Martha, our 7 month old 19 pound cattle dog mix puppy, doesn't have thumbs. Why do we bring that up? Because we're pretty sure that's the only thing stopping Martha from taking over the world. Sure, we're biased because we love her, but Martha is the smartest kid in class. Time to find this little overachiever an A+ home.

Martha was found in a kennel by the side of the road. She was so starved she was nearly skeletal. (Side note: Why does this keep happening, Portland? Get it together; we're better than this.) Several weeks and many meals later, Martha is now as healthy as she is happy. Which has allowed Martha to discover her love of stuffies, chews and, most importantly, snuggles.

Although initally a little timid, Martha adores people. She will show her affection with full body flops onto willing participants. Martha has even been good with kids. She does some typical cattle dog herding, so we don't recommend kids under 10 in her home. Crate trained (with some initial whining), Martha is a good house guest. She is getting better with potty training and has been respectful of cats. Martha likes dogs as well but prefers dogs her size; big dogs are a little scary to her. We expect Martha to be less than 30 pounds fully grown.

Martha's ideal adopter will want to train a working dog puppy. This means lots of structure and games and exercise. Martha is good on a leash and has been on several outings, so we know she'll be a great adventure buddy for the right person.

Martha is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives.

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Funny, Playful

Marco, our 2 year old 18 pound pug mix, really overdoes the cute. He could have stopped at the underbite and big watery eyes. But, not our Marco. He added a curly tail and floppy personality. Then he thought he'd wear a little cowboy outfit to his veterinary appointment. Calm down, Marco. We get it; you're adorable.

Found stray after being hit by a car, Marco was the cutest guy to ever wear a splint. His front leg and pelvis were both broken. Thanks to the @1510Foundation for covering his care in it's entirety, we were able to get Marco in to the surgeon. Now healed, Marco's ready to strut his stuff all over town.

Marco is a very friendly dog and hasn't met a person that he doesn't like. He's crate and potty trained and has enjoys playing with other dogs. Marco chases the cats in his foster home, which annoys them, so we recommend no cats in Marco's future home. We haven't seen Marco with kids. He's very gentle, however, and we expect he would be fine with kids over 8.

Playful and goofy, Marco is loving being able to go on adventures around town. He's still very puppyish and like all young dogs, Marco could use a bit more training. For example, Marco is a little vocal when he wants attention and he's learning not to jump up.. His smile when he does something right makes it all worth it.

Marco is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives.

Think you can handle people constantly fawning over your dog?

"KEANU" AUSSIE/Shepherd MIX? *Velcrodog* *good with dogs, cats, kids* "STUMPTOWN STRAYS

 

 Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance.

"KEANU"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption $200  Breed: Shepherd Mix

Neutered male 2 yrs 50 lbs  Housetrained: yes

ok with Dogs - Yes,  Cats - Yes,   Kids - Yes

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Funny, Loves Kisses

adoption application

 

 Keanu, our 2 year old 50 pound shepherd mix, is named after the nicest guy in Hollywood. Why? Keanu is the nicest dog at Stumptown, of course. Does he know Kung Fu? We don’t think so. We’ve never seen Keanu with a surfboard nor have we seen him on a speeding bus. But, if you ask our Keanu his motto, it’s “Be excellent to each other”. It’s time to find this rad dog an equally bodacious home.

 

When he was found stray, Keanu was very thin and had such a bad flea infestation that his back was completely bald. Keanu had spent so much time chewing on his fur that his teeth had worn to nubs. Despite this history of neglect, Keanu had hearts-for-eyes for everyone he met.

He’s been with us for several weeks and Keanu’s hair is growing back beautifully. On a bland diet, his body finally started to gain weight. Once he was healthy enough, Keanu had his dental procedure - he had to lose quite a few teeth, but it’s honestly only made him cuter.

