Story
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.

Story
Guinness is a 6 month old Australian/English Shepherd mix. He weighs 30 pounds and is up to date on all vaccines. He was born blind in his left eye but doesn’t know it and has no barriers from it. He is a confident puppy with a very friendly and outgoing personality. He’s the best car rider, it puts him to sleep usually, and loves to go anywhere. He’s great with other dogs who want to play. He has a curiosity about cats but hasn’t been around them much. While he is friendly with kids, he hasn’t quite mastered not jumping or mouthing which might not be suited for small children. His energy level is on the high side, typical for his breed. He’s house and crate trained and reliably knows commands - sit, down, stay, and go to your bed. He’s making steady progress on calm greetings/anti-jumping and impulse control. He still needs the most work on leash and not mouthing. Sadly, my circumstances changed and I can't give him the stimulation and activity he deserves and needs.

These pups are in Vancouver, Washington too!

Story
Hi, I'm Bagel! My shelter friends say I have the sweetest face, and my personality matches it. I love all kinds of treats and I'm super smart, which makes training fun and easy. I have good leash manners and enjoy getting out for walks and playtime, but I'm also happy to curl up for a cozy snuggle session. I'm a loving, gentle pup who's ready to bring lots of smiles (and cuddles) to my future family.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: 59.5 Age: 3yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
Here's what you need to know about me:I'm an active dog! I would love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures.I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.I have some handling sensitivity. That means I have some preferences about how and where I get petted. My human friends at the shelter can tell you more!I would love a family experienced with working breeds or willing to learn. I have some behaviors and preferences that are typical of dogs with a working temperament and would thrive with a family who understands those needs.I'm not on the general adoption floor. You might not see me when you come to visit. So please speak to an adoption counselor if you'd like to meet me. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 67.2 Age: 3yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
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. 😍🔥😍🔥😍🔥😍
