Meet Mirage, a one-year-old Husky with a captivating gaze and an air of enigma. Like a desert mirage, she may seem distant at first, but with patience and understanding, her true beauty shines through. Mirage can be a bit reserved and cautious around new people and experiences. She has some handling sensitivities, so a gentle and respectful approach is key. But beneath her initial hesitation lies a curious and playful spirit, eager to explore the world on her own terms. This young Husky is bursting with energy and intelligence. 🧠 She needs an active home with someone who understands the unique needs of the breed. Mental and physical stimulation are essential to keep her happy and healthy. Long walks, hikes, puzzle toys, and training sessions will be her jam! If you're looking for a loyal and devoted companion who will keep you on your toes, Mirage might be a good match. With the right guidance and a loving home, she'll blossom into a confident and loving member of your family. Are you ready to unlock the secrets of Mirage's heart? ❤️ Kids in my new home need to be at least 12 years old

"GINGER" "STUMPTOWN STRAYS" gentle senior Pitmix

 "GINGER" is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption Fee: $250

Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix Age: 9 Years Old

Sex: spayed Female

Size: Medium

Housetrained: Yes

OK With Kids: Yes  

OK With Dogs: Yes

OK With Cats: No  

Ginger, our 49 pound 9 year old pitty mix, has never met a stuffy she didn't love. And if there are no stuffed toys available? Ginger will happily hold a ball, a stick, a frisbee...any object that can be thrown. So it was pretty tough on Ginger when she was healing from her dental surgery and couldn't hold anything. Now that this charmer is healed, she can't wait for a basket of toys in her own home.

Ginger came to us after her owners abandoned her at the shelter. She was so sweet and friendly that we were asked to take her in. Ginger loved the people and the dogs and the shelter, but she really needed her teeth fixed. Although Ginger had to lose several infected molars, she's much more comfortable without them.
Friendly, cuddly, and smart, Ginger is an easy keeper. She is polite in the house so her foster family has not had to crate her. She gets along well with large and small dogs, but chases cats, so no felines in her home. Housetrained, Ginger also knows sit, down, stay, come and shake. She'll do anything for affection and for someone to toss a toy for her.
Ginger is great on a leash and loves walks. She pulls a bit towards other people and dogs, but is easily redirected. Ginger has had normal senior blood work.
Like all of our Stumpies, Ginger is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. Her adoption fee is $250.
We can't know why Ginger was left at the shelter at 9 years old. But the person who gives this lovely dog a forever home will have hit the lottery. Is it you? Apply to adopt on our website. https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application

Hi! I am Buddy, a fun loving and energetic ball of curly floof. Dogs like me love to get out and play but are not always sure what to do with our mouths. I can tend to get so excited I jump for the first thing I see, and the game is on! My ideal family will be active, patient and use positive training methods to help me become a more refined pup. I think working with a trainer would be a fun way for us to bond and learn together. I am eager to learn and can't wait to show you how smart I am! I am currently in a foster home with a kitty, and may want to befriend a dog-savvy feline if you have one in your home. Apply to learn more about me today!
