Whippet puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

Say hello to Dory! This girl is sweet and petite and ready for adventure! I can see her being a dream hiking buddy or you new favorite running buddy thanks to her eager to please nature, wonderful leash skills, and ability to keep up with your pace. Take a look then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/M1G0h4RbyhI Dory is a total people dog. She listens well, even to a 4 year old, takes treats with a soft mouth, and happily welcomes anyone stopping by. She is fostered in a loving home and her foster shared that she often gets to join her in the office and she is a great addition. When she isn’t greeting new people with a paw and a tail wag, she is sprawled out on the floor taking a nap. She’s proven herself in all sorts of situations: she’s great in crowded rooms, rides like a pro in the car, and even keeps her cool when dogs around her are barking up a storm. Estimated to be 1.5 years old, Dory weighs 34 lbs and looks like she may be a whippet/pittie mix. Keep in mind though, given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee age or breed. Either way, Dory is one-of-a-kind and a dreamy, small/medium size, athletic, adoring bestie. Dory is fostered in a multiplet household and gets along well all around. She is more of a companion dog than a playmate with her dog friends. When we introduced her to new dogs she was polite and was happy to peacefully coexist with them. She enjoyed meeting each and every dog whether it was an on-leash greeting or a new friend that was dropped into the yard. She’s shown she can peacefully coexist with other dogs and enjoys meeting new furry friends. We also introduced her to our house cat and she was cautious and polite with him. At one point, our spicy kitty practically attacked Dory and she took it so well. Although she was shocked, she simply turned away and into the nearest person, almost like she was saying “save me!” We can see her being a wonderful family dog living the suburban dream or a city girl living the apartment life. She was so gentle and calm with the 4 year old she spent the afternoon with and we were impressed by how well she matched his energy. A yard would be great but with regular exercise and enrichment, Dory could be an apartment girlie as well. These are the best dogs- versatile and adaptable! If you’re looking for an adventure buddy or a new member for run-club, Dory is ready to put love into the miles and promises not to take up too much space on the couch. If Dory is your girl apply today! Adoption application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/682b7c3cb28ba6c7b40199dc Questions?

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.

"What did the cricket say to the squirrel??" How would we know?? Cricket's don't TALK!! Ok, now that we have broken the ice, let me tell you all about me :) I am a strong survivor. I came from the most DISMAL situation you can imagine.... born to an unwanted mother, sickly and sad, I was dumped with her as well as one of our sisters dead bodies, like we had no meaning in this world... BUT, LOVE WON OUT!!! I was seen by a kind woman who reached out to another kind woman who reached out to a rescuer in San Antonio- 5 hours away!!! AND we were SAVED! So how is that for a rags to riches story?? It is MY story. I am a happy girl now, I have come SO FAR from the scared, skinny, starving, mangy pup I was, but I haven't reached the finish line YET!! That's where you come in... I am ready for my forever family. We are going to be a little picky, if you don't mind. I prefer a home, with heat and ac, with food and with LOVE. Older kids would be great, I can still be a little nervous with new people (who can blame me?) and I would love another calm, confident dog to help me with my energy. So, if that sounds like your home, APPLY TO ADOPT ME!!! You will not only finish my story with a huge happy ending chapter, you will be encouraging all of the kind women who took the time and energy and love that was needed to get me safe and to wonderful families!!!

Sadie was adopted as a rescue 3 years ago. Unfortunately her mom has cancer and asked if I could find a new home for Sadie. Sadie is an active, loving dog. She loves to run and to have wrestling matches with bigger, male dogs. She’s great on a leash and loves a good run or hike. She knows basic commands like sit, down, stay and shake. She has a high prey drive and should not live with any small animals, to include small dogs. She lived with a small child without any issues. Sadie is a bright beautiful dog who just needs a loving home!
