Greyhound puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

Milo is six years old, sweet as can be, and just quirky enough to keep life interesting. He absolutely loves his people, and when someone he loves walks into the room, Milo doesn’t exactly play it cool. Expect happy hops, excitement, and one very enthusiastic greeting committee. Don't believe us? Check it ou! And then there’s the butt-scratch dance. Give Milo a good scratch and he’ll start wiggling and dancing around like you’ve just activated his favorite setting. It’s ridiculous, hilarious, and one of those little Milo things that will make you laugh every single time. Milo loves affection and enjoys meeting new people, but he also has a wonderfully independent side. He’s perfectly content exploring the yard, following interesting smells, and investigating whatever his nose tells him requires immediate attention. We wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a little hound somewhere in his family tree because this boy loves to sniff! He’s also a big fan of enrichment. Wrap some treats inside a blanket and Milo is ready to get to work. He enjoys toys, likes nibbling on his stuffies, and is especially fond of Benebones. Despite his playful moments, Milo is generally a calmer guy who is happy having his own space to relax. In his foster home, he even has his own room where he can be trusted without destroying or chewing things he shouldn’t. Milo has done great with the other dogs in his foster home. He enjoys playing with them and has responded well when another dog lets him know he’s getting a little too excited. He’s learning how to read those boundaries and has shown that he can take correction well. He’s also a smart boy who has made great progress with his manners. Milo has learned “sit” and “wait,” and he knows he’s supposed to wait at doors and for his food until he’s released. Now, will he occasionally see whether you’re actually going to make him follow those rules? Absolutely. Milo appreciates a household with management. His adventurous side does mean his future family needs to take security seriously. Milo can jump baby gates, has figured out how to open doors, and will take advantage of an unsecured yard if given the opportunity. He isn’t a dog who should be left outside unattended, and his forever home will need a secure yard and doors. Milo is fully potty trained and will even let you know he needs to go outside by crying. He can also do well in a crate once he has settled into his environment, although he needs a sturdy, heavy-duty crate rather than a wire or travel crate. He may cry initially while adjusting. His leash skills are still a work in progress. Milo understands walking on leash, but when that nose catches an interesting smell or he spots something he wants to investigate, enthusiasm can take over. He’ll benefit from a confident handler who can continue reinforcing the leash manners he’s already learning. Milo can also be sensitive to loud noises and experiences some anxiety. New environments may take him a little time to process, and his foster has watched him slowly decompress and realize that he is safe. He has only been in his foster home for about a month, and his personality continues to come out as he becomes more comfortable. Underneath those funny quirks is an incredibly sweet dog who loves people, enjoys other dogs, is house trained, loves enrichment, and has already shown how much he can learn with consistency. Milo isn’t looking for someone who expects perfection. He’s looking for someone who can give him security, structure, patience, and plenty of butt scratches. In return, you’ll get one lovable, curious, slightly nosy, happy-dancing boy who is going to make life a whole lot more entertaining. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

WOOF! I'M SPARTA! I'm a sweet and active 2-1/2-year-old Cattle Dog mix (possibly mixed with Greyhound) in need of a forever home! I was rescued from a California shelter along with my sisters, who now have been adopted. So now it's time for me to get noticed! I am a relatively small girl - about 40-45 pounds - and would do well in a and active and quiet home with people who can take me for walks, hikes and other outings. I have done well around other dogs though would do great as an only dog, too. I'm currently in Southern California but can be transported to Oregon. Please email for an application.

MEET AJAX! Ajax is an almost 7-year-old Greyhound-Pittie-Shepherd mix, in need of a foster or forever home. Ajax is a special boy who needs a special person to work with him and help him feel secure. He is the type of dog who bonds intensely to his person, and thus any transition is a challenge (and in fact, transitioning him to you could be challenging). But once he bonds to you, he's loyal to you forever. Ajax would be a great companion for an active person who wants a mix of a couch potato and active canine pal. Physically, Ajax is a quirky boy! He's got a pittie face, shepherd ears and long legs. He loves to run and play, and he loves his toys, too. He would do well with an experienced adopter or foster who can provide him with love and attention and some basic obedience training. He was once adopted a couple years ago but returned for jumping up on the adopters. But he was loyal to them, too. And now he's older. He has done well with some dogs but would thrive as an only dog, too. He's not a fan of the vet, so needs to wear a muzzle if he goes. Ajax weighs about 57 lbs. If you can foster or adopt him, and have dog experience, please email for an application. He is currently in Southern California but can be transported to Oregon!

Interested in becoming this pup’s forever home? For immediate consideration, please fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we DO NOT go any further without an application. If there are multiple dogs that you are interested in, please fill out an application for each dog. This does not include bonded pairs — for them, one application will be fine. Because we have different adoption coordinators working with different dogs, your application may be missed if you only apply once. Find more adoptable pets, news, and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws. We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions finding our fur babies the most loving homes. Please do not apply if you are not serious about adopting. We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and Emmett the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us. Our adoption fee is $525. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age-appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention, and travel expenses. All our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for their transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed.

Have you ever wanted a Velcro dog that looks like Dobby the house elf and loves only you!? I am looking for help finding a new home for our sweet rescue dog Oats. Oats is a 13 lb, 10 month chihuahua/terrier mix (possibly Italian. Greyhound) who experienced severe trauma before he came to us. He was found during a well check as his owner had passed away in the home. He was found starving and stuck under a dryer. Despite this challenging beginning he is a WONDERFUL and deeply loving dog that is trying so hard to be good. I am looking for someone with a quiet consistent home and schedule (no young kids, possibly no dogs) who wants a ride or die companion/soul dog who loves to snuggle and will be your shadow/bestie. The full picture: -Oats is reactive to new people and dogs. -Oats needs help potty training and wears belly bands to prevent accidents -Oats needs an experienced owner who has worked with reactive/fearful dogs

Sweet GSD, male,5 to 6 years old Please email Veronica@bammrescuepdx.org for more information  Meet Maze A stunning approximately 80 pound German Shepherd, possibly a wolf mix. We can’t say for certain what his mix is, but we can say he is an incredibly special dog and a very rare find in rescue. He is potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, people friendly, and dog friendly. For a dog who has spent time in boarding, Maze has an impressive foundation and is very eager to learn. As with any German Shepherd, proper introductions with other dogs are important. He absolutely loves playing ball and fetch and is both treat and ball motivated, which makes training with him fun and rewarding. He is smart, attentive, engaged with his person, and genuinely enjoys interacting and working with you. Maze has a wonderful balance of confidence, playfulness, affection, and intelligence. He isn't just a beautiful dog to look at. He's the kind of dog who has the potential to become an incredible companion for someone who enjoys an intelligent, interactive dog. Treats should be given with a flat hand because this big guy doesn't always seem to know exactly where the snack ends and your fingers begin! Because of his size and enthusiasm for treats, no small children. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal so he has room to play ball and enjoy himself. We are also looking for a home where he will truly be part of the family rather than kenneled or crated for several hours every day. Maze is beautiful, social, affectionate, playful, intelligent, and eager to please. For someone looking for a large, trainable German Shepherd type dog with so many of the hard parts already behind him, Maze is an extremely rare find in rescue. ##2667034##
