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

"RIGGS" Available for Adoption at "CLACKAMAS CO DOG Services"
Shelter ID: 106235 neutered male, 2 yrs 65 lbs
Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier
adoption fee $200 ?
Description:
Meet Riggs!
Riggs is a handsome 2-year-old Pit Bull Terrier weighing around 65
pounds. He's a sweet, easygoing guy with a calm demeanor who enjoys
taking life at a comfortable pace—until it's time to play!
Riggs arrived with severe flea allergy dermatitis, and because of
that, he has learned to truly appreciate a good butt scratch—it's one of
his favorite things ?? With appropriate flea prevention and continued
skin care, he is feeling much more comfortable. His future family should
be aware that Riggs may have sensitive skin and may benefit from
ongoing preventive care to keep him feeling his best.
Overall, Riggs is a laid-back and friendly dog, but he does have a
playful side and can get excited when he's having fun. When he's
especially happy, he may get a bit bouncy, so we recommend a home with
children 13 years and older who can help keep interactions safe and
positive.
Riggs would benefit from basic obedience classes to help polish his
manners and provide a positive outlet for his enthusiasm. He is a great
candidate for positive-reinforcement training and would enjoy bonding
with his adopter through continued learning.
If you're looking for a loving, affectionate companion who enjoys
both relaxed downtime and playful moments, Riggs may be the perfect
match for you.
1) Riggs will do best in a home with large-breed experience that can
provide consistent positive-reinforcement training and regular exercise
through daily walks.
2) We do not know how Riggs would behave with cats or small animals.
Please discuss proper introductions with your adoption counselor if you
have small pets in the home.
3) Riggs will do best with children 13 and up, due to his size and enthusiasm.
4) Riggs may do well with dogs similar in size. If you have another
dog in your home, we will be happy to set up a meet-and-greet.
