"BAMBI" aka "RATATOUILLE" happy update

Happy Update Apr 2018  

"We adopted Ratatouille, now Bambi back in February. This Italian Greyhound is now in a loving home. I’m sure there are more great animals to adopt and love. I hope the discount will help encourage more people to check this this shelter out. It was worth the over 30 mile drive to find such a loving family member."  Jennifer O, Mcas Facebook post

Information About Italian Greyhounds
"Italian Greyhounds are a very special breed of dog.  They are incredibly affectionate, playful, athletic, smart and beautiful.  On the other hand, they can be sensitive, physically fragile, demanding and high maintenance.  IG owners recognize the trade-offs and find the “price” of living with an IG well worth it."

Hi, I'm Ratatouille, a sweet and shy little Italian Greyhound mix lady searching for a new home. I can be shy at first but give me a few minutes and a tasty treat or two and I'll be cuddled up on your lap in no time! I am really happiest being where my people are. Any children in my new home should be 8 years or older due to my fearfulness. I would love nothing more than to be your best friend and learn to be brave and walk well on leash. As I'm young, I'm still learning about things like house-training and manners. If you are seeking a relaxed and curious friend to keep you company through your life, then I am the dog for you! Through thick and thin, I will be by your side. I have meet other same-sized dogs here at the shelter and done well! THERE WILL BE A SIGN UP SHEET OUTSIDE THE SHELTER FOR ME 2/9/18 AT 11AM. THE SHELTER OPERATES ON A FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVE BASIS. 

 Ratatouille was just spayed the day of these pics, and still resting.

My name is Goofy 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 - or at least on the floor next to you! The shelter is recommending any resident dogs in my new home to be my size or larger, or that I be the only dog in my new home. I have some medical needs that will need to be discussed at my adoption. Please come to the shelter and ask about me today! I am about 12 years old and weigh 99 pounds.

My name is Sydney, but you could also call me sweetie, cutie, or just adorable! I just might be your dream come true. I am a beautiful, playful, and affectionate youngster. I still have growing up to do, and some confidence building is definitely in order, but I am smart, loyal, and eager to learn. I am at a great age to go hard and heavy on my training so that I can become a wonderful and confident dog. I am already crate trained and get along well with gentle children 8+ and other dogs, so a home with those will be fine by me—but no cats, please. My name is Sydney, but you can just call me your new best friend.

I'm Tribble - a mixed breed little fella searching for a new home. I came into the shelter in pretty rough shape and my friends here have been working to make me feel better! I only have one eye and will need some TLC to help get my skin back into tip top shape. I'm a little scared due to my past and would like a patient home to slowly help me learn that the world is not a scary place. As such, any children in my new home should be 12 years or older. I would love nothing more than the curl up on your lap or trot along with you on walks. If you are seeking a sweet friend to keep you company through your life, then I am the dog for you! Through thick and thin, I will be by your side.

WOW HI! My name is Jaime, I'm a 10 month old Husky pup that has TONS of energy! 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! I am not the kind of dog that will be good being cooped up all day. I am still learning my manners, and will need to go to a home with kids 5 and older! Ask to meet me today!  10 mths, 49lbs

Hello! Did I catch your eye? My name is Cersei, I am a fun, playful, and energetic Husky pup that is about 10 months old! I am looking for a home that understands that Huskies can't be cooped up all day! 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! The best family for me will be active and willing to tire me out! I am still learning my manners, and can be a little hyper and jumpy at times, so because of that I will need a home with kids 5 and older! Ask to meet me today! 

Cersei is less confident than her brother Jaime and will especially benefit from positive socialization. She's a beautiful young dog.

RUBY  here's my shelter Petfinder.com link  
Ruby is a great pup! Only 6 mths old, does a really good sit, likes to play with toys. We didn't play ball today - as she was just spayed and should take it easy for a few weeks please - but she definitely would have like to fetch the ball. Please make sure you can provide a great indoor home and will make the longterm commitment to provide Ruby with the time, exercise and mental
stimulation that she deserves from a new home!  6 mths, 42 lbs and growing
children 6 and up.

If this dog is appropriate for a home with children, you must bring children aged 12 and under to the shelter with you for the adoption process. Not all dogs and children are a perfect match, so we want to make sure that the dog you select is a family-friendly dog.
If you have one or more existing dogs in your home, we require a "meet and greet" between your dogs and the adoptive dog at our shelter. Please plan to bring your dog(s) with you before the adoption can be finalized so we can be sure that the dogs and the humans all agree this dog will be the perfect match for your family!
Adoptions are on a first-come first-served basis among approved applicants. We cannot hold pets, so when you are ready to select a pet, please come prepared.

