"TOM THUMB" fuzzy Chi mix

ADOPTED!
June 2018

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

Tom Thumb chi mix
Mcas weblink  (6/7 possible adopter)
152977 
I am Tom Thumb, a 4 year old 6 lb little Chihuahua lost in a land of giants. I'm looking for a quiet home that will give me some time and space to adjust. Once I get some confidence I'll be a constant companion. On the couch, on your lap, on your bed, out for a walk, off on errands I'm up for it. I like to talk, so an apartment wouldn't be the best fit for me. Because I don't like fast movement the shelter says if there are kids in my new home they should be at least 12 years old.  4 yrs 6 lbs

"XANDER" shepherd/lab mix?

ADOPTED!!
June 2018
Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

XANDER

#148008
I am Xander, a fun loving and energetic German Shepherd mix. Dogs like me love to get out and play but are not always sure what to do with our mouths. I can tend to get so excited I jump for the first thing I see, and the game is on! My ideal family will be active, patient and use positive training methods to help me become a more refined pup. I think working with a trainer would be a fun way for us to bond and learn together. I am eager to learn and can't wait to show you how smart I am! If you have kids in the home, they will need to be over the age of 12 years due to my jumpy/mouthy behaviors. Please come and meet me today!  3 yrs 78 lbs

ALANA

# 152168
Hi! My name is Alana, I am a 4 year old Border Collie mix that weighs 40 lbs. I am really happiest being where my people are, but would also love to go on long walks or play ball! I am a curious, smart dog and I love to learn new things about the world around me. I would love to have a job to do or learn some new tricks to give my mind something to work on. I do not shy away from novel situations and if you can keep me mentally and physically stimulated, I will be your loving friend forever. Do you have room in your life for a sweet gal like me? Ask to meet me today!
4 yrs 38 lbs 

Alana currently has some hair loss on her back.   It'll be rewarding to watch her blossom with good  basic care and regular flea treatment. Nice dog, still looking for her owner to come, but she enjoys meeting new people. I imagine Alana will be the loyal type once she bonds with you!

Hi! My name is Fish, a 4 year old Terrier that weighs 15lbs! I am a little fearful of new situations and people, but if you give me some time to warm up, I promise we will become the best of friends! Do you have a comfy couch, or a warm bed for me to snuggle up on? I would also love to go on long walks! I need to go to an adult only home because of my fearful behaviors! Ask to meet me today!

RAZZLE

I am Razzle the dog who is always prepared for a marathon - as long as it is a movie marathon. There is nothing I love more than a cozy, warm bed and some good company. We can discuss our favorite foods while you give me pets and attention. I promise to provide you with lots of laid-back love and friendship if you save me a spot on the couch - or at least on the floor next to you! I am a 12 year 5 mths old Beagle and I weigh about 36lbs. I want to be in an adult only home

I'm Buddy - a sweet and silly Pitbull fella looking for a new home. I make the best of every situation and I love to play! If you are looking for a fun, playful dog to add some joy to your life and help make you laugh, then look no further. I will bring endless fun and keep you entertained with my goofy antics. If you can keep up with me then I promise that we will have a life full of enjoyment with lots of great stories! I need to go to a home with no small animals and no children! Ask to meet me today!  6 yrs 81 lbs 



"FLINT" Cutie mystery mix ( Husky? shepherd? akita? Cattle dog?)

"TRANSFERRED" to SWWHS!
June 2018 

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!


"Flint is a very friendly and affectionate guy when my husband is inside his kennel. Unfortunately, most people don't get to see the real Flint when they meet with him. He really does love attention, but he also wants to break out of this joint ;) When we take Flint outside, he's just too busy planning his big escape to notice the people interested in him. Flint might do better meeting potential adopters in the indoor showroom. That way he is less distracted and his true personality can emerge. Please don't overlook this sweetheart... Once he's out of the stressful shelter environment, I think he'll warm right up to his new family"  Kelly Mcas volunteer

