Story
Meet Lewis! Lewis is a handsome Lab mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for the outdoors. This energetic boy is happiest when he has plenty of room to run, play, and explore. A large fenced yard would be his dream, since he’s strong on the leash and would much rather romp freely than go on structured walks.Lewis has a playful spirit and plenty of energy, making him a great match for someone looking for a buddy to play soccer with. (He loves kicking around his big jolly ball!) He would do best in a home without other pets as he tends to bully other dogs and chase cats, but does great with children.With his enthusiasm for life and love of the outdoors, Lewis is ready to find a family who will give him the space and playtime he craves. If you’ve got room in your yard (and your heart), Lewis would love to be your new adventure buddy. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143&#226&#156&#133 Neutered&#226&#156&#133 Vaccinated&#226&#156&#133 Microchipped&#226&#156&#133 Treated for fleas and worms Interested in meeting Lewis?Please email: adoption@columbiahumane.org for an application.Adoption Fee: $250For more information call 503-397-4353 or email adoption@columbiahumane.orgOctober 2, 2025, 7:11 am

Story
Meet Riata – Your New Best Friend!Riata is a beautiful brown female Idaho Shag, a unique and clever mix of Airedale Terrier, Border Collie, and Australian Shepherd. Originally trained as a livestock dog, Riata made it clear she prefers the comforts of indoor living—soft beds, human companionship, and a peaceful routine are much more her style.This sweet girl absolutely shines with people. She’s gentle, affectionate, and wonderful with kids, making her a fantastic companion for a family looking for a loyal, people-oriented dog. She loves attention, learns quickly, and bonds deeply with her humans.Riata does have a few quirks: she finds cats way too exciting to resist chasing, and she can be uncomfortable around other dogs when she’s scared or nervous. Because of that, she’ll do best as the only pet in a calm, understanding home where she can feel safe and settled.If you’re looking for a smart, devoted, indoor-loving companion who will adore you endlessly, Riata might be the perfect match. Come meet this special girl and see why she steals everyone’s heart!What her adoption fee covers:&#226&#156&#133 Spay&#226&#156&#133 Vaccines&#226&#156&#133 Microchip&#226&#156&#133 Treated for fleas and worms Interested in meeting Riata?Please email: adoption@columbiahumane.org for an application.Adoption Fee: $350For more information call 503-397-4353 or email adoption@columbiahumane.orgDecember 5, 2025, 6:35 am

Story
THIS IS A COURTESY POST Meet Dobby – 3-Year-Old German Shorthaired Pointer Dobby is a 3-year-old, neutered German Shorthaired Pointer who weighs about 75 pounds and stands around 24 inches tall. He’s a big, strong, and active boy who would thrive with an experienced owner familiar with the needs and energy of this athletic breed. Dobby currently lives with another male GSP and does well with him, but he is not suited for a home with children. He has not been around livestock, so his behavior with them is unknown. He would do best in a home with plenty of space to run and an owner who can provide structure, training, and lots of exercise. With the right person, Dobby has the potential to be an amazing and loyal companion. If you’re interested in meeting Dobby, please email dangerdavid3000@gmail.com  for more information.October 8, 2025, 12:35 pm

Story
THIS IS A COURTESY POST! PLEASE DO NOT SHOW UP AT THE SHELTER TO MEET HIM. HE IS NOT AT THE SHELTER   MEET Apollo  also responds to Paul. How cuuute.    Apollo is a good young boy.  His only fault is his energy... his family sort of ended up with him. They feel bad. But they have realized he deserves more than they can give. He is destructive in home when not properly excercised, and hes a jumper, they have a kid and hes too much with the kid. They have tried to work with him, but have realized that they are not the right fit. All of this is fixable and trainable with the right person or family. Hes just young and needs consistency and training    Here's what they answered to my questions:    "Apollo nickname Paul (he responds to both)  Kind of Leash Trained (we dont walk him as much as he needs) Crate Trained No allergies that we know of Hes ok in the car, sometimes throws up He is ok alone in a crate if nothing is around him but he did eat the rug/plastic at the bottom of the crate Recall only when said a couple times but not in a open space maybe like a backyard No idea about cats or dogs ( except his sibling dog he is fine with) We got him from one of my husband friends, he is half lab half heeler   And no rehoming fee we just want him to go to a really good home."    He is 1.5 yrs old. Black Lab/ Heeler. Neutered. And UTD on shots.   November 1, 2025, 1:27 pm

Story
Meet Our Lovely Lucy! This sweet Lab lady is full of love and ready to find her forever home! She’s wonderful with people—including kids—and has the classic Lab personality: friendly, playful, and always eager for a snack (she’s very food motivated!). One of her favorite activities is playing in the water, so she’d be thrilled to join you for splashy adventures.She does best with mellow dogs who respect her space and should not be placed in a home with cats or chickens. Because she’s been an escape artist in the past, she’ll need a secure backyard to keep her safe while she enjoys outdoor time.With her affectionate nature, playful spirit, and love for people, this beautiful Lab will make a wonderful companion for a family that can keep her safe and give her the love she deserves. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143&#226&#156&#133 Spayed&#226&#156&#133 Vaccinated&#226&#156&#133 Microchipped&#226&#156&#133 Treated for fleas and worms Interested in meeting Lucy?Please email: adoption@columbiahumane.org for an application.Adoption Fee: $250For more information call 503-397-4353 or email adoption@columbiahumane.orgNovember 26, 2025, 6:14 am
