Story
Samson is the sweetest dog and a wonderful companion. He is very affectionate and loves to cuddle. He may be a couch potato at heart, but he's always up for a walk or car ride. He mostly does okay on walks, but he could benefit from someone taking the time to do more leash training with him. He does well being left alone, but if it was up to him he would be with his people every minute of the day :) After we adopted Samson from Portland Humane in January 2024, he warmed up to us right away, but unfortunately he does not get along with our cat. We have tried everything, but they are simply not a good match. Having to keep them seperated all the time is causing too much stress, so we have made the tough decision to find Samson a new home. This decision saddens our hearts, but we know that he will bring his next owner so much joy. We hope to find his forever home.

Poppy is the sweetest purebread golden doodle. We got her when she was just eight weeks old and she’s been around my four kids and other animals and has been great unfortunately with work schedule we are no longer able to give her the love and attention she needs looking for a caring, loving home for her. (She did have a hair cut at the beginning of Summer to stay cool so she does have shorter hair right now then in the photos)

Story
Hi! This is Kermit. He was adopted from the shelter last year & has been such a wonderful part of our lives.He is funny, goofy, playful & absolutely loves kids & dogs. Most of all, he loves to be outside & NEEDS a yard. We moved across the country (28 hours) into a house with a yard-specifically for him-but when we arrived, the house was full of mold :( we were able to get an apartment with short notice, luckily, but there is no yard access. He is having a really hard time in this apartment & it is not fair to him. He is the kindest dog & can be a little shy (only at first) given his previous life at the shelter. He absolutely needs a yard bc he loves to stop & smell the roses 🥹 he is a very fast learner & just wants to cuddle & play. He would love another dog to play with as well. He has a crate for night time, a Kong, chew toys, a slow feeder & a leash & collar 🫶🏻 he is very loved & we just want him to be happy.

Balu

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult
Salem, OR
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Balu is the big lazy fluffy bear of the three. He does like walks but gets tired quickly. Hes our most vocal talker, lets you know when someone new is around but lets go when its time. He like to run sometimes, and has big beautiful blue eyes. Has brand new knees in both back legs. He had surgery on his acls, but we had the best surgeon fix him up good. They like sleeping in their crates with the door closed and then we leave them roaming throughout the day and then we let them out for their potty breaks. Unfortunately, these aren’t your average Aussies with a lot of outdoor experience. They do spend a lot of time inside in the air conditioning, but to love the outside when it’s decent outside, my wife has always worried about that they would get to overheated. Just hoping to find somebody who could give them a good rest of their life that due to our family dynamics we were unable to keep themAlso, Balu is a huge drama queen 😂. We can explain that if you are interested thank you

Story
Ciao is love-bug, extremely sweet, beautiful, and a character. He loves to be next to his people or nearby, but he is not needy. He leans in and snuggles. His thick, gorgeous, rough but soft coat makes him a pleasure to pet. He has plenty of energy but is not a "spaz." He has nice energy. When I adopted him, the shelter told me he was 3. Seems about 5. He is selective with other dogs and/or needs proper introduction; despite being stuck in a crowded kennel for 71 days and no time in the yard, he had only good notes re people and his kennel mates. He's great inside dog. I adopted him minutes before euthanasia with his mother Bella. He appears to like other dogs' company, especially females and dogs his size. His first time at a dog park, shortly after adoption, he got scared when "the regulars" surrounded him and he bit another big dog. A few days later he bit a little dog on a leash when quickly approached. He has done great with calm teens and dogs. Caution recommended with children.
