 Meet Diane! 🐾 She is a charming young soul who arrived at our doors as a bit of a enigma. Found wandering and brought in by some kind strangers, her past is a total mystery-but her future looks incredibly bright! Diane is a master of the "treat-for-trust" trade; while she starts her adventures with a little bit of shy uncertainty, her nerves melt away the moment she realizes she's in good company. She quickly reveals herself to be a social butterfly with a major weakness for snacks, proving to be an absolute superstar during her check-ups by trading polite cooperation for tasty morsels. She's a gentle soul who navigates the world with a "will work for cookies" attitude, making her a dream for anyone looking for a food-motivated companion who listens as well as she eats! πŸ§€

PUMPKIN PIE #381486 listed as American pit bull , Spayed female, 4 yrs 6 mths 48 lbs
 

Meet Pumpkin Pie, a 4 to 5 year-old Pit Bull sweetheart who is just as soft and tender as her name suggests! πŸ₯§πŸΎ This beautiful girl is a sensitive soul who finds the world a little bit "spicy" right now, as she is currently feeling quite fearful and overwhelmed. πŸ‚πŸ€« Pumpkin Pie is looking for a patient, quiet home where she can take life one slow paw-step at a time and learn that she is safe and loved. 🏠✨ While she might hide her face or tremble at first, there is a heart of gold waiting to shine through once she feels secure in a calm environment. πŸ’–πŸŒŸ She would love a family that speaks in soft tones and has plenty of treats to help her build her bravery! 🦴🌈 If you have a peaceful home and a lot of love to give, Pumpkin Pie is ready to settle in and eventually become the sweetest slice of your life. 🐢πŸ₯§πŸ§‘ Update from foster home: Pumpkin Pie is extremely affectionate. She loves belly rubs and will always stick by her human's side. When indoors, she is low energy and enjoys chew toys and rope toys. She does pull when walking on the leash but is a quick learner and follows direction well. She's otherwise fully housetrained and has not had a single accident since being in my home! She also does well with cats and kids!

  • I have lived with other dogs in my last home. A dozen that were all my direct descendants.
  • I will follow you around for attention - spending time with my people is the best part of the day!
  • I am a mellow fellow. A marshmallow if you will.
  • In my last home, I did great in the crate!
  • I love to run! I have been on the running team while at OHS and would make a great running, hiking, or PNW adventure buddy!

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.

MR MATZAH BALL #377942 listed as american pitbull terrier, Neutered male, 4 yrs 4mth 85 lbs
 
*no cats*
*ok kids 12 + 
 
 *foster home
 
Meet Mr. Matzah Ball, a true "extra-large" sweetheart who is much more than meets the eye-and the camera! While his photos are adorable, they don't quite capture his impressive stature; in person, this big guy sports a head the size of a basketball and a solid, muscular build that tends to turn heads wherever he goes. But don't let the bulk fool you-underneath that sturdy exterior is a genuinely affectionate boy who is happiest when he's invited onto the couch or bed for a serious snuggle session. In his foster home, Mr. Matzah is the definition of a "gentle giant" with a predictable, easygoing routine.

 
 He's a well-balanced companion who enjoys two walks a day and a good jog or some off-leash playtime, but he's just as happy to settle in and relax afterward. He's also a fantastic passenger for car rides and a total show-off when it comes to his toys, proudly carrying them around the house like prized trophies to share with his favorite humans. 
 
 

  Mr. Matzah is also a bit of a scholar, boasting an impressive list of commands including "sit," "stay," "shake," "twirl," and even "crawl." He is fully house-trained and walks well on a slip leash, though his foster family continues to work on his enthusiasm.
 
 Because he is social and friendly, he tends to offer "hugs" to newcomers; while endearing, his sheer strength means he needs a home with physically capable adults and no children under 12. He has been a perfect gentleman with workmen visiting the home, earning rave reviews for his temperament and manners. πŸΆπŸ’›

"JETHRO" **senior **RIDGEBACK mix "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON"

  UPDATE 4/5/26 ADOPTED or on hold 

JETHRO"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 


JETHRO  Ridgeback, Rhodesian / Mixed Breed (Large)  neutered male, 
10 yrs 110 lbs,   $200  *housetrained *needs a fenced yard *not good with dogs
 
Hi there, I’m Jethro, a large mixed breed dog with a big heart. I’m 9 years old, but don’t let that fool you—I still love my walks, exploring the neighborhood, and soaking up attention. I’m polite, well-mannered, and happiest when I’m spending time with my people.

I’m house trained, leash trained, and a pro traveler. Car rides used to be a big part of my life, and I ride quietly like a gentleman. I’ll admit I can get a bit worked up when I see other dogs and may bark or pull on the leash, but once I’m back with my person, I settle right in. Around humans, I’m calm, affectionate, and always ready for a treat.

I spent my whole life alongside my best buddy, Drake. We grew up together, and losing him over the rainbow bridge has been very hard for me. I’m also grieving the loss of my human mom, who passed away earlier this year. I miss them both deeply, but I still have so much love left to give and am ready to form a new bond with someone special.

What I’m looking for now is a safe, cozy home with a patient, loving person who understands that I’m adjusting to big changes. In return, you’ll get a loyal, gentle companion who will gladly walk by your side and be there for you every day.

If you’ve been looking for a big-hearted, devoted gentleman to share your life with, I just might be your guy.
