Jake is a full blooded boxer that needs to find a new forever family. Jake was born in April 2009 (16 months) and has been a wonderful addition to our family.  He is very goofy at times and loves to chew on toys. He also loves running around the yard and going to the beach. He is a large boxer weighing about 80 lbs. He is neutered and current on all his vaccinations. He is a full blooded boxer but does not have papers. He is in a house with other dogs and cats and small children and gets along with them all. He typically is very friendly and playful but recently he has bitten two people both were strangers. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we need to find him a new home ASAP. We would love for him to go to a loving home who has the time to have him trained to not bite and to learn good manners. We love him very much and are very sad to have to get him a new place to live. He is used to staying inside alot but also needs a big yard to run and play.
Please let me know if you can help find Jake a new family. If so, please contact Mary at  at 503-349-8724.

Name: Isabela
Female/spayed
Age: 10 months
Breed: Black lab mix (not sure what she's mixed with)
Weight: approx. 35 lbs

Isa (pronounced eesa) is a wonderful family dog who has been through puppy training,
is great around other dogs, and is amazing with toddlers and kids. We can no longer
keep her because we are now gone up to 10 hours a day, and she isn't getting the
attention she deserves. She is pretty mellow for a puppy, and simply wants to be
around people. We crate trained her while we were potty training her, and she will
sleep in a crate at night without a problem.
Ideally, Isa would be with someone who is home more than a few hours in the evening
and could walk her a little bit every day. She would mix very well with a family
that has children, since that is what she's used to now. Isa will probably never
exceed 40 or 50 lbs so she's very easy to manage. She's a sweetheart who just needs
more love than we can give her right now.

Name: Max
Sex: Male (neutered)
Age: 4 years
Breed: Chocolate Lab/Bordie Collie Mix
Weight: 65

Max is a wonderful family pet.  He is well trained and is a great running partner.  He looks like a little rottweiler.  He has beautiful markings and is very mild.  We are sad to have to put him up for adoption.  He is an inside dog and loves to sit by your feet.  So many good things to say about this dog.  For more information contact me at  joelleschnell@yahoo.com

Finn is a 9-month-old yellow lab with an abundance of energy.  He loves to socialize with other dogs as well as humans.  He looks big for his age, so you would expect him to be more mature, but he is still very much a puppy.  We believe that he would do well with someone who has a lot of time to spend training and tiring Finn out – or with other very energetic dogs.  Finn is not at all malicious. He is very sweet. But like most labs his age, he is still very mouthy and sometimes does not know his own strength

Finn is up to date on all of his vaccinations.  He has been neutered and is quite healthy.  He comes with a crate, food dishes, leash/collar, toys, brush/toothbrush and I’m sure some odds and ends we forgot.

We are sad to part with Finny, but feel this is best for him as well as for our family.  We have a newborn and my husband has been traveling for work much more than we had expected.  I just don’t have what it takes to keep up with him.

Please contact me if you would like to meet Finn.   Casey Loomis  503 333 4487

URGENT!!! Dignan (male, lab/pit mix) & Koshen (pronounced "caution",
female, cattle dog/pit mix) are two 11-year old dogs in need of a forever
home. Their owners recently found out their 2-year old son is severely
allergic and can't be in the house with animals.  They have been together
their entire lives and would love to stay together.  Dignan & Koshen do fine
with other dogs & cats.  They are neutered & spayed, housetrained, up to
date on vaccines, have had routine wellness vet visits & had recent
healthy exams, heartworm negative and on heartworm & flea prevention.
Koshen needs to take daily thyroid medication (which is inexpensive & she
takes it easily) and is slightly arthritic, but that doesn't slow her
down.   Dignan loves to sun himself while Koshen loves to play with (and
in) the water.  They both still enjoy daily long walks and lots of belly
rubs. Dignan can bark "I love you" and Koshen catches treats off her
nose. They don't jump up on people and are very well trained.
If you are interested in adopting Koshen please contact: Tricia.Rhodes@am.jll.com

Hello, my name is Mr. Chompers! I’m a very special guy who needs a very special home.

I had a very difficult upbringing that I struggle each day to overcome.  My current family adopted me about 3 years ago when I was 7 years old.  Before living with my current family, I was not taken care of properly, was 30 lbs underweight, and became rather distrustful of people.  Over the last 3 years I’ve made some good progress in being able to bond with my humans and I love, love, love my pack leader.  He’s the best!  I need humans in my life who are kind and patient, but also who speak to me firmly and with a commanding voice so that I can be sure of where I stand in my pack.  I’m not a big fan of soft cooing, crying, or loud noises – though I do enjoy being sung to!  I need to live in a house with no young children, but I’m great with adults, cats & dogs.

I’m a growler!  I growl when I’m uncomfortable in a situation, scared, or sometimes I growl when I’m sleeping or for seemingly no reason at all.  When I growl I’m telling everyone that I need to be left alone – and I go immediately to my safe place (my comfy dog bed) in a room to readjust my attitude.  Usually I’m apologetically wagging my tail and asking to rejoin everyone after a few moments of reflection.

