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. ❤️

Story
Rescued from Oregon Humane Society in Portland on 9/17/2023. Estimated age at that time at 1 year. May be slightly older. She had been transferred there from Medford. Very energetic, very intelligent. Freddie has come a long way since we took her in. She has separation anxiety and is on medication for it. I can provide that information to any interested parties She is very lovable. Her favorite activities are playing keep away with any number of her toys, tug/pull, fetching tennis balls, chewing on bones and finding the treat. Our biggest challenge is that Freddie is very protective and is aggressive with other dogs, older males (especially wearing ball caps or hoodies) or if someone she doesn't know surprises her. As I had spinal surgery late last year, it's very challenging for me to walk or control her and has become an issue for my wife who feels she can't leave the house or take her anywhere with her I am happy to answer any questions, and hope to find her a new home

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
Meet Dexter, or Dex for short— a loyal, loving one-year-old companion looking for the right home. At about 45 pounds, Dexter is the perfect medium-sized buddy for someone who wants a dog that loves being close to his people. We are guessing at the breed of Kelpie and Cattle dog which seams to fit him. His favorite things? Playing fetch with his stuffed toys, curling up right beside you (or even in your lap!), and spending time with the people he trusts. He also enjoys going on walks and exploring with his person. We believe he is a herding type dog. Dexter can take a little time to warm up to new people and is alert when visitors enter the home, so he’ll do best with patient adopters who understand that trust takes time. Loud vehicles can sometimes make him anxious on walks, but he continues to gain confidence with reassurance and routine. The good news is that Dexter does very well around other dogs and does not bark at them on walks or through fences. He enjoys cats and would happily try to make them his playmates! Because he can be sensitive to new people and activity, Dexter would do best in a home without young children. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will stick by your side and reward your patience with lots of love, Dexter may be your perfect match! Dexter is little over 1 year old so still puppish, but fully vetted, Neutered, Microchipped, and his adoption fee is $340. To meet him please go to our web\site - OFOSA.ORG and fill out the Dog Adoption Application and his foster mom will be intouch.
