MORE INFOPetfinder post  Meet Hunter

Hunter is a stunning male Doberman that was saved from a very neglectful situation in California by Animal Control. When he was found, he had been starved down to 38 pounds and has gained 30 pounds in foster. He's filled out nicely to 68 pounds currently.

Hunter is a typical, Velcro Doberman who loves people and almost instantly does the Doberman lean in to show you affection. Natural ears and docked tail.

- Approximately 3-4 years old

- Could be wonderful as a solo dog. Excellent with female dogs and would love a playful girl dog companion in his future home! Hunter is a very animated and playful dog so if there is another dog in the home, it would be best if they were into that. He has been fostered with both male and female large breed dogs and has not shown any aggression, however he can be pushy with wanting to play and the dogs he is fostered with have not been into wanting to play with him.

- Seeking an adult only home. Hunter is sensitive to kids and nipped a child previously (he did not break skin) and therefore his best placement would be in an adult only home. Hunter does not go out of his way to get to children, he just is uncomfortable living in a home with them.

- No cats. He does want to chase them.

- Crate trained and will go in on his own to nap. Doesn't mind sleeping in his crate at night. Does not break out of the crate. No separation anxiety observed.

- Couch cuddler and pretty reasonable, medium energy in the house.

- Uses a front clip, no pull harness for walks as he does pull some. He has not exhibited leash reactivity and he really enjoys his walks to explore the neighborhood.

- Confident, adventurous dog who would love to go all the places with you!

- Bonds equally with men and women and is social to both genders

- Loves his toys and chews

- Happily loads into a vehicle, lies down and is calm for car rides. No car sickness.

- Smart and eager to train with you. Knows sit and shake currently. He will also wait during meal times for you to set his bowl down and release him to eat.

- Could live in a condo or apartment if breed is allowed and owner is active and exercises him regularly. Currently is fostered in a condo in an urban area without a fenced yard and does well.

- A quirk is that he's not comfortable doing indoor staircases. He will do stairs to get into a home. But once inside, he doesn't go up to the second floor. This could likely be trained but would take some work.

Hunter is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, fecal tested negative, and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner vet clinics in Oregon City, Portland, Milwaukie or Tualatin.

Meet Sam{Sammy}, a vibrant, pint-sized 6-year-old American Husky mix with a zest for life! This playful girl is always ready for an adventure, whether it's a brisk walk in the park, a game of fetch, or learning new tricks (she's incredibly food-motivated!). Sam's high energy means she'd thrive in an active home with plenty of opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. She's a smart cookie and eager to please, making training a rewarding experience for both of you. 🌟 Important Note: Sam does exhibit some resource guarding of her food and toys. Potential adopters should be aware of this and willing to work with her using positive reinforcement techniques to manage this behavior. This may require some patience and understanding. Additionally, Sam is handling sensitive, and can be a bit cautious in new situations, and she needs a patient and understanding adopter who will give her time to adjust. 🐾 Once she builds trust, she blossoms into a loving and loyal companion. She's looking for a forever home where she can feel safe and secure, and in return, she'll shower you with affection and endless entertainment. If you're ready for a fun-loving and devoted furry friend, and are prepared to work with her resource guarding and sensitivity, Sam might just be the perfect match!

"IZZIE" amazing DOBIE/ Border Collie mix * in foster- "YAKIMA HUMANE SOCIETY:

 Yakima Humane Society   info

Dogs on their website   https://yakimahumane.org/adopt/dogs/ 

(IZZIE is in a Foster Home )

Yakima, WA is a long drive from Portland, but the Yakima Humane Society seems like a decent animal shelter that could use a boost for attention.   They spay/neuter all their adoption pets and try to do adequate adoption screening (which is more than can be currently said of Mult County animal shelter!)

IZZIE intake 3/21/25  Pet id 57093893  Adoption fee $175

FB Post In foster "Listed as" Doberman/BorderCollie", female, 2 years 5 months 26 days  

"Izzie is another one of our amazing dogs in foster. Read below for a little write up from her foster mom and head on over to our website to apply to adopt her today!
 
