Story
Hi, my name is McCall 🖤🤍 I’m a 2-year-old Border Collie boy weighing 18kg, and most people notice my eyes first. One shines bright blue, and the other is deep and dark — my special odd eyes make everyone look twice. But I hope one day, when you look at me, you’ll see more than just my appearance. I hope you’ll see my heart, too. Before rescue, my life was not very kind. I spent a long time tied to a short leash, without the freedom to run, play, or simply be a happy young dog. I didn’t receive the love and care every dog deserves. But somehow, even after everything, I still love people very much. Being with humans is my favorite thing in the world. I love when people play with me, talk to me, and spend time with me. Throw a ball for me, run around with me, or simply laugh with me, and you’ll see my whole face light up. I don’t just want toys or treats — I want connection. I watch people closely, respond to their emotions, and get so excited when someone gives me attention and love. I also enjoy making dog friends and playing with them. I’m naturally social, cheerful, and friendly, so I usually fit in well wherever I go. Because I’m a Border Collie, I’m a very smart boy. I learn quickly, notice patterns fast, and pay close attention to people and my surroundings. I’m happiest when I can use both my body and my brain. Training, games, learning routines, and communicating with my family are things that truly make me feel fulfilled. But I should be honest with you too — I have a lot of energy! I’m still young, and I love to run, explore, and stay active. A short walk alone probably won’t be enough for me. I dream of a family who enjoys adventures, outdoor time, play sessions, and teaching me new things. If you love spending time with your dog instead of simply having a dog beside you, we might be perfect for each other. There’s something important you should know: I’ve never really experienced normal family life before. Living inside a home, learning routines, waiting calmly alone, understanding house manners — these are all new things for me. Sometimes I may get excited, curious, or make little mistakes while I learn. But I promise I’m trying my best. I’m not a “difficult” dog. I’m simply a dog who is finally getting the chance to learn what love and family feel like. With patience, guidance, and kindness, I know I can become an incredible companion. Once, I could only watch the world from the end of a short chain. Now, I’m waiting for the chance to run freely, feel safe, and belong to someone forever. Maybe my odd eyes are special… but what I really hope you’ll love is my warm heart, my happy spirit, and how much I want to share my life with you. I’ll be waiting for my forever family. Maybe it’s you. 🖤🤍

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
With a name like Stetson, you'd expect a dog ready to ride off into the sunset. This handsome, copper-colored Husky is still working on something a little more important: learning that the world isn't such a scary place. Stetson came to rescue with his three siblings, all of whom needed time, patience, and some serious grooming. Behind those alert ears and beautiful eyes is a young dog who deserves a chance to build confidence at his own pace. His ideal family will understand the Husky personality, appreciate the importance of positive training, and be willing to celebrate progress rather than demand perfection. Cowboy hat optional. Patience required. A lifetime of adventures? That's the goal.

Story
Some dogs have movie-star looks. Sander has the entire fluffy leading-man package. With his warm reddish coat, expressive eyes, and wonderfully plush fur, this young Husky is hard to overlook. But Sander is looking for someone interested in getting to know the dog behind that beautiful face. Like his siblings, Sander arrived in rescue frightened and needing care. His next chapter should be filled with kindness, predictable routines, and opportunities to discover new things without being overwhelmed. He'll need a family prepared for the exercise, enrichment, and training that come with a young Husky, along with the patience to let a relationship develop naturally. The best friendships aren't always instant. Some are built one good experience at a time.

Story
Our community helped choose Shiloh's name. Now we're hoping someone will help her write the next chapter of her story. Shiloh is the striking black-and-white, blue-eyed girl of our S litter. She's absolutely gorgeous, but her journey to rescue wasn't an easy one. She and her brothers arrived fearful of people and needing some extra attention. Shiloh deserves a family that sees beyond those beautiful blue eyes and understands that building confidence takes patience. Gentle introductions, positive experiences, and a consistent routine will be important as she adjusts to a new home. She's looking for someone who understands Huskies and is ready to offer the time, training, and understanding that a young dog with an uncertain beginning deserves. Her name was chosen with love. Her future can be, too.

Story
Octavia — Already Ahead of the Puppy Curve! Some puppies are still figuring out the basics. Octavia? She's already got a pretty impressive head start! With an estimated birthday in July or August 2026, Octavia is a friendly, happy girl who absolutely loves other dogs. She's always up for making a new four-legged friend and would love a family who appreciates her social side. And here's where Octavia really shines: she's already crate trained AND potty trained! Not bad for such a young pup! With her beautiful dark coat, bright brown eyes, and adorable white chest, she's as cute as she is lovable. At around 21 pounds, she's still growing and has plenty of puppy adventures ahead. Octavia is looking for a family that will keep up with her training, give her plenty of opportunities to play, and love her through every stage of growing up. She's already mastered some important puppy lessons. Now she just needs to learn what having a forever family feels like. Apply at workingdogsnw.org

Story
Sterling has the kind of face that makes you stop scrolling. With his rich cinnamon-and-white coat and beautiful blue eyes, this handsome Husky certainly knows how to make an impression. But Sterling's story is about more than good looks. He and his siblings came to rescue unsure of people and needing some extra care. He's looking for someone who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. Sterling would benefit from a patient family willing to provide gentle encouragement, consistent routines, and positive-reinforcement training. He doesn't need someone expecting a perfect dog on day one. He needs someone who will appreciate every small step forward and give him the opportunity to become the dog he's capable of being.

Story
BEST WAY TO INQUIRE, EMAIL Adoptions@BAMMRESCUEPDX.ORG 2 yr old tricolor M/N Kelpie/GSD mix Looking for a dogs dog?? Gunner is your guy! He was comfortable enough around me, allowed touch, took treats, interacted some with me, but he really really wanted to play with the big dog in the next yard. He wasn't aloof though! Took treats gently, eager to please and loved being called a good boi, it was a fun yard time for both us us He does seem to be feeling the stress from the shelter, some have had some trouble getting him out of his kennel but he was perfectly behaved for me. This is an active breed, he will need consistent physical and mental exercise to be happy, it is likely what is causing his current stress and occasional barrier reactivity. It is worth noting that he was a very loud bork monster when I first approached his kennel but after 3 treats he was ready to follow me anywhere I was going Knows how to sit, walks well on the leash (just a tiny bit of pulling) and seemed potty trained!! ##2528145##

BEST WAY TO INQUIRE, EMAIL CONTACT@BAMMRESCUEPDX.ORG Ceasar is a 15mth old altered male kelpie mix Ceasar Hey, I’m Ceasar. I’ll be real with you — I’m still figuring this whole “new people” thing out. Meeting strangers makes me nervous, and if I feel cornered, I might snap. But here’s the thing: once I get to know you and trust you, my softer side comes out, and I can relax and be myself. The good news? I get along with dogs way easier than I do with people! They help me feel comfortable and confident. With patience, training, and someone willing to go slow, I know I can keep improving just like I did with my foster. If you’re the type of person who believes in second chances and helping an underdog shine, I’d love to be your project pup and, eventually, your best friend. ##2498991##

He is looking for experienced, steady leadership to help him continue that upward trajectory.He would do best in:• An adult-only home (no young children)• An active household that enjoys walks, hikes, and enrichment• A secure yard (he’s athletic and curious!)• A home with breed experience and commitment to continued training    ##2622392##
