"BARON" *GREAT DANE mix "BONNIE HAYS SHELTER- WASHINGTON COUNTY" HILLSBORO, OR

 "BARON"  is AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT BONNIE  HAYS SHELTER- WASHINGTON COUNTY,  HILLSBORO, OR

My name is BARON.

I am a neutered male, black Great Dane.

The shelter thinks I am about 6 years old.  I came from this area: ALOHA 9700.  I have been at the shelter since Sep 22, 2026. 

BONNIE HAYS FB  post 10/13/26
 BARON - ID#A505230 
 
Great Dane mix neutered male  6 yrs 94 lbs
 
 
"Can you help us find a home for a sweet Great Dane? Baron is a six-year-old, neutered male, who weighs around 94 pounds. He loves being with people and playing fetch with toys, walks nicely on leash, and enjoys leaning into his human friends for pets and booty scratches!
 
While we don’t know if Baron lived with other animals or children before arriving at Bonnie Hays, he’s done well with dogs at our shelter – although he can be vocal around his canine friends! (Maybe you have a yapper in your friend group, too?!)
 
Interested in meeting Baron? Call our shelter team at 503-846-7039 to learn more and schedule a meet-and-greet. We ask that you to make an appointment to meet Baron as it helps us ensure animal care staff is available to assist you when you come in"

"JACKSON" *rolly-polly* low-key WEIMARANER "OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE"

 

"JACKSON"   is Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE

MEET: GRACIE plus videos

Oregon weimaraner FB 

 current  Location: Black Diamond, WA   adoption fee $100

 Weimaraner, neutered male 10 yrs 130 lbs (needs gentle weight loss)
 
 
 BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:

CHILDREN:  6 + due to size

CATS:  unknown

DOGS:  Yes 

 

Meet Jackson! 


Jackson is a big, goofy, lovable Weimaraner with an even bigger heart!
At 10 years old, this handsome boy enjoys the simple things in life: lounging on the couch, cozy dog beds, getting pets, and spending time with his people. He has a laid-back personality, loves attention, and has a special love for watermelon!


Jackson is housebroken, knows basic commands, and has low exercise requirements, though he needs to lose a lot of weight so getting him out on regular walks and throwing balls for him in his own fenced yard is going to be important in his new home!  

 

Through no fault of his own, Jackson is looking for a new home; his current owner is dealing with medical challenges and injuries that have made it increasingly difficult to provide the care he needs. This is a very difficult decision made out of love, with Jackson’s best interests at heart.


When Jackson was about three years of age, he joined his current family and the kids were just four years old. Since then, he’s been around friends' toddlers and does well with all ages. He could however, easily topple a little one without even realizing it.  

​Jackson is also really good with dogs. He’s a little uncomfortable around small dogs having lived with a Chihuahua in his first home who bossed him around. But when he’s at the dog park Jackson is happy to socialize with the big dogs. We would love for him to have a dog friend!  But cats are an unknown; Jackson enjoys chasing squirrels so probably not a good match. 

​​Jackson loves chasing balls but does not bring them back :), he also likes clearing the counter of food that is left out - haha!  Otherwise he does not have any bad habits and is able to roam the house alone without getting into mischief (he is not crate trained). He enjoys car rides and would be all about keeping you company while you run errands. 

Jackson is neutered and microchipped. We are working on getting him  into the vet for vaccine updates and a baseline blood panel prior to adoption, but if the right home comes along sooner, we will help with the initial vet bills to get this taken care of.  The poor guy is alone Monday - Thursday so we are excited about moving him to a forever home where he will have little alone time,  a fenced back yard and outings. He still has a lot of get up and go and would love to join you!  

​If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, easy companion with a goofy side, Jackson might be your guy!  Please fill out an adoption application.

"KONA" **NEEDED!!** *CHOC LAB/GSP*Permanent FOSTER home NEEDED!!!* "OLD DOG HAVEN RESCUE" WEST WA, Portland, OR

 

OLD DOG HAVEN 

ODH Facebook 

 
PERMANENT Old Dog Haven FOSTER HOME NEEDED:
(foster homes must be located in W. Washington state or Portland, OR only)
 
 

"Kona" is a 58 pound Chocolate Lab mix- perhaps a German shorthaired
pointer?? Because she was a "stray", her true age is unknown, but she is most definitely a senior dog who has just been spayed.


What a pretty girl and what a sweetheart - you can see that her eyes are usually focused on a human. She is energetic, strong, just figuring out how to deal with
other big dogs she sees out on walks, wonderful in the house. It took
her a while to relax in her temporary foster home. No doubt she didn't understand what had happened and whether these people would also abandon her - but as that worry receded, she settled in.

Kona arrived with skin issues (from fleas?) which have mostly resolved now.
She is recovered from her spay surgery and ready to become part of a
home that will keep working on her leash skills so that she can keep
enjoying regular exercise as she increases her confidence.

