  • I came all the way to OHS through the Second Chance Program.

  • I can be worried and anxious in new surroundings. I may take time to adjust to a new environment.
  • If you have a vacant lap, I would be glad to keep it warm!
  • Are you ready for me and you to be stuck like glue?
  • Caution: I will steal your heart!
  • 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 can be easily surprised by unpredictable people. I may do best with children who can be slow and gentle with me.

LINCOLN, Pit Bull Terrier neutered male, 5 yrs $250
 
kids- unknown, Cats- unknown, Dogs- ok 
 
 
Meet Lincoln -- a 5-year-old pit bull who's ready for his forever family. ❤️

Lincoln's love language?
Butt pats
Long, romantic walks where you tell him he's the most handsome boy
Trying very hard to pretend those "winter cookies" never happened...

Let's just say Lincoln may have been a little too committed to his winter bulk. Now he's looking for a workout buddy who's willing to trade a few extra laps around the block for plenty of tail wags and laughs. Summer bodies are made in the spring... or whenever Lincoln decides it's time. No judgment here!

He's got the looks, the charm, and enough personality to keep you smiling every day. All he needs now is someone to share adventures, couch cuddles, and a healthy snack (don't mention the cookies).

If you're looking for a loyal best friend who's equal parts handsome, hilarious, and hopelessly devoted to butt pats, Lincoln is your guy.

Come meet Lincoln--he promises to steal your heart... and, if left unattended, probably your cookies too. 🐾❤️

Lincoln's adoption fee is $250. He is already neutered and updated on his vaccinations. Please contacts us at ccacadoptions@gmail.com for questions and inquiries.

"KIT" AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON" Corvallis OR

  "KIT"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON   Corvallis OR

SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON

KIT Breed: Shepherd, Australian  spayed female, 8Y/0M/3W  61lbs   $200

*Not Good with Cats
*Good with Kids
*Housetrained
*Needs a fenced yard
*Needs to be the only pet
Hi, I’m Kit! I’m an 8-year-old Blue Australian Shepherd with 50 pounds of energy, loyalty, and love to share. My dad is 81 and is moving into assisted living, so even though my family wishes they could keep me, they already have two dogs of their own. They're hoping to find me a home where I can be just as loved as I've always been.

If you're someone who enjoys getting outside, we might be the perfect match. Walks are one of my favorite things, and I never say no to a game of fetch. Whether it's a neighborhood stroll, a hike through the woods, or tossing a ball around the backyard, I'm happiest when I get to spend time being active with my person.

I'm an affectionate, confident girl who also has an independent streak. At home, I like to keep an eye on things. If I hear someone outside, I'll let you know with a bark—it's my job, after all! But once guests come inside, you'll see that I'm all wiggles and friendly greetings. Away from home, I'm incredibly social and enjoy meeting new people.

I've had puppy classes and even spent two months working with a licensed trainer, so I know commands like sit, stay, and drop. I walk nicely on a leash and am a wonderful companion for everyday adventures.

I've never lived with other dogs or cats. I'm generally aloof around other dogs, and while I tend to bark or growl at cats, I may not be the best fit for a feline family. I did spend a few weeks around children ages 4 to 7 and was gentle, friendly, and excited to be with them.

My dream home has a securely fenced yard where I can safely stretch my legs and play. I sleep freely inside the house at night and I'm used to being alone for no more than a couple of hours at a time.

If you're looking for a loyal hiking buddy, a fetch enthusiast, and a best friend who will happily join you on life's adventures, I can't wait to meet you. I think we could make a pretty great team.

"FINLEY" *9 yr YELLOW LAB *Godd with Kids, Cats, Dogs* "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON" Corvallis OR

SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON

FINLEY  neutered male, 9Y/0M/0W  81lbs   $200

*Good with Dogs
*Good with Kids
*Good with Cats
*Housetrained

 

Hi, I’m Finnley! I’m a 9-year-old blond Labrador Retriever, and I’m 81 pounds of sweetness, snuggles, and very good-boy energy.

I’ve spent my life around people and animals, and I get along wonderfully with just about everyone. I’ve lived with other dogs, cats, and children from toddler age on up, and I’m friendly and gentle with them all. I especially enjoy having dog friends! I love playing with other pups at the dog park, and my ideal new home would have another friendly dog to keep me company.

Even though I’m officially a senior, I’m still an adventurous guy. I enjoy hiking, trips to the dog park, and spending time outside, but I’m equally happy settling in for some serious snuggling. I can climb stairs and get in and out of the car on my own. If I spend an entire day playing hard, my hips can get sore, so I may need a little help remembering that I’m nine and not two!

