"MALFOY" nice Pitbull boy - knows "sit" "down" "shake"

ADOPTED!
Aug 2018

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
here's my Mcas weblink

WELL HELLO THERE ITS SO NICE TO MEET YOU! My name is Malfoy! A young Pit Bull fella. Wow, it is SO nice to meet you. Did I mention that? Gosh, I just love you already! I am a big, goofy boy, that sometimes does not know my own strength. I get excited by things like seeing my people, getting ready to go on walks, and just life in general! I jump up and sometimes use my body without realizing I weigh so much. Don't worry though, I am a smart boy, and that is nothing positive reinforcement training cannot fix. I already know "sit", "shake", "down", and would love to enthusiastically learn more! My ideal home will be active, because I have LOTS of energy that I need to burn. Because of my strength and jumpy tendencies, I will need to go to a home with kids 15 an older. Do you think you have a home for me? Ask to meet me today!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S HOT TODAY!

I'm Arbe! A happy-go-lucky long-haired Dachshund fella searching for a new home. I am really happiest being where my people are and will give you endless kisses to prove it. I would love nothing more than the curl up on your lap or trot along with you on walks. If you are seeking a relaxed and easy-going friend to keep you company through your life, then I am the dog for you! Through thick and thin, I will be by your side. I would need to go home with my best buddy, Maxson and we would love a home where any children are 12 years and older.  4 yrs 15 lbs

I'm Maxson, an older mixed-breed fella searching for a new home. Don't be fooled by my age though, I will act like a puppy when I am playing with my friend Arbe! I'll prance all over trying to get him to play with me. I have some health issues - like an eye infection and a few masses, which a staff member can talk about with you more - that make me a little less thrilled about handling. I would need to go home with my best buddy, Maxson and we would love a home where any children are 12 years and older.  9 yrs 23 lbs

Hello! My name is Megatron, a 4 year old Australian Cattledog mix. I am a herding breed, and I am looking for a family that understands what that entails, or who has had a herding breed before! I am a sweet guy though, and love attention and pets. I know basic commands like sit and shake, and walk well on a leash!

I'm Wallace, a happy little Shih Tzu fella searching for a new home. I am really happiest being where my people are. Sometimes I can be a bit timid with handling - possibly partially due to my shaggy appearance! - but once I have warmed up to you, I'm a little love bug. I would love nothing more than to trot along with you on walks. If you are seeking a relaxed and easy-going friend to keep you company through your life, then I am the dog for you! Through thick and thin, I will be by your side. Because of my fears with handling I would need to have any children in the home be 12 years or older.  10 yrs 13 lbs

here's my  Mcas weblink

I'm Jumpin' Jehosaphat an active and playful Pitbull mix. You could call me the hands-on type but since I do not have hands I learn with my mouth. To an exuberant dog like me everything is a game, sometimes I just get so excited I will jump up and grab the first thing that looks like a toy. I am up for anything and ready to amaze my new family with my skills. I am looking for a family who does not take life too seriously that will be patient, positive and lift me to my potential of being a perfect pup! I am about 1 year old and weigh around 60lbs.

"JOEY" friendly personable guy Lab/Pit mx

ADOPTED!!!
Aug 2018

"Joey is such a sweet boy and as a lab mix I have no idea why he hasn't been adopted. Gets so excited to go on a walk and is good on a leash when a harness is used. He is just a happy go lucky guy and is waiting for his forever home"  Mcas volunteer

My name is Joey. I am about 4 years old and weigh about 75lbs. I have never met an activity I did not like! If you love exercise and keeping active, then we will be fast friends. I will go for a run in the morning, a hike in the afternoon, play fetch in the evening, and unwind with some play at home before bed - and I would love nothing more than to have someone who can keep up with me. It is important that I have an outlet for my boundless energy, so let us get together and explore the outdoors! I will need to be the only animal in the home. If there are kids in my new home, they should be at least 8 years old because I don't always want to share food and or toys.

"MAXWELL" happy adoption update!


