"JACKIE" lovely, graceful, like Jackie O


ADOPTED!





I would like to introduce to you, the exquisite, always on time, loyal and beautiful "Jackie!"  She is a quiet type that loves to please with gorgeous eyes and beautiful coloring.  She is 2 years old, beyond the puppy stage, but still can be silly once she comes out of her shell!




She's a petite little thing, perfect for someone looking to rescue a pitbull not too big, not too small, but just right!







Jackie is looking for a loving, patient, forever home that will show her the world is not a scary place, and that the life of an indoor dog can be joyous!

"HAZEL" beauty beyond her years

ADOPTED!



"Hazel" has officially become our little darling.  Her inner beauty shines and from the smile on her face, you can tell she is happy in her prime years.  Hazel is about 11 years old, and has been at the shelter for almost two months.  Overlooked because of her age, this sweetheart deserves a warm bed, and a loving home.


Hazel is as sweet and loyal as they come. She'd love a family as devoted as her. Hazel is fully house trained, loves to lay next to her people, soaks up gentle pets and seems to do just fine with other respectful dogs & cats. 

Who couldn't love a face like this?  Please inquire about Hazel today at Multnomah County Shelter.

"LULU" picture perfect!



TRANSFERRED TO FAMILY DOGS NEW LIFE!


Well, this girl is a shelter favorite!  Lulu has lot's o spunk but is well past puppy stage.  At just 3 years old this gal has learned to be a proper lady.  Low maintenance and high class, Lulu would prefer to be queen couch potato of the house.




Lulu would do great in any active home possibly with a mellow and respectful canine companion, and without cats.  Give this young 3 year old pooch a forever home with a warm bed and she will return the love in spades!  





Consider LULU as you next adoption!

"ONEY" one pie face

ADOPTED!



Is this a face only a mother could love?  We don't think so, and once you meet "Oney," we think you will agree!  This sweet lil purebred Lhasa is just as perfect as they come:  crate-trained, good with cats and dogs, and as you can see from his photo, he just got a dental make-over!



Meet this 9 year old bundle of love at Multnomah County Animal Services today!

"DOTTIE" short and so so sweet

ADOPTED!



Lil Miss Dottie isn't high off the ground but she has lofty aspirations to becoming an ambassador to her breed (Pitbull X with a hint of Basset Hound)!



Dottie entered Multnomah County Animal Shelter as a stray with her mother Zelma.  She is mellow, does great with other dogs, and deserves a little bit of love after her first two years of a hard knock life.




Dottie is looking for a loving, forever home that loves a low-rider dog and will continue with her training.  She will make a great indoor companion for any family willing to give her the time and attention she so deserves.

"DUKE" goofy & regal


Introducing "Duke!"  He is a sweet, loyal, goofy dumpling that needs a foster home or forever home... like today.  His time is up and the community is pooling it's resources to help this dog that deserves the good life.




From Fences for Fido:


"Once in a while, a dog outside of Fences For Fido speaks to our hearts 


in ways that we simply can't adequately express in words. But in the 


simplest of words, we're simply pleading for someone to help Duke, who 


is down to his last couple of days. Duke is 4 years old, good indoors and 


LOVES people. Slow socialization with other dogs works best for Duke. If 


you or anyone you know can provide IMMEDIATE foster care for him—


TODAY"

"PIXIE" lil' darlin'

ADOPTED!



This little angel cake is "Pixie" an American Shelter Dog that is sweet, gentle, and in need of a make-over.  We imagine this girl will be as fluffy and white as new powder snow once she gets a good grooming.

Pixie would love a quiet, loving home, without children under 8, that will give her all the love she needs to come out of her shell.

"AUBRY" all puppy all the time

ADOPTED!



This 'lil miss sunshine' is Aubrey, she's still learning about life and does best with dogs who teach her how to play appropriately.  You see she is so very enthusiastic, so lots of exercise and socialization is exactly what this young pup needs.

"GRANT" what's up doc?

ADOPTED!
1/3/12



Well hello, meet Grant! He's a graceful and peppy Italian Greyhound mix with a terrific personality!  Grant loves to explore and has plenty of energy for play.  
 
Grant has an old injury to his front right leg that doesn’t bother him a bit.  Sometimes he can be shy but the quickest way to his heart is a treat and a smile.  Grant would do best in a somewhat quiet home with children 8 years or older.  He's only 15lbs, and as sleek as they come!

"PORTER" pint size piglet

ADOPTED!



"Porter" is a 6 month old chiX pup who is as cuddly as he looks!  He connects well with humans and loves working for treats!




Porter will make a great family addition to any loving forever home that will keep sweet Porter as an indoor companion.  





Meet Porter at Multnomah County Animal Shelter.  He's still a young puppy so training classes will be required.

"RUDY" young at heart

ADOPTED!



No, Rudy's not made of leopard skin!  But he is sexy for an older gentleman, no?  Rudy speaks french, italian, and the language of love, so all you shelter dog lovers:  watch out!  He will have you wrapped around his toenail the moment you meet him.




Despite his sweet age of 8 years old, Rudy is incredibly gregarious and would do best in an active home.  Rudy will gladly accompany you on boring errands and jogs in the park, because those outings are a blast in his minds eye!


Consider this special guy today.  His chances are slim because few people want an older dog these days, but if you love shelter dogs and want to be a part of an incredible rescue, this is your boy!

'LIL DUDE' puppy magic!

ADOPTED!



Well, if Lil Dude could talk, it would be the cutest, nasal voice, maybe with a lisp.  If someone doesn't go pick this fella up soon he will be coming to my house as he is a fantastic catch.




Lil Dude is just 4 months old and still learning about the big world he lives in.  He is looking for a loving human companion that will slowly introduce him to new things, and make every new experience a positive one with food rewards and praise.




This fella likes other dogs, and will need to meet new dogs every day to continue his socialization.  Are you his new committed human?

"GALE" a boy puppy

ADOPTED!
2/1/12




Yup, that's right!  Gale is the latest victim of the celebrity trend: 'name your kids euber-hip, asexual baby names!'  Gale would like everyone to know that he is a 4 month old, hound X boy pup! 




Gale is looking for a home that will take the time to give him a second chance at life.  He is responding well to the training he is receiving at the shelter, and he will further excel in a home that will commit to consistent, positive, reward-based training.



If you are interested in a puppy training project using positive reinforcement, clicker-training, nose work, agility, all these activities will result in a life-long bond between you and this sweet pup based on loyalty and trust.
