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
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.

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.

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.

Scooby is extremely friendly with people and all other dogs at the dog park but it seems like he has some resource guarding specifically with my dog at home. He’s fully house trained and knows common commands (unless he’s super excited) 2 years old, neutered, updated on vaccines. He’s about 40 pounds boarder collie, German shepherd, terrier mix. I rehomed him a few months ago and it isn't working out so would love to find him a new home.

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.
Hi! My name is Odin, you know, like the Norse god of wisdom who sacrificed his eye to know all. Still growing into the wisdom part, and my one eye does not slow me down.
Some things about me:
Age- 1 yr 9 months
Neutered
Love the vet
Love the groomers and can get my nails trimmed no problem
Love every human on this planet, including the little ones
I have been to doggy daycare and dog parks, but I am still trying to figure out how I feel about other dogs, so unfortunately you can’t trust me as I don’t always know how to act with them
On the plus side, I have been much kinder to my feline friends and they seem to like me too
Crate trained
House trained
Resource guarding is a huge issue for me so I need help learning how to share my things
I know all my basic commands
I sleep through the night and do not snore
I rarely bark
I am too smart for my own good
If interested in Odin please contact bjenkins1082@gmail.com
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:

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
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 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
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!
This Prince is Looking for His Forever Home!
Name: Prince
Age: 5 ½ years old
Breeds: 25% American Staffordshire Terrier
25% Blue Tick Coonhound
12.5% Heeler/Cattle Dog
12.5% Boxer
25% "Herding/Guard Breeds"
Location: Portland, but open to travel (WA, CA, OR) for the right fit
Contact: Holly Horan – 248.259.0335 or hollymhoran@gmail.com
We adopted Prince as an 8 week old puppy and while we love him dearly, we now
have a 14 month old and Prince is not adjusting well. We are giving him all we can, but
it’s just not enough and it’s become apparent that he’s unhappy/becoming more
anxious by the day. We truly believe there’s a situation out there where he’ll be so
much happier.
Ideal households for Prince:
1. Someone with an active lifestyle looking for an adventure buddy. Prince loves
to hike, swim, run and play, and when he’s tired he’s a much more relaxed
version of himself
2. A home with a lot of property where he can be outside most of the day -
roaming free and lounging
Note - older kids in the home may be ok, but younger kids would not. He does great
with small/medium sized dogs, but can be weird with bigger dogs. Not good with cats.
He has his cuddly moments, but is also very content in his own space and does well
when left home alone. He is vocal and responds to certain stimuli - particularly
skateboards/scooters and any animals he sees on the TV. We’ve met with behavioral
trainers to work on these quirks, but someone with more time and energy to put into
training may have more success. He’s currently on Fluoxetine and Trazodone to help
with his anxiety (has been on them for three years).
Overall Prince is a very sweet and fun loving dog, but in the long run we do think
rehoming is best for all parties, and we are committed to finding a his new forever
home.

PLEASE help us find him a new home

I adopted Jack just over four years ago from Family Dogs New Life Shelter. I was looking for a mellow, house-trained dog and Jack fit the bill. He is a sensitive and sweet dog that rarely barks, doesn't need a ton of exercise, and mostly just does his own thing (can act more like a cat than a dog). They estimated his age to be between 3 and 5 when I adopted him, which puts him between 7 and 9 now.
The past four years have had their ups and downs, and unfortunately I am now needing to find a new loving home for Jack due to needing to spend time with my family in Hawaii and my partner's anxiety, which Jack's anxiety can trigger.
Some of the positives: many van adventures/road trips, walks around the block and hangs in the backyard, and pets and head scratches while watching movies. Some of the challenges: navigating his separation anxiety (which he is now on meds for), having to board him fairly often due to frequent travel, and having to learn that he is aggressive with other dogs until he gets to know them
I believe Jack would do okay in a home with another dog, as long as they were introduced slowly and he didn't see the other dog as a threat. Cats and other animals should be fine. A home with small children wouldn't be a good option as he has some sensitive areas (his back and butt) that if touched unexpectedly he might freak out a little.
I think he would do very well in a home with some land where he can roam and have some space. It is a very hard decision to rehome Jack but I am excited to find him a home that will support his needs and quality of life.
Thanks for considering adopting Jack, who is such a sweet dog. For more info, please email: orionfalvey@gmail.com.
Looking for a nice calm home for this one. She is about 7/8. I'm not exactly sure what breed she is, just know shes a pitbull of sorts. Spayed and UTD on shots as of a couple years ago. Crate trained, potty trained. She loves kids and gets quite protective pretty fast even when she doesn't know the kid. Rough housing gets her excited and she will tend to push her way through, in s playful manner, to make sure kids are not harmed. Shes not too fond of cats/ chickens etc. and she gets along with most dogs as long as they aren't around her food or trying to dominate her. There is a certain type of person she is weary of. She can definitely sense fear or uncertainty and can react on that. She's never bit anyone and is mainly all bark but does have a deep snarl/ growl when she is scared or being protective. She is a love bug, loves to cuddle, lay in bed with you, sometimes under the covers. She does have a playful side as well. I'm having to move where I can't take her, I absolutely hate it but I dont have a choice and I'm running out of options right now. I'm not worried about a fee but I will want to do a home check.

This is Pig. He is 3-years old and non-neutered. He is up to date on all of his shots. Unfortunately, his owner passed away suddenly two weeks ago. We are looking to re-home him as soon as possible.
We would encourage a home without children. We are unsure how he may be. He lived with other dogs and elderly. We are unsure about cats. He is a sweet boy that needs a lot of attention.
Thank you! For more info please email amyhobbsha@gmail.com
Güla (sounds like goo-luh) is a young Pit Bull/ Shar Pei mix weighing about 50lbs. She's just under two years old and came to Oregon last September from an overcrowded California shelter.
Great in the car, house and crate trained.
Would pair best with a home with no kids, or dog respectful kids over the age of 8. She is nervous around younger children. No food allergies or sensitivities.
Gula is working on loose leash walking and general obedience training and she's making great progress. Food is her favorite. Gula is medium to high energy, really enjoys being outside and would pair well with a family or individual that has a big back yard or property, but can also be a lap or couch potato true to her bully breed.
She enjoys the company of other dogs and being in a pack, but can be selective about other dogs and will require a slow introduction. Gula is working through leash reactivity with other dogs while on walks and stranger danger (humans) in new spaces. For this reason I am looking to rehome her so she can have an easier trajectory in the world. I have been working with her on redirection using treats as positive reinforcement and she has made a lot of progress! For this reason she would be best suited to live outside of the city or apartment complex where she is not faced with on leash meets on such a regular basis.
