"CLARA" adorable quirky lovable pocket pittie/chi mix

ADOPTED!
Apr 2020
Will miss you so much sweetie!!

Clara is around one year old, 32 lbs and a ‘pocket’ pittie mix.
Hi my name is Clara and I am just barely a year old. I found myself pretty afraid in a shelter. My foster mom taught me lots of things after I got into her home. I am house trained (not a fan of rain), I ride in a crate in the car but I don’t need one if the house. I watch delivery people and don’t even bark!
My foster mom says I am a sound sleeper and I love to burrow under the blanket on the dog bed. I am very affectionate with my foster mom and love to watch a good movie. I am looking forward to getting my own family or person so I can bond forever. I went to some dog classes with my foster mom too!
I am still afraid of many things. I do not like to jump in the car (I get picked up to go in my crate, I also can sometimes get car sick). Kids and their loudness, and sometimes strangers on walks make me nervous.
Here is what my perfect home would look like. I love quiet homes. I want a person who likes to stay home and when you go somewhere I can wait for you at home. I am quiet at home so if you work from home I will not contribute to your meetings. Do you like to garden? I love to watch! I love a stick or toy or exploring and sniffing. I can be super playful. I am great when your friends come to visit.
I do like walks and I may even be a good running buddy but I am not a dog park girl and I am not a big fan of meeting dogs on my walks, especially big ones. I am a fan of quiet and calmness.
If you are interested in meeting this me, please send a completed application (found on our website Our Adoption Policy – My Way Home Dog Rescue to the rescue and my foster mom will give you details about me and answer any questions.
http://mywayhomedogrescue.org/wp/our-adoption-policy/
I am up to date on all of vaccinations, spayed, flea/tick treatment, heartworm tested and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $350.

Hi Pippi here! A fun and energetic girl that loves booty rubs, my toys, and walks! I also love to give kisses! It would definitely be beneficial to me to get into some training classes to become a more refined pup, because I do pull on leash a little and jump up when I am excited. If you are an active home that is searching for a buddy, search no further! The shelter is recommending I go home with kids 5 and up due to how jumpy I am, but it is not required! I do need to be the only dog in the home.

"EMMA" black Lab HAPPY ADOPTION UPDATE!

EMMA Happy Adoption Update!   Mar 2020

" I was just going through Emma's file and came across your business card. Emma is doing amazing. She is still full of energy, but that's what we love about her. She is also one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. She and Lily, are truly sisters and adore one another. We recently got another corgi. She and Emma have had some boundary issues, but mostly get along. I am so happy that I found her at the shelter. She needed love, patience, room to run and puppy friends."  Melanie S

Hi new potential family! My name is Emma, a 8 month old Black Lab. I am an energetic lady looking for an energetic family that can keep up with me! Do you like to hike? Great! I would make an excellent hiking partner. Do you like to run? Even better! I would make an excellent running buddy! I also REALLY like to fetch, and will fetch anything from squeaky toys to tennis balls. Did I mention I have a lot of energy!? My ideal family will continue my positive rewards based training, and understand that I will NOT be a couch potato. Sure, I'd love to Netflix and chill once I am tired, but I am also a young pup, and will get into mischief when I get bored. You know what they say, a tired dog is a happy dog! I am a bit jumpy, so any smaller children under the age of 5 should come meet me before going home with me to make sure they can handle my energy level, and any canine pals should come in to meet me as well!  8 mths, 50 lbs and growing.

I am Bailey, a nice little gentleman. I like playing tug, but don't be alarmed if I get talky and play growl, it's just my way of telling you I'm having a good time. I also like playing fetch and will drop the toy by you, push it towards you with my nose and bark to let you know I'm ready for you to throw it again. I'm so irresistible, that I will keep you busy playing and make you laugh with my antics. I will need regular grooming and ear care to be my very best.

I am Hank, an active and playful Labrador. 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 and positive. The shelter is recommending that any kids in the home be over the age of 8 years due to my mouthy behaviors. I am also a big conversationalist and may not be best for apartment life. Please come and meet me today!

"LEXI" playful affectionate German Shepherd

"TRANSFERRED" to mcas placement partner

Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
Adoption information  
MCAS hours/ Location

Lexi, female German Shep mix, 7 yrs 65 lbs
mcas weblink  Transferred 
202401
I am Lexi, an active and playful German Shepherd. Once I get to know you, I like pets and if you're not giving me enough, I will nuzzle your hands for more and sometimes I just get so excited I will jump up. I know how to sit, shake, and down. My favorite thing is a tough squeaky toy or tennis ball. In fact, I like it so much that I might not want to share it with anyone. The shelter recommends teaching me to trade for a really good treat or better yet another toy. I am sensitive about having my collar touched so adopters should avoid grabbing my collar. If there are kids in my new home, the shelter is recommending that they be at least 8 years old due to some handling sensitivity and mild resource guarding.

My name is Snippet because as I can see I'm just a little bit of guy. I don't have any teeth so my adopter won't need to worry about brushing my teeth. don't think that doesn't mean I can't eat though. I am really happiest being where my people are. I would love nothing more than the curl up on your lap or trot along with you on short 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.

"CARLA" a cruisin hamster

MCAS hours/ Location

Carla, female hamster
 here's my Mcas weblink
205270
Carla is an adult female hamster who's quite set in her ways. She prefers to cruise around in her ball over being handled. Because she is not used to being held, children in Ms. Hamstortelli's home need to be over 12years old. When left to her own devices, Carla will keep herself entertained. We recommend a larger cage set up where you can watch her be cute yet sassy as you make friends with her. Adoption does not include current cage.

Chief Snuggle Officer at Multnomah County Animal Services
Snuggling is my middle name, I enjoy short walks on the beach (or from the couch to the fridge) and would make a great Netflix buddy. What's that you say? You've been meaning to watch the new Netflix release? Well I'm right there with you! I have some medical needs that an adoption counselor can discuss with you further. Swipe Right! I will need to be the only animal in the home and no small children please.

Princess is located in the kennel to your right as you enter the adoption area - a location that tends to get overlooked by shelter visitors, so make sure to ask to see her!
