I hear there’s some famous dude named Harrison Ford…guess he’s really handsome or something…but I bet he ain’t got nothing’ on me! I’ll give him a run for his money…sexiest man alive, sheesh. Check me out. Talk about sexiest dog alive—not only do I have charming good looks, I’ve got a soft, gentle personality. Quite sensitive and insecure in fact. A confidence boost would go a long way. I get along great with other dogs and can share my home with dog-savvy cats. Plus, I am super sweet and affectionate, but sensitive in new situations. It takes me a bit to trust, so I like strangers to take things slow, offer me a few tasty treats to win my trust. You know, give me a few moments to warm up. A family with children 8+ and a quiet home will be the winning combination for me. I’ve got a nice low-key energy level and a desire to please. I’m already crate trained, have a good start on basic commands but I do ask for plenty of patience. Due to a congenital deformity called hydrocephalus my eyesight isn’t great and my reflexes can be a bit slow. No big deal, right? Move along, Mr. Ford, I got this in the bag.

2 years old-46lbs. My adoption fee is $240 and includes microchip & registration, neuter, reduced-cost training class, free veterinary exam, leash/collar, toy & treat packet, food sample.

 

"HARRISON" is Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
MCAS hours/ Location

Animal ID: 2783416  2 yrs, 46 lbs

At this time, community members aren't able to visit the shelter to browse adoption kennels, and adoptions are limited to the virtual process. Harrison's skull appears more dome-shaped than typical, which is consistent with congenital hydrocephalus, increased accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the skull cavity. His reaction time seems a bit slower than other dogs and he appears slightly weak/uncoordinated in his hind legs, but otherwise his behavior seems normal. He's probably not suited for catching toys or treats mid-air or going on long-distance walks or runs, but other than that he will probably have a normal life.
