"FITZWILLIAM" in FOSTER energetic snuggly young Pitmix

 UPDATE 2/14/23 possible adopter or on hold

"FITZWILLIAM" is Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
MCAS hours/ Location


Adoption cost: $160.00
License fee: $27.00 (Multnomah County residents only)

Animal ID: 281465  In Foster Home
 male Pitmix, 10 mths, 48lbs

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/281465

My name is Fitzwilliam and I am looking for a new home! I am an energetic and loving guy! I love tummy scratches and snuggles. I would do best with someone who is home a lot, as I have some separation anxiety when left alone. I tend to get puppy excited if I do not get enough exercise or attention, my foster mom says I have a dramatic flair - so a hiking buddy or playmate would be a great idea. Since I am a shy-guy to start out, slow introductions to people and pets are best. My foster mom says with routine and training I will do great! I am not yet crate trained, but will lay in during the day when the door is open. If you think I am your dream boy - apply today. If you are interested in meeting this pup - please click on the link and apply today.

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/281930


Exuberant Dog I am Cashew an active and playful one year old husky mix. When I get excited it is hard for me to keep my feet on the ground. 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 would likely fit best in a home where I have access to a fenced yard and where children are eight and older.

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/281935

My name is Bohdi and I am a young American Shelter dog looking for a new home. I spent a few days with my last adopter and they said I am dog social and play nicely in a dog park setting! I have never met an activity I did not like! If you love exercise and keeping active, then we will be fast friends. I could 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!

"YMIR" aka "LOKI" is Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
MCAS hours/ Location

Animal ID: 281100 , male Husky mix 3 yrs 6 mths,  73 lbs

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/281100

 Ymir (aka Loki) is a 3 1/2 year old neutered male husky looking for a new home. He is dog social and cat friendly. "Loki" has a combination playing style.

"Loki" knows basic commands such as sit and lay, and is gentle when taking treats. Ymir (aka Loki) can be possessive when it comes to food so he might do best in a home without children age 7 years and under. Come to the shelter and meet him today!


 

TURN up the VOLUME - "THE Singing HUSKIES!! "BINGLEY...ICE... MISTY...LOKI...GEORGIANA...CHAKRA...CHINOOK...TOASTY...SHADOW"

 "Huskies" Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
MCAS hours/ Location

 

presenting, MCAS Singing Huskies! 

(accompanied by the little birds)


These local shelter Huskies  need good committed adopters who will give attention and exercise.  Huskies are NOT all "escape artists" or need way more than normal daily exercise!  They differ in their needs, just like other breeds do. But they are a committment!
They are beautiful, fun dogs!

Seriously, people need to stop breeding Huskies. There huge numbers of homeless Huskies/Alaskan Huskies in the USA shelters, and nice dogs are being killed DAILY in animal shelters due to overcrowding.

The local area shelters are fortunately not having to euthanize Huskies for overcrowding

 =========================================================================

 So many nice homeless Huskies in the Multnomah County Animal Shelter! 

SHADOW 

UPDATE Feb 8 possible adopter or on hold

Date found: Sunday, January 29, 2023
Location found: Sandy Blvd / NE Lombard St, Portland

Gentle and affectionate male senior - 9 yrs, 68 lbs

Shadow is a "tripod" (missing a back leg) and would appreciate a home with few stairs and a home where he can lose some weight - will make it easier for him to get around

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/281608 

Hi! I am the sweetest boy with a smiley face. I may only have three legs, but I get around just fine with some effort. I would like a comfy home with people who will take me on short walks and feed me tasty treats. I am gentle, affectionate, and really appreciate treats and pets. Thank you for coming to see me, maybe I can be your next buddy?

BINGLEY 
UPDATE Feb11, 2023 possible adopter or on hold
 
Date found: Wednesday, January 25, 2023
Location found: Se Callister Rd/SE 262nd Ave, Gresham
 
3 yr old red-white gorgeous male, 
came in with GEORGIANA #281445
I am Bingley a fun loving and energetic husky. 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!

