My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Richy is a handsome little gentleman who we rescued after he and a group of small dogs were dumped in an orchard. All the dogs were trapped and brought to our partner rescue's facility and then we offered to bring Richy up to help him find a loving home.

- Approximately 1-2 year old and 27 pounds but could stand to lose a pound or two

- We took our best guess at Border Collie/Chihuahua mix. Richy is a terrific size! He's a petite boy.

- Lower/medium energy level. Richy would likely appreciate a calmer home. He can be somewhat timid but is very sweet and wants love.

- Always wagging his tail

- Has been good with other dogs. Richy was rescued with 7 other dogs and one of the male dogs really picked on him. Richy would take it and go belly up. He has quite a few scars on his head from the other dog unfortunately. We would love to find Richy a home with another nice female dog in his future home.

- Walks on leash nicely

- Goes in the crate willingly and seems comfortable in there

- Holds his potty readily when crated

- Tested well with the cat in his foster home. He was polite and gave the cat space.

Richy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Portland, Milwaukie or Tualatin.

Additional adoption info

We are a volunteer run organization and try our best to return correspondence promptly, however sometimes there are delays. We appreciate your patience.

The first step to meeting one of our dogs is to fill out an adoption application at www.agavedogs.com.

Once we receive your adoption application we will call you to discuss what dog might be the best match for you. We will connect you with the foster home who has the dog you are interested in adopting. Once you meet the dog, let us know if it is a love match and if you would like to adopt the dog. We will email you an adoption agreement to complete and return.

Our adoption fees range from waived entirely to $550 depending on the dog, age, breed and it's behaviors. Our work to save dogs is supported by our adoption fees and donations. Enjoy your new dog and please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or updates. We love happy photo updates!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All of our dogs are in foster homes that help them to learn to be good house guests. Our foster dogs thrive in a home environment rather than a scary shelter where they would become stressed. Plus we gain lots of good information about the dog's personalities in a foster home setting.

All foster homes are located within 45 minutes of Portland, Oregon. Once we receive your adoption application and chat with you, we will provide you the foster home's contact information that has the dog you're interested in meeting.
