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.

Story
MEET ROCKY, a 2-year-old Australian Kelpie in need of a foster or forever home! Rocky is a very affectionate dog who loves his human! He would do well with someone who works from home or is retired, as he loves to be with people. Rocky weighs only 40 lbs., and is a loving boy. He's done well with other dogs in the past, though we can test him further. Kelpies are intelligent dogs, believed to have been descended from Border Collies. They love to be stimulated with walks and other activities. Rocky would do best in an active home where he can go for walks, hikes or other outings. He's currently in Southern California but can be transported to Oregon. Please email for an application.

These pups are in Newberg, Oregon too!

Story
Meet Ladybug 🐞Ladybug is a 6-year-old red Heeler with a story that has left her heart a little broken.Her beloved human became ill, went into acute care, and sadly passed away. During that time, Ladybug was left alone at home for nearly two months, with only brief visits for food. By the time she came to us, she was living in fear and survival mode. At her lowest point, we couldn’t safely touch her.So, we slowed down.Two dedicated staff members began sitting quietly outside her kennel each day—no pressure, no expectations—just calm, steady presence. For three weeks, they simply existed alongside her, offering patience, consistency, and silent companionship. And slowly… Ladybug began to trust again.Eventually, she allowed them to enter her space. Then came a collar. A leash. And finally, a walk outside to feel the fresh air again.Ladybug has made wonderful strides in recent weeks. She is becoming more comfortable being handled by shelter staff, and the circle of people she trusts continues to grow, with more staff now able to safely work with her. She can go in and out of her kennel, enjoy walks, and even accept affection.While Ladybug is making great progress, healing is not always linear. Some days she may regress a little or be more unpredictable as she continues to adjust. She needs a patient, understanding person who will give her the time and grace she needs to keep building confidence.We know finding the right home for Ladybug won’t be easy. But we also know she deserves it.She is looking for a very special person—someone compassionate, steady, and willing to meet her exactly where she is: scared, unsure, and still learning that the world can be safe again. With time, we believe she can become the loving, loyal companion she once was.The shelter is also very open to a foster-to-adopt situation so Ladybug can decompress outside of the shelter and show you who she truly is in a home environment. Once she’s out of the chaos, her loving and loyal side really comes through.If you have the heart and patience to give Ladybug the second chance she deserves, please reach out to Pam at the shelter.Let’s help Ladybug find her way home.Due to COVID-19, we are currently only open by appointment. Please follow the instructions on each pet profile.
