Anatolian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

Let me introduce you to a warm, gentle soul we call Barley. He has eyes that quietly say “tell me all about it, I’m here to listen.” And his presence is just as comforting. He can come off a touch shy when you first meet him, some of that is because he isn’t clamoring for your attention, but the truth is he is taking slow and observing. I felt like I immediately understood his energy and met him there, sitting on the ground with him and while I sweet talked him he slowly melted into leaning on me in a way that felt like a gentle hug. He is a quiet presence like a long-time best friend and has all the traits of an adoring, loyal dog. Lucky for you he is available for adoption and ready to come home. Take a look then come back to read more- It’s no surprise, my favorite thing about Barley is how easy his company is. Slow and steady in every area, whether it is with people, on-leash for a walk, with dogs, or meeting our house cat. His demeanor and look lead us to believe he is an Anotolian shepherd mix, approximately 1.5 years old and he currently weighs 51 lbs, Breed and age are details we cannot offer 100% certainty on given the nature of him being a rescue . He may grow a smidge more but we believe he is essentially his full grown size- perfectly midsize in our opinion. Initially, we thought Barley may not be interested in other dogs because of his shy approach but we were quickly shown otherwise. As we introduced him to female on-leash, it was easy to see that he felt very comfortable with her. His tail was wagging and his body was soft and welcoming. With each additional dog he continued to show us a polite approach and an easy-going nature, no matter the size or gender of the dogs. He did really gravitate towards a larger male in a very loving way, almost like the protector energy of this dog was familiar. Although we have not seen a bouncy, playful side, we anticipate as he settles in and builds connections with dogs, we will see that side of him emerge. In addition to being dog friendly, Barley was respectful with our resident house cat. His approach was cautious and almost avoidant but before long the cat was laying nearby and he moved on in a way that showed he was not fixated or concerned with the cat. From what we saw Barley would make a peaceful addition to a home with feline friends. Barley would easily live in a home with a yard to stretch those legs, feel the sun and enjoy the breeze but he has potential for apartment life. With a quiet presence and a wonderful mid-size frame, with growing leash skills, apartments are a possibility but because of his current shyness he may need some sweet talk and treats to build confidence in busy areas.But given his age and approach to new experiences we have confidence that with time and understanding, Barley will transition smoothly into a variety of homes. A house with a yard is always wonderful but above all Barley is looking for a loving home, regular walks, a easy-going doggie companion or two, maybe even a feline friend… he is ready to quietly take on discovering the world with you by his side. If you can guard that gentle, sweet heart, he promises to help calm you from whatever the day could throw at you, fill you up with love, sweetness and loyalty in return. Looks, charm, and a golden-good heart, that’s Barley and he is ready and available to be your dream boy! Questions?

They are spunky, happy friendly and curious. Their favorite past time is hanging out by one of the ponds. They don't quite swim yet but definitely love water. Great with dogs of all sizes and with cats. Love to cuddle. Do not love being a crate though. They will each make perfect family dogs or adventure buddies for a single person or couple. They are some of the best puppies I've ever met. They were surrendered to a small rural shelter as an accidental litter.

Mac and his siblings found themselves at a small rural shelter with no foot traffic so we got them out. Mac is curious and independent and loving and adventurous. He loves water and he spends most of his day exploring the woods and ponds on the property. He is super smart too. His siblings are all fluffier than he is and look more shepherd like than he does. He has more of a heeler look in terms of coloring and shape but based on their sizes and their growth since I got them, I believe they will be big dogs. Big, happy, friendly, loving dogs. He is about 4 months old. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below.

We got Arlo from the local humane society in July. He is a fairly chill and protective dog with a strong personality that can be willful at times. Arlo is just over a year old and is fully grown. He really needs a large yard where he can get his energy out or nice long regular walks. Being in a single dog home where he can really bond with his people is exactly what he needs. He is a sweet loyal dog that misses you when you leave and will watch over you when you need him. All he needs is the right fitting home in order to thrive.

Remy's owner is leaving the country life and would like to find 1 1/2 yr old Remy a new home where he can continue to lead a life with more freedom than a small city lot. While he is leash trained he's been living in the country for awhile. He's neutered, chipped and up to date on his shots. He is great with kids, adults and other dogs and pretty much ignores cats. He's very relaxed but does enjoy playing when given a chance. He's about 70 pounds of fluff and love, an Anatolian Shepherd mix (guessing maybe Australian Shepherd?). If you are interested in meeting this handsome boy with the idea of making him yours please fill out an adoption application. The fee will be $250If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application.November 28, 2025, 2:00 am

Belgian Malinois Mix 2 years old Male 63 pounds Kids · 10+ Dogs · Dog selective Cats · No What My Friends Say About Me: Whether it’s zooming around the park or playing fetch until my tail can’t wag anymore, I’m always up for an adventure! There’s nothing better than curling up next to you after a fun-filled day. I promise to shower you with love! I’m eager to learn and would thrive with positive reinforcement training. The Type of Home I’m Looking For: I prefer to be your one and only furry friend, as I’m not really a fan of sharing my home with other dogs. I’m not a fan of cats or small animals, so it’s probably best if we skip them altogether! I’d do best in a home with kids over 10 years old. My adoption fee is $240 and includes neuter, microchip & registration, leash/collar, food sample, toy & treat packet.

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 of 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 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.

Fathom is a 7 year old great dane found loose in a neighborhood on the edge of SE portland and Gresham. The owner of her microchip gave us information and she has stayed with us for about 4 weeks. She is a lovely companion who happens to be about at hand-height when you are standing together for easy petting! She is amazing with humans including kids but can be reactive with large dogs. She can get along with large dogs when introduced safely and correctly but it takes time to get her comfortable with large dogs. She is good with small dogs and her old owner says she is good with cats. She doesn't go potty in the house and is well trained and well behaved. Truly the only challenge is that big dogs scare her even on walks. We would love to keep her but didn't plan to adopt a dog and need someone else to give her a home for her golden years. I can give some supplies with her. She is in great shape for 7 years old, we would have guessed she was only 3-5 until the old owner told us 7.