 

If given the choice, our Keanu would never sit alone on a park bench. Instead, he prefers to velcro to his favorite people. He’ll make eye contact all day if he could. He’s sweet and, when he wants attention, will kiss his person’s hand. Keanu is great with other dogs, both large and small, and is respectful of cats.

 

Keanu is crate and potty trained and very gentle. Where Keanu needs some help is with anxiety while on leash and around doors. We aren’t sure why, but Keanu gets a little frantic when a door is opened. He’s getting better about walking on lead, but still doesn’t quite understand what he’s supposed to be doing. To help Keanu with these anxieties, we’ve started him on Prozac. We recommend he stay on this for several months while he’s learning the ropes.

Keanu is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventions. Due to his flea sensitivity, his adopter will need to keep him up to date - we’ll send Keanu’s adopter with several months to start. His adoption fee is $200.

Have you been hoping to be adored by a sweet sheppy mix? Well, as our Keanu would say, party on, dude. Apply to adopt on our website! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application

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

SAMOSA female Speaking of big, our Samosa is a tank. If she were a human, she'd be on the rugby team. Samosa is the goofiest and most confident; she's also the first to pass out.

RUFFLES  female  Ruffles is equal parts sweet and smart. The most sensitive of the group, Ruffles is likely thinking big thoughts. 

 

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

 

 

 JOJO  female Jojo is the adventurer. She's the most comfortable in a new space and is the most likely to practice her northern breed voice.

 

 

 

 7 weeks on 7/19/26 (born 5/31/26) The puppies will be available for adoption after they're spayed on July 25th.

The Potato Puppies, our 7 week old shepherd-malamute mixes, would like to introduce a little chaos into your life. Living room too tidy? Shoes annoyingly where they should be? Let the Potato Puppies help. They'll happily rearrange your bookshelf while putting tiny holes in your toes.

Orphaned at just hours old, our team of volunteers worked very hard to bottle feed the potatoes. It took heaps of formula to get the puppies from kiwi sized to watermelon sized. We're pretty confident that our potatoes will be the biggest ones at the farmer's market - based on their DNA tests, they should be 60-80 pounds fully grown.

They have been dewormed and microchipped and are current on their vaccines. The puppies have been socialized to lots of people and lots of other dogs. 

It will be a requirement for the adopter of any Potato puppy to enroll in training. We weren’t kidding when we said they are chaos agents -just like every puppy ever. Thanks to the 15/10 Foundation, the puppies all come with a $500 training stipend! So really, there’s no reason NOT to take them to class.Have the time (and room) for one of our Potatoes?

ok with Dogs - Yes,  Cats -unknown,   Kids- Yes

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Dignified, Gentle

adoption application

Popcorn, our 10 year old 13 pound poodle, loves to be comfy. Give the guy some blankets and he'll carefully arrange them to maximize luxury. Considering the state Popcorn was in when we met him, we don't blame him one bit.

Popcorn was found stray and was so matted that the shelter wasn't sure if he could see. We took Popcorn in and had to immediately shave him. We found multiple grass seeds imbedded in between toes, in his cheeks, even in his ear canals. Fortunately Popcorn's eyes were just fine; they had just been matted shut for a long time. The next step was to address Popcorn's teeth - he had many painfully infected ones. Now that he's recovered from multiple extractions and his haircut is growing out, Popcorn is finally feeling great.

In his foster home, Popcorn has been an easy keeper. He is housetrained and although he doesn't want to be in a kennel, Popcorn is respectful when left alone. He is great with other dogs; we have not see Popcorn with cats but could do an introduction if needed.

A bit timid, it can take Popcorn some time to warm up to new people. Once he does, he is affectionate and sweet. Popcorn is, like all of us, startled by being picked up suddenly. For that reason, we recommend older kids in Popcorn's home. He loves walks, cuddle sessions and sniffing around the yard.

Popcorn is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives.

Popcorn is looking for someone to help him maintain the lifestyle to which he has become accustomed. This shouldn't be too hard - just some spare cushions and a periodic haircut. Think you're up for it?
