CLEO

Meet Cleo,

A sweetheart to her core, that is looking for her forever home.

My partner and I rescued Cleo at just 7 weeks old.

A bit too early to wean, but the people who had her and her litter mates said their mom stopped feeding them & were just giving the pups away in a parking lot down, in Sweet Home, Oregon - so we decided to make sure she went to a good home & brought her back to Portland with us to raise & take care of.

This was during the fires that happened a few years back & we could tell she was relieved to just have a place to rest in our car, where she felt safe.

We would love nothing more than to keep Cleo with us, but unfortunately due to a change in housing that isn't very stable for her, we have decided to make the very difficult decision to try and find her somewhere that she can be loved and feel safe once again.

Cleo loves to play fetch, go for walks, play with other dogs, cuddle like nobodies business & is certified as an Emotional Support Animal(E.S.A).

She loves other dogs & cats, although she tends to be a little uneasy at first around large dogs, she warms up to them quickly.

Cleo weighs 55lbs, is always bathed regularly, up to date on all of her shots & checkups, she is currently unaltered, but has never had a litter & has only not been spayed yet because we wanted to wait for her to fully grow up before we put her through any kind of surgery.

Cleo is loved so much & truly deserves the best in life.

If you would like to know anything else about Cleo at all, please feel free to reach out to us at (503)765-4047

Thank you so much for taking the time to read a little about Cleo's journey so far.

Sincerely,

-Molly

INDY

Need to rehome my Dad's dog...

Here's the story, it's a bit of a read but this way you have the entire story.

I recently moved my Dad into Assisted Living and he brought his dog along. Her name is Indy and is a chihuahua that was adopted from the Oregon Humane Society. Prior to the move, Indy had glaucoma in eye followed by the other. Because of this, she is completely blind. The Assisted living facility asked to remove Indy from the community because of her barking and charging at residents who walked by my Dad when he was walking in the halls with her.

I now have Indy at my house and it's not a good fit for her. Her typical day was a couple of walks outside with my Dad while he smoked and holding down the dog bed or sitting with my Dad. Since she has been with me, she has lived with two other dogs and has had a structured environment in regards to correcting bad behaviors and socializing her. I think that was her biggest negative. The time she spent with my Dad was often just with him with very little to no interaction outside of myself and the caregiver.

I have attempted to contact at least 4 different animal/dog rescues with no luck. I want to do right by Indy, and find her a good place to live. Our house is much too busy for her and she often spends her time on the dog bed looking down.
She would come with a crate, leash, harness and dog food. I can be reached at jason.keezel@gmail.com or by phone at 503-347-6160. 

Danner

Meet Danner

Danner is a 3 year old, 65lb, male husky/malamute. He is fixed and up-to-date on shots. 

Danner is looking for a unicorn home. He would thrive with a single person (or possibly an established couple) that understands a dog who has issues with resource guarding and fear-based aggression. He enjoys a quiet, calm home where he can relax and cuddle near his human while also being able to join them on adventures such as hiking, snowshoeing/xcountry skiing, camping, beach trips, and being paddled around in a kayak. 

Danner is house and crate trained and knows basic commands such as sit, stay, down, wait, leave it, come, and high five. Sometimes his husky selective hearing shows up so he does well with regular practice with these commands. He pulls on a leash when trying to get to a smell or another creature, but has been showing progress through training on that. 

Danner would do best as an only dog/pet, however he has cohabitated with other dogs before - it just requires extra attention around feeding and toys. He also likes to play rough and is a big boy so he can be intimidating to other dogs/people. He has done fine with sharing a fence line with chickens and goats but has killed 2 chickens that decided to explore his side of the yard. Knowing his breed I have kept him away from cats and am assuming cats within his reach would have the same fate as the chickens. 

I am rehoming Danner because my home environment has changed and he has not adjusted well to it. He has shown aggression and bit my new partner and has been reactive towards my partner's dog. Due to that bite experience, I am being selective with his new owner and home. Danner has so much to offer and has been the best companion, but he's not happy with the addition to our pack. 