It is unknown how she will do with other dogs in the house because her shelter foster has no other dogs. However, we have no reason to think it would be a problem. Whether or not she can live with cats is also unknown.

Kona is definitely a lover, a devoted companion who will respond to the effort you make for her. If you are interested, please let us know.

Old Dog Haven would like to bring Kona into our care. To do so, we need to find a home to send her to. Old Dog Haven pays ALL medical bills for life. You will not be adopting Kona, you will be offering her a home to stay in for the rest of her life under our rescue. If you are interested, you can apply to forever foster Kona.
Here is where you can learn more about joining our network of forever fosters.

"BEX" YORKIE MIX **NEEDED!!**PERMANENT FOSTER Home "OLD DOG HAVEN' WEST WA and Portland, OR

OLD DOG HAVEN 

ODH Facebook 

"We have been asked by our dog team to share Bex again. We'd love to get him into a home where we can begin care."

PERMANENT Old Dog Haven FOSTER HOME NEEDED:
(foster homes must be located in W. Washington state or Portland, OR only)

 "
Another senior shelter dog needs an Old Dog Haven home. We are looking for a home to send him to for the rest of his days. Our fosters keep the dogs forever; this is why we call them "forever fosters" .Once we find his home, we will cover all of his veterinary care for life (thanks to donations). 
Please note: we thoroughly vet dogs before putting them through surgery, and we are quite experienced with dogs who have the list of issues Bex has. So no fear: we won't put him through anything until we know it is safe to do so! ALL veterinary care is covered for life (thanks to donations).  
 
"Bex" is a yorkie or yorkie mix, not-yet-neutered male, who weighs 9 pounds.
This little guy finds himself in a shelter with a terrible mouth that really needs a skilled dental. He has very few teeth left but several oronasal fistulas which ideally would be repaired (not an easy thing in a dog this size). He has a cough likelydue to tracheal collapse issues and a stiff gait in the back end, but bloodwork shows his organs working well - just lots of stress and dental infection. 
 
Shelter staff say he's good with other dogs and sweet to handle (well, except for vaccines when he first came in, poor guy). We would so like to get him out of the shelter and into an Old Dog Haven home where we can get help for his mouth. Please let us know right away if you might be interested.
 
To read more about joining our network of homes, please read through the link below. Our applications manager is ready for your email 😁and Bex is ready to leave the shelter!"

"SID" *LONGTermer* UNIQUE* silly, fun energized but chill SHEPHERD MIX"

 Are you ready to take me home? I am part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here ! I can't wait to meet you.

"SID"   AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at Oregon Humane Society  in SALEM


SID #339709  Looks like: shepherd, Mix neutered male 2 yrs 11 mths 67 lbs available 8/21/26  /26  $50


Hi there friends! My name is Sid, and I am the silliest, sweetest guy you will ever meet. If you're looking for an adventure buddy in your life, I could be just the guy for you!

I am a sweet, funny, high energy boy. I love to go on hikes and walks, maybe we can even try running together? I am very adaptive and while I love to go out and about, I am also fond of a good snooze. Laying with my favorite people on the couch sounds like a great evening to me!

Mental enrichments are also a great way to exercise my brain. I have been described as super smart and eager to learn! I pick up on things very quickly. I looove treats and do my best work with them! A fun way to get my brain working is hiding my treats! I carefully pick apart puzzle toys/ boxes to get to the treats. I also know many cues such as sit, down, shake and stay!

I do well in a crate when my family is not home. I cuddle up with my blankets and toys and take a nice snooze until you come back! I even like to take naps on my own and will sometimes put myself to bed. I like to keep my space nice and tidy and have been described as a pleasant house guest!

I have positive history with kids in my previous home. I love to romp around with them. I am very careful not to bump into them and be gentle while playing. I would love to meet any little friends I may be around frequently!

I can get excited when seeing other dogs; I will benefit from structure and space from them. Cats are also very exciting to me, and I have a habit of chasing after them. In order to set me up for the best success I will need to be the only pet in the home.

Are you ready to take me home? I am part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here ! I can't wait to meet you.

"HALLOWEEN DUTCH' little SCRUFFy TERRIER "OHS - Portland"

 I'm in a quieter area. Please ask to meet me! ~ DUTCH

 "DUTCH"  AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at Oregon Humane Society  in PORTLAND

"DUTCH"  #346902    neutered male 4 yrs 13 lbs

  available  10/12/26    $150

Looks like: Terrier

 

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I have been working with the Behavior and Training team here at OHS for consistency and am looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. You'll need to meet with me multiple times before taking me home.
  • To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
  • Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
  • Give me a little time to adjust and I will show you I am the biggest sweetheart.
  • If you have a vacant lap, I would be glad to keep it warm!
  • I have been diagnosed with dental disease which means I may need dental cleanings or extractions in the future.
  • I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I may do best in a home where there is another dog to help boost my confidence.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • Loud noises and unpredictable movements can make me uncomfortable, I would do best in a home with calm, older children.
