Story
Here's what you need to know about me:I'm easy going. Wanna go for a calm walk and smell the roses? Sounds great! Just want to hang out in the yard? No problem. Looking to relax on the couch? I can do that! I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I appreciate a slow introduction to other dogs, I just want to make sure we all get along.I need a home without any cats, chickens, or other small animals. I chase them and it's not safe for me to share my home or space with them. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 64.2 Age: 6yrs 0mths 1wks

Marty is a 1 year old GSD. He's an energetic dog that needs room to run, more than what I can provide. He came from a breeder last year from a "surprise" litter. He's well cared for, and has a straight back with really good hips.

Story
COURTESY POST: This dog is not currently with Stumptown Strays. She is in need of a new home and here is what her person says about her: "Meet Pie, a 1.75 year old German Shepherd mix looking for her (human) other half. Pie is human-esque, bright, loyal, affectionate, and TRULY a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog. Her Portland-based cult following says it all. Charisma MACHINE. Pie first came to Portland after being hit by a car and having a plate installed in her leg. Despite the medical trauma, she LOVES the vet. Appointment times do not apply to Pie; she would prefer to be waved straight into the back to hang out with her pals. I mention this specifically because it tells you everything about the kind of dog Pie is; resilient and determined to enjoy life, no matter the odds. We adopted Pie six months ago and have gotten to see her blossom. The joy she exudes is unmatched. She is, quite literally, the smartest dog we have ever met. Soon, she will be able to search things out using her nose! She loves to participate in everything you do, whether that be baking, putting away groceries, or gardening. She does great in a car, can walk on a leash, and with a bit of training, she will be the dog you can take with you on any adventure. When life gets loud, Pie will often request alone time and wants us to put on her favorite show, Bob’s Burgers (her favorite character is Louise if that tells you anything about her). As much as we love her, Pie has decided that it’s time to find a home where she is the only pet. She loves to play with other dogs, but it seems like they’re not ideal housemates for her. Pie is looking for her other half. She doesn’t need perfection in a home, she just needs her person. A Bob's Burgers loving, semi-active human who will love her back with the same intensity she would love you with." If you are interested in meeting Pie, please either send us a message through PetFinder or email info@stumptownstrays.org! There is no adoption fee for Pie. Due to her injury, Pie does need to stay on chronic pain medication and she does best while also on Prozac for her anxiety.

Elsa’s favorite time is breakfast time! She will do her dance in her excitement. She makes a wonderful companion. Elsa is looking for a home that: • Has time for play time and hanging out. • Is ready to continue training a young dog. • Has a backyard for playtime.

Story
This is Nelly or RiNela if you want to call her by her legal name. She came to us through a foster program and she has been a wonderful companion. She is loyal, kind, gentle, and adventurous. She loves going on hikes but she is equally happy cuddling up to us in bed. She takes to training very well and is housebroken, knows to sit, heel on the leash, lay down, where her bed is, and how to be gentle with kids. She has lived with us an our cats for a little over a year. She gets along ok with the cats although she does like to chase and play with them. One of our cats is ok with it the other not so much.Which brings us to why were putting her up for adoption. Myself and my partner are both pursuing changes in our careers and we dont have the time that we used to have. Because of this we no longer have the ability to let out her energy and keep up with her training which is a very important part of keeping a GSD. She will come with all the things you need to get started. Thanks

These pups are in Vancouver, Washington too!

Story
We’ve had Lou since she was 3 months old. We adopted her from a shelter in Moab, Utah and she has been a great dog. She is mild-mannered and affectionate with her people. She is obedient and has never chewed any shoes or furniture, and is potty-trained. She responds well to commands, and is her best self off leash getting to roam trails, always coming back when called. She’d be a great companion if you like hiking and backpacking. We’ve taken her to the dog park 2-3x a week since she was a pup. She is friendly with other dogs. Always done well in boarding and staying with families with other dogs. We love her, but being a young family on the move, bringing her along is now too difficult for us. The right new home for Lou would be one where she has a yard to roam, and a loving family to provide stability for her to be her normal sweet self.
