Story
Axel is energetic and loving. We have been together since he was 8 weeks old. He has lived with various other dogs (big and small), a couple of cats (however he does like to chase the cats), and children (ages 0-13). He is house trained, leash trained, kennel trained, and he knows various commands including sit, stay, come, down, off, and spin. If there are no other animals in the area, he responds well off-leash as well. He is up-to-date on his shots. He loves going on runs, playing fetch, cuddling, and squeak toys. This decision has been very difficult for us as we love Axel and he is a great companion. Unfortunately, we have not been able to provide for him as well as we want to with starting a new family. We believed we could do well, but his quality of life has declined (less walks, less interaction) and he deserves better.

Sparrow is a very sweet girl who would do best with someone who can spoil her and give her lots of pets. She's anxious and shy and would be happiest if she was the only pet. She's 12 years old and 8 pounds. She loves relaxing and sleeping and going on car rides and walks!

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?

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.

Story
**Please note this is pet is currently out of town pet but we will transport this pet to you when adopted. All fees listed include transport fees.** Meet Mia! Mia is making her debut here at our rescue after her owner turned her out on the streets in rural Oklahoma where she had several litters of puppies and developed severe hair loss due to years of chronic demodex. Her skin is soft now and most of her beautiful coat has filled in. She still has some bald spots and her skin scrape is negative, so we are unsure if she will have new hair growth in the bald areas or not. After wonderful care from our vet and foster mom, daily Apoquel and high quality food... Mia is ready for her forever home! Mia is the definition of a smart velcro dog who wants nothing more than to be by your side or in your car 24/7. Mia is the master of playing fetch, loves to tear up stuffed toys, opens gate latches and door latches! Although Mia loves people small children and small dogs make her very nervous...not aggressive as there are small dogs in her foster home...just nervous. She is fine with bigger dogs and kids! Mia's foster mom thinks Mia is part angel!! It's time for Mia to share her love with her new person! Could that be you? Interested in becoming a forever home for Mia?

Story
Meet Onyx! Onyx is a 4-year-old Aussiedoodle and truly the sweetest boy. He knows sit and stay, walks well on a leash, and loves everyone he meets. He can be playful and a little hyper when first meeting you, but once his energy is out, he’s a big couch potato who loves to relax with his people. Onyx is crate trained during the work day and at night and is very easygoing overall. We love him dearly and want him to go to a kind, loving family who can give him the time and attention he deserves. We recently welcomed a baby girl and, with a recent job loss, we’re no longer able to give him the attention or afford the extra expenses he needs. Our biggest priority is finding him the best possible home