GEORGIANA 

 UPDATE Feb 11, 2023 possible adopter or on hold

Date found: Wednesday, January 25, 2023
Location found: Se Callister Rd/SE 262nd Ave, Gresham

 1 yr 6mths female, loves treats, would love a committed home to show her life is good, 

Georgiana came in with BINGLEY, #281444

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/281445 

Georgianna is a sweet, somewhat independent dog who wants to explore the outdoors. The perfect adopter home will include a well-fenced yard and frequent trips to the outdoors. She is anxious with new places, sounds and people- but given patience and treats- she will soon approach you for treats and chin scratches. She is not the kind of dog who is overtly affectionate or who wants lots of hugs. She is treat motivated, which will help with her training. She's not really interested in toys or fetch (at least not initially). She does some of the typical husky vocalizations, but doesn't seem especially noisy.



 ========================

ICE - in foster home, 3 yrs 4 mths, 

MIX, super nice guy, very social and pretty easy going, loves being petted, playing fetch

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/272681

Meet the coolest sidekick in town with a permanent tuxedo, and that's why they call me Ice. (I'll forgive you if you sing "Ice, Ice, baby" to me every day. I don't know why people do that but I'm used to it.) I'd love a home with active people who want to interact with me a lot because I have a lot of energy, a lot of love to give and an active mind! I love long walks (use a harness with a loop on my chest and I won't pull), treat puzzles, toys (OMIGOD who invented balls?? Genius!), riding in cars and watching wildlife out the window. If you hide my toys I will still know where they are because I like to investigate everything with my nose and I'm pretty smart. You can't tell from a photo but I'm also really soft and love to be petted. Since I chase small animals I might also chase cats, and I am dog selective at the very least, so dog parks are probably not in my future but I hope YOU are. 

=======================

"MISTY" 

 UPDATE Feb 10, 2023 possible adopter or on hold

  too many adopters have already let Misty down.

Please commit to this beautiful active young dog

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/278447 

Misty is tall, gorgeous, and fun-loving! She's looking for a family that can keep up with her enthusiasm. After her daily dose of playtime and zoomies, Misty's affectionate side comes out. She loves a good cuddle and rub-down! Misty would likely thrive with a playmate. She really enjoys interacting with other dogs through her kennel. Having a friend could be a great outlet for her energy! 



 =======================

YMIR aka LOKI 

UPDATE Feb 8, 2023 possible adopter or on hold

He plays gently but depending on who is playing with him, he can play somewhat rough. He "matches the energy" of who he is playing with. He also loves "kisses." "Loki" knows basic commands such as sit and lay, and is gentle when taking treats.

CHAKRA 

 UPDATE Feb 11, 2023 possible adopter or on hold

Date found: Friday, January 27, 2023
Location found: 700 Blk Mt Hood Highway

2 yrs, pretty, Petite female only 37 lbs

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/281532 

I am about two years old, spayed and ready for a new home! I am energetic and smart as can be! 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 can be sensitive about how I am touched and handled, after all I am a husky. Come to the shelter and meet me today! 


 ==============================

CHINOOK 

Update 2/7 possible adopter or on hold

Date found: Friday, January 27, 2023
Location found: Sandy Blvd / NE 95th, Portland

3 yrs old male, active, husky-speak , adorable guy

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/281540 

I'm Chinook, a three year old Siberian Husky looking for a new home. Not much is known about my past because I came here as a stray. 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. 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. I'm an independent husky who wants to roam and I don't really want to hold still for pets, scratches, or hugs. I'm also fairly vocal, with the typical Husky vocalizations. I love to jump on surfaces like benches, which should be fun when hiking but I would probably expect to live on your bed or couch!