Happy Adoption Update July 2018
"Maxwell and I are approaching 6 months together and I couldn't be happier. He is SUCH a good boy. He adapted so well and so quickly to his new home. It is a bit of a challenge to find toys for this aggressive chewer, but he loves to go shopping with me to find new ones. In addition to playing with toys, he loves treats (he may have gained a few pounds since he was adopted), going for long daily walks (which take even longer due to all the sniffing that must be done), and taking naps (on his choice of couches). I am thankful for the circumstances that brought us together and thankful for MCAS for taking good care of him until he could come to his forever home."  Anne Y.

I am Maxwell, a fun and energetic guy. 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! My new home will be required to have any kids over 12 years old. I can be dog selective, so I will need to have any potential canine friends in my home meet me at the shelter before going home. Please come meet me today!  64lbs, 4 yrs old 

 these photos don't give a good relative size - Max is 64 lbs -but quite short

"ORION" In FOSTER

ADOPTED!!!
July 2018

July 30 "Happy Adoption: Orion
This happy pup has been waiting for a while, and was finally adopted this evening. Congratulations to Orion and his new family! Thank you to the community of volunteers and supporters who made this happy moment possible."  MCAS Facebook post
and many thanks to Amber his foster mom! 

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
Orion is currently in a foster home

here's my Mcas weblink

Hey there, I'm Orion! I'm an active Pitbull mix who loves to be with my people! We are guessing I am about 3 years old and I weigh a muscly 63 pounds. Visitors sometimes ask about which dogs have been here the longest. I'm definitely on the short list of long timers here. I am currently taking a break in a foster home and readjusting to life outside of a shelter. I am working on my manners, confidence and having lots of playtime!
I can be nervous with strange men so will need a home that will offer me patience and support in new situations. I respond incredibly well to positive reinforcement and affection! I am terrier-smart, potty trained, angelic on a leash, have great recall and am very eager to please my people. I know "sit" "down" "stay" "leave it" & "come" and I'll do whatever you ask even without a treat.
I will bond very close to my family and would prefer if I don't have to be alone too much. I would prefer to go to a home with kids over the age of 8 please. And no kitties for me please.
I am still learning about other dogs and would prefer to be the only dog in my new home. I am showing a lot of potential that I might be able to have some other k9 friends in the future.
I am a very athletic dog and can walk/hike for miles if you'd like. I am strong and fast but don't let that fool you, I am an expert sleeper. I currently spend my days with my foster mom at work and don't mind napping for hours and hours and hours! Yawn..... Who'd wants napping buddy?
My fur is soft like a bunny and my whole body wiggles when I am happy to see you but I've got some food allergies. No big deal really, but my forever home will prioritize the right diet for me so my ears, feet and skin can be at their best. I am currently on a prescription, hypoallergenic diet and am doing great! My new family will need to slowly introduce new ingredients and learn what I am allergic to for maximum bunny softness and wiggly body.
Oh boy, I am SO EXCITED FOR MY FOREVER HOME!! Follow me on instagram @adoptorion or better yet, contact my foster parents at kittylovingfool@gmail.com to learn more about me and set up a time for us to meet!


"I have been walking, and loving on, Orion for months. He is a little aloof when he first meets you but trust issues are common in dogs that have been abandoned and abused. He is so loving and calm. I hope someone gives him the chance he deserves. I love this boy!"  Mcas volunteer

perhaps not too thrilled being a berryboy

Hello! My name is Precious, I am a 8 year old Chihuahua lady that is looking for a quiet home to call my own. It has taken me awhile to warm up to the people here in the shelter, but I promise once I've warmed up we will be best friends! I bond pretty hard with my people once I get to know you, and love to be held and to run! I get spurts of energy at times, and I LOVE going on walks. I do have some additional information about my medical history and behavior history that our adoption counselors would love to go over with you. I would love an adult only, quiet home where I can retire and live the life of luxury. Ask to meet me today!  8 yrs 8 lbs

Hello! Our names are Jaz and Max! We are an old retired couple looking for a nice home! We are both 10 years old, and have been together our whole lives.

Max is the more out going, spunky dude who is definitely more independent! Do you have a place for us in your lives? We'd love to come be apart of your family! Ask to meet us today!
