Story

7yr old tan M/N shepherd mix Foster notes: Noble is a sensitive guy and he seems to be more comfortable around women than men for now. He loves being near his person & follows me all day around the house. He may resource guard his bed. He bit my husband the first week we had him when he tried to pet him when he was on his bed. I have since kept him apart from my husband and he has not shown any signs of aggression for a while and he has even wagged his tail at my husband. I would still err on the side of caution with new people and men with his bed. Any iffy situation I have him leashed and muzzled or on the other side of a baby gate. When people come over or in crowded places I let him wear a comfortable muzzle. It makes me more comfortable and it keeps him out of trouble. He has walked in very crowded places in close quarters wearing a muzzle and has not shown any signs of aggression. I feel that if there is any aggression it could be territorial or fearful aggression because I have only seen him do it at home. I don’t know how he is around children but I think it would be a safer bet to say no kids. He is potty trained. He is good with other dogs with a proper introduction. I have two pit bulls and a chihuahua and he hangs out with them all day long. He is obsessed with playing fetch. He will drop the ball in front of you while you are cooking dinner. Once he thinks you are his person, you could not find a more loyal and loving campanion. He has decompressed a lot in the short time he has lived with me and he will be even better with time in a loving and patient home. His ideal owner would be someone who is willing to take it slow with him and let him open up on his own terms, someone with a lot of dog experience, who is home a lot, a woman. Also he came to me with itchy skin and I have been giving him fresh food and it has cleared everything up. So a dream home would provide that for him too otherwise I think he might have allergies. Also Noble is very athletic. If someone wants a jogging partner, he would be up for it. ##2632401##

Story

BEST WAY TO INQUIRE, EMAIL CONTACT@BAMMRESCUEPDX.ORG Pat is a F blk/wht pit bull foster notes: Pat is a blue-nose pit and approximately 2 years old. When she feels safe she shows her loving, silly, and playful side. Pat loves to play with squeaky toys, go on walks, and eat chicken. Pat can be very affectionate and loves to cuddle on the couch. Pat’s ideal home is a healthy balance of outdoor and homebody activities. Although Pat does have the capacity to be friendly, she does have reservations: Pat is fearful of strangers walking towards her especially if they’re making movements with their arms. Pat can also be fearful of other dogs that stare at her and my react with barking and lunging. It’s clear that Pat has had a rough start to life but in the right home she will thrive. Pat is potty trained, walks well on leash, and does well in car rides. Pat is learning commands such as sit and wait. She loves bananas Pat would do best in a home that has experience with rescues and has the patience to work with her. Pat would do best as the single pet in the home but may be okay with other dogs with a slow introduction. Foster-Mom notes: •Personality/Temperament: Pat listens to me really well—I have built a strong rapport with her so it’s not difficult for me to clean her paws, brush her teeth, moisturize her paws etc. And she has never snapped at me when I’ve done these things. The only thing is when I first got her she was slightly fearful of her harness and collar but she’s now completely fine with it especially since I’ve shown her we can take it off. I think whoever adopts Pat wouldn’t have issue with this either so long as there is a strong loving foundation. Pat loves jumping in bushes and prefers to go to the bathroom behind the bush Pat sometimes gets the zoomies when she poops or pees so something to be mindful of When Pat is anxious she bites at her nails and paw pads so I make sure that she has toys so she can redirect that to something else •Medical Appointments: She was reactive when she went to the vet but my vet is very patient with her and worked around it. I brought her with a muzzle on. Trazodone also has been a big help specifically when I took her to get spayed. •Social Engagement: Pat loves my youngest dog Koko but does not like Sugar. The latter is because Sugar smelled food that Pat had and wanted it and this made Pat distrustful of Sugar. Sugar is also my oldest living dog so I think there’s a level of respect Sugar feels like she should be getting. When Pat is hungry and smells chicken or that I’m cooking she will “awroo” at me (not a bark but not a cry) and Sugar doesn’t like that so she’ll bark at Pat. Pat also seems to be more fearful of men but with patience she can overcome it (eg, she was reactive when she first met my dad but now she loves him and follows him around the house when we visit ##2576226##

Story

BEST WAY TO INQUIRE, EMAIL Adoptions@BAMMRESCUEPDX.ORG Chief is a chubby, “grumpy old man” in the most heartbreaking way. He mostly lays on his blanket, conserving his energy. He gives big, raspy borks sometimes, but it feels more like a warning to the world that he’s tired and unsure. He walks well on leash. He isn’t overly affectionate but he loves food. Treats are his joy. He’ll catch them mid-air with impressive accuracy, and when offered a can of wet food, he allowed full handling without hesitation… then inhaled it like a man who’s learned food isn’t always guaranteed. Chief feels like a dog who is missing his person, the only constant he’s known, even if that life wasn’t perfect. Seniors feel loss deeply and shelters are especially cruel places for them.Chief did not test well with other dogs and may need to be the only pet. When tested, he showed clear discomfort and escalation when another dog got close. He needs a quiet, adult-only home, or a hospice foster, where he can rest, eat well, and feel safe for whatever time he has left. However he was found in 2021 with another dog in a hotel room so there may be potential outside of the shelter environment. What we do know is Chief does not deserve to die scared in a kennel ##2617110##
