HALO # 396611, Breed: German Shepherd spayed female 1 yr 8 mths 46 lbs
 
*Foster home* 

I'm so cute! Hi, my name is Halo, although my foster mom calls me Sadie. I'm about a year old and a wonderfully compact size for my breed-about 45 pounds, with a beautiful, shiny coat! I have all the happy energy of a young dog, and I love going for walks and running around. Can we go play? I'm also a total cuddle bug once I get to know you and love showering my people with affection! My foster mom says I'm a smart, beautiful work in progress! I'm actively learning great leash and mealtime manners, and I'm making progress on my house-training routine. Like any young pup, I love to explore the world with my mouth, so I do best with plenty of durable chew toys, puzzle feeders, and a dog-proofed space to keep me happily occupied. I currently live with a foster dog brother who gives me confidence and I love to wrestle and play! Because I have playful young-dog energy, I'd thrive with an active dog partner who loves to tumble and run. Sometimes, fast cars, strangers, or new dogs can make me feel a little timid, which just means I prefer slow, gentle introductions and a confident human to reassure me that I'm safe. My Ideal Home: Presence & Play: Someone who is home a lot to continue my routine, give me cuddle time, and let me run around in a secure, fenced yard. Shepherd Savvy: A family that understands German Shepherds-we are smart, sensitive, highly trainable, and have enormous hearts filled with so much love to give! Can we make each other's dreams come true? Apply to meet me today!

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.

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?
