"URSA" low and wide - nice Rottweiler

ADOPTED!
Dec 2016
 
Available for Adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!
 
animal # 582927
Mcas weblink  (adoption pending 12/1)

My name is Ursa. What a beautiful girl I am! I can be very sweet and affectionate with the people that I know. Sometimes it takes me a bit of time to get comfortable with new people, so any introductions should be done slowly and patiently. If you do that, I will be sure to warm up quickly! I love to play with toys, and will gladly lay down and chew on them for hours. The shelter is recommending I go to a home with kids 10 years old and up. I will be here at the shelter waiting to become your new sweetheart! I am 5 years old and weigh 78 pounds
 
 
 
people tell me I have a cute butt :)


 
 

"LIMO" Long and low terrier

ADOPTED!
Nov 2016

Available for Adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!
 
animal # 582970
Mcas weblink 

My name is Limo. Can't you see my "stretched out" little body?! I am very shy and would love a patient home to help me adjust to my new environment and not push me too far too fast. If given time and space, I really become loving and happy to be with my new friends. I have had a little trouble with hair and weight loss, but with regular flea treatment and a healthy diet, my hair will grow back full and beautiful in no time! I would love to take some classes to help boost my confidence and help me realize the world is not such a scary place. Are you my best friend waiting to take a ride with me? I am 3 years old and weigh 19 pounds.

"Hattie" a special shelter dog - remembrance

Nov 2016 - We were sorry to hear that Hattie - the original inspiration for the MCAS Photo blog - has now passed on....
Hattie was adored by many, and treated to a wonderful life by her adopted dad Patrick.
Rest in Peace Hattie.
=============
May all shelter dogs be so loved by their homes.

We would like to do a special photo blog posting in honor of a much loved and appreciated senior Pitbull named "Hattie."
Hattie, a former Animal Shelter dog, has reached the hearts of so many people in her life, and is the inspiration behind this MCAS photo blog, which her adopted dad Patrick started in 2008.

 
In 2001, Hattie's life in a crowded animal shelter took a wonderful turn when she was adopted by her new dad Patrick.  After adopting Hattie, Patrick became an avid animal shelter advocate. As a professional pet photographer, in 2008 he created our "MCAS Photo Blog" as a legacy to "Hattie". We continue to carry on the MCAS Photo Blog for the love of the many local shelter dogs that we meet, knowing that good homes are out there for these great dogs.



Our hope is that Hattie will inspire you to appreciate the "potential" of all dogs, regardless of looks, breed, size, background, or even kennel presentation!  Hopefully, if you have the patience, love and resources needed for a new canine friend, you'll find a great Shelter Dog to fit your lifestyle and allow the incredible journey to begin!

 

Here are some photos (past and present) of Hattie with different people and going different places: a perfect canine friend adopted from a city shelter. She's been living a happy life and she spreads happiness where she goes. She often converts people who are scared of 'pit bulls' and even some people who are scared of dogs.

My name is Edmund. I am senior dog who is ready to relax in his new home. I have been around dogs my size and done well here at the shelter. I am a sweet little guy with my shelter friends, but I can be sensitive to some handling and have some physical limitations that may need extra veterinary care in the future. I would love a home with a nice warm bed, some tasty treats, and lots of love! The shelter recommends I go to a home with kids over 12 years old. I would love to meet you, so come down to the shelter to say hello. I am 10 years old and weigh 10 pounds.







"MYLES" youthful mature Lab mix

ADOPTED!
Nov 2016
Available for Adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!
 
animal # 582896
Mcas weblink

They call me Myles and I’m hopeful we can trek a few of those together! I’d make a dynamite hike companion or jogging buddy and walk nicely on my harness. I’m a very youthful 9 years of age and still full of puppy play. I love, love, love water and am enjoying learning about toys too. I wouldn't mind sharing my home with another nice dog or being your one and only is fine by me as long as we stay active. I’ve had a good start on my training and seem to know the basics plus a trick or two. I’m looking for an owner who will continue to teach me important things like playing gentle with my mouth and not jumping up to say hi. I’m learning and improving daily and look forward to rounding out to be your perfect companion. This boy is a cool combo of fun loving athleticism but with a couple walks a day he’s also a laid back well behaved house dog. The shelter recommends a family of adults or those with children 16+.
 
 

 



"PLAYBOY" quite "Labby" gentle strong Lab mix

ADOPTED!
Nov 2016

Available for Adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!
 
animal # 582898
Mcas weblink (adoption pending 11/28)

Hi, my name is Playboy. I'm a 2 year old lab mix and I weigh a sturdy 80lbs. The shelter named me Playboy because I'm a dog on a mission which is to have lots of fun. I love squeaky toys, balls and running around. In case you hadn't guessed I'm an active boy looking for an active home. The shelter says there should be no cats in my new home and is recommending sturdy kids 8 & up because it would be easy for them to be bowled over during play.

Hello, my name is Kalamazoo! I am a 2 year old neutered male rabbit. I am friendly and social and can't wait to meet my forever family!

I am a lovely guy with the softest fur, so come on down and meet me today!

Nellie here! I'm a sweet little mixed breed dog and I'm looking for my new home. I'm super friendly and love to play with toys to get some exercise.

"SCOUT" really nice German Shepherd

ADOPTED!

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

here's my Mcas weblink 
animal id #582539


I'm Scouting for a new owner so that's what the shelter named me. I'm a gorgeous black and tan neutered male German Shepherd. The shelter folks figure I'm about 3 years old and I'm a big and beautiful 86 lbs. It will take me a while to realize that I'm in my forever home but we shepherds are known for our loyalty and love of our people. If you are looking for an active, fun dog for an active fun home...well here I am! I might be too much for small kids so the shelter is recommending that if there are kids in my new home that they are a sturdy 8 & up.

Hi my name is Beau!
I am shy and will do good if you give me time to warm up. I really like treats and that is the fastest way for me to warm up to you. New things scare me a little but if you go slow and help me through them I will follow you and be your best friend. Treats always help, I really like cheese. I would do best in an adult-only home. I'm 1 year old and weigh 49lbs

Corky here! As you can see from my cute little tail, I am spring-loaded to run on out of here and into your home! I have been around other dogs here at the shelter and shown social behaviors. I am always interested in meeting new people. Making new friends is fun to me!

Can't wait to meet you. I am 1 year old and weigh 17 pounds.
