My name is Felicity and I am the dog who is always prepared for a marathon - as long as it is a movie marathon. There is nothing I love more than a cozy, warm bed and some good company. We can discuss our favorite foods while you give me pets and attention. I promise to provide you with lots of laid-back love and friendship if you save me a spot on the couch! I am a very sensitive girl and am looking for an adult only home where I can feel secure and be able to relax. Are you that special person? I am about 8 years old and weigh 24 pounds.

Hi, I'm Blaze, a handsome Pitbull mix fella searching for my new home! I can be very shy at first but once I warm up, I'll give you sweet kisses and we can go for long walks together - I really love taking walks! I can be dog-selective so I would require a meet-and-greet with any current dogs in your home. Because of my past, I cannot go home with any animals smaller than myself. I've been very fearful in the shelter so I would like a home that can be patient and spend the time to work with me and build up my confidence. Any children in my new home would need to be 7 years or older. I'm a big sweetheart and am looking for the perfect place to help me learn that the world is not too scary!

Hello there! My name is Stewie and I am an active young snuggle machine. I am a super fast learner and can't wait for you to show me the way. I have been spending some time in a foster home and they have found out so much about me. I am extremely cuddly and just want to be as close as possible to you 24/7. Are you looking for a shadow? I am good about sleeping on my bed next to yours and am learning about all the great things that come with living inside. I am still learning about house training but its only been a couple days and I am already starting to get the hang of it so I think that will happen easily. I already know "sit" and "lay down" and I am working on my "stay". I have met many dogs during my time at the shelter and just can't get enough of playing with them. Speaking of love...do you have toys? Because, well those are my favorite too! I am great at fetch and will bring back just about anything you toss for me. I have been waiting for a new home for almost a year now and the shelter staff and volunteers are so in love with me but just can't wait for me to find my forever family. My adoption comes with some special requirements regarding fencing and my time out of the yard but I promise they are worth it! I would also prefer kids in the home to be over the age of 10 years. Talk to an adoption counselor today to find out all about me! I am back from my vacation and at the shelter if you are interested in meeting me today come on down!

it's so great to see him outside of the shelter!!! 

 

MCAS Volunteers love Stewie!

from Facebook:
"Volunteer here- I have walked Stewie many different times. He is so sweet, and not the least bit intimidating. He's so eager to please and LOVES going on walks. He's great on leash. He sits quietly while waiting to be let out of his kennel. He's so young and deserves the perfect home that will keep him safe and pile him with love".

"STEWIE!!!! On of the best things about volunteering at the shelter is getting to see these dogs grow and blossom. Stewie is a GEM! I would argue, the smartest dog there. We regularly use him in playgroups to help assess other pups play style. He's non-reactive and and super funny. He has a bit of a rough play style, but still appropriate. When the evacuation was looming at the shelter, we immediately offered to take him. He would do GREAT with our dog and I had no worries about him. He will live a full and amazingly great life, especially with continued positive/reward based training. I'll miss him SO much when he finds his forever home"

"Volunteer here - I walk Stewie two to three times a week and he is so fun to walk! He walks really good on a leash and is always ready for an adventure! He is such a sweet and friendly dog. I love this guy!!" 

here are some other comments recently made to Stewie's photoblog posting. Please note that as a volunteer, I'm not able to directly answer any questions/concerns, and you would need to direct them to the shelter for a response. Please note that the restrictions were imposed by a judge, not MCAS, and as such, they can't be reviewed until a year has passed from the time Stewie was officially released to shelter ownership (in June 2017?)  Some of us believe that a muzzle restriction would only apply in Multnomah Co.

"Stewie remains at MCAS not because of who he is but because of pointless thoughtless restrictions imposed upon his adoption. He has been at MCAS for nearly a year. The single incident that caused his impoundment and restrictions on his adoption occurred a year ago when Stewie and his brother escaped an insecure fenced yard; a minor bite occurred while both were at large resulting in his classification although no one could even confirm it was Stewie who bit. So in an excess of precaution both were classified. Stewie has since more than proven himself in a difficult shelter environment getting along well with many personalities and dogs. He has been repeatedly used as a tester dog even having fur ripped out of him during one of the test introductions. MCAS has the discretion to lift the restrictions imposed upon Stewie. He has more than proven himself a lovable caring dog." anonymous 

"Stewie is such a doll. I know that when he finds a forever home, he will absolutely blossom. He is so sweet and eager to please. Once he finds the right family, he will love them unconditionally." 

"Is there any chance that MCAS would lift the classification/restrictions if he and his owner met some condition(s)? Like, if he completed Canine Good Citizen training and testing? I have been looking for a dog a lot like Stewie, but I have kids and we are often around other kids and playgrounds, etc., and I just don't think it would work to have a dog with his classification, and the muzzle restriction it requires. (We would fulfill the other restrictions even if they were not required--though have a secure yard and wouldn't leave a dog outside alone, anyway.)
It just seems like the classification is at odds with everything else about him, including the fact that they consider him adoptable."

My name is Boomer and I have never met an activity I did not like! If you love exercise and keeping active, then we will be fast friends. I will go for a run in the morning, a hike in the afternoon, play fetch in the evening, and unwind with some play at home before bed - and I would love nothing more than to have someone who can keep up with me. It is important that I have an outlet for my boundless energy, so let us get together and explore the outdoors! If you have kids in the home, they will need to be over the age of 8 years due to some handling sensitivities. I am about 2 years old and weigh 78 pounds.

If you have kids in the home, they will need to be over the age of 15 years, as I do not like to share food. I am about 9 years old and weigh a thin 55 pounds.
