying plenty of snacks.
My friends call me a "couch potato" because my favorite thing to do is laze around the house.
New things are a little scary to me, but I all I need is time and someone to show me it's okay.
If you're patient with me, I am sure to blossom and become your best pal.
I already know how to sit and I walk lovely on leash!
I can be picky about my canine companions. Slow introductions and having my own space will be important for me to adjust to a home with resident dogs.
I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
Resource Guarding: I have a history of guarding my people, food, toys and/or bedding from other animals or people.
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.
High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my physical and mental 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 with an owner who has had experience owning or caring for shy and fearful dogs.

housetrained,

"Handsome, the most noble of dogs! Still looking for a home without cats. Loves other dogs, especially small ones. He's gone through the Ridge Dog Training Program and is house trained.

Handsome is super sweet and gets so excited to be with people.

He would be a good fit for many different types of home styles.

His DNA says he's 50% German Shepherd and 50% Rottweiler. He's out grown the puppy playful stage and is estimated to be about 5-6 yrs old. We had a couple that loved him and tried for months and months to get him to accept their cat but it just isn't in the cards for Handsome to like cats. They were broken hearted to have to return him because he was such a great boy.

"MAXIMUS" foster home darling sensitive young PITMIX "MCAS"

"MAXIMUS" is Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

MCAS hours/ Location

Date found: Sunday, February 15, 2026

Location found: Powell Blvd & NW Bella Vista Ave, Gresham

How did we get this animal: Stray

Adoption cost: $160.00 each License fee: $27.00 (Multnomah County residents only

MAXIMUS # 384943 Breed: American Pit Bull neutered (?) male, 10 mths 50 lbs

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/384943

*foster home

Maximus is a 60lb "diamond in the rough" who has undergone a beautiful transformation since leaving the shelter. While the loud warehouse environment was overwhelming for him, he has blossomed into a goofy, affectionate puppy in the comfort of his foster home. He is a world-class "leaner" who will melt into your legs for pets the moment he knows he is safe, proving that behind his large frame is a truly soulful and devoted companion.

To reach his full potential, Maximus relies heavily on the "buddy system." He is a dog's dog who takes all of his "brave" cues from his canine companions and absolutely must have a confident resident dog friend in his new home. Whether it's a game of rough-and-rowdy wrestling or simply following a mentor through a doorway, having a furry leader by his side is the key to his confidence. Life with Maximus is full of charming puppy-like mischief. He is a clean houseguest and a very fast learner who is currently mastering his house manners and basic commands.

scared in shelter (that's why foster homes are so important!)

He has developed a hilarious habit of being a "sock thief," where he will gently "borrow" your socks or shoes to collect in his bed-he doesn't chew them, he just likes to keep them close to him while he naps. When he isn't collecting laundry, he is likely engaging with his favorite toys; play is his love language, and he uses toys to self-soothe and express his happiness.

Because of his sensitive nature, Maximus is looking for a family that can provide a bit of advocacy and plenty of patience. He experiences some initial "stranger danger" and thrives with slow, floor-level introductions where he can approach on his own terms. The big world can still feel a bit scary, and he sometimes finds doorways or busy streets intimidating. He needs a leader who will use positive reinforcement and high-pitched "baby talk" to help him navigate new adventures. Maximus's dream setup is a quiet, low-traffic home (best with kids 12+) with a secure yard where he can have his zoomies in peace. He is a loyal, soulful companion waiting for a family to celebrate his "small wins" and provide the soft landing he deserves. If your resident dog is looking for a new best friend and you have a lap ready for a 60lb snuggler, Maximus is ready to meet you.

Gemini said Meet Simon, a handsome 1.5-year-old Shepherd who is searching for his very own "happily ever after" at the end of the rainbow! 🌈 This sweet and gentle lad is a bit of a shy clover at first, often needing a moment to realize he's safe and loved. ☘️ While he might start off a little nervous, his heart is pure gold, and with a patient touch, his true, affectionate personality begins to bloom like a spring meadow in Ireland. 🇮🇪 To keep him looking as sharp as a dapper lad on parade, Simon will need a bit of regular grooming to manage his lovely coat and keep him feeling his best. ✂️✨ The fastest way to this charming boy's heart, however, is a pocket full of treats and a collection of squeaky toys! 🦴 Simon absolutely lights up when it's playtime, and watching him proudly carry around a squeaker is enough to bring luck to anyone's day. 🍀 If you have a little patience and a lot of love to give, Simon will prove to be the most loyal treasure you'll ever find! 🐕✨

"STELLA" I'm BACK!CUTIE!!** BLUE-eyed little terrier mix "OHS- PORTLAND"

sorry to see that Stella is back in the shelter. Apparently in her short-term adoption home, she was afraid to leash walk, and didn't want to go outside in the rain (even *seasoned* dogs were refusing that during the heavy downpours we had then!)

PLEASE be patient. She really is a special dog and is much loved by volunteers. She will take longer to adjust now after her time of rotating homes/shelter stays.

"I'm in a quieter area. Please ask to meet me!" ~Stella

I have a medical condition that requires long term management.
Mental enrichment activities are a great way to entertain me and work my brain.
I need to be the only dog in the home.
High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my physical and mental exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
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.

The type of home I'm looking for:

I have had successful play dates with other dogs, but I didn't always like to share my space with my dog sibling in my last home... I need to be the only dog in the home.
