Story
Jack is a sweet, gentle and affectionate 7 year old boy. He came to us on January 17th after his human passed away. Unfortunately, we're unable to keep Jack long term. Jack knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. He has done well in our home with 3 other dogs and a chicken. We've seen him interact with children on a limited basis and he has done well. He would do great as a companion for an elderly person or in a family setting. He's looking for someone who will take him on walks and love on him the way he deserves. Jack has allergies that went untreated for some time prior to coming to our home which has caused a skin condition. The good news is that it is treatable and he's already well on his way to feeling and looking better. His future home will need to continue his current regimen and be diligent about keeping his allergies under control. Jack has an appointment next week to get updated on shots and will then be adoptable through Senior Dog Rescue of Oregon!

Story
Ceasar is a 15mth old altered male kelpie mix Ceasar Hey, I’m Ceasar. I’ll be real with you — I’m still figuring this whole “new people” thing out. Meeting strangers makes me nervous, and if I feel cornered, I might snap. But here’s the thing: once I get to know you and trust you, my softer side comes out, and I can relax and be myself. The good news? I get along with dogs way easier than I do with people! They help me feel comfortable and confident. With patience, training, and someone willing to go slow, I know I can keep improving just like I did with my foster. If you’re the type of person who believes in second chances and helping an underdog shine, I’d love to be your project pup and, eventually, your best friend. ##2498991##

Story
2 yr old tricolor M/N Kelpie/GSD mix Looking for a dogs dog?? Gunner is your guy! He was comfortable enough around me, allowed touch, took treats, interacted some with me, but he really really wanted to play with the big dog in the next yard. He wasn't aloof though! Took treats gently, eager to please and loved being called a good boi, it was a fun yard time for both us us He does seem to be feeling the stress from the shelter, some have had some trouble getting him out of his kennel but he was perfectly behaved for me. This is an active breed, he will need consistent physical and mental exercise to be happy, it is likely what is causing his current stress and occasional barrier reactivity. It is worth noting that he was a very loud bork monster when I first approached his kennel but after 3 treats he was ready to follow me anywhere I was going Knows how to sit, walks well on the leash (just a tiny bit of pulling) and seemed potty trained!! ##2528145##

Story
&#226&#156&#168 Meet Teresita Female • Kelpie / Husky Mix • Born 7/17/2025 • ~20 pounds • Not Spayed Yet Teresita is a bright, beautiful young pup with a heart as big as her potential. At just five months old, she’s in that magical stage of puppyhood where curiosity, playfulness, and affection all blend together.

Personality Teresita is joyful, smart, and full of life. She has a playful spirit and an eager-to-learn mind, paired with a sweet, affectionate side that loves human connection. Expect happy wiggles, puppy zoomies, and those quiet moments when she curls up nearby after a busy day. She thrives on interaction and will do best with people who enjoy engaging with their dog and helping her grow into her best self. Breed Info (Kelpie / Husky Mix) This wonderful mix often brings together: High intelligence and problem-solving skills Energetic, athletic builds Loyal, people-oriented personalities A need for both physical activity and mental stimulation Teresita will benefit from continued training, enrichment, and an active, loving home. Owner Responsibilities Teresita’s future family should be prepared to: Continue puppy training and socialization Provide daily exercise and mental enrichment Establish routines, structure, and positive guidance Commit to spay surgery when age-appropriate Maintain consistent veterinary care Even though Teresita is healthy, adopters should take her to their own veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption. Things to Consider Before Adopting Puppies require time, patience, and supervision Training is ongoing and essential Confirm landlord or HOA approval, including breed and size policies Consider your daily schedule, energy level, and long-term plans A dog is a lifetime commitment, not just a puppy phase The 3-3-3 Rule The first 3 days help Teresita decompress, the first 3 weeks help her learn your routine, and the first 3 months are when trust deepens and she truly understands she’s home. &#226&#156&#168 Why Teresita Will Be a Great Addition Teresita has the kind of joyful spirit that fills a home with laughter, movement, and love. With the right guidance, she will grow into a loyal, intelligent companion who will walk beside you through life’s adventures.
