KRINGLE" friendly gentleman Poodle mix

The name is Kringle. And I am looking for a new home just in time for the holidays! I am a friendly older gentleman who still has a good pep in his step! I love to go on walks, and I know exactly what a leash is when I see it. I love to play with toys, especially the squeaky kind. And I have been friendly with all people that I have met. Aren't you ready to bring a bit of the holiday spirit in your new home?! I am years old and weigh 20 pounds.

 


 

"BLANCHE" gentle mature Border Collie - Westside at Washington Co Shelter

ADOPTED!
Dec 24, 2015
 
Available for adoption at Oregon Humane Society!
(Transferred from Bonnie L Hays)

animal #

Blanche is my name, and I’m looking forward to finding a lifelong home with people who love and respect me for who I am. Once I’m feeling safe and secure in my new home, I’ll love you like no other. Getting to that point might require some patience and understanding on your part, though. I need a home with older dog-savvy children, and one that will not push me when I am worried. I may never be a social butterfly; I’m more of an introvert, one who bonds with her family and is content.

"HUMPHREY" a smart and funny little Shar Pei boy

"TRANSFERRED" to Shar Pei Rescue!
Dec 23, 2015

Available for adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink 
animal # 573167

Hi there, my name is Humphrey. I'm a 5 year old neutered male Chinese Shar Pei. Did you know Shar-Peis were originally bred as palace guards in China? Who knew I was descended from royalty. I can be a dog that is loyal and loving to my family while being very protective and suspicious of strangers. In general, Shar-Pei do not like to be alone, preferring to be close to their humans, often lying nearby in the same room. Although Shar-Pei are sometimes stubborn, they are receptive to fair, compassionate training. With repetition and a clear reward system, training is not very difficult, however they do not respond well to punishment based training. The shelter recommends respectful kids at least 10 & up based upon his history and no cats in his new home.

Hi! My name is Harrison. I am a fun, lovable guy who is ready to take on the world with you!

"CALLIE" senior adult German Shepherd - please love me, spoil me

 
 A Happy Tails MCAS Adoption Update
 "Callie the German Shepherd"
Callie the German Shepherd is doing well! She's the new mascot of their bookstore down in Sheridan. She has a big cushy bed and an automatic water fountain that she loves and has really come out of her shell. She loves her new pug/beagle sister. They lay around together and play. They're already working fattening her up and goes for 2 long walks a day. He says her back seems better and she is  more strong in her back end and has way more tail wags!! Next week she's getting her teeth cleaned. She is doing GREAT and wanted you to know!

ADOPTED!!!
Nov 2015
Available for adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!
Callie is now in a MCAS Foster home

here's my weblink ( Nov 7 - pending adoption)

Calling all German Shepherd lovers! My name is Callie and I'm a super sensitive lady that is looking for an adult only home that I can call my own. Not much is known about my past but my shelter friends can tell you that I have been stressed here and would love to find that special someone quickly! Although I haven't been showing a ton of social interactions with humans, food has been a great way to get my attention and all I need is someone to see my potential. I have been playful with adult respectful dogs, and wouldn't mind a brother in my new home. A family that has Shepherd experience to show me that the world isn't such a scary place, and can provide me with a safe place to explore my personality is what I'm searching for! I am also getting to the point where I may need some extra vet care for my hips. Shepherds are prone to getting arthritis later in life, so please be prepared. I am about 10 years old and weigh 76 pounds. Callie is currently in foster care. Contact her foster mom at roxannenygard@gmail.com or 503-544-5684 for more information.

Available for adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!
Greta is currently in a MCAS Foster Home

here's my Mcas weblink 
animal # 569557

Hello, my name is Greta! I have been waiting patiently since July 3rd for a forever home, could it be with you? Don’t let my senior age fool you, I am quite the active gal. I enjoy daily walks and meeting new friends like the kids walking to school every morning, my tail just wags and wags when I see them! I’m also very content cuddling and watching Netflix and I’m the perfect size for cuddling on the couch with you. I am crate trained but also do great when left alone in the house by myself. I get along very well with my foster dog brothers. I have some health concerns that aren't uncommon in older gals like me: I have a limp and some lumps and bumps, the most concerning of which have been removed. I'd love the opportunity to spend the rest of my days in a happy, loving home. I am around 10 years old and weigh 50 pounds. I am currently in foster care. If you are interested in me, contact my foster mom at roxannenygard@gmail.com to find out more about me :)
 
thanks foster mom for my new jacket!

