Story
Samson is the sweetest dog and a wonderful companion. He is very affectionate and loves to cuddle. He may be a couch potato at heart, but he's always up for a walk or car ride. He mostly does okay on walks, but he could benefit from someone taking the time to do more leash training with him. He does well being left alone, but if it was up to him he would be with his people every minute of the day :) After we adopted Samson from Portland Humane in January 2024, he warmed up to us right away, but unfortunately he does not get along with our cat. We have tried everything, but they are simply not a good match. Having to keep them seperated all the time is causing too much stress, so we have made the tough decision to find Samson a new home. This decision saddens our hearts, but we know that he will bring his next owner so much joy. We hope to find his forever home.

Story
Hello! My name is Ahsoka. I am a blue nose pittie. I am almost 4. My mom is trying to find me a loving home. I have had a hard time adjusting to our new living situation and am reactive to other dogs. I did get in a fight with my dog roommate and we bit eachother. We are doing ok now, but I think being an only animal would be best. I have some special medication needs due to allergies and anxiety. I have done well with my toddler sister, but have growled when she is picking on me and not listened to mom to have her stop. So no kids in the home would be best. I need someone who has patience and time to work through my anxiety and reactivity. Mom and I have worked on this, and I have gotten better, but still need help. Feel free to ask any questions. My mom loves me and wants the best home possible.

Story
Meet Mocca! If you’re looking for something mild and low-energy, I am not your cup of coffee. I’m more like a double shot Mocca with a whole lot of personality mixed in. Smooth when I need to be, bold when I want to be, and always keeping life interesting. I’m a 6.5 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix at 54 lbs., and I’ve come a long way to become the girl I am today. When I first arrived from the shelter, I had some big feelings and didn’t always know how to handle them. But since joining The Asher House behavior training program, I’ve put in the work and made some serious progress. I’ve learned how to regulate myself. Growth looks good on me! Now, I’m an active, fun-loving girl who thrives when I’m with my people. I love being close to you. Whether we’re out doing something exciting or just hanging out, I’m happiest when I’m part of your world. I’ve got energy to burn and would do best with a family that understands dogs like me and can continue guiding me so I keep shining. When it comes to other dogs, I prefer the calm and respectful type. I’m not looking for chaos, I’m looking for good vibes only. A mellow dog who understands personal space is my kind of friend. Cats are a hard no for me. We’ve discussed it, and I’ve decided it’s not the lifestyle I want. For kids, I’d do best in a home with children 10 and older who understand that I sometimes need space and can respect my boundaries. I’m a sweet girl, I just appreciate a little understanding. What matters most to me is finding someone who understands that I’m a work-in-progress success story with a whole lot of love to give. I’ve grown so much, I love my people deeply, and I’m ready for a home where I can keep being my best self right alongside you! My adoption fee is $295 and I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Hi, I’m Monte, and I’m basically a giant love bug who just happens to have an 80 pound body! I’m a 3 year old American Pit Bull with a big heart, a goofy personality, and a serious appreciation for my people. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily soak up your affection and make you feel like the most important person in the world, I’m your guy! I’m also still a young pup at heart, which means I have plenty of energy to spare. I’d love a family who enjoys getting out and about with their dog and is ready to give me plenty of exercise, enrichment, playtime, and training. I’m a smart boy, and I’m still learning, so continuing my training with positive reinforcement will help me become the very best version of myself! I’m actually quite social with other dogs and have done well around them, but I’d prefer to be your one and only pet at home. I can be protective of my food and water bowls around other animals, so having my own space and resources helps me feel comfortable and successful. We also don’t know how I feel about cats, so a cat-free home is the way to go. I’d do best with kids 15 and older who understand that sometimes a big guy like me needs a little personal space. I promise I’ll give you plenty of love in return. I may be 80 pounds, but I have a heart that is even bigger. I’m looking for a family who will keep teaching me, keep cheering me on, and love me for the goofy, affectionate, energetic boy that I am. My adoption fee is $295 and I'm neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Come meet me...I have a feeling you’re going to fall for me!

Hello, my name is Paisley! I'm an athletic and curious young lady with a playful side. Though I'm not sure about other dogs just yet, I'm sure we can become best friends in no time. I'm kennel trained, and I'd prefer to be in a home with older kids since I sometimes get so excited that I jump up on people - I just can't help it! I also love to run around and explore, so I'll need a backyard or at least a long walking route. I can be a bit of a puller on walks, so I'd benefit from some training and a gentle lead. I'm always up for a game of fetch or a good chew session - I just can't choose toys that are not super strong! If you think you can keep up with my active lifestyle, we might be a perfect match. Come meet me today and see for yourself