I also have many good qualities!  I rarely bark, I’m super loyal, and I with always be on point to guard my loved ones and my house!  I’ve lived with dogs and cats and I get along with both just fine (I like to sniff and hang around the dogs and I’m very respectful of cats – one cat even kind of bullies me from time to time if you can imagine!).  I respond well to treats, I love bones and vegetables (yum!).  I’m willing to sit for anything, and I take treats very gently.

When I want some pets, I can be very endearing!  I like to give big puppy eyes for pets and will roll on my back for belly pets.  I walk well on a leash and I love walks, exploring, and riding in cars.  I never get on furniture or jump on visitors.  I don’t dig, but I will occasionally steal a cucumber from your garden!

My current family is getting a new baby and I know I can’t live with babies or young children.  I know I’m an older guy, but I’m very healthy and spry and I can make a wonderful companion for a special individual or family!  If you think you could be my new family, please, please let my family know!  They will be happy to give you much more information, answer any questions, and set up a time for you to meet me!  Everyone deserves a second chance.  Thank you!

This is hard to do, giving up a pet is something I really am struggling with. We
love Scout, he's a great little (14 lbs) mutt part chihuahua, part unknown. He's
larger then most chihuahua's and looks like a little lab puppy. Sadly, he just needs
more then we can give him. We are financially, and emotionally not in the right
place to care for him. We have had him for 5+ years. We adopted him from a no-kill
shelter in california, we were told he was young (under 1), potty trained, and well mannered, but
that he hates dogs.  Within a month he had his first seizure. He has been on
epilepsy medication since then, and he will need it the rest of his life. 

He is anywhere from 6-10 years old. When we adopted him they thought he was about 1,
but he has had horrible teeth and they really cannot tell. He is starting to go grey
though, but he's still very cute. 

He is potty trained, but due to the medication he is always thirsty, so if you leave
water out there will be accidents because he will drink until he throws up, and then
he can not control his bladder. We've solved this by simply giving him water with
breakfast and dinner, once in a while an ice cube on hot days. He would be best if
he had a doggy door so he could let himself in and out, but it is something we just
want someone aware of. 

He is well mannered and loves people. He hates dogs, but over time will come to
tolerate them if they are together for a prolonged time. I would not suggest that he
be left alone with other pets though. 

He has all his current vaccinations, and has pet insurance that helps with taking
care of him. He is microchipped. 

We love him, but its just too much right now. This year has not been good to us,
like many others in the world, it is slowly getting better but first we need to move
and get a little more stable financially. If you would like to meet him, or want
pictures of him please let us know. We are going to try to find him a good home for
the next week or two, but are considering giving him directly to a no-kill shelter
so that we know he is in good hands.

Our family sadly needs to find a new home for our beloved dog, Jake.  He is a mixed breed (australian shepard/setter mix)  He is totally loving and a great companion, however he was raised in the country and is not doing well in the city.  An ideal placement would be in a home with a loving family that likes kisses and a happy dog to come home to each day.  He loves to walk, run and is great off the leash out in the woods for long walks.  He does best when not around cats.  He is 7 years old and weights approximately 40 lbs.  If interested please call Heather at 503-954-3779.

Ladybug is looking for love, and alot of it!  We, (the vet and I) believe she is a beagle/cocker cross, she yodels and woo-woo’s when she greets new people and spins in circles with excitement when her people come home at last.  She is estimated to be around 6 years old, and weighs 19lbs, she is spayed, very fit, healthy and current on her shots and healthcare.  Loves to snuggle in bed, will play fetch for hours on end, and thinks humans are the absolute best invention since the ball thrower!  Gets along well with cats, adores kids, but wants to be a one dog family. Although she gets along with our Walker hound/springer mix, she is snappish to other dogs when they get in her space and is more likely to start a tussle than play with them, not,  “I’m all teeth I’m going to eat you”, more, “I am bigger, hear me roar first” which could get her into trouble if she ever found a dog that didn’t run from her challenge!
We need to rehome her, as we both work full time, and she has separation anxiety, that we’ve tried medicating to no avail, she really needs a friend who is home with her most of the day, a retiree would be the best.  She is not destructive when left alone, but she will pee on the floor. We put her in an outdoor kennel during the day where she cries for her humans, not to the point that the neighbors will call and complain, she’s not barky about it, just cries and whines.  Ladybug came to us for this reason, due to her apartment dwelling owner not being able to deal with it any longer, and we have had her 4 years.  It hasn’t been easy, the decision to rehome her, as we love and adore her spunky spirit, but we want her to be happiest, and that isn’t pining away waiting for us to come home every day.
Ladybug is very well trained, walks on a leash and loves to go walking, and fetching,  she’ll come running and sit in front of you calmly to wait for her leash to be put on, she sits, stays, and moves over in the bed when you tell her too. Easy to bathe and she doesn’t require alot of grooming, she’s not a shedder and doesn’t get mats easily.  She also will stay close to you when off leash, and when you call her, she’ll come running, so her Beagle nose is obviously not in control of her.  She travels very well either in her crate, or loose in the car, we travel alot, camping in our RV, so she is well used to it.
Email or call us at 971-998-8589 to come meet Ladybug, or if you have any questions.