Izzie is an adorable 2-year-old Doberman/ Border Collie mix. Izzie can be a bit shy when you first meet her, but with a little patience (and maybe some chicken jerky) she transforms into the silliest and most loving little girl. Inside the home Iz is an absolute cuddle bug. She wants to be right next to you, napping (normally on her back with her paws up in the air), or relishing in your attention and affection. She loves slow mornings that start with lots of cuddles. When her nightly zoomies kick in, she loves playing tug-of-war and will happily dart around the house, hoping you’ll chase her. 
 
Outside, Izzie enjoys exploring her surroundings and making new dog friends. She absolutely lights up when she gets to run and play with a furry companion and burn off some of her energy! She is very submissive with other dogs and does a good job at reading their body language to make sure they are also enjoying playing with her. She is a great running/ walking companion.
 
 Izzie is always excited to get outside, and she doesn’t pull on the leash. When she gets let off of her leash she likes to sniff around and explore but will always run right back to her person. 
 
Izzie rarely chews on items and can always be redirected with a bone or toy. When Izzie first came into foster care, she was pretty nervous and definitely had a few accidents. However, as she has gotten more comfortable, they have become increasingly rare, and she is good at letting you know if she needs to go out. She is not very food motivated, and often lets her breakfast sit until the afternoon (teenagers!).
 
 Izzie has a skittish side, especially with men, which may be the result of some past trauma. She is wary of strangers, but we have seen her gain so much confidence in approaching and engaging with people since coming into foster care. Once you earn her trust, you’ll have a devoted and loving best friend who just wants to be wherever you are.

"ACHILLES" URGENT! !!*Special FOSTER HOME Needed* Loving, playful fearful English Black Labrador"GOLDEN BOND RESCUE"

GOLDEN BOND RESCUE FB POST 4/11/25 


"We’re urgently looking for a special foster home for a young male English Black Lab (neutered, 1 year) who has been through more than any dog should."
 
 (CAN you Help??)
{please fill out a FOSTER Application with Golden Bond Rescue}

 
Meet Achilles 💛 He’s sweet, He’s playful. He’s full of potential. But right now—he’s also scared.
This beautiful boy is fearful of humans and needs a patient, experienced foster who can give him the calm, consistent environment he needs to feel safe. Someone who understands that trust takes time—but is willing to walk that journey with him.
Despite his fear, he wants to connect. He’s shown joy, curiosity, and affection. With the right person, we truly believe he’ll blossom into the loving, loyal companion he’s meant to be. He’s smart and eager to learn when given the chance. His current care taker says that he is pure love and just need time to build his confidence.
What he needs:
• A quiet, stable home
• An experienced dog handler or someone comfortable working with fearful dogs
• A secure yard or safe space to decompress
• Lots of patience, gentleness, and love
*No cats, until we learn more about him
*Gets along with other dogs but a calmer dog might be best. Has been reported to resource guard food and toys
He doesn’t need perfection—he just needs someone to see the dog he can be, not just the fear he’s carrying now.
If you or someone you know has the heart, time, and experience to help this deserving pup, please reach out. Giving him a chance doesn’t just change his life—it just might change yours too. 🙏🏼
🌟 If you would like to help and live in our foster/adoption area of WA/OR and you are able to foster Achilles, please email Brittany at brittamarillas@gmail.com
🌟 If you have an approved adoption application on file with GBR and are interested in fostering Achilles, please reach out to your Adoption Manager or Brittany at brittamarillas@gmail.com"

Hermes is a top dog with a heart of gold! This intelligent, affectionate, and gentle boy has been a longer-term resident with us since December and is ready to find his forever family. 💕 He's a sweet guy and a real cuddler, he will happily lean in for affection once he is comfortable and has appropriately met everyone! After he's gotten his energy out for the day, he's happiest just hanging out and cuddling with his loved ones. Hermes still has that youthful dog energy and enjoys walks, playing fetch, and has even trotted happily alongside his person for short distances. He also LOVES participating in playgroup with many of his dog friends, though he is partial to the ladies!🐾 He's eager to learn and already knows several commands, including sit, stay, and almost lay down. He's also a champ on leash (harness attached)! He's currently working on his door manners, learning to wait patiently, sit while leashing/ unleashing, and wait for his people to enter the house before him. Because of his desire to be with his people, he'd do best with a person or family who is home more often than not and a home with children over 8 years of age.
