"CEDAR" KELPIE mix "CLACKAMAS County DOG SERVICES "

The dogs at Clackamas Co shelter have a harder time getting adopted since recent budget cuts closed the shelter on Saturdays.

 The longer stays are tough on dogs!  Please consider taking some on a Tues thru Friday 1:00-4:00 to visit with one of the adoptable dogs!

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

 "CEDAR" Available for Adoption at "CLACKAMAS CO DOG Services"

 Shelter ID: 106268 Breed: Australian Kelpie/Mix  spayed female 5 yr

adoption fee $205 

Description: Hello, my name is Cedar. I am not sure exactly what all my genealogy background is, but I believe there is some Australian Kelpie and Australian Cattle Dog because I have a lot of herding characteristics. Please don't hold my initial behavior of being standoffish towards strangers against me. If you take me for a short walk and let me get to know you, I will likely melt your heart with all my personality. So come on down to the shelter to meet me. Take it nice and slow so we can get to know one another. I have made friends with all the shelter staff and they love me as much as I love them. I do like to play ball; it is my jam! I fetch like a pro. I retrieve the ball and then drop it at your feet. It is a great way for me to exercise in the back yard. I walk well on a leash which will be nice for long walks in the neighborhood. I can't wait to meet you, see you soon!

1) Cedar is a 5-year-old Australian Kelpie mix who will do best in a home with some dog experience. One that will give her plenty of positive reinforcement and exercise through walks, obedience classes, hikes and/or play sessions.

2) We do not know how Cedar would act towards cats or small animals. Due to the breed characteristics a family with no cats or small animals would be preferred. Please be sure to discuss this with your adoption counselor if you have small animals living in the house.

3) Cedar will do best with kids 13 and up due to her size and breed characteristics of having strong herding instincts.

4) Cedar may do great with dogs similar in size who are respectful of other dogs' space. If you have another dog in your home, we will need to set up a meet and greet.

5) Cedar likes to be active so a secured fenced yard would work best for her to get proper exercise.
