Story
Britney Boop looks like a tiny fruit bat disguised as a dog, complete with enormous ears, big brown doe eyes, and a face that somehow makes everything she does ridiculously adorable. She is one of those dogs who can simply exist in the same room and still make you smile. Whether she is curled up beside you for belly rubs, quietly enjoying a car ride, or tossing her favorite toy around like she has just discovered the greatest invention of all time, Britney brings a little extra happiness everywhere she goes. Watch her video and fall in love with this adorable little fruit bat: https://youtu.be/na8RYBmTKT0?si=8u7Xa9EC8B70E6jZ Britney is approximately 5 years old and currently weighs around 44 pounds, but y’all, she is teeny tiny! Do not let her pictures fool you because she is a compact little girl who is not too big and not too small. We believe she may be an Australian Kelpie and Miniature Shepherd mix, but with animal rescue, breed and age are always a mystery and our best guesses. Around people, Britney is gentle, loving, happy, and wonderfully easy to be around. She loves attention, affection, belly rubs, and curling up right beside her person for a good cuddle. She can be active and playful when the moment calls for it, but inside the home she is incredibly chill, settles easily, and is perfectly content simply being near the people she loves. She has also spent time with a 2-year-old toddler and did very well with him. She was friendly and sweet, and we believe she has wonderful potential to become a loving family dog in a home with respectful children. Britney is dog friendly and has gotten along with every dog we have introduced her to. She enjoys playing and is wonderful at matching the energy of the dogs around her. We have not seen her go full-blown WrestleMania or dive into rough, physical play, but she happily joins in for games of chase. When the other dogs start wrestling, Britney becomes the cutest little third wheel, bouncing around the outskirts like their personal hype girl. She has spent time with dogs her size, dogs smaller than her, and even a dog approximately four times her size. That dog happened to be a purebred Irish Wolfhound, so we cannot blame Britney for being slightly unsure of him at first! Most of us would have questions too. All things considered, she handled his enormous size incredibly well and settled in around him nicely. Britney has also spent time around a few cats and has done fairly well with them. One of the cats did not like dogs and would try to come after her, so Britney understandably chose to run away and keep her distance. When that cat was calmly relaxing nearby, Britney was mostly interested in watching her. She has also been around a confident, dog-savvy cat who is basically a dog trapped inside a cat’s body, and she did well around him too. As always, introductions to any future feline siblings should be slow and supervised while everyone gets comfortable. Britney is crate trained, comfortable in her crate, and has been very quiet while crated from what we have seen and experienced. She also has wonderful house manners and has shown that she understands where the appropriate potty places are. Like any dog entering a new environment, she may need a little time to adjust to a new routine, but she already has a fantastic foundation. This little girl loves treats, takes them gently, and is eager to please. She also enjoys toys, and watching her find one she really loves is about as cute as it gets. Her inner puppy immediately comes out as she play bows, shakes it around, tosses it through the air, and has the absolute time of her life. Everything Britney does is adorable, but her tiny toy parties may take the prize. Britney also loves going for car rides. If the window is open, she is thrilled to stick her head out and enjoy the breeze. If it is closed, she will sit quietly, look out the window, and happily take in the view. With her manageable size, friendly personality, and ability to settle, we think she could become a wonderful companion for outings and adventures with her future family. Britney could thrive in a home with a backyard or in an apartment. She has enough energy to enjoy playtime, walks, and adventures, but she is also quiet, compact, and wonderfully relaxed inside the home. More than anything, she needs someone who will appreciate her gentle heart, laugh at her adorable little quirks, and give her all the cuddles and belly rubs she deserves. Britney is the perfect combination of playful companion, professional cuddler, tiny hype girl, and happy little passenger princess. She is ready to bring her oversized ears, doe-eyed sweetness, and endless supply of adorable moments into a home of her own. We are willing to test Britney Boop with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
BEST WAY TO INQUIRE, EMAIL Adoptions@BAMMRESCUEPDX.ORG 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##