Male/Neutered
2 1/2 years old
Lab mix
70 lbs
Current on all vaccinations
Social with children and dogs/animals
Rehoming due to medical emergency in family
Sawyer and Jackson are brothers who love each other deeply and could be
placed in a home together or might also enjoy alone time by being placed
separately.  They love children and currently live with an 8 year old and a
5 year old.  They are friendly with other dogs - all sizes - and even cats.

Sawyer (brown) is a lover.  He cuddles (too closely) on the bed and is
always by your side.  He does have food allergies, which simply means he is
fed wheat free/corn free dog food.  He also has those sensitive "lab" ears
and we watch him closely if it is windy or rainy (Oregon!).  

Both dogs have gone through basic training.  They walk good on a leash with
a leader/halty.  They are city dogs and have a fenced yard, are house
trained and crate trained.  They visit 'family' in the country and are used
to open areas and livestock.  

A member of the family is undergoing extensive cancer treatment and with 2
kids, work and health issues, the dogs have not received the love and care
they deserve.

Chloe is a 3 and half year old Boarder Collie/ Lab mix.  She is a fun loving family dog that loves to chase squirrels, her ball and going for walks and hiking.  Chloe is up to date on all vaccinations, has been neutered and has a tracking chip.  She has puppy like energy but has moved out of the chewing stage and is house broken.  She gets along great with other dogs and children ages 4 and up.  If you’re looking for a loyal companion to make an addition to you or a family she is the dog for you!  She currently lives in the Beaverton area.

Kemper is a goofy, intelligent, and gorgeous white German shepherd dog.

Kemper is 3 years old, very healthy, and about 55 pounds. He is on the smaller side but very well put together and active.Kemper is altered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and flea control, fed a raw diet (and has to be on a high quality kibble if you are going to switch him), and knows many commands. He has very little prey drive towards cats or other small animals and is alert to what goes on inside and outside of the home. He is also a fantastic companion, mostly a one person dog, and he bonds tightly to his person. He is good with kids but as with any pet, should not be left unsupervised with younger ones. He would be a great family dog and is very tolerant of handling. Kemper knows 28 commands and could learn more. He is a very smart dog and easily trained.

Kemper does not get on furniture, counter surf, does not have separation anxiety, is not destructive, leaves your stuff alone, doesn’t get into the garbage or roll on things, is good with cats, bunnies and birds and most other dogs, and loves getting belly scritches. He is a good cuddler and plays gently most of the time. Kemper walks pretty well on leash but could always use some reinforcement for heeling. He is perfectly housebroken as well.

The biggest thing that Kemper needs is stability and an understanding of his few issues. He has a mild pancreatic disorder called EPI which is common in GSD’s and rough collies. Fortunately, Kemper’s condition is very mild and has calmed down since he hit maturity. He no longer requires the extra enzymes that severe EPI dogs need, but he does have a very high metabolism and as a result, he eats more than a dog his size normally would. His EPI also has him constantly hungry; this makes him easy to train but it causes him to have food possession issues. For this reason, he should be fed in his crate. He should not be touched or messed with while eating and you should make him work for his food by going through his commands first and waiting until he is calm to release him. If he is going to be switched off of his raw diet, he must be switched to Orijen, Acana, GO!, or NOW!. He does not do well with most kibble so this is pretty important.

Kemper plays well with other dogs but does not get along well with unaltered males. He has an outgoing personality and can kind of be an instigator but he doesn’t start fights and is good about ignoring dogs who do try to start fights with him. He has a big bark but is also a very vocal “talker” with all sorts of groans, sighs, moans, grunts, whines, yaps and “awoooowooowowo’s”. He will alert you when people are approaching the house but will be quiet once you ask him to. He doesn’t bark out of boredom. When Kemper is out with you and off leash, he sticks close and checks back often. He doesn’t run away from you and is very good about coming to a general “Kemper, c’mere!”.

I simply cannot afford to care for him any more, and though I love him a lot, I want what is best for him and that is stability.

Please let me know if you would like to have this loyal, goofy, active, handsome and loving dog in your life. He will come with all of his supplies (and he is very spoiled). I would like a contract in return for you to commit to keep him as long as possible and to return him to me if you can no longer have him for any reason, keep him on a raw diet primarily (I will teach you all about this), and if kibble is in his diet, it must be high quality (I can again teach you all about this), and that he not be allowed unattended with food around other animals or kids because of his food possession. We can work out the contract together and I would like to stay in contact with you. I would also like to offer support with him when you need it including petsitting and training.

He will come with a nice big bed, proof of vaccinations, clicker and treats, a crate, food dishes, the rest of his food and supplements, all sorts of toys, hiking gear (a backpack!), leashes, collars, his coat, brushes, shampoo, and any other stuff that I have for him.

I am asking that an adoption donation of $150 be made to a local rescue upon adoption but this is negotiable to the right home.

Please contact kenyachams@gmail.com if you are interested in meeting Kemper.
