"PIPER" *lower-key, fun* LAB/shepherd mix "CLACKAMAS COUNTY DOG SERVICES"

 UPDATE ADOPTED

"Piper is a ton of fun and has a great personality. She loves playing fetch and playing in the pool! She's also quick to come in for a snuggle. Terrific doggo! " CCR  Clackamas Co Dog Services FB 8/8/25

CLACKAMAS County DOG SERVICES 

Adopt INFO 

'Look through our adoptable dogs to find the perfect match for you and your family. We assign each dog a breed and do our best to describe the dog's personality. Please read each dog's profile closely before applying or coming in. Meets with dogs are set up only when an approved application is on file and the adopter meets the basic suitability requirements for a particular dog. We actively seek rescue placement for our dogs who have medical needs, training needs, or for dogs who just haven't found their forever home through us. Dogs who are noted to be "Committed to Rescue" are not currently viewable for adoption, and they may have a home already through their rescue placement. You are welcome to fill out an online application for us to pre-approve and keep on file. Then, when your dream dog comes in, the adoption process will be much quicker" 

 "Our dogs all go home with their spay/neuter completed, microchipped, rabies vaccinated, DHPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, are heart worm tested, one month flea/tick preventative applied, and with a 1 year license included. They also will have their teeth checked and any needed dental work done prior to going home, too!"  CCDS FB

 "PIPER" Available for Adoption at "CLACKAMAS CO DOG Services"

 Shelter ID: 106116  Breed: Miniature Pinscher/Mix spayed female 2 yrs 62 lb

Description: Piper is a young lady at around 2 years of age, but she prefers to stop and smell the roses. Don't get her wrong, she enjoys playing and excitement too, but is a lower-key lady than the average 2 year old usually. At about 62lbs, Piper could use a little help losing a few pounds. She isn't REALLY overweight, but a couple pounds of weighloss will really help her to remain healthy and happy. She is a bit of a foodie, and enjoys the finder things in life - primarily, a diet free of poultry to help keep her skin and hair coat healthy. With a good lamb or fish based diet and flea preventative, her skin will continue to heal and she can remain itch-free! Piper loves people, and would love a family that will show her love and help her to learn. Piper would make a great addition to a home that has experience with larger dogs and is ready to show this lady the easy life!

1) Piper may do best in a home that has experience with larger dogs. She is a bit sensitive about having her ears handled and treated, and would do best in a home that is prepared to continue to work on her positive associations with medical treatment of her ears.

2) Piper has been dog selective here at the shelter, and has let staff know that she would prefer to live wtih male dogs if she is sharing her living space with another canine companion.

3) We don't know how Piper will be with cats or other small animals, so please be sure to discuss proper introductions toward any resident small animals and cats with your adoption counselor. The folks who found Piper state that she did well with their chickens and cats, but care should still be taken when introducing Piper to any resident small animals.

4) Due to her sensitive skin and handling sensitivities, Piper would do best in a home with children who are least 13 years of age or older, or in an adult-only home.

 

"TINY IZZY" *LIKES STROLLING IN THE RAIN" Pom/PAPILLON "PROJECT POOCH"

 UPDATE 10/5/25 ADOPTED or on hold

"Project POOCH, quite simply, changes lives. We operate a kennel inside a youth correctional facility and pair currently incarcerated youth with shelter dogs. The youth learn kennel management, positive reinforcement, grooming, and training techniques. The youth learn what it means to be depended on by another living creature and what it means to be trusted and relied upon. And, they learn what unconditional love feels like—sometimes for the first time. Our dogs get trained, loved, and adopted into their forever homes. There is no limit to the amount of time a dog spends in our care, and we are focused on the individual needs of each dog."

"Little Miss Izzy does not want to get her precious little paws wet, so she was delighted that someone donated this dog stroller to us yesterday! It's perfectly Izzy sized so now she can enjoy the outside without getting wet. A big thank you to whoever dropped this off for us! It will go to good use." Project Pooch FB 10/2/25  


"ISABELLA" aka "IZZY" AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at "PROJECT POOCH"

ISABELLA spayed female Appx. 6 yrs,6 lbs Breed: Pomeranian/Papillon Mix (DNA Test confirmed!) 


Isabella is quite the princess. In her little 6 lb frame she has packed a lot of personality. She holds her own with over exuberant young dogs, demands the attention she deserves, and rests on thrones fit for royalty.

She adores her subjects (all humans) and wants to greet everyone she sees on her walks. Izzy is excellent royalty like that. When you are sitting down, whether on the couch or the floor, she trots herself over to come lay down next to you. Sometimes she will even roll over for a little belly rub time. There is no doubt when Izzy wants affection as she will nudge you until you keep petting her.

Izzy is tolerant of other dogs, but isn't looking for a dog friend to play with. She will let bigger dogs know when they are in her space with a little bark, but is a believer in live and let live. Sometimes she allows another dog to snuggle her, but other times she would prefer to have her space.

Speaking of Snuggles, Izzy is a fan of the biggest beds to curl up on. Extra fluff, super sized, bolstered sides: all things that are fit for royalty such as her! 

If you’re looking for a quiet presence to add to your home, Izzy might be the dog for you. She brings a comforting calm to the kennel, with her adorable looks, big personality, and maturity
