What is Rehome?
If you see pets listed by a private owner, it means that they’re adoptable through Adopt a Pet’s Rehome program – the safe and reliable way to find a loving new home for your pet.
I believe Irwin would do best in a quiet home with at least two people, ideally one of whom works from home. I also think he would probably do best living with at least one other dog to help him build confidence. I love him, but cannot give him what he needs and am willing to rehome him to the right situation for him to thrive.
Irwin has separation anxiety, which he is currently on medication for.
I adopted Irwin from Multnomah County Animal Services in November 2025. He was found in a trailer with 5 other dogs.
He has some anxiety around meeting new people when on leash and seems more comfortable and quicker to warm up to new people off leash especially if they go slowly and have treats. He has been friendly with visitors to my home.
He loves other dogs and will play chase and also gently wrestle. He does not appear to guard resources and accepts redirection.
