My name is Zeeke. I am a 2 year-old Pom/Chi mix and weigh 11 pounds. My friends here at the shelter have been very patient and soft with me as I continue to come out of my shell. I am a really shy guy at the moment, but with the right person I love to cuddle. I am even good with same-sized dogs! Due to a flea allergy, my skin and hair will new some extra love and attention until I get better. A quiet home and a lovely, warm bed is what I need, so I hope you consider me!

"MOUSE" short wide with a BIG SMILE!

My name is Mouse! Funny, I know but big guys can be cute too! I love to meet new people and will lean into them for more attention. I know sit, shake, and down. My favorite thing in the world is to chase a ball, but don't expect me to bring it back often. I prefer to lay down and chew! Due to the way that I am built, sometimes I can have a hard time breathing, especially if I am eating. So my new family should always walk me on a harness, and provide me with an elevated food bowl for my meals. Hope to see you soon! I will need to be the only animal in my new home, as you can see there is a lot of love here to give, so don't let that deter you! I am 4 years old and weigh 85 pounds.

My name is Addis! I'm a sweet pit bull mix who enjoys playing ball and cuddling up to my favorite people. I have lived with children and other dogs in the past so I'd love to meet your family! I would do best if my new home was patient with me at first as this has been stressful and I might need a little extra time to unwind and show my wonderful personality in your home. I have shown leash reactivity in my previous home as well as separation anxiety so some training will help us bond and help me become the best dog I can be! I'm about 2 years old and weigh 63 lbs.

Hi there! My name is Bear and I'm looking for a new home! Unfortunately my previous owners could no longer care for me and I have found myself here looking for a new family. I am a very social boy that knows how to sit, shake, and down. Isn't that great? I will need special attention on my haircoat, as it can get easily matted and I will need to have the regular grooming that my breed requires. Come on down and meet your new best friend today! I am about 6 years old and weigh 49 pounds.

 

 

Bear is looking for his owner to come get him (I think so anyway)

This sweetie will be very loyal once he bonds in his new home.

 

"TANK" big Boston Terrier

ADOPTED!

Jan 2017
to a nice quiet adult home

Update:
 "Tank has a new name, Trace, given to him by his new daddy. He is learning it very quickly. He has a bite history and it said he doesn't like strangers or new dogs approaching him, he will lunge towards them. Yesterday he met his neighbor and her MinPin for a walk and it went very well. He started to lunge and was given the sit command and did so immediately. They did the normal meet and greet and then walked a half mile together. This will be his daily walking partner. He also met the couples daughter and that went well. She came back again a few hours later and she was giving her love and kisses within 10 seconds. Being in a calm household with no children, he has shown none of the described bad traits and is thriving and full of love for his new family."

Hi there! My name is Tank and I'm looking for a special home. I am a super boy once I feel comfortable and love to play, play, play! I enjoy just about any toy! Although my previous family loved me very much, I had some quirks that were just not fitting into their lifestyle. I can get scared and uncomfortable in new environments and around new people and will need someone who can teach me that I don't need to be defensive. I am a very loving boy that is protective of his loved ones and need a quiet home that doesn't have a lot of traffic. Apartment life is certainly not for me. I enjoy playing with other dogs, but at this time I prefer kids to be over the age of 14 years. I am housetrained and very active. My new home should be prepared to give me plenty of deserved exercise. If you have had experience with a fearful dog and would like to help me through these trying times, please come and meet me today! It may take a couple of meetings for me to feel comfortable. I am about 4 years old and weigh 28 pounds.

Hi there! My name is Mary Jane, I'm a Dachshund lady looking to find a new home. I love nothing more than to be near to my favorite people whether I'm snoozing or giving lots of kisses! I was very bonded with my previous owner and if you have room in your heart for me, I think we can be the best companions ever. I lived with 2 cats before so I wouldn't mind some new feline friends if you've got them. I can be nervous in new situations so it might take a little time for me to warm up and climb into your lap but once I've opened up to you, I never look back! Come say hi to me and let's begin our journey together! I'm about 8 years old and weigh 12 lbs.

"GENERAL" UPDATE News Jan 20

General was "TRANSFERRED" to a Placement partner

in early Jan 2017

 here's an Mcas Update Jan 20, 2017

MCAS Shelter dog, General, finds Foster Care

            at Columbia River Correctional Institution       

             

General with inmate handlers

Update per MCAS Weekly Newsletter: "General receives care, companionship, and professional training around the clock while fostered by inmates at Columbia River Correctional Institution (CRCI).

