"CHLOE" magical lab X



  
Chloe is an absolutely stunning 2 year old, lab mix with a knack for learning, and a love for all things!  This girl does great with other dogs, the more dogs she meets the more she loves to meet them!  She loves to play fetch, and she learns at an incredibly rapid pace.  Before too long she will be doing the kids' math homework and balancing the checkbook!




Chloe is quickly becoming a volunteer favorite!  Her ideal home is an active and loving family, with kids over 12 (you see, she's still a young pup, rather large - 65lbs- and quite exuberant).  




Consider Chloe as your next adoption.  She will return the love ten-fold!

"RENE" okie dokie artichokie!

ADOPTED!
When Rene first arrived at the shelter, she did not know what to do.  Very scared, she slowly but surely came out of her igloo, out into her kennel, to see what was up.  





She's doing much better now, but would love and appreciate a quiet home....without all the noise!  This wonderful 7lb, 5 year old loves to hang on laps, and snuggle.  Rene's ideal forever home will be a quiet one, with lots of love, and patience.  She's a little chocolate bon bon!

"KAHLUA" with a side of sweet




This angel face belongs to "Kahlua," a very sweet female pitbull who is looking for her forever home. She has been in foster care for the few weeks that she's been in the MCAS shelter system.  The world is a big place and she is learning how to be in it.  Kahlua has mastered house-training, and is even living with children.



You may be able to see from her pictures that she is short and stalky, so for all you staffy lovers out there, Kahlua is a pup not to be missed!





She's a beauty!  View her video below:

Bonnie's MAKEOVER MIRACLES




Every scruff-a-muffin that arrives at the shelter, severely neglected and painfully matted, will most likely find themselves in the healing hands of volunteer extraordinaire Bonnie, who just can't say no to a dog needing relief from a life of discomfort and filth.

Just take Fraggyl, above, for example.  In just one afternoon, his extreme make-over brought him from sad, to fabulous!  Can you believe this is the same dog?

AFTER




Stay tuned for more of Bonnie's Miracle Make-overs, as well as adoption information for Sir Fraggyl!



"BRADY" bunches of love

ADOPTED!



This dumpling is "Brady," a 6 month old American Shelter Dog that is only slightly behind the grade when it comes to training.  He is learning at a rapid pace at the shelter with Open Paw training, and he is looking for a loving home that will continue with positive reinforcement training classes!






Brady would flourish in a forever, loving home with structure, guidance and consistency.  Smaller children may be a little too chaotic for him, a family that is committed to give this fella a second chance is really what he needs.

"FRAGGYL" scrub-a-lub ding dong

ADOPTED!



This little boodle is "Fraggyl" (pronounced Fraggell).  Life wasn't always comfortable for this sweet soul.  Fraggyl came into the shelter as a stray, severely and painfully matted.



Well, now that he is all cleaned up, he is a different dog.  Always down for a stroll, loves to be by your side and 100% house-broken - a perfect little guy at just 7 pounds.  





He crates wonderfully too!  Fraggyl does fine with other dogs, he would prefer to live as an only pet, or with a very calm canine companion.



Fraggyl is looking for a forever, loving, and calm household, no small children perhaps, with a family of his own to love.

His new people will need keep up with his grrrrrooming so he won't ever have to endure the pain he has put behind him.

Fraggyl is 10 years young.  View his online profile here:

"CHLOE" the brave face of a long rescue in the making





Chloe is a gal that's very near and dear to our hearts.  She came into Multnomah County Shelter because her previous owner had to move to a place that didn't allow dogs.  Chloe sat at the shelter for months - and then - My Way Home Dog Rescue took her on.






While she was at the shelter, Chloe was our go-to gal to use for dog-dog temperment tests and doggy playgroups.  Chloe is shelter trainer Cindy's absolute favorite dog that she's seen come through MCAS.  This dog is as about as perfect as they come.  












If you are looking to help a pit bull type dog, but feel you lack dog experience, this girl is for you because she is easy!!!

"CINNAMON" a shelter favorite!

ADOPTED!!





Mature dogs make the best companions!  Cinnamon is no exception!  This gal is the new shelter favorite at MCAS, calm, sweet, we love her!

Cinnamon is quiet, less active than other pups, she's got training, so she's well beyond all that bad puppy behavior.  She is looking for a loving, forever home that will provide her with some gentle activity, followed by a big fluffy bed to nap on by your feet while you watch tv.




She is ready to retire to a quiet home without children or other dogs.  Come meet her today and find out why she is our absolute favorite!

Pound for pound, "Mojo" is packin in the brains department!  Well, we think he's pretty cute too!  Charisma, charm, brains, he's the whole package in search of the same in a loving, forever family.




Mojo's ideal forever home will keep his mindgrapes busy with lots of mental and physical exercise.  A home without cats and children over 10 would be best for this busy fella.
