Sweetie's Story...
Here’s the deal. I’m a Sweetie! A real Sweetie! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my family! I’m a real family dog, I’m so much of a family dog that I want to loyally protect my family from any and all things. I don’t want to share my home with another dog, because it’s MY family not OUR family…and I’m not so fond of strangers coming in unannounced either, it makes me think my family is in danger…So, as you can see I need a low traffic household, and I need to be the only pet. I’m really a wonderful gal. I’m totally housebroken, smart as a whip, and really, really cuddly! I even know some commands, have good house manners and I am sooo eager to please. What do you say, wanna give me a chance to love your family unconditionally? Wanna give me a change to make you feel safe? 3 years old-65lbs. My adoption fee is $160 and includes; spay, microchip, reduced cost Training Class, free veterinary exam, 1 month pet health insurance, leash/collar, food sample, toy & Treat packet.

About Our Shelter...
Family Dogs New Life is a no kill dog shelter dedicated to rescuing and rehoming needy dogs regardless of age, breed or history. Our organization was built on the belief that all dogs deserve a second chance at a new life. We are here for the dogs who have no other options. This includes dogs that other shelters do not have space for, long term residents who have run out of time and dogs that other shelters may consider 'unadoptable'. Our mission, simply, is to help reduce the number of dogs being euthanized . We take in dogs from Animal Control Agencies and Humane Societies located within the state of Oregon as well as Washington. We also work with many smaller Rescue Groups across the country, as well as a limited number of owner surrendered pets.
Family Dogs New Life Shelter is unique in that we do not house our dogs in kennels or dog runs, but in large play groups or 'packs' of anywhere from 10 - 20 dogs running loose together. They are allowed to play and interact all day long, just like a doggy daycare or dog park. What this does is allow us to monitor their behavior and better determine their true personalities, plus it is great socialization for the dogs.
Family Dogs specializes in matchmaking our dogs with their adopter. The public can not walk through our facility and simply "pick a pet". When you come to our shelter we will talk with you about what type of dog you are looking for, which dogs you saw here on our website that caught your attention, what pets you have had in the past, and what your lifestyle is like. We will then talk with you about which of our dogs will work for your lifestyle and help match you up with dogs that have the qualities you are looking for in a new pet- it's doggie matchmaking! It does take a little more time to do things this way, but we find that many times people choose their new dog based on looks or kennel presentation, this is not a good way to choose a new pet as they are all individuals and have different needs. We will only introduce you to dogs that we are comfortable will be a good match for both you and for the dog.
Since Family Dogs New Life Shelter began in 2004 we have placed over 6000 dogs into permanent homes and could very possibly have the pet you have been longing for, so come on in and meet some of our furry kids! With your help we hope to continue reducing the number of dogs being euthanized each year by taking in needy dogs, providing them a fun and healthy environment until we are able to find them the perfect forever home. We have high hopes of expanding in the future, one day moving to a new larger facility that better fits our dogs needs and eventually starting a sanctuary in the country to provide refuge for truly unadoptable dogs who have no place else to go....Family Dogs believes in community, and we hope that with your support we can reach these goals. Together we can make a difference.