Animals at Multnomah County Animal Services (MCAS) in need of behavioral training, stress-relief, and human companionship while waiting for a new home are regularly sent to volunteer foster homes. However, General received a particularly special foster opportunity.  This lucky dog from the kennels of MCAS is being fostered by four inmate handlers at Columbia River Correctional Institution (CRCI) minimum security prison, where he has constant companionship and behavior training in a communal-living setting.  It's another way that MCAS is enriching the lives of animals in its care by partnering with partners in the community.
General is one of six MCAS dogs who have benefited from the foster/training partnership with CRCI thus far.  Dogs in the program are recommended by MCAS animal care staff, and selected by Jana Patterson, CPDT-KA, Owner and Trainer for Happy Dogz Dog Training. Jana partners with CRCI to teach positive-reinforcement based training techniques to the inmate handlers to create the best possible opportunity for each dog to be successfully adopted.  Jana and the handlers provide training based on the needs of each dog, in coordination with Multnomah County Animal Services.  In General’s case, the team is focusing on stress reduction and basic default behaviors that will provide the foundation for success in his future home.
Dogs are generally kept in the training program for six to eight weeks before being adopted from CRCI’s facility when their training is finished.  General is estimated to be available for adoption by mid- to late-February.
Thank you to Columbia River Correctional Institution, and Jana Patterson, CPDT-KA, for your partnership with Multnomah County Animal Services to build a positive foundation for dogs like General to find new forever homes!"

Hudson here! I'm a Boxer fella on the search for a new place to call my own. My shelter friends tell me that I'm quite the handsome guy and I love nothing more than getting love and praise! In fact, I'll just lean right against you while you love on me. Now sometimes I forget myself and jump up on people but some obedience classes can help me remember my manners better and help us bond together over treats! Because I'm a strong guy and I jump up and can be a little nervous in new situations, I would do best in a home without very small children (around 9 years old and up). Come say hi and fall in love with my handsome face! I'm about 2 years old and weigh 75 lbs.

Hey there, the shelter named me BB King because at 116 lbs. I am the king of big boys.

I really need to be seen to be appreciated. I am four years old. The shelter is recommending sturdy kids at least 10 years old and sturdy adults in my new home because I love to lean into my people and after all, I am the King of Big Boys!

My name is Zoomie, aptly named for my famous moves. Sometimes it may look like I am a bit worried, but if you take your time with me, just watch me go! I catch the zoomies whenever I feel comfortable, and zip around the room with my new best friends. I can be wary of new people at first, but I recover quickly and do bond to my people. My ideal home would be quiet, have lots of walks, a wonderful lap to hang out on, adults only, no large dogs….and did I mention a lap to hang out on?! Can't wait to meet you! I am about 4 years old and weigh 11 lbs.

Archie here! I'm a goofy Beagle mix who would like nothing more than to leap into your arms and heart and home! If you like to laugh and play then we are going to get along swimmingly. I love to go for walks and play ball - and I'm okay just playing by myself while you laugh at my antics. It would be great if my new home signed us up for some obedience classes as I need to refresh my manners about jumping up on people and it would be a great way for us to bond. You may have heard that us Beagles absolutely LOVE to follow our noses. I am very scent-driven and will smell everything I can get a whiff of, so my walks might be very stop-and-go. Let's spend our lives having fun together! Come say hi to me today, I'm 2 years old and weigh 40 lbs.

Did I catch your eye? I don’t blame you if you had to stop and stare, I am quite cute if I do say so myself. I love the attention and I don’t mind if you want to shower me with all your love, actually I would prefer it! My name is Luther and all I want to do is find a place to call my own. If you have been searching for an outgoing, furry companion that you want to spoil then look no further. I adore meeting new people and like to go new places. I can’t wait to see what the world has to offer me and if you want to join me in all my adventures then I would be an even happier canine than ever before! Luther came to OHS from Bonnie Hays Animal Shelter through our Second Chance Program.

Jack Jack here! I'm your standard Jack Russell terrier mix and I'm looking for a new place to call home. I seem to have some hearing issues so I might not respond when you call to me but I'm still an active fella and I absolutely love going for walks! Because I'm an older fella, I would prefer to live in a quieter home where people won't be handling me excessively as I don't like people messing with me too much - and I am not a fan of being picked up. Because of those handling issues I would do best in a home with children 12 years and older. If you can respect my boundaries and are looking for a companion who will also respect yours, look no further! I am about 10 years old and weigh 15.8 lbs.

Because I'm a burly guy who can be mouthy and likes to play using my considerable strength, I would do best in a home with children 6 years old and up. I'm about 5 years old and weigh 68 lbs.
