Story
Willa is about 2-years old and was abandoned in our Gresham neighborhood in Sept. 2024. Neighbors took care of her hoping that her owner would come back, but when we were about to call animal services, I volunteered to temporarily take her in. I'm a retiree with 2 old adopted/rescue dogs, and Willa transitioned easily into our quiet home. She started out shy but quickly showed everyone her athleticism, keen intelligence, and spirited energy. She tries to get the older male lab to play with her, but now her favorite thing is going to the dog park where she gets to play with other young pups like her, and she's learning about doggie hierarchy. I think Willa will do best in a home where she can get one-on-one attention from someone who is experienced with training dogs and has an active lifestyle.

Story
Hello, Kobe was a police academy dog who got let go because he was too nice as a puppy:) he is very well trained! We adopted him when he was around 3yrs old because his owner wanted to ditch him and we did not want him abandoned. Now, after having him for around 2 years, we are having to downsize our home and are sadly unable to take him with us. He is genuinely incredible with humans, but he does have an aversion to other dogs and we do not know why that is, it is just how he has been seen we met him. Kobe is so gentle with people will walk around your feet careful just to make sure he does not accidentally step on your toes and has never shown any aggression to humans. He has never bitten anyone or any other dog, and loves children. If you have a family and do not have any dogs, Kobe would make an amazing addition to your family! He is well mannered, does not jump and is house trained.

Story
Hello, I have adopted countless dogs over the years, and will again, but I've run into a situation with a newly adopted dog, Merry (I've had her about 9 months) that I cannot fix. She has fought my other female dog 2X now. Decades ago, I had this same situation and had no choice but to find a new home for one of the females. This is a phenomenon with females only, as i understand. Can you help me? She's a very loving, healthy, animated, energetic sweet dog otherwise; truly fun to have around. Merry is beautiful, young (maybe 3 or 4?), some shepherd, hound, other mix- tricolor, shiny and statuesque with big, stand-up ears and piercing eyes. She has eaten a very high-quality diet while with me. Some pics attached. No issue 99% of the time but don't want to risk more injuries to my other female. Merry can be in a household with any male dogs. It seems she is fine with cats also, as she peacefully watches neighbor's cats but I don't have any.

Story
Donavan is a hyperactive dog. He’s not terrible with other dogs, but he definitely isn’t the best. Maverick is better with other dogs. Don is all talk, he acts like he’s big and mean but he really wouldn’t hurt a fly. He uses his voice to make himself feel like the dominant one when really he is a very scared dog. Donavan’s favorite thing to do is play ball. Mav is more calm and quiet. They both listen very well when they have e collar on. They both will chase, especially if they see another dog, so having his e collar on has helped me control them. I want to find Maverick and Don a good home with no kids or other animals. Someone who is experienced with big dogs and who can devote a lot of their time to them. Having 2 kids now has made it very challenging for us and we are relocating to Florida come summer time. We love our dogs very much but if we can find them a loving home who can devote more Time to them, we will Make that sacrifice.