"SNOWFLAKE" one of a kind (Cattle Dog?)pitmix

ADOPTED!
Dec 18, 2015

Available for adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink  (adoption pending 12/18)
animal # 573753

The name is Snowflake! Why you ask? Well, because I am so unique of course! I am a hugely athletic and high octane girl who will need a very active home to keep up with me and make sure I am getting all the exercise I need. I have control of some of my commands, but could really use some more reward-based training to work on manners and impulse control. I love to meet new people, but can be very excitable and physical with meeting everyone, so it is recommended that I go to a home with kids 10 and older. Have another dog in the home? I have a very rough play style but enjoy the company of dogs my size if they can handle that! Small dogs and cats should not be in my new home, though. Hope to see you soon so we can go, go, go! I am 1 year old and weigh 52 pounds

"REMI" lovable (English) Llewellin Setter

ADOPTED!
Dec 16, 2015

Available for adoption at Oregon Humane Society!

here is her OHS weblink
animal # 175582

I’m actually a very unique English Setter, a Llewellin Setter. I was bred to hunt Pheasants and was quite good at it, if I do say so myself. And don’t for one second be fooled by my age! I’m quite lively and energetic outside, but need a large fenced yard because I don’t get along with other dogs. I’m looking for a canine-free environment in which to play and run. While I am not fond of other dogs, I absolutely adore people! I really am a sucker for attention. Spend a little time with me and you’ll see that I’m a very affectionate girl who loves to cuddle up with you and get lots of belly rubs. If you decide to take me home, one of my friends from the shelter will provide you with a medical and training consult so you can learn more about how to give me the best possible care.

OHS volunteer video shows the playful side of Remi!



 

"ZULA" sensitive - white and freckled Pitbull mix

Dec 15, 2015

Available for Adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!
Now in a MCAS Foster home!

here's my MCAS weblink 
animal # 573159

Hi, I'm Zula. I am sweet, sassy, and super smart and I have epilepsy. Please speak to your adoption counselor about how to keep me safe and monitor my health. The shelter sees my potential and I have a loving nature and some basic obedience. What I need some help with is learning to accept people doing simple things like putting on a harness or wiping off my feet. But with some patience and a reward based approach to helping me understand what you want, I will be your loyal friend. The shelter recommends a home with kids over the age of 10 years because I would be too much for smaller kids. Also I'm a little too interested in cats, so no cats in my new home. A respectful dog may be ok, but I prefer to have all the attention myself. I am just over 4 years of age. Ask about ME today! I am currently in foster care. If you would like to meet me, please contact the coordinator at alix.womack@multco.us

"BRANDON" enthusiastic young Pitmix

ADOPTED!
Dec 13, 2015
 
Available for Adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!

here is my weblink
animal # 572272

Hello, my name is Brandon! I am a young boy who is looking for an experienced FOSTER or ADOPTER without any small animals or children under the age of 16. My shelter friends are asking for help because in this environment I get quickly over stimulated and would like to give me some time to decompress and see my personality away from here. They can tell you that I enjoy playing with a tennis ball, chewing on bully sticks, and am food motivated. I am high-energy happy boy who learns fast. I need an active owner who can stay one step ahead of me. If you are interested in being an advocate for me, please email some information about yourself to animal.care@multco.us and we can set up a meeting! I am around 2 years old and weigh 65 pounds.

"GINGER" active sweetie

ADOPTED!
Dec 12, 2015

Available for adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink (pending adoption 12/12)
animal # 573253
.
Hey everybody! My name is Ginger and I'm searching for a new home! I am a complete sweetie pie that enjoys an active lifestyle. Wanna be my jogging partner? I can be a tad over zealous with my affections and will jump up to give you kisses. Nothing that a little training can't help. My skills with other dogs are also in need of more careful evaluation so if there are any canine companions in your home it is required that we meet at the shelter 3-4 times before we consider us a good match. I am very treat motivated, and reward based classes would be a great way for us to build a bond and are also required. The shelter is recommending that children in the home be over the age of 8 years until I can get a handle on my obedience skills. If you are looking for a smart girl with a lot of potential, please come and meet me today! I am about 1 year old and weigh pounds

Hello, my name is Burg! I am a youngster who hasn't had much guidance so far.

"MALLORY" sweetie Golden Retriever mix

ADOPTED!
a happy "Foster Failure."
Dec 8, 2015
Available for Adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!
Mallory is in a MCAS Foster home

here is my weblink
animal # 573074

Mallory came into the MCAS kennel with extremely painful ears which MCAS preformed surgery on to repair.  Mallory went into a MCAS foster home to recover.  Well... sometimes an experienced Foster Home becomes a "foster failure" and adopts their foster dog :)
Mallory had a first adopter, but they cancelled and the 2nd party didn't follow through, and guess what?  Mallory got the best home of all - with her original Foster home who loves her  ( btw - a first time Foster Home isn't allowed to adopt their foster dog - unless otherwise agreed upon- that's not the point of the program)
Mallory is a lucky dog - saved by MCAS from neglect, medically treated, placed into a foster home, and now adopted into her  loving new home.