If interested, please contact me (Katie) at kclare428@gmail.com or 503-502-8744 (text only please)

ARYA

Big beagle or Scooby-Doo?! This is our sweet Arya who desperately needs a foster (or adopter, of course) to spend Thanksgiving and this holiday season out of boarding Arya is a beautiful 6-7 year young Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who is super affectionate, sweet, smart, and funny. She is 68lbs of pure love. She lives for pets, belly rubs, walks, and treats

She takes a little bit to warm up to a new person but once she feels comfortable, she will shower you with all the love and kisses. Arya will follow you around everywhere but doesn’t have separation anxiety. She’s house-trained and knows several good commands. She is an LA county kill shelter survivor rescued in Dec 2022. She was loved in a foster home for 10 months but now this poor girl is scared and devastated in boarding

Notes on Arya:

- Walks great on leash (loves going on walks)

- Easy to train. Picks up new tricks/toys quickly

- House trained. She can be left alone without being crated

- Loves to spend time with her human. No separation anxiety 

- Very good in the car

- Very good with brushing teeth, cleaning ears, shower

- Loves belly rubs, pets, squeaky toys, tennis balls 

- Best for an adults-only home (needs time to warm up)

- Ideally no other dogs but another large calm dog may be okay with a slow and proper introduction 

- Takes a daily anti-inflammatory for her minor arthritis but has no problem going on walks and living a happy life! :)

Next month marks 1 year from Arya’s freedom day from shelter (12.23.2022) and Arya wishes to be truly free, out of boarding - loved and adored in a foster home or forever home  

Apply to foster or adopt Arya on pacificpupsrescue.com. For questions, email info@pacificpupsrescue.com and foster2foreverhome@gmail.com.

See @pacificpupsrescue and @foster2foreverhome on Instagram for more videos and pictures of Arya. 

LUNA

Contact info: Francisco @ 503-875-1024. Or Gavina 503-798-6489. Luna is a beautiful 5 yrs old, female/spayed, 60 lb. Husky/Shepherd mix. She has been around other dogs, not cats. Best with older kids or adults, not small children. Potty trained. Listens well. Up to date on shots. Thank you so very much, Ms Paula 

JAX

Needing to rehome our Dalmatian, Jax. He is four years old, up to date on shots, neutered and is deaf in his left ear, but still hears really well. He does well with basic commands; sit, stay, shake. Has no accidents in the house and we broke his habit of chewing on things that aren’t his toys.

He is skittish of new people at first, but warms up to them fairly quickly. Hit or miss with other animals, sometimes he has no problem with them and other times he’s aggressive.

He’s a barker. Any loud noise or a noise that he can’t see the source of.

Loves bones, balls and treats. Absolutely loves to snuggle. Full of energy, he needs to run daily. 

He has had kidney and bladder stones, he need surgery to remove them. He should eat the U/D urinary care food, prescribed by a vet.

Needing to rehome because he has developed a dog aggression over the years and is now showing aggression toward our children. We unfortunately do not have the resources to correct this behavioral issue and no longer feel comfortable with him around our children.

He is a loving and loyal companion toward his person, but is territorial and protective. Especially with his food, toys and person.

Needs a family with no other pets or small children, and would be best somewhere with a large yard or someone who can take him on regular runs.

My phone number is 541-270-6226 and email address listed (b.kell95@gmail.com) are the best ways to reach me.

Ruby

Ruby is probably 1-½ years old, spayed and has had all of her vaccinations. She's a White Shepard mix. House trained, kennel trained, and no health concerns. Does well with strangers, other dogs, kids. Knows basic commands. Very playful and energetic. She loves to swim and loves to be outside! Will chew things up if left unattended and out of a kennel for too long because she gets bored; doesn’t chew things up in the kennel. 

For more info on Ruby please email merrill@creativemetalworksllc.com

Rio

He’s about 4 years old, he's a red dog mutt.  He is neutered and has had all of his vaccinations. House trained, kennel trained, and no health concerns. Does well with strangers, other dogs, kids. Knows basic commands. He is smart, strong, protective, loyal, and loves anything outdoors. The occasional prey drive, the occasional stubbornness and the potential for separation anxiety are the 3 biggest things to be aware of, but all are quite manageable.

He is a good boy with a huge heart.

For more info on Rio please email <merrill@creativemetalworksllc.com

CHARLIE

Looking to rehome my dog Charlie. He will be 6 years old next month, but still acts like a puppy. He is a border collie/ Australian Sheppard/ shitzu mix. We moved into an apartment due to unforeseen circumstances a few months ago and it is not the best living environment for him. He does have epilepsy and has had regular vet visits all his life. He is up to date on vaccines. He needs a home with a back yard to run and play fetch in. Please contact me via text or call at 541-650-5000. Please leave a voicemail if you call and I will respond promptly.

