Hi! I'm Carmichael and I'm excited to meet you!I am an exuberant 9-month-old pup who loves bubbles! When I see the bubbles come out, I can hardly contain my excitement. Watch me leap through the air as I try to catch as many as I can! After a good time playing with bubbles or having fun in the yard I love to snuggle. Despite my size I will curl up on your lap and lean into you for all the cuddles. I'm an excellent learner and catch on to new tricks quickly. So far, I've mastered 'sit' 'down' and 'crawl' and with consistent training I could learn even more! I get really excited to go on walks and I have a hard time containing my energy so I'm looking for a home who can help give me good outlets for that energy and consistent training to help me walk nicely on a leash. I need someone with an active lifestyle as I enjoy going on long hikes and spending time with the running team. A calm home environment with older children and adults would be best as I can become unsure with young children.

Guess what else? He's part of the Diamond in the Ruff program? That means we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other before we officially seal the deal!

Looking to welcome a sweet, playful, and all-around wonderful dog into your family? Then look no further!

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • Mental enrichment activities are a great way to entertain me and work my brain.
  • I really enjoy the company of my human friends.
  • I can't wait to show my new family how playful I am!
  • I'm very active and will need positive outlets for my energy.
  • Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
  • High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
  • I have chronic skin issues which will require long term management. It can be caused by different factors such as fleas, food or environmental factors.
  • I have been diagnosed with giardia which is a contagious intestinal parasite. I will need to be quarantined during my treatment period.

Meet Scotty, a distinguished gentleman ready to spend his golden years with you! This sweet 11-year-old Rottweiler has a lot of life still left in him. He is incredibly treat motivated, which makes him a joy to have around and an enthusiastic partner for learning new things. Scotty is looking for a home that can appreciate his spirited personality and provide him with all the love and attention he deserves. Due to his age and a desire for a predictable routine, he would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home. He's past the puppy phase and is ready to show you the true meaning of a loyal companion. All he asks for is a warm bed, a few tasty treats, and a loving home to call his own. If you're ready to give a sweet, deserving senior a wonderful home, come meet Scotty today!

"DALLAS" *FAVORITE! *Universally POPULAR!* 7mth *Med-sz* WHIPPET/LAB mix PUP "STUMPTOWN STRAYS

   Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance.

"DALLAS plus VIDEO " is Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

neutered male 7 mths 37 lbs  Breed: Whippet & Labrador Retriever Mix

adoption fee $350    Ok with  Kids yes, Dogs yes, Cats- yes  Housetrained 

adoption application 

Personality: Affectionate, Athletic, Brave, Curious, Friendly, Funny, Loves, Playful

 Dallas, our 37 pound 7 month old puppy, is being coy about his breed mixture. He has the sweet goofiness of a lab and the leggy/willowy appearance of a whippet. He'll likely be less than 50 pounds fully grown, which in our opinion, is a perfect size. So, we guessed. And who cares? What ever Dallas's breed mix is, the result is adorable.

Dallas was stray when he was hit by a car. Having sustained a fracture to his pelvis and femur, Dallas needed a safe place to heal. We took one look at that face and happily took Dallas in so he could recover. It's been several weeks and he finally got the all clear - the fractures are healed and Dallas can go back to the business of being a dog.

Universally popular, Dallas is a fan of everyone and everyone likes him back. He is good with all sizes of dogs, is mostly respectful of his cat roommate (as always, a dog savvy cat and slow introductions are recommended), and likes kids. Dallas is crate and house trained. He needs some work on leash walking (he pulls a bit and wants to say 'hi' to all the dogs) because Dallas is a puppy. His adopter should recognize that Dallas likely needs a little work on lots of things. We've said this before, but please don't adopt a puppy unless you want to train it.

A fan of toys (and, ahem, shoes), Dallas is easily entertained. Although energetic and always ready to play, Dallas has also mastered snuggling. His happy place is in his person's lap. Dallas's ideal home should be somewhat active; Dallas is requesting having access to other dogs for play dates.

Dallas is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered and current on his flea and heartworm preventions.

Did you know that people call a lab/whippet mix a Whipador? We have to insist that whoever adopts Dallas does NOT call him that. Is that person you?

  MCAS needs to spay/neuter all dogs before adoption, especially the females and purebred dogs! They have had years to resolve this issue. Management is failing the animals and community.  

MEANWHILE - these poor shelter dogs need good homes. Please visit them.

 Introducing Pinkie and The Brain, a delightful duo of female husky mixes who are ready to steal your heart! This friendly and active pair came to us as strays, and while we don't know much about their past, it's clear they adore each other. They would love to find a home where they can stay together, but they can also be adopted separately to the right families. Pinkie and The Brain are full of playful energy and would thrive in an active household with plenty of room to run and explore. Whether they're playing fetch in the yard or going for a long hike, these two are always up for an adventure. They have sweet and social personalities, and might get along with other dogs. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion (or two!), Pinkie and The Brain might just be the perfect match for you
