Howdy! I'm Pepper, and I'm (we think) some sort of husky mix! I love playing with toys or getting scratches from my people. I am potty trained and I am also a very sweet, lovable boy! I get a long with other dogs. I currently live in Pendleton, OR but they said that they an deliver me to any kind adopter that wishes to take me near Portland and surrounding areas!

Story
Zach is a sweet and intelligent Standard Poodle looking for a loving new home. He is well-mannered and affectionate, making him a wonderful companion for the right person or family. While he doesn’t play fetch (he used to, not sure why he stopped) or engage in puzzle games, he enjoys spending time with his humans and being part of the household routine. He sits, stands, lays, and shakes on command. He loves going on walks and trips in the car. He will be 9 years old in January 2026. I can no longer take care of the dog due to my finances. In addition, I live in an apartment and he deserves to be in a home that has a yard where he can run around and with a family who can dedicate more care to him than I can.

Story
This is Doc! Doc is a very energetic German Shepard. He is just over a year old. Me and my wife have had Doc since he was about 4 months old. Doc is house trained, has had obedience training, and crate trained. We have spent quite a lot of money and time attempting to live in harmony with Doc. Our life style with a new born baby has been difficult to navigate with him. He has never been aggressive towards us and has never bit anyone. However, Doc lacks confidence which has made socializing almost impossible. Doc is very loving towards us and it breaks our hearts to be attempting to rehome him. But I know he could be a good dog/best friend to someone who has time and love for him. The bad is this, due to Doc being unconfident we have had difficulty finding friends or family that can watch him without us being there. He has growled and nipped at babysitters he is uncomfortable with. If you have the time and love for him, please contact me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx . Feel free to text or call.
