Story
We adopted Riley about 4 years ago when she was a puppy from a rescue in Portland that helped get dogs off the street in Mexico. Riley loves to lounge around in the sun or curl up under a blanket with you on the couch. We just took her through a basic dog training class in Salem. She’s playful and will play tug-o-war with ropes or fetch with kongs. She has been a great dog, but sadly our smaller, elderly dog has lost her hearing and beginning to lose her sight as well. This has resulted in the two dogs getting in fights when the elderly dog doesn’t hear any warnings that Riley needs space or is being protective with her food.

Story
Meet Smudge! ❤️ Smudge is a 10-month-old, 25 lb. Chihuahua Terrier mix with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. She’s looking for a patient, loving home where she can continue to grow into the confident little dog we know she’s capable of becoming. Smudge can be a little anxious, jumpy, and timid around new people, but with time, patience, and a predictable routine, she continues to come out of her shell. Once she trusts you and chooses you as her person, she’ll be your most loyal little shadow, happily following you wherever you go. Smudge does best with medium to large, friendly dogs and would enjoy having a confident canine companion to help her feel secure. She is looking for a cat-free home and would do best with children ages 9 and older who can be patient, respectful of her space, and allow her to build trust at her own pace. She’s still a puppy at heart and loves to play, but she will thrive in a calm, supportive home where she can settle in and continue gaining confidence. Watching Smudge blossom and learn to trust is incredibly rewarding, and she’ll make a wonderful companion for someone willing to give her the time, patience, and understanding she deserves. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal little dog who just needs a chance to shine, Smudge might be the perfect addition to your family. Smudge's adoption fee is $295, and she is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Come meet Smudge today!

Meet Rumi BC, a petite 6-year-old beige and white Chihuahua who's as sweet as they come! 🐕 I'm spayed, crate trained, and already comfortable around other dogs — plus I get along great with older children. I'm a gentle, cuddly girl who warms right up once I know you, though I'm a bit shy at first with new friends. If you're looking for a loving companion who's ready for her forever home, I'd love to meet you! 💕 I was found on the streets, so so skinny! I have LOVED living in my foster home, and do get nervous when they leave me. I want a family who can take me with you! I am waiting!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX)

Peanut has a big dog personality and if he sees other dogs, he gets super excited, and the yipping sounds scary, but he just wants to play!! He's a nipper and he likes to jump on you out of excitement and although he LOVES kids, he should be in.a home with older kids Peanut is still young, and has plenty of energy to play and run.He has been known to be a runner- He will take off and think, it's a GAME and it will be hard to catch him, so careful at the doors nd fences ;) But smart sweet pup loves kisses and lay on your lap . He walks good on a leash i put 2 one on harness and collar since I don't want him to get loose. (harnesses are too easy to get out of, so a martingale collar is his best collar) He can upset a bigger or smaller dog if they don't have a tolerance for nippiness.In the face kinda of thing he loved to play and he runs super fast lol 😆 they would have to be extra careful that he never gets out of front.Door or takes off he laughing fast 😅 Poor little guy almost got run over on these big streets all alone, and we NEVER want that to happen to him again. So now you know more about the firecracker named Peanut. He is a doll!! ADOPT....DON'T SHOP!! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
*Meet Sassy* 🐾 Don't let the name fool you — okay, actually, DO let the name fool you, because Sassy earns every letter of it. This three-month-old spitfire is a Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher mix with the heart of a lap dog and the confidence of a dog three times her size. Sassy is whip-smart (she's already figuring out the humans around her faster than they're figuring her out) and endlessly affectionate — she'll happily curl up in your lap one minute and zoom around the room the next like she's got somewhere very important to be. Spoiler: she doesn't. She just has a lot of opinions and a lot of energy. She's looking for a family who appreciates a dog with personality — someone who'll match her enthusiasm on walks, laugh at her antics, and give her plenty of love (which she will return tenfold). A little structure and consistent training will go a long way with this clever girl, but underneath the sass is a total sweetheart who just wants to be your shadow. *Sassy is ready to bring a little chaos and a lot of love into her forever home.* Local adoption fee is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $750 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Rocky is available through Project POOCH. If you are interested in adoption, learn more and submit an application at pooch.org/adoptable-dogs This dapper young man is quite the gentleman and loves to be greeted each morning. He asks that you come to him and crouch down so that he might say hi. He loves playing, he will bring you his stuffies to tug with, or even throw for a round of fetch. But most of all, he loves you! Rocky is the kind of dog who just wants be involved. He would love to be your little shadow and a part of your life. Whether that is playing tug, romping in the hard, or binge watching The Office for the umpteenth time, Rocky is down to be your buddy. Rocky came to Project POOCH with his littermate, Bullwinkle. While they were originally considered to be a bonded pair, we have seen both dogs shine with some solo time and they've really enjoyed not being lumped in with the other. While they might do good in a home with space for them each to be their own, they have been flying solo at POOCH and blossoming into their own dogs. Interested in meeting Rocky?

Story
Asphalt is available through Project POOCH—learn more at pooch.org/asphalt Asphalt is an adventurous little guy! Don't be the one to try to tell him that little dogs don't do big dog things. He is always eager to join the guys on the walks, is a blast to train, and believes in balancing his work with equal enthusiasm for play. At only 6 lbs, Asphalt rewrites expectations that small dogs are only purse dogs. He joins in on the walks and is a good partner to strut with. The youth are perfecting his leash manners, and he continues to learn more each day. He is, however, still very much ok with being catered to when the time is right. (He even trained some of the youth to wear the sling during chore time so he could stick right by them.) Due to his small stature, Asphalt is looking for an adopter who will respect his autonomy and get consent before attempting to pick him up or leash him. He needs someone who will give him time to warm up and get comfortable in his new environment. If you are willing to do that, he will be your best friend! If you're looking for a pint-sized dog to show up big dogs in the trick department, Asphalt could be a great fit for you. He is incredibly treat-motivated and learns quickly. He's been working on adding to his trick list while at POOCH and would love to show them off to you! Because of his small size and his desire for humans to move slowly with him, a home with small children would not be a good fit. Asphalt is available through Project POOCH—learn more at pooch.org

Story
Meet Necio, a 1 1/2 yr old Standard Xoloitzcuintli weighing about 40 pounds—and a sweet little naked dude! Necio is neutered, incredibly smart, silly, affectionate, and full of personality. He loves his people and is happiest when he can be right there with them, included in whatever is happening. He’s a wonderful little sidekick who enjoys attention, cuddles, and playtime. And, of course, being a Xolo means you get all the fun of having a dog without a house full of hair! Necio is looking for a quieter, more settled home with adults or older teenagers. He can be a little nervous when meeting new people and does best when given time to feel comfortable and build trust. He also experiences some separation anxiety, so his ideal family will be patient, understanding, and willing to continue helping him build confidence and independence. Necio would thrive with someone who is committed to continued training and has knowledge of Xoloitzcuintlis or similar breeds. He is a very smart boy, and having someone who understands his unique personality and needs will help him continue to shine. Because Necio is a hairless breed with sensitive skin, he also needs a little extra daily care. Daily moisturizing is an important part of his routine, and because his skin is sensitive to sunlight, he will need appropriate dog-safe sun protection as part of his care. Necio is looking for someone who will appreciate all the wonderful things that make him a Xolo and give him the patience, consistency, and love he deserves. In return, you’ll have an incredibly loyal, affectionate, goofy companion who wants nothing more than to be your best friend. This special naked guy has so much love to give—and he’s ready to find the person who will adore him right back. Local adoption fee together is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee together is $700 (includes transport to your area)
