"TIKI" cute as a button

ADOPTED!

10/30/11

Tiki may be low to the ground but that doesn't mean she can't keep up!  This lil lady has just the right amount of energy and mellow that makes for a perfect companion in any loving home with children 10 years or older.  Tiki wears a black tie outfit and while her manners are impeccable....she could use a brush-up.  Shelter will require classes, but this gal learns quick and is eager to please!

"GAIA" a wonderful Shepherd!

ADOPTED!

10/29/11

"I've come to realize that I am drawn to crazy looking mixed breed dogs, and if you came to my home that's what you'd usually find.  However, if I were to choose a favorite purebred dog it would be the German Shepherd Dog such as Gaia, today's shelter pet poster dog.  She has a lot working against her, big, black, shaggy, fat, and about nine years old.  But she has things working for her as well - the history and dignity of her breed, the staff and volunteers at the shelter, and YOU - the folks that help to connect the homeless pets and the wonderful people in our community that will take older dogs into their homes and hearts."  - Rosemary, MCAS volunteer/networker

Well, yes, okay, so Gaia is watching 'The Biggest Loser" every week for inspiration, and getting lots of encouragement from shelter volunteers, as she needs to lose quite a few pounds.  At 9 years old and 107lbs, this girl is hoping for a single dog home, that will be patient with her progress and take her for slow strolls and feed her healthy food.

In return, she will provid you with warm feet while watching tv, and unconditional love and loyalty.  Who could ask for anything more?  This is one of the nicest German Shepherds we've met.

Please help this girl find her way to her forever cozy home!

Ah!  Ain't life grand!  

"Boise" is a happy-go-lucky, easy-going girl, who's looking for life in the slow lane....but maybe not tooooo slow, as she could shed some pounds...slowly.  

Boise, a beagle X, is a glorious 15 years old and 49lbs, and is ready for some TLC in the form of very mild exercise, healthy low calorie food, and gentle belly rubs.   

Consider opening your heart, just enough to let these 45lbs of sweetness in, and you're home will be enriched with fortified gratefulness, loyalty, and love!

"DWAYNE" perfection in black

ADOPTED!

10/16/11

Yes, that's right!  Dwayne is a gem!  To quote our MCAS's amazing trainer Cindy:  "Shelter pick of the day....GREAT with dogs, GREAT with people!"

At just 2 years old and a cuddly 64lbs, Dwayne is hands down a remarkable and loving fella.  He will make an excellent indoor companion in any loving, forever home! 

Watch his music video here:

Because of silly superstitions, and Hollywood depictions of bad guys wearing black, black dogs in shelters are often overlooked, and are generally the last to be adopted.  This is known as "Black Dog Bias," you can read more here.  So why not make a statement and adopt sweet Dwayne, or another black dog from the shelter!  Anyone who adopts a black dog or cat from a shelter is OK in our book!

Dwayne is at Multnomah County Animal Shelter.  See his online profile here:

Aphrodite • Looking for her Forever-Home

ADOPTED!

10/7/11

Aphrodite is currently in foster care and looking for her forever-home. She is a bit overweight now, but is still a lovely middle-aged pit bull-type dog. She is happy at home, but would be even happier to get out for walks more. She has been fostered by the finder for at least 3 months. She is very social when meeting new people coming into her home.

Aphrodite  currently shares her foster home with 2 mellow male pit bull dogs. She also lives with a handsome, big easy-going Orange male Tabby, but the foster mom is very savvy about letting Aphrodite know that the cat is not to be touched. She could possibly live with a cat, but only for smart managers. Call the animal shelter to schedule an appointment to meet this sweet lady.
