Dalmatian puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

Dottie Darling is estimated to be nine years old, but no one has mentioned that to her. We won't if you don't. This beautifully spotted girl looks every inch a Dalmatian and has plenty of bounce, silliness and enthusiasm for working a room. She will happily make the rounds collecting pets, belly rubs and booty scratches, toss in a little playful moment for good measure, and then retire to the couch like the seasoned professional she is. Go watch Dottie Darling | The Spotted Boss of the Couch on YouTube and see this spunky senior girl charm everyone before settling in for a well-earned lounge. https://youtu.be/NLuyUOrW3Zw Dottie’s foster believes she may be a Dalmatian/Pittie mix, although all we see when we look at her is Dalmatian. As always with rescue dogs, breed and age are our best guesses rather than guarantees. Whatever may be in her family tree, Dottie is a wonderfully expressive, delightfully spotty girl with a personality that is all her own. Her energy comes in perfectly manageable little bursts. Dottie enjoys bouncing around, exploring and getting playful, especially when she hears the magical sound of a squeaky toy. She may carry a toy around for a bit, but squeak one and you will have her complete attention. Once she has had her fun, she is more than ready to stretch out and relax. She has big couch-potato energy with just enough playful sparkle mixed in to keep life fun and full of laughs. People are unquestionably Dottie’s favorite. She is confident, affectionate and wonderfully comfortable being handled. During her assessment, she happily moved from person to person collecting attention, rolled onto her back for belly rubs and accepted affection from everyone she met. She forms close bonds with her people and would love a home where she can soak up plenty of one-on-one attention. Dottie is also house trained and has lovely manners in the home. She handles everyday noises and activity well, walks nicely on leash and responds well to guidance. A ground-floor apartment could suit her just fine, provided the complex welcomes a girl of her size and breed. Because she is an older lady, she appreciates breaks, comfortable places to rest and a home that will not expect her to spend long stretches exercising in the heat. Now for the boss-lady portion of Dottie’s résumé. Dottie is dog-friendly, she currently lives with another dog and she has shared her home with him for many years, but their arrangement works because he likes being bossed around and is willing to respect her rules. Dottie's foster find it hilarious because if love is being given out, Dottie wants it to be her turn no matter what the circumstances. She isn't mean, just insistent. Simply, she is not looking for a wrestling partner or a busy canine social life, and her version of the happiest home would be where she is the star of a one-woman all-star show. Dottie has also lived peacefully with cats, and her foster shared they often can be found napping together. When she met our house cat she was very eager to meet him. Because of that difference, we would not consider her broadly cat friendly. A home with a calm, aloof, dog-savvy cat may be possible with slow introductions and thoughtful management, but a pet-free home would offer the most straightforward fit. Dottie Darling is not looking for a complicated life. She would like her people nearby, the temperature comfortable, a squeaky toy available upon request and a couch with enough room for one very spotted snuggler. In return, she will provide affection, personality, excellent lounging companionship and regular reminders that being a senior does not mean you have to stop being silly.

Ghost is sponsored by River & Ben.Hi, I’m Ghost!I’m a pit bull–Dalmatian mix, which basically means I’m a marshmallow with feelings. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but once I learn to trust you, my fun and excitable personality really comes out. Personal space will become a thing of the past once I know you’re safe!I like to use my voice when I’m stressed and would do best as the only dog in a home or with a calm dog (I tend to mirror the feelings of those around me). The shelter can feel pretty overwhelming for me — all that barking and constant activity amps me up and makes it hard for me to show my true, snuggly self. Because of this kennel stress, I’m not always able to show potential adopters just how loving and sweet I really am.My humans here at the shelter are open to a foster-to-adopt situation so I can decompress outside of the shelter and show you who I truly am in a home environment. Once I’m out of the chaos, my cuddly, loyal personality really shines.Apartment life isn’t really my style — I’d love a home with a fenced backyard where I can feel safe, happy, and get my energy out with zoomies. With a little patience and understanding, I promise to be the most devoted and loving companion. Due to my size, energy level and excitability, I would do best in an adult-only home or home with older, calm children (12 and older). If you are interested in meeting me, the shelter is open Monday through Saturday 11am – 6pm and Sunday 11am – 4pm. 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 to frontdesk@newberganimals.com.Due to COVID-19, we are currently only open by appointment. Please follow the instructions on each pet profile.

