Story

Tucker is a 1 year old possible border collie mix. He is a bit bigger than a medium size dog, tall and lanky. I adopted Tucker about a week ago from a foster on Craigslist. Not much is known about his past but I was told he was surrendered from a family with health problems in Bend, OR. His Foster had him for a week, and had several small dogs and farm animals and he seemed to be doing fine. Him and I bonded immediately, he is a Velcro puppy who just wants to be with his person. I have a small dog in my house and two cats. He started to develop some jealousy whenever the other animals got attention, nipping and chasing them. He gets extremely reactive when he sees other people or dogs, and I physically don’t have the strength to hold him back. He is so smart and sweet, but I had to make the hard decision to let him go. He would do well in a home where he can be the center of attention, and work with someone 1:1 with either land or a large well fenced in backyard.

Alder

Border Collie

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Alder is an extremely sweet, quiet, shy boy. He is the dog version of an introvert. He is gentle and sticks to himself and is great with other dogs of all sizes and with cats. He doesn't engage much with them thought as he prefers to do his own thing. He has to be the most low maintenance and chill dog I've ever had in the rescue out of hundreds of dogs. He is hesitant with people he doesn't know but never aggressive. Not an ounce of aggression. He was listed as a pit bull mix at the shelter when he was smaller and still a younger puppy but now that he is an older puppy (about a year) it's obvious that he is not a pittie but looks more like a border collie. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.

Story

Our parents have dementia and adopted this adorable puppy in August. They have not been able to take care of him in the way he needs -- they cannot take him for walks, etc. Despite not having exercise, he has remained very sweet and gentle! We are moving our parents into memory care this week and he cannot come. He deserves a good home where he can get lots of exercise and stimulation.

Story

Oreo was taken in from a woman moving into an apartment, and has been very loving for the past year. He has stayed with an older man and his adult children—who can’t meet all of Oreos needs, including socialization, exercise/work, and training. If you’re excited to work with a smart pup who needs someone to train him up, look no further.

Story

Here's what you need to know about me:I'm Bandit! Not only am I handsome, in my last home I was crate trained & house trained! I love to be with my people, anything from fetch and jogging to hikes and camping- I'm down! I've been doing well on my car rides!I'm an active dog! I would love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures.I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.I have some handling sensitivity. That means I have some preferences about how and where I get petted. My human friends at the shelter can tell you more!I need a home without cats. We just don't get along - even if they don't mind me, I can't be in the same home with them.I need a space of my own. I sometimes have a hard time sharing my treats, toys, or bed with other pets. Ask an adoption counselor for more information.I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor.I'm not on the general adoption floor. You might not see me when you come to visit. So please speak to an adoption counselor if you'd like to meet me. Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 75 Age: 1yrs 5mths 3wks
