Story
Meet Tilly! Saved from an overcrowded California shelter, transported to safety in Oregon, and ready to join your pack.    Tilly is a 6 month, 25 pound girl who is the perfect mix of confident, cautious, and curious. The shelter had her listed as a "Basenji mix" and based on her size, coloring, and temperament, there might be some truth to it!   Tilly is a silly, social, happy gal who seems to be content in many situations. Playful dogs in the home? Great! She'll love it. Respectful kids at home? Yay!! More friends! Only have some boring adults who like to sit around and read? That's ok! Get Tilly her library card and she'll be happy to curl up next to you with a good book.   She's been learning her leash skills and enjoys walks around the neighborhood, taking in all the sights and sounds with curiosity and a little caution. She is a pro at potty training and hasn't had any issues in her foster home as long as she's given plenty of opportunities to be outside.    She's also learning to appreciate puppy naps in her crate and has relaxed with her kong with minimal protests for 3 hours during the day. She's willing to sleep in it all night but would prefer to be next to you in the bed. But get ready - when it's time to let her out, your house and yard become an obstacle course for Puppy Parkour! She tears through the space with zoomies and excitement in rejoining her friends.    Tilly is a sharp girl and doesn't miss much. She is at the perfect age for positive reinforcement training classes, and with her keen focus, agile body (thank you, Puppy Parkour), eagerness to please, and food motivation, we are sure she will be the top of her class.   She is so excited about life and doesn't want to miss ANYTHING, so don't be surprised if she tries to sneak out the front door to tag along with you! Her new family must be committed to creating a safe environment for Tilly to thrive. She is only a puppy and still has so much to learn, but based on what we've seen in her foster home, she is working hard on becoming the ultimate doggie best friend and all around goodest girl.    Think you'll be a good fit? Put in an application! Tilly is being fostered in Bay City, OR and currently un-spayed. Her new family will have to agree to taking her to her spay appointment at a later date (cost covered by URR.) Underdogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Adoption fee is $450.  You MUST have an Underdogs Rock Rescue application on file to request a meet with an Underdog. An online Underdogs Rock adoption application can only be accessed at  https://underdogsrock.org/adopt-a-dog  . You must be available to meet an Underdog in their foster's location and dogs are not held for applicants or shipped outside of the Portland metro area. Home checks are also part of the process and will be conducted virtually. For updates on all the Underdogs be sure to follow the Underdogs Rock Rescue Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/UnderdogsRockRescueJune 25, 2026, 1:19 am

Story
Meet Yaz! This 6-month old, 25 pound sweetie is the perfect family dog! She absolutely loves attention and gets along with every human and doggo she meets. She is likely to follow you around the house and try to get as many pets as possible. Yaz seeks out other playful pups and is always down for a good game of chase. She has some dog siblings in her foster home and they zoomie around the yard together every day, so she would love to join a home with another playful dog. She’s also showing signs of some expert level fetch skills, so there may be some ball chasing in her future! Yaz does great on a leash, loving her daily neighborhood walk around SE Portland. She is very curious and loves exploring the world around her. Yaz is nearly fully potty trained and has been learning some basic commands like “sit” and “stay.” She’s a receptive girlie and picks up things quickly, so she is bound to flourish with continued training. This playful little toy fanatic is full of puppy energy and would love a home where she can get all the love, playtime, and adventures her heart could ask for. Underdogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.

Story
Meet Bailey!Bailey is a young Basenji with beauty, brains, and plenty of spirit! This cute girl is full of energy and curiosity, always ready to explore the world around her. One of Bailey’s most adorable quirks is her habit of hopping around on her back legs when she gets excited, sure to bring a smile to your face.Bailey is sweet, intelligent, and eager to learn, but like many young dogs, she will need continued training, structure, and a patient adopter to help guide her into becoming her very best self. She is still learning good manners, including that people are for loving, not mouthing, so she’ll need help and consistency in learning appropriate ways to play and interact. With love, guidance, and plenty of enrichment, Bailey has all the potential to grow into an amazing companion. If you’re looking for a smart, lively pup to share life’s adventures with, Bailey may be your perfect match!If you are interested in meeting Bailey, the shelter is open Monday through Saturday, 11 am – 6 pm, Sunday 11 am-4 pm (Summer Hours). If you’d like to schedule an appointment, check out the pets’ profile on our website at newberganimals.com to fill out an application and email it to frontdesk@newberganimals.com.Due to COVID-19, we are currently only open by appointment. Please follow the instructions on each pet profile.

Story
Prue is a 2 year old, 26 pound mixed breed. She can be a cuddly couch potato partner or an eager walk companion. She loves to fetch and wants to please. She would excel in agility training since she is smart, fast, and agile. Prue is shy around strangers, especially men. She likes to burrow under the covers at night and snuggle. She plays well with other dogs at daycare and cooperates with her groomer. Prue would be happiest in a home where she's the only pet. She's privately fostered while she waits for her forever home.

Story
HI - MY NAME IS BRIE! I'm a 10-month-old Basenji mix in need of a foster or forever home. I weigh only 30 pounds! I was rescued from a crowded California shelter along with my brother Franco (he also needs a home), and it was a pretty traumatic experience for us. But I'm now coming out of my shell, and am ready for a foster or forever home. Like many dogs I'll need some time to transition to a new life, but once I do, I'll be your best friend forever. I am a true medium-sized girl and would do great in a quiet home with a single person, a couple or a family with older kids. Please email for an application.