Meet Betsy Blue, the wiggly, talkative, piglet-sounding sweetheart you didn’t know you needed in your life. Betsy is about two years old, and while we can’t be certain since she’s a rescue, our best guess is that she’s a Catahoula Leopard Dog and Pittie mix. With her one blue eye and one brown eye, her soft, floppy ears, and her gorgeous coloring, she’s as stunning as she is silly. Betsy wears her heart close to her chest, and really leans into the people she knows best. However once you join her inner circle, she's the most loving and loyal pup you'll ever have. She's joyful, snorty, and downright hilarious. Her foster says she sounds like a piglet when she gets excited, and she'll greet her favorite people with the biggest smile on her face. Betsy has insurmountable, never ending affection for her humans with wags, wiggles, and the most loving gaze you could imagine. This girl has a deep love for her people. See just how loving and silly this girl can be in her video! https://youtu.be/s42gtTUfaQg?si=chzlVTRf8K1Stl5r Betsy is an active girl who loves her walks, and she’s an absolute dream on the leash. She’ll trot right beside you, checking in with sweet eye contact to make sure you’re enjoying yourself as much as she is. Back at home, she’s a toy enthusiast — her favorite playthings are actually small plush cat toys. She’ll toss them into the air, chase them around, and keep herself entertained with the tiniest of stuffies. She’s also a huge foodie, totally motivated by treats, which makes her not only fun but easy to train. Betsy is a smart girl too! She picks up new commands within a day or so, and loves to spend quality time learning with you. Betsy has lived with other dogs in her foster home and, while she can be shy and a little unsure at first, she blossoms once she feels safe. With time and patience, she turns into a playful companion who enjoys running, chasing, and being chased. Betsy is a dream cat-friendly girl. Her foster mom brings home all sorts of kitties - big social ones, shy ones, and even baby kittens! Betsy does phenomenal with them all. She can read the roam and if a cat wants to play - she's up for it! If the cat doesn't want anything to do with her - she gets that too! She has had plenty of practice in being cat-savvy and is capable of living peacefully with them. Because Betsy can be slow to open up to new people, she would do best with a family who understands the beauty of patience. She would thrive in a quieter home where she can truly decompress, gain confidence, and learn that the world isn’t such a scary place. Older kids who can respect her space and let her come around on her own terms would be a great match for her. Once she trusts you, though, Betsy bonds hard. She’ll be your devoted best friend, your walking buddy, your toy-tossing partner, and your snuggly couch companion. Betsy never fails to bring a smile to everyone she meets. She’s wiggly, silly, snorty, and incredibly loyal — the kind of dog who will make you laugh every single day while reminding you just how special the bond between a rescue and their person can be. She has been described as just so loveable! If you’re ready to give her the patience she deserves, Betsy is ready to give you her whole heart. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

🚜💚 Say hello to John Deere, better known as JD! 💚🚜 JD is a 2.5-year-old, 55-pound gentleman who is believed to be a Pit Bull Terrier/German Shorthaired Pointer mix. Of course, with rescue dogs, breed is always an educated guess! What isn’t a guess is just how devoted, affectionate, and entertaining this guy can be. JD is looking for a family to call his own and has so much companionship to offer. JD already has many of the skills that make transitioning into a new home easier. He is completely house-trained, potty-trained, and comfortable in his kennel. He behaves beautifully both in and out of his crate and is able to hang out around the house without getting into things or causing trouble. More than anything, JD simply enjoys being part of whatever his humans are doing. You might find him lounging outside in the sunshine, tagging along while chores get done, strolling around the property to visit the horses, or settling onto the couch with one of his favorite toys. He doesn’t need to be the center of attention, he’s perfectly content just being included. Toys are definitely one of JD’s favorite things! Durable Nylabone-style chews are a particular favorite, and he’ll happily bring one along when it’s time to relax on the couch. He’s also highly motivated by food, making training both productive and enjoyable. JD already knows **sit** and **shake**, accepts treats gently, and has learned to sit patiently before his meals. He enjoys having something to work toward, especially when snacks are involved! He genuinely enjoys canine company and becomes especially animated when he has a buddy to interact with. His introductions can still have a goofy, puppy-like quality, and his play style can occasionally get a little rambunctious. Give him a dog friend and you’ll quickly see just how much fun this boy likes to have! JD has also been around adult cats successfully. Kittens tend to spark more of his curiosity, so confident, grown cats would likely be the better match for him. Car rides are still somewhat new territory. JD hasn’t spent a great deal of time traveling by car and may initially feel unsure, but once he gets situated, he relaxes and likes looking out the window as everything passes by. JD could be an awesome companion for someone who likes getting outside, going for walks, exploring new places, or simply having a four-legged sidekick around for the day. Once the adventures are over, he’s just as happy trading the outdoors for a toy and a comfortable spot on the couch. With his solid house manners, playful spirit, willingness to learn, and love for both people and dogs, JD has all the makings of a wonderful companion. He’s ready for someone who wants more than just a pet—he’s looking for a best friend to follow through everyday life, from outdoor adventures and household chores to quiet evenings spent together. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a721789d58bcad73203c0a7 Questions?

Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
