Story
We adopted Dixie in November of 2022 when she was predicted to be about 10 months old. She was very skittish when we brought her home but has made tremendous progress in the last 3 years. She is very loyal and has lots of energy. To our knowledge, she has not been around cats yet. Dixie does well with children, however, she likes to play with lots of energy and is not the most spatial aware. She will flea bite on occasion when we are playing with her, but she has never done it to kids. She also does well with other dogs. Dixie would be best suited for somebody with a very active lifestyle, she does get a little carsick, but loves to go on adventures. A few months ago her feet were getting very irritated and she was losing some toenails. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune issue and recommended daily vitamins that will help her nail health.

Story
Dogs name is Olaf. a year and half. Hes about 60-70lbs and has a lot of energy with severe anxiety from his previous owners. He was adopted from a shelter a year ago. He doesnt like shouting or aggressiveness for making mistakes. He currently takes trazodone to help keep him calm, he loves treats and doing puzzles for treats. He is housetrain but does make accidents from time to time. He is crate train but not for long periods of time. He hates vacuums and really anything loud. He loves to go on walks and exercising, but he needs to be walked with a special leash to control him when he sees others. He may sound like a lot but when he gets to know you, he’s a sweet boy, loves to cuddle and relax with you when he warms up to you. Looking for someone that can match his energy and understand he means well and just wants to be loved. He seems okay around other dogs but isnt a fan around strangers.

Story
We got him from a family friend. Born 10-02-2023. He needs someone who has time to play and walk around with him, he loves to cuddle and is very patient when getting bathed (as long as the water is warm). He’ll eat all day if you let him and is smart with interactive toys/meals. He knows how to sit, shake, wait and when given a bowl of food will wait till someone says bon appetite or motions with their hand to go ahead. He enjoys bully sticks and frozen treats/meals. Doesn't have too much experience on a leash and doesn't like getting his ears cleaned or nails trimmed. He’s never shown any signs of aggression. Never had any accidents indoors and is kennel trained.

Story
Bocce is a terrific little dog in the making. He came to us as the last of a group of small dogs dumped in an orchard in California last November 2025. Since then he had been living in an outside kennel. Bocce has been fostered with our Director since January 31st and is truly embracing the comforts of indoor living! - 18 pounds and approximately 2 years old - Regal, distinguished Chihuahua mix who prefers a calm home. - Adores women! Bocce would like a female adopter as the main character. He follows his foster mom everywhere she goes with his loyal little spirit. He readily takes treats from his foster dad and is neutral to him. No barking or aggression. He just doesn't show the same level of enthusiasm for men that he does for women. Bonds quickly with women. - Neutral with other dogs. Bocce is fostered with three large dogs and does well with them. He hasn't been playful with them yet but it's been less than a week so we think he will get there. He does follow their lead though. We think Bocce could do well as an only dog or in a home with other dogs that aren't big and rambunctious. He prefers dogs that aren't in his face and pushy with him. - Good with cats. He is fostered with two kitties and is polite around them. - No kids please. Bocce startles and will also bolt if he is scared. We would worry a child might open a door or gate and set Bocce free. He needs safe containment and management around open doors. - Potty habits are going well. No pee accidents in the home. He has had a few poop accidents because he goes potty almost immediately after eating his meals so he needs to be let out promptly after he's finished eating. He holds his potty all though the night with no accidents. He also holds his potty in the crate with no accidents in the crate. He reliably goes potty when you take him out. - Does well in the crate and has been crated for up to 5 hours at a time - Enjoys sleeping out on a dog bed in his foster mom's bedroom at night. Good sleeper and doesn't disrupt the human's sleep. - Likes to be pet but hasn't quite figured out how to solicit pets from the humans. So when you pet him he kinda freezes but then relaxes and closes his eyes from bliss as you pet his head and body. He does enjoy petting and can be picked up. QUIRKS: - Bocce can scale chain link fences. However, he only tries to escape the first week as he's settling into a new home. After a few days in his new home, he settles in pretty readily and no longer looks to escape. He will just need to be on a long line leash for at least the first few days in his new home to help keep him safe and secure. - Shy. Bocce bonds strongly with his person and is reserved with new people. So he may not seem enthusiastic to meet you at a visit but we promise he WILL bond with you usually within the first 48 hours if you give him some grace and patience to get his bearings in a new home. - Bocce is super food motivated which means he may try to swipe food from the table or kitchen counter. He has tried it 3 times in the first week in foster. Correcting him when caught in the act has helped and he's realizing that putting paws on a dinner table or kitchen counter is not appropriate. It is not a persistent act. It's more like he may try it once or twice and then gets the message that it's not ok. Bocce is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, dewormed and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee also includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Milwaukie, Portland or Tualatin. $250 adoption fee Fostered in Oregon City, Oregon APPLY TO ADOPT BOCCE ON OUR WEBSITE: WWW.AGAVEDOGS.ORG

Story
This is my sweet sweet pretty girl Lalu, my heart aches as I write this because I truly love her. She is a funny dog with lots of personality, she loves walks, cuddles, and whining. Just like any other German Shepard she is a very active dog and is very loyal, she’ll cry whenever I leave her side. So I would love for her to go to someone active and caring. She is such a great dog, but she deserves a life better than the one that I am giving her. And I will no longer be able to care for her, as I am soon moving to another state. I pray that a kind soul can adopt her before i move.

Story
Bubbles is AMAZING! He loves his people, is an expert snuggler, is a DREAM on the leash, AND can be groomed with clippers by novices without restraint?! Ok, ok, so he isn’t perfect. It would not be fair to the rest of the dogs if he were. His flaws: He loves his people. And hates being kennelled away from them. Also, he’s got a minor incontinence issue, where he dribbles a bit of urine sometimes. He is otherwise house-trained and doesn’t mind wearing his belly bands. In December 2025, Bubbles suffered a back injury and developed some issues related to it, but has been healing well at POOCH. We cannot guarantee that this urine dribbling will be a symptom that goes away, so we figured it would be best to assume it will be a chronic concern. As he is now past injury restrictions and still has a few moments of dribbling, we believe this is something he will have for the length of his life. We also recommend that care be taken to prevent future injury (use stairs for the couch, avoid large jumps, and support with lifting when needed). His dribbling urine is more frequent after he has been holding his bladder. Beyond that, he is an excellent little guy. He rides well in the car and loves to be your co-pilot. We have taken him with us on a few errands, and he is happy to ride shotgun and enjoy the breeze. He sits politely while we groom him, and we are most definitely novices. He prefers clippers to scissors (what man doesn’t have his preferences), but allows everywhere to be clipped, including his head, ears, and muzzle. He has been around many other dogs and can play or just hang out politely. He is a vocal player, both with other dogs and when he is entertaining himself.