I’m a smart boy, too. I know “sit,” “lay,” “shake,” and “stay.” My friends describe me as affectionate, confident, gentle, playful, quiet, chill, and very snuggly. More than anything, I LOVE attention. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily soak up every bit of love you have to give, I volunteer!

My current home can no longer give me the care and attention I need, so some wonderful friends who have known and loved me for the past six years stepped in to help. They’ve made sure I have a safe place to stay while everyone works together to find me a permanent home where I can be loved and cared for.

I grew up with a little girl who is now grown, so I know what it means to be part of a family. What I’d really like now is to belong again.

My dream? A loving home, plenty of attention, and maybe another dog to share my days with. I really can’t get enough love — and I have an awful lot of it to give right back.

Could I be your sweet boy?


"LUCY" senior CHIHUAHUA " SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON" Corvallis OR

 

  "LUCY"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON   Corvallis OR

SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON

LUCY Breed: Chihuahua, Short Coat  spayed female, 14Y/2M/3W  9 lbs   $200

*Housetrained
*Not Good with Kids
*Not good with Dogs
*Not Good with Cats
 
 Hi, I’m Lucy! I’m a tiny 9-pound Chihuahua with 14 years of life experience, and these days I’m looking for a quiet place where I can enjoy my golden years with someone who appreciates a gentle little companion.

I’m an affectionate, quiet and snuggly girl who loves being close to my person. One of my favorite places is curled up on the bed, and at night I’m used to sleeping right alongside my human. I also enjoy walks and, once I’m comfortable with you, I absolutely love being petted. I can be shy and nervous around unfamiliar people at first, so I appreciate someone who will give me a little time to settle in and feel safe.

I haven’t lived with dogs, cats or children. Other dogs tend to make me anxious, and I can be nervous around children, so a quiet, mellow home without a lot of activity would probably suit me best. My experience with cats is unknown.

For 14, I still get around pretty well, but my hind legs aren’t as strong as they used to be. Jumping up and down can be difficult for me, so I may need a little help getting onto my favorite cozy spots. One important thing to know is that I don’t like being picked up from underneath my front legs, so please handle me gently and carefully.

I’m also a picky eater with some special dietary needs. My current diet includes chicken and liver because I haven’t been able to eat regular dog food. My future family should be prepared to work with a veterinarian to make sure I’m getting the nutrition I need.

My person is getting older too, and caring for me has become more than they can manage. They want me to find someone who can give me the extra care a senior girl deserves.

I may be tiny, but I have plenty of love to give. If your idea of a good day includes a peaceful home, gentle walks, lots of petting and a little Chihuahua curled up beside you, I’d love to meet you.

"MAKOON" CUTIE!! Small MYSTERY MIX *Lived with CAT* "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON" Corvallis OR

 

 "MAKOON"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON   Corvallis OR

 SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON

MAKOON  neutered male 11Y/8M/0W  27 lbs

Breed: Mixed breed (small) 

*Housetrained
*Crate trained
*Not Good with Kids
 
Hi, I’m Makoon! I’m an 11-year-old, 27-pound mixed-breed gentleman with a chocolate-brown coat, a sweet soul, and a few tricks up my sleeve. I may be a senior, but don’t let my age fool you—I still love getting out for a good walk, especially if there’s a river involved!

I’m a pretty chill guy who enjoys the simple things in life: leisurely walks, lots of pets, and snuggling up with my people. Fetch? No thank you. I have better things to do! I’m also quite the talented fellow. I know sit, roll over, lay down, and shake. My best trick is when you make a finger gun and say “bang!”—I’ll dramatically play dead. I’ve still got it!

I’ve lived with both dogs and cats. I’m friendly with other dogs, and while I can be friendly with cats, they can sometimes make me a little nervous. Children are harder for me. I can be fearful, nervous, and unpredictable around them, so I’m looking for an adult home where I can feel safe and comfortable.

I’m happy hanging out inside or spending time outdoors, and I’m fine being left alone for a couple of hours. I can still manage stairs and hop in and out of the car on my own, although I am an old man and sometimes I take things at my own pace. I’ve had some dental problems, so soft food is best for me. I can also be protective of my food, so I’ll need a family who understands and respects that.

My person loves me very much but is facing a difficult life transition and can no longer give me the stability and care I deserve. Finding me a safe, loving home is part of making sure I’m taken care of.

My dream? Someone who loves walks, trips to the river, quiet companionship, and plenty of snuggling. I don’t need anything fancy—just a safe home, a soft bed, and someone who will love this old guy for all the wonderful years I still have ahead of me.
