"CHAKA KHAN" TERRIER/CHIHUAHUA "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON "

 "CHAKA KHAN"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 


CHAKA KHAN  Terrier / Chihuahua, Short Coat  spayed female
12Y/2M/3W, 20 lbs   $200  *housetrained *needs a fenced yard *not good with cats   *Good with dogs
 
 
 
Hi there, I’m Chaka Kahn — yes, like the singer! I’m a 12-year-old terrier/chihuahua mix weighing about 20 pounds, with a sleek black-and-white coat and a big personality to match my famous name.

For most of my life, I’ve been my human’s devoted companion. I’ve always taken my job seriously — staying close, being loyal, and keeping my person company through life’s ups and downs. Sadly, my human moved into a senior care center and can’t take me along, so I’m looking for a new place to spend my golden years.

I’m happiest in a calm, quiet home where I can be loved and feel safe. I’m not a fan of cats — I’ll chase them if I get the chance — so a cat-free home is a must as well as a fenced yard.

Once I feel safe and settled, I’m a loyal little dog who enjoys being near my person. I’m used to having the run of the house during the day and love curling up in a comfy chair for long naps. I really appreciate having someone around most of the time and am game for a car ride anytime!
I still enjoy getting out for walks and car rides — there’s a whole world of smells out there! What I need most now is a patient, dog-savvy person who will give me the time and understanding I need to feel secure again.

If you have a quiet home, a comfy chair, and room in your heart for a loyal companion, I just might be your girl. Together, we could make these golden years pretty special.

Retriever, Black Labrador
 spayed female

*needs fenced yard  *good with kids *good with dogs *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 lady weighing in at about 75 pounds of love and loyalty.

I’ve grown up around kids and other dogs, so I understand family life. 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.

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

CODY
Dachshund / Chihuahuat
 spayed female
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.

Meet Eeyore, a polite and well-mannered 6-year-old gentleman who is eager to please, already knows "sit," "shake," and "lay down," and is gentle with children and other dogs. He is a sensitive soul who warms up quickly with treats and sweet talk, but he comes with critical requirements: he has a high prey drive towards cats and small animals and pulls very hard on the leash in pursuit, so he must go to a home without any small pets and needs a vigilant adopter committed to constantly monitoring and managing this behavior. 🥰❤️