 ==================

TOASTY, 1 yr old female, very soft fur, great hiking buddy

initially jumpy/ mouthy in excitement, affectionate

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/281562 

Toasty is a sweet, good natured and somewhat independent dog who wants to roam. She loves exploring the woods and would make a great hiking companion. She is okay with affection, but is not really an affectionate dog (at least in the shelter), so would be a good fit with someone who doesn't need or want a dog who is clingy or likes a lot of close contact. She should also be in a home with a fenced yard, given her propensity to explore.






"BRUCE" awwhh 13 yrs 8 mths old, Friendly guy

Animal ID: 281653 , male mix, 13 yrs 8 mths, 45 lbs

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/281653

I am a 13 year old American Shelter dog looking forward to a quiet retirement with a new family. 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 - or at least on the floor next to you!

"FREYA" Update - LOOKING GOOD, FREYA! Foster home - German Shepherd - lived with dogs cats


UPDATE Feb 12, 2013 ADOPTED

"FREYA" is Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
MCAS hours/ Location


Adoption cost: $160.00
License fee: $27.00 (Multnomah County residents only)

Animal ID: 277371 In Foster Home

 female, German Shepherd, 4 yrs 2mth, 58 lbs

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/277371

 "Freya is a lover, with such a big personality and lots of energy and curiosity. She is extremely active, and could walk for miles and miles or play catch and run/roll around in the grass forever. She is unbothered by the rain, and is a true Oregon girl. She would thrive in a home that has a yard, or with some humans who love to be outside and do outdoorsy activities. She loves to smell everything on walks, and is super curious about everyone and everything. She is very protective, and can be reactive toward other dogs and people. She can also be mouthy, and uses her mouth to try and get what she wants. She is incredibly smart, loves to work on brain puzzles, and is very food motivated. She loves to hang out in the kitchen and be a sous chef, and she will happily cuddle with you on the couch or in bed. She is crate trained, and will let you know when she has to go outside to do her business. She is the best co-pilot on all adventures from going in the car to the grocery store, to long walks and runs in the neighborhood and the park.

===================================

earlier.... when she first came into the shelter, Freya needed some TLC for her skin and ears,and she is looking much better now!

"KAI" NEW PICS -FOSTER HOME Brindle Pitbull Loves people, good with older kids

 UPDATE Feb 9, 2023 ADOPTED

Update Jan 23 - Kai has new description in foster home

 UPDATE Jan 10, 2023 KAI now in foster home!

 Please give me time to decompress in my new home! It might take awhile (or not?) and I'll be a wonderful companion

"KAI" is Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
MCAS hours/ Location

Animal ID: 273823 2yrs 9 mths 55 lbs

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/273823

My foster parents say that nobody is a stranger to me and am great with older kids! If you would like to know more about me, please email foster@multco.us.

Hi, I'm Kai! I'm a very handsome boy. I've been at the shelter for a while, and I have adjusted really well, but now I am ready to adjust to my forever home. I LOVE food. I would love to eat snacks with you and watch the neighbor dogs walk by. I love to explore outside, sniff around, and chase the occasional ball. I am so excited for the next adventure that I will sometimes be jumpy and mouthy when I am overexcited, but if you have a treat in your hand, I'm easily redirected. I really want to be a well behaved boy I just need some positive reinforcement training so I know what to do! I may look like a big dog, but I have a small and endearing squeaky bark that always brings a smile to the face of anyone who meets me because it's so unexpected. I know sit and down, and I try to hold it until a volunteer comes to take me out on a potty walk. Hopefully my new person will be excited to bond with me through more training, which should be easy since I'm pretty smart and I love treats so much. I have started my crate training and want you to know that I'm doing great in a crate! I haven't met other dogs yet [note- Kai is selective about his dog friends] but I don't react to them through my kennel, so I might be dog friendly as long as I have a structured introduction. I am strong and can jump, so I would be best suited for a home without young children. If you want to eat snacks, adventure with me from coast to coast and take afternoon naps in the sun, take me home with you! I have been in foster care now for a week and am doing so good! My foster parents say that nobody is a stranger to me and am great with older kids! If you would like to know more about me, please email foster@multco.us.