Hello! It's so nice to meet you, I'm Henny Penny. A 5 year old Chihuahua mix that weighs 9lbs. It has taken me a little while to come out of my shell here at the shelter, but the staff have worked with me and given me lots of love and encouragement and I am getting more confident by the day! It does take me a little bit to warm up to new people, but I have learned in the time that I've been here that not everyone is so scary! There is nothing I love more than a cozy, warm bed, some good company, and treats! Once I get home and form a bond with you, I will be by your side forever! I would do best in a more quiet adult only household because fast movements and loud noises tend to scare me. I have met a few dog friends during my time here at the shelter, and I have done well with them! I should still meet any dogs that my future family might have already in the home.  5 yrs 9 lbs
I am currently in a different part of the shelter - Ask to meet me today!

Hi my name is Hoss and I'm a gentle giant, just like the character on Bonanza! As you've probably noticed, I need to lose a few pounds and with some daily exercise it should come right off. I'm 6 years old and weigh a hefty 96 pounds. Here are some of the things my foster mom has discovered about me: I'm house trained, love to go on walks, play with any type of toy, respectful of young children and I'll even sleep in your bed at night if you let me! I also love to cuddle and to be the center of attention. Oh, and I get along great with the small dog I'm currently living with. I really think I would like to have a dog friend to play with. I haven't been around any cats so I'm not sure how I would be. If you're looking for your best friend, please email my foster mom at Yukonsue@msn.com to set up a time to meet me. You'll be happy you did!

 Willow here! I am a 6 year old pittie mix who is as sweet as pie. I love, love, love toys, zoomies in the backyard, doggie massages and little rump scratches. I love to snuggle and am an easy house guest. I am house trained and good on the leash. I am a nervous girl though and need a family who can help me feel more safe. I am nervous around loud sounds and need a little more time to warm up to most men. I would love to have a canine friend in my new home if you have one but would be ok either way. I would love a home with kids over the age of 8 years. I have a bit of stiffness in my hind end and would prefer a home with no stairs or maybe just a couple. I am taking a break from the busy shelter in a foster home. If you would like to meet me, please email the foster coordinator at foster@multco.us or call 503-988-6670 to set up a time.   6 yrs 72 lbs

"L.J." UPDATE YAY! Portland community - please step up!

 ADOPTED!!!

May 2018

Let's all think good thoughts that it works out well for this sweetie!

"Long-term shelter and foster dog, LJ, was adopted by Elaina today after being in our care since August 2017. Many thanks to everyone who helped and cheered LJ along the way."

 

Can you please help L.J find his forever home?
L.J. is unique - from the way he sometimes sits double jointed with his legs turning back - to the roll of his tongue - to his wide open gaze, with possibly a bit of Boxer in the more pronounced eyes. A gentle older guy.

L.J  needs a home where someone is home much of the time, and who will give him a stable structure
so he can feel secure when left alone for a few hours, and might benefit from another compatible
big dog in the home for when you go out.  This cool guy is  basically otherwise a low maintenance, very lovable, easy going boy. His Mcas foster mom stepped up and brought L.J. into her home a few months ago, and worked with L.J. so she could show everyone what a great dog he is.
And she succeeded!!  But now she needs to be able to move on, and help other dogs.

MCAS has taken care of LJ. for over a year now. Please, it's time for the rest of the Portland Community to show your support for the local Multnomah County open intake shelter, and step up and find this sweetie a forever home!

Hey there! Are you looking for a one of a kind, fabulous dog? Are you looking to help be a special person for a dog that has had a rough life and needs to change that course? Are you home a lot and just need a buddy to keep you company? If you are thinking yes to these questions - then I would like to introduce myself! I am LJ. I am a 9 year old Pittie mix and all 60 pounds of me are full of love. I love to snuggle, take walks and follow you from room to room. I am a loyal companion and a champion snuggle monster. I am goofy with my double jointed legs and tongue that hangs out sometimes but I am also regal and sophisticated as I rest my head on your couch pillows. I am totally house trained and my foster mom says that I am the easiest house guest. I am doing great with training and feel completely ready to find my own forever home. I have some fabulous K9 friends but there are also some that aren't my favorite so the shelter would love for us to do a meet and greet before going home. I would love if my home had kids that were over the age of 6 years and no small animals please. There is one last thing you should know about me. I struggle with anxiety when my people leave me. I am learning about how to feel more confident in my foster home but its still hard when you leave. If you are interested in meeting me, please contact the foster coordinator to set up a time to meet me! You can reach her at 503-988-6670 or email at foster@multco.us to learn more about me! **

I love belly rubs from my favorite people

LJ did great at his KOIN appearance. He settled nicely while we waited, was not phased by elevators, strangers and the hustle and bustle of TV life.
