CLACKAMAS County DOG SERVICES
Adopt INFO
'Look through our adoptable dogs to find the perfect match for you and
your family. We assign each dog a breed and do our best to describe the
dog's personality. Please read each dog's profile closely before
applying or coming in. Meets with dogs are set up only when an approved
application is on file and the adopter meets the basic suitability
requirements for a particular dog. We actively seek rescue placement for
our dogs who have medical needs, training needs, or for dogs who just
haven't found their forever home through us. Dogs who are noted to be
"Committed to Rescue" are not currently viewable for adoption, and they
may have a home already through their rescue placement. You are welcome
to fill out an online application for us to pre-approve and keep on
file. Then, when your dream dog comes in, the adoption process will be
much quicker"
"Our
dogs all go home with their spay/neuter completed, microchipped, rabies
vaccinated, DHPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, are heart worm tested,
one month flea/tick preventative applied, and with a 1 year license
included. They also will have their teeth checked and any needed dental
work done prior to going home, too!" CCDS FB

"PIPER" Available for Adoption at "CLACKAMAS CO DOG Services"
Shelter ID: 106116 Breed: Miniature Pinscher/Mix spayed female 2 yrs 62 lb
Description: Piper is a young lady at around 2 years of
age, but she prefers to stop and smell the roses. Don't get her wrong,
she enjoys playing and excitement too, but is a lower-key lady than the
average 2 year old usually. At about 62lbs, Piper could use a little
help losing a few pounds. She isn't REALLY overweight, but a couple
pounds of weighloss will really help her to remain healthy and happy.
She is a bit of a foodie, and enjoys the finder things in life -
primarily, a diet free of poultry to help keep her skin and hair coat
healthy. With a good lamb or fish based diet and flea preventative, her
skin will continue to heal and she can remain itch-free! Piper loves
people, and would love a family that will show her love and help her to
learn. Piper would make a great addition to a home that has experience
with larger dogs and is ready to show this lady the easy life!
1) Piper may do best in a home that has experience with larger dogs.
She is a bit sensitive about having her ears handled and treated, and
would do best in a home that is prepared to continue to work on her
positive associations with medical treatment of her ears.
2) Piper has been dog selective here at the shelter, and has let
staff know that she would prefer to live wtih male dogs if she is
sharing her living space with another canine companion.
3
) We don't know how Piper will be with cats or other small animals,
so please be sure to discuss proper introductions toward any resident
small animals and cats with your adoption counselor. The folks who found
Piper state that she did well with their chickens and cats, but care
should still be taken when introducing Piper to any resident small
animals.
4) Due to her sensitive skin and handling sensitivities, Piper would
do best in a home with children who are least 13 years of age or older,
or in an adult-only home.
