Story
My foster knows me better than anyone! Here's what they had to say about me during my time with them:I know my basic commands like sit, down, and come.I am polite and have good house manners. I can wait for food and treats and getting my harness on. I do not keep the toy when I play fetch.I am energetic and lively but I wind down well and love a good nap.I am smart and I learn quickly! I've already been working on my manners at HSSW and would love to continue training classes with my new family. If you want to learn about HSSW training classes, check out our Dog Training program.Great news! My adoption fee has been paid by someone who loves me and wants me to find a great home.

Story
Carmela is a wonderfully loving dog with a joyful, playful spirit. She especially enjoys jumping around and has an abundance of energy. Although I have taken her to training classes, we didn’t make the progress I had hoped for. She learns quickly and still has that sweet puppy heart. She adores her toys, treats, snuggle blankets, and her big pink pillow. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to keep her. Her bark is very high-pitched, and with my hearing aids I receive frequent warnings, which has made it too difficult to manage. Carmela is very gentle and affectionate with my grandchildren, but she is a jumper; now that she has grown, she’s taller than my granddaughter when she jumps. She only wants to play—she doesn’t realize that her enthusiasm can cause issues. She truly is my little spring. I had her fixed hoping it might help with her barking, but sadly it did not. I wish with all my heart that I could keep her, because she really is a sweet, loving girl. toys, blankets, pen

Bailey is an 8 and a half year old Australian Shepard who loves her walks and big open spaces! Shes great at playing fetch as well and loves to play! Bailey is a timid pup but very friendly and good with other dogs. Baileys ideal hone would be in a house with a yard for her to be able to roam and explore. While she does like to explore at home she does have some anxiety while driving and would ideally need a home where she isn't moved around often as well.

Story
**Please note this is pet is currently out of town pet but we will transport this pet to Portland for you when adopted. All fees listed include transport fees.** Meet Copper! Copper is a very sweet, playful guy! He is around 4 years old, and at his last vet visit weighed in at 60 pounds. We think Copper probably has some Australian Shepherd, along with several other breeds including possibly Belgian Shepherd, Greyhound or Carolina dog. Copper is a beautiful and happy boy. He’s lucky to be alive! Copper came to us from the shelter at a time when he was minutes from losing his life because he had an upper respiratory infection. We are so glad he is with us now, and he is in a training program getting ready for his forever home! Copper does well in a crate, he also does well on a leash. Copper would love to be a hiking or running buddy! His foster mom said he is doing well at learning house training. Copper loves to play with his doggy friends especially tug-of-war with the big rope toys and will do wonderful at a daycare or dog park with other active and playful dogs! Interested in becoming a forever home for Copper? Fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we don't go any further without an application. Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws. We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting Copper. We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and Copper the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us. For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process. 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. Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!

Story
Rosalita and her sister Marietta were dumped in the country. A lady contacted me and brought them to me. Rosalita is the sweetest girl. She is happy, confident, and spunky. She weighs about 20 lbs and has two different colored eyes. She is great with dogs of all sizes and with cats. She is the perfect pocket-sized doggie friend. She is currently still in Oklahoma where she was rescued but she can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. She has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take her in or she will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.

Loving, smart, beautiful, cuddly, stays with her person, active but not hyper, medium sized, adult but still young, great with dogs of all sizes, great with cats and kittens, walks well on the leash, does well in a crate, not a barker. She was dumped with another dog and a local resident reached out for help so the dogs wouldn't starve or get hit by a car. They are now safe at the rescue.

Here's what you need to know about me:.Adopt me on the 4th of December and my fee is waived! It's the Craig Stein Yappy Hour and we're honoring our friend Craig by waiving adoption fees for all pets. And every pet adopted during the promotion will also receive a branded bandana and a starter kit with food, treats, and toys!I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.I'd like a home where my family is home often. I'm just really social and love spending time with people, I prefer to not be left alone for long periods.I need to be the only pet. I'm not comfortable sharing my space or my stuff with other animals. I prefer to be the center of attention!I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor. Primary Color: Black Weight: 55.375 Age: 3yrs 0mths 3wks

SAILOR A HANDSOME YOUNG DOG. GOOD WITH ALL DOGS AND PEOPLE! This sweet, young fellow is Sailor and he came into our rescue when we were told about four dogs that were living with an unhoused man who allowed the dogs to roam freely in the streets while dodging traffic. Thankfully, we were able to get him to surrender all of the dogs to us. We got them straight to our vet where they were all fully vetted. Sailor is now looking for his forever home! This sweet boy is a 1-year-old, 54lb,Kelpie / Akita. He wants to please and craves human companionship. He is just freaking awesome, listen to his name can be goofy and playful, it’s just so rewarding to see a pup that had absolutely nothing and no future to see him play with toys and bones for the first time is priceless . Also he is not recourse guarding and very willing to share if we tell him to. , what a fantastic dog and so loyal. Someone that is not gone long hours during the day, and a home with a safe and secure yard for him to play in. Active owners that will walk daily is exactly what he needs! He is such a wonderful dog and is good with everyone he meets! He deserves the best forever home out there and we won't stop till we find it! This one is like hitting the Jackpot. 🔥❤️😍💕 Sailor is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. 😍🔥😍🔥😍🔥😍

Story
Jack is a year and a half old black Labrador retriever. When we bought him we did a DNA test on him to know what other breeds he was mixed with. Reaults in pictures. He is great with kids and other dogs. We bought him when he was 12 weeks old. The person we bought him from had him in the house, for us he has been an outside dog. He is neutered, loves to run and play, will play fetch and is leash trained. He is not food aggressive and he loves treats!
