Dogo Argentino puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

7.5 months old, adopted her at 3 months. Found abandoned in a park, brought to a neighbor, who put her up on NextDoor and five hours later she came home with me! She is the sweetest, silliest, FUNNIEST girl -- probably 5 of 7 days a week, I end up with either my face or abs sore from laughing. She needs new people because she has turned out to be a high-energy girl. Based on her appearance and vibe, neighbor lady and I were thinking pitty/labby. I've had both and known several others well, but it soon became clear that we were working with something else. Cue the DNA test: 42% boxer, 38% pit, 13% Staffy, 7% supermutt. I am now having a significant and debilitating health issue, single/live alone, and am just not able to give her as much exercise and interaction as she needs. We have given it our all, she's just not happy, and it breaks my heart. She needs 2+ people -- solo person having sick/off days really affects her. She will absolutely THRIVE with more people/activity.

We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Teeka, a 1 year 7 month old spayed female, Boxer mix, 42lbs. She is in a foster home in Houston, TX and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is lined up! The amazing Teeka is on the hunt for her forever home. She specializes in best friending with an emphasis on playing! She currently lives with several larger dogs and is learning to respect their boundaries. She LOVES to play with them, but does need some help realizing when her foster siblings are ready to stop. She has not met any cats, so we’re not sure how she’d react to a feline sibling. Her foster mom says she’s done well meeting new human friends and is learning not to jump on them. Because of this and her high energy levels, we do recommend a home with older dog savvy kids. This smartie is house and crate trained! She sleeps quietly in her crate and is kenneled whenever her foster family is out of the house. We don’t recommend leaving her out unsupervised as she may help herself to whatever she finds in the kitchen. Teeka’s love for food is next level and she will try to sneak a bite from you or the other dog’s bowls, but has shown no signs of resource guarding. She is still working on her leash manners, but is getting better every day! She gets a little too excited when she sees other dogs, but is learning to calm down and continue on her walk. This happy girl absolutely loves toys! She knows where the toy basket is and will get one so you can join in the fun. She’s a huge fan of fetch and tug of war! Teeka is learning the joys of relaxing too. She loves to lay on your legs and get some pets and give some kisses. She’s happy just to be near her humans. Teeka is a young pup with boundless energy that will thrive in a home with a yard, daily exercise, training and patience. She’s a goofy, happy, loving girl and with just one look into those pretty doe eyes, your heart will melt! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?

Ann Marie is really too distinguished of a name for someone who wiggles and snorts the way this girl does. Ann Marie is a (unofficial) Certified 1st Place Snuggler. She hasn’t shown anyone the ribbon but she will show you how she secured the title, all you have to do is sit down somewhere, she will seek you. Take a look at this sweet lady here then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/tVMnFCPCWe0 When she isn’t putting the snuggle moves on you she can usually be found rolling around on her back like it’s her very own happy dance, or snoozing away in her dog bed. Ann Marie is estimated to be 7-8 years old, possibly a boxer/ pittie mix, and she weighs 50 lbs. Of course, given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or birthday. This girl knows a thing or two because she has seen a thing or two, she has earned her opinions. For example,, people are awesome, other dogs are just meh. It's similar to a feeling I see plenty of people develop as we get older… other adults-meh, dogs- heck yes! So don’t fault her, she can be polite and coexist but where she really wants to be is with the people. She’s great with kids, her foster’s 12-year-old daughter is her best-snuggle -buddy and she’s done well with other dogs when introductions are slow and respectful. Anne Marie is confident and prefers low-energy, chill, canine companions, ideally a calm male who respects the fact that she is slow to warm up, or she would be just as happy soaking up the spotlight as your one-and-only. High-energy dogs or pushy playmates are not for her. Anne Marie isn’t needy, but she thrives on your presence. She’s house-trained, non-destructive, rides well in the car, and has an easy, leisurely pace on leash. She doesn’t need long walks, just short strolls, lots of love, and plenty of couch time. Can we say low-maintenance together? Low-maintenance. That’s the best way to describe her. While she’s lived around cats before, she can get too interested in chasing a playful cat, so a cat-free home would be best. Anne Marie would be a wonderful companion for someone who wants a loving, affectionate, mellow best friend. She’s ready to spend her golden years giving all her love-and she has so much of it to give. Come home to the most delightful dog with her happy wiggle-butt and piggy-snorts and watch your worries disappear. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
