Maltipoo puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

Meet Chino! Chino is a 5-year-old Maltese looking for a calm, patient home where he can be someone’s one and only. This little guy is learning what it means to be loved and cherished — and while he may be shy at first, once you earn his trust, he’ll give you his whole heart. Watch his video here and come back to read more about him! https://youtu.be/7dnuzhZ3kR4 Chino is still getting used to affection, so he needs someone who understands that trust takes time. He would thrive with a single person or older adult who has prior dog experience and can offer consistency, quiet, and love. Once he feels safe, he’ll be your faithful lap dog — content just being near you. He walks well on a leash, is treat-motivated (especially when cheese is involved!), and is working hard to be on his best behavior to earn your affection. Chino lives in a home with small dogs like him and BIG dogs too. He is a not playful with any of his foster dog brothers. He prefers to lay in bed with his person and lap up all the affection and love. When his foster dad comes home he runs up to his leg and paws for attention. If you have a soft heart, a patient spirit, and an open lap, Chino may just be the loyal companion you’ve been waiting for.

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!    Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.   Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.    The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.   It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:   Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family  Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions  70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer  Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!   Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye.

This friendly little gentleman is looking for a loving family and a comfortable home where he can enjoy the next chapter of his life. Snoopy is friendly with other dogs and good with children. His compatibility with cats is currently unknown. At eight years old, Snoopy has the wonderful qualities that often come with a mature dog. He's past the demanding puppy stage, but he still needs companionship, exercise, enrichment, and opportunities to enjoy life with his people. Poodles are known for being intelligent, affectionate, people-oriented, and highly trainable. They often develop strong bonds with their families and enjoy being included in daily activities. Snoopy may be just as happy joining his family for a neighborhood walk as he is settling in nearby for some quiet time together. His future family should provide: Plenty of love and companionship Daily walks and appropriate exercise Mental stimulation and enrichment Positive-reinforcement training Regular grooming and brushing Consistent household routines Comfortable places to rest Continued veterinary care A safe indoor home A lifelong commitment Poodle coats require regular grooming and maintenance to prevent painful mats and keep the skin and coat healthy. His adopter should be prepared for routine brushing and professional grooming throughout his life. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Even though Snoopy is eight years old, moving into a new home is still a major transition. He should be given time to become comfortable with his new people, surroundings, and routine. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, and even dogs who previously had good household manners may need reminders after a major change. His family should be prepared to reinforce: House training as needed Leash manners Basic commands Household boundaries Calm and consistent routines Comfortable handling and grooming Positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency will help Snoopy understand what is expected of him while building trust with his new family. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand his new household routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home Snoopy shouldn't be rushed. Give him the opportunity to settle in at his own pace and discover that his new home is a safe place where he belongs. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Snoopy is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. At eight years old, he's entering his senior years, making preventative veterinary care increasingly important. His future family should work with their veterinarian to establish an appropriate wellness plan for him. His ongoing care should include: Regular veterinary wellness examinations Senior wellness exams and bloodwork as recommended Recommended vaccinations and boosters Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Routine dental examinations and dental care Quality nutrition and healthy weight management Daily exercise appropriate for his age Regular professional grooming and brushing Nail and ear care Monitoring for changes in mobility, vision, hearing, appetite, or behavior Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs A safe and comfortable indoor home Older dogs can still have many wonderful years ahead of them. Keeping Snoopy active, lean, mentally engaged, and medically well cared for will help him enjoy those years to the fullest.