Flint here! I'm a handsome Akita mix guy looking for a new place to call my own. I'm smart and my favorite hobby is exploring! I am a curious, smart dog and I love to learn new things about the world around me. I would love to have a job to do or learn some new tricks to give my mind something to work on. Sometimes I can be shy about people touching my head, so I would need a home where any children are 12 or older and who can work with me slowly to help me overcome this. I am an escape artist, and I have shown to become attached to my people and have some separation anxiety when my people aren't home. It would be best for me to go to a home with a fenced in yard. Ask to meet me today! 4 yrs 56 lbs

Great mix whatever he is! Be fun to do a DNA test for Flint.
Flint asks his new adopter to please give him the needed time to settle into a new home, and give him a stable structure, so he has the chance to feel secure. I don't know how he is with other dogs (the shelter could tell you more) but if he likes them, he might benefit from the company of another dog in his new home.


"ALPINE" nice young female Husky

"TRANSFERRED" to SWWHS!

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

ALPINE

# 150579

'm Alpine, a gorgeous Husky lady looking for a new place to call my own. I'm a sweet girl though, like other Huskies, I can be a bit aloof and like to have my own space - I don't always enjoy extra handling or cuddling. Because of this I would need any kids in my home to be 8 years or older. I'm what you'd call an independent lady! I would need a home with no other dogs as I don't seem to enjoy being around them, we're not sure how I would be with cats or small animals. If you are looking for a active, independent dog to spend your time with, I'm the one for you! I'M IN ANOTHER AREA OF THE SHELTER - PLEASE AS A VOLUNTEER OR STAFF MEMBER TO SEE ME!

My name is Chalupa and I am the dog who is always prepared for a marathon - as long as it is a movie marathon. There is nothing I love more than a cozy, warm bed and some good company. We can discuss our favorite foods while you give me pets and attention. I promise to provide you with lots of laid-back love and friendship if you save me a spot on the couch. I have been very fearful here at the shelter and have not shown my true colors yet. I did meet another dog and that was my ticket to happiness. The shelter is requiring that I go to a home with another social dog that I can learn from and to also help with my fearful behaviors. I will be a fun little project. Please come and meet me today! I AM IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THE SHELTER - ASK A VOLUNTEER OR STAFF MEMBER HOW TO MEET ME :)  2 yrs 12 lbs

"MCAS" - Foster, Donate, Volunteer - YOU can Help the Shelter Animals!


Wed June 27 (? check back) 7-8 pm
Interested in learning about volunteering or fostering at the shelter? Attend one of our volunteer orientations! The next volunteer orientation will be Wed 7 - 8pm, June 27  (no orientation in Dec) (the 4th Wed of each month) There's no need to register - simply show up at the appointed time. You'll learn about all the different jobs available and what is required. In the meantime, you can visit our Volunteer web page for more info!!

Fostering is one of the many ways you can help the MCAS animals - Foster homes are so appreciated, and it is rewarding knowing that you are making a real difference in the life of a homeless pet. There are even opportunities/ a real need for Hospice Fosters. 
Please Check this link for more information if interested in becoming an Mcas Foster home!

If you can't Volunteer, please consider helping in other ways? Donating -
You can donate towards Medical Care of these shelter animals - to help provide added support for the more difficult medical cases. 
You can also donate towards a New Shelter facility as it is old 
and often noisy, and is by far the Underdog of our local Portland Shelter facilities. 

 Thank you for caring and helping the Portland MCAS local area shelter animals!!!
 
The MCAS shelter is the only open intake animal shelter in Multnomah County, and it does more than most other shelters in this country to save as many of the unclaimed stray animals that come into the shelter as they can.
Want to help your local county homeless animals? You can fulfill that need, AND make a real difference for our animals at Multnomah County Animal Services!

Hello, did you notice how handsome I am? My name is Anderson Pooper, I am a 4 month old German Shepherd. I make the best of every situation and I love to play!

If you can keep up with me then I promise that we will have a life full of enjoyment with lots of great stories!

I do already know some tricks like sit and shake, but am eager to learn more! I am still learning my manners and can be a bit jumpy and mouthy at times, so I need to go to a home with kids 5 and up that can handle my rough play style! Ask to meet me today! 4 mths, 42 lbs THERE WILL BE A SIGN UP SHEET FOR ME OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT OF THE SHELTER'S MAIN ENTRANCE ON 5/31/18. MY ADOPTION WILL BE ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS.
