"FRAGGYL" scrub-a-lub ding dong

ADOPTED!



This little boodle is "Fraggyl" (pronounced Fraggell).  Life wasn't always comfortable for this sweet soul.  Fraggyl came into the shelter as a stray, severely and painfully matted.



Well, now that he is all cleaned up, he is a different dog.  Always down for a stroll, loves to be by your side and 100% house-broken - a perfect little guy at just 7 pounds.  





He crates wonderfully too!  Fraggyl does fine with other dogs, he would prefer to live as an only pet, or with a very calm canine companion.



Fraggyl is looking for a forever, loving, and calm household, no small children perhaps, with a family of his own to love.

His new people will need keep up with his grrrrrooming so he won't ever have to endure the pain he has put behind him.

Fraggyl is 10 years young.  View his online profile here:

"CHLOE" the brave face of a long rescue in the making





Chloe is a gal that's very near and dear to our hearts.  She came into Multnomah County Shelter because her previous owner had to move to a place that didn't allow dogs.  Chloe sat at the shelter for months - and then - My Way Home Dog Rescue took her on.






While she was at the shelter, Chloe was our go-to gal to use for dog-dog temperment tests and doggy playgroups.  Chloe is shelter trainer Cindy's absolute favorite dog that she's seen come through MCAS.  This dog is as about as perfect as they come.  












If you are looking to help a pit bull type dog, but feel you lack dog experience, this girl is for you because she is easy!!!

"COLIN" smaller than small

ADOPTED!



Well, Colin is not well-represented in this picture because in reality he is a tiny little thing.  His head is the size of a raquetball - very small - only 7 pounds.

Colin is the quintessential lap dog.  That's where he would like to be:  in a warm lap, in a quiet home, with gentle, patient people.

He's so tiny he could almost be a little bug.  Meet Colin today at Multnomah County Animal Shelter.

"AMELIA" ready to conquer the world!

ADOPTED!



Amilia is a sweet outgoing soul with a zest for life and living.  Outdoors is where she would like to go!  Here!  There!  Everywhere!  



She loves to stay busy with things to do so if her new parents (when she finds them) can set Amilia up for success through training classes, and leaving her with things to work all day she will thrive!  

Amelia will make a wonderful indoor companion!  Housetrained, walks fantastic on leash, and loving beyond belief.  She would prefer a home without cats.

A good jog in the morning, plenty of food puzzles, meals filled in kongs and a good strong beef bone to much on, is just what she needs!

"HONKY TONK" a country biscuit

ADOPTED!



"Honky Tonk" isn't your run-of-the-mill girlie dog name, but this lil' sweetheart isn't your run-of-the-mill girl dog!  She's a little bit timid at first, but once she get's to know you, she's a good ol' gal!




We hope this girl won't sit at the shelter long, she is 9 years old, and she is looking for a home with all the attention.  She's lived with other dogs, but being the cuddle bug that she is, she would really love to spend her remaining years with just you!

"POLKA" a portuguese river monster?

ADOPTED!




Anyone know Polka's breed?  Yup, we neither!  So MCAS is officially calling her "American Shelter Dog."
Polka is incredibly sweet, gentle and loyal.  She's young and still getting to know the world, so enrichment and gentle guidance is all she needs.





She loves meeting new, understanding people who will let her take her time to get comfortable in your presence.  But it doesn't take long for this gal to show  her trust in you, and incredible loyalty.