BAILEY

I am currently looking for a temporary foster (6months) for Bailey. Things are rough right now and it’s a hard decision but necessary to keep us both happy and healthy. I will give you full details about our situation if you are interested in fostering. Info about her below. If you have additional questions about her behavior, health, or needs email me at chrissyrem@gmail.com. Thank you. 

 About Bailey: •4 years old(on oct.1st) •85 lbs(slightly overweight, ideally she should be around 75lbs) •Lab mix (I have dna test results pinned) •Up to date on shots, on simparica and interceptor + for flea and tick control and heart worms •fully house trained •Good with other dogs(selective). Dogs larger than her tend to scare her. •lived with an older cat for the first 3 yrs of her life but will need more training to not chase or become overstimulated in their presence •loves her people, is very loving and friendly and enjoys making new human friends. •fearful of objects like carts, wagons, tents • her reactions towards children is varied. She is fine with my 7 year old niece. It took a lot of training to let her into her circle. Small kids scare her. She will usually bark at running children. •she is a fierce resource guarder around other dogs, but not with humans. •reactive towards loud/unusual noises, she will run away so keeping her leashed or in a fully fenced, secured yard is very important. •has lived in an apartment her whole life but would greatly benefit from a house with a fenced yard. •has severe separation anxiety. She currently spends no time alone. Will do best with someone who works from home, has a partner/roommate/family and alternate schedules, or can provide some sort of care when needed. •I have tried daycare for her, she is overwhelmed by the presence of large packs of dogs. Groups of 3 or less are more her vibe. •she takes trazodone and clomicalm to manage her anxiety •does best with positive reinforcement training. We have tried an e-collar in the past and she had a very negative reaction to it.

Cruz

Cruz Rehoming Post

Meet Cruz! He’s a playful, energetic, 1 ½ year old teen Pitty Mix. He loves to play with his toys or chill

out in his bed or crate. Approximately 60lbs, neutered.

We adopted Cruz mid-March from Multnomah County Animal Services. He was in Foster Care at the

time (due to his exuberant tail) and he seemed to get along with our 3 year old Bosten Terrier, Riker,

on first meeting. Soon the two began playing hard and often snuggling in one of their dog beds when

tired.

…….

As time has passed, Riker has become less tolerant of Cruz, and often snaps at him, leading to us

having to separate the two.

As a puppy, Cruz was very neglected. We learned that he had been raised on an apartment balcony

with feces and debris. When his person was evicted, Cruz was left behind on the balcony to fend. He

was eventually surrendered to the Multnomah County Animal Services, very underweight and with

little to none in terms of socialization and training.

Cruz is a quick learner and has (along with us) been doing training at Urban Pawsiblilties since we

adopted him. He is house trained, crate trained and loves to play fetch. We are working on lose leash

training and muzzle training.

Cruz is stranger reactive and has become more protective of us and our home. Unfortunately, this has

led to him biting two friends. He does well with new people when he is at his training lessons.

With Rikers growing poor disposition around Cruz, along with our rigorous work schedule, we believe

Cruz would thrive better in a different household.

He has lots of energy! It would be ideal for a new owner with lots of patience and time to dedicate to

socialization, training and exercise. It would also be ideal for someone who has a lot of fenced space

and has an active lifestyle. We hate to make this move but, Cruz is a sweet big boy that needs the

right home that could provide what he needs to mature progressively.

If you’d like to meet Cruz, please contact Andrew and Susan Brown at ab66fly@gmail.com.

Odin

• Some things about me:

• Age- 1 yr 9 months

• Neutered

• Love the vet

• Love the groomers and can get my nails trimmed no problem

• Crate trained

• House trained

• Resource guarding is a huge issue for me so I need help learning how to share my things

• I rarely bark

• I am too smart for my own good

Lou

Meet Lou, our changeling puppy. Lou doesn't resemble any of his siblings. HIs coat is a grayish-gold-chocolate-white and it feels like velvet. Lou is an 8-week Australian Shepherd mix. What the mix is we don't know. Perhaps Boxer or a similar breed? Lou weighs about 11 pounds right now, has been dewormed twice, and had his first vaccines this week. Lou's mother Maya, an Australian Shepherd dog, was found abandoned and pregnant in eastern Washington.

