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.

  • 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.

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.

"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
*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

What my friends at OHS say about me:
  • I would love to get up and go adventure with you.
  • Treats and time are the way to my heart! Give me some of each and as I get more comfortable my true personality will shine.
  • 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.