Lou is an all boy puppy. He's funny, friendly, and a good listener. Once you get him in your lap he settles in to hear about your day and let you get some serotonin petting his silky coat and playing with his soft ears. He'll offer nibble kisses and a tongue bath too if you snuggle him next to your face. He joins in all the puppy games but generally doesn't instigate any. More of a follower than a leader in the pack. His absolute favorite thing is sleeping in your lap like a limp rag. Lou is a splooter like the rest of his siblings.

Lou is in Portland, OR. If you are interested in adopting him please apply on our website at:

LUANNE

This is Luanne, she is 6 years old and is about 65 pounds.

She is a blue heeler mix who is fully up to date on vaccines and is fixed. She is potty trained and is very communicative about when she needs to go outside.

We are looking to rehome her because we have a baby on the way and dont feel like we will be able to adequately care for her in our little house with a new born baby. She doesnt have a lot of experience with children, but she has been a loving part of me and my wife’s life so far. She has lived with other dogs and other cats before and does not have any issues cohabitating with them.

She loves being outside so a backyard is a must! If you are interested in meeting Luanne, please reach out to graham.cr.baker@gmail.com

Bella

Her name is Bella. She was born in 2015. 

Vaccinated, fixed. Friendly and love outdoors. Calm and very cooperative. She is Australlian cattle sheep with 1/8th of pitbull mix. Has no issues like damaging things or biting things. She barks at strangers or dogs for a few seconds and then stops when she finds they aren't threatening. 

She was trained by my husband. We take her outside with our kid for evening walk and she love that walk. 

 We have started with school again and our second kid on the way. With everything we find it difficult to take care of her and the house. That's the only reason to find her a new home. We will only put for adoption to a good dog friendly family or family with  children who are willing to play with her and take her out or someone we think she will be happy with.

If interested in learning more about Bella please email oshin40@gmail.com

TOBY

Toby is 12 yo, in good health, chipped, flea med and vaccinations  UTD.  His owner, prior to us, died last summer.  He had been with him since he was 6 months old.  Toby came to us with a history of anxiety and separation anxiety.  We have worked with Toby and his vet over the past 10 months to help with this adjustment.  He is currently on a calm chew once a day, trazadone as needed (rarely) and Prozac 10 mg. once a day.  Along with this we have done basic training and commands using a rug for place and hand signals and words to help him with anxiety around someone coming through the door.  Aside from this, he is mellow, sleeps much of the day and is a very sweet dog.  He loves to go on a walk.  Because he has been with a single man most of his life, it would be best if he had a one person household that was home much of the time and did not have a lot of company.  He is socialized around children but too excitable, barks, wants to lick their face, follow them everywhere, etc.  He loves other small dogs and on regular basis and sees a family of 3 for play dates.  No biting at anyone except my husbands pant legs occasionally when he comes through the door or gets up from the chair.  It is because of this closeness to his feet that we need to re home.  My husband was recently put on a blood thinner and cannot risk falling.  In addition, my adult son has moved home which means there are too many people here for Toby. He likes it quiet with just one person to love.  He would love to sleep in a bed but we have trained him to sleep on a dog bed next to our bed.  He sleeps all through the night.  Is potty trained and goes to door to signal need.  Does not like the crate.  We have all supplies that he needs, as well as his medical records from the past 12 years. 

If interested please contact Linda at 612-202-1589

SHINER

A 2.5-year-old male cattle dog mix is in need of rehoming. 

Located in Central Oregon, Shiner is a 40-lb cattle dog mix, who has been with his owners since he was 8 weeks old. Shiner is such a sweet, smart, VERY trainable, and loving boy, until he is not. Given his numerous (and mostly random) attacks towards his owners, he needs to be rehomed to a family with NO children. He is extremely athletic and will run for miles and jump high to catch a ball (and great with fetching), and so easily trainable, but the owners are unable to get his aggression towards them under control. He would likely thrive on a farm where he can be "working."

He is neutered and caught up on vaccines. 100% potty trained, crate trained, and non-destructive when left alone freely in the house (he will just sleep).

His current owners have tried SEVERAL trainers, muzzle training, prong collar, shock collar, crating, medication (for 2 years), and nothing has worked to eliminate his aggression. It's to the point where they are afraid of him and it's impacting the way they live. 

Please call Hilary at 971-222-7573 or email hilary.schider@gmail.com if you are able to help. She is willing to drive him just about anywhere. This is their last chance to save him and they are desperate. We would be so grateful to know that Shiner can live his full life. PLEASE HELP!
