Story
Bella is an 11-month-old mystery mix with a heart full of love and a world of potential. While her breed is a surprise (DNA results coming soon!), Bella is smart, full of energy and eager to please. She knows basic commands like sit, stay, come, down, roll, and shake—and she’s thrilled to learn more! Before being rescued, Bella spent two months in a shelter and was heartbreakingly placed on a kill list. But her story took a happy turn when a wonderful rescue organization stepped in to save her. She adjusted beautifully to life inside a foster home, sleeping peacefully in her crate for 6-7 hours at night without a peep. She’s also a respectful neighbor, doing her business only in her designated spot and never on someone else’s lawn. Bella is still a puppy at heart, so she’s working on socializing, gaining confidence during walks, and curbing her excitement when meeting new people. These are minor adjustments for anyone familiar with training large pups. With her intelligence and eagerness to please, she’s bound to excel with a committed family. In the Car Bella is calm and quiet, and loves tagging along for adventures. At the Vet: Bella’s gentle nature shines; she even fell asleep waiting for the vet! At Home: She’s learning quickly and thriving in a loving environment. With other dogs: Bella is timid at first when seeing other dogs but once she does she will play rough with them, so may do fine with larger dogs. Bella would thrive with an active family with older children or a couple who can give her the structure, activity and love she deserves. Whether you enjoy hiking, running, or simply spending time outdoors, She might enjoy having another medium to large dog to play with, but not smaller dogs. Bella’s journey is just beginning, and she’s ready to make a lucky family complete. If you’re looking for a smart, loving, and loyal pup to grow with, Bella is waiting to meet you. Could you be her forever family?

Story
Abbey came to us in February of 2023 and has been the sweetest dog. She is crate trained from a puppy and she loves to chew on bones. She is high energy and needs more attention than we are able to give while trying to raise three young children. She needs room to run and would be a great farm dog. She is potty trained and has no known allergies. She is great with other dogs and she has been sad since we had to put down our older dog of 14 years old. We absolutely love her and want her to have the best home. It saddens us to do this but we have her best interest at heart to find her a great home.

Story
We call this guy Spitty. He was part of a litter that my ex-wife had that was a purebred poodle dad and a goldendoodle mom. He didn't get sold as a puppy and he has been left with me since he was about 1-year-old. He's two years old now and we need to find him a permanent home. His energy is a little high, but he's calming down with age.

Story
Please contact Fran Kreger (k9kids4adoption@gmail.com), (541) 926-5629 for more information about this pet.My name is Dex.  I am about 3 years old, and weigh about 85 pounds of pure love.  I would love to be your best friend. A female dog would be fun to play with.  Being an only boy would be wonderful too. I want a home SO badly, and would love one with a fenced yard, toys, someone to be near while we watch tv, and sleep at night.. I adore the water too. A trip to the beach would be so fun, or we could just play in the hose... If you might be my forever new family, Please email k9kids4adoption@gmail.com for an application, and tell us a little about the home you have for me, where you are located, and a phone number would also be nice....I am waiting.  An approved application, and a great home with a fenced yard, are required.... I will come vaccinated, neutered micro-chipped, and collar and leash.   Until we have received your completed application we can not arrange a meeting.March 27, 2025, 12:05 pm

Story
Please contact Fran Kreger (k9kids4adoption@gmail.com), (541) 926-5629 for more information about this pet.This is Nick.  He’s our 118 lb, 5 year old, big handsome and very loving Great Pyrenees/Beagle/Staffordshire Terrier mix, that unfortunately we can’t take care of to rightly meet his needs   He belongs outdoors much of the time, but we do not have the yard anymore to give him the room he needs.  We did 4 years ago, but because of our remote location and a family illness, we were forced to move back to Albany, and could not find a similar property.   He needs a new home, a loving family, preferably with some property for him to enjoy the outdoors, and ideally, the ability to go out and in when he wants (ie., a doggie door).   He has atopic allergies of the skin which makes him very unhappy at times.  He never had problems when we were on property, so we suspect a lot has to do with being cooped up in the house too much.  He gets apoquel to help mitigate the symptoms, and often we have to increase his dosage temporarily to get over flareups.   He has pee and poop accidents inside, more frequently of late as his symptoms have worsened in the winter, part of what makes it difficult to take care of him along with his itching.  Unlike out at the country house in his first year and a half, where he never had these issues and was essentially house-broken.   Please, if you are willing to take on a loving dog and have the right kind of setting, we believe he’ll thrive again.    Sadly, we will be forced to consider euthanasia as a last resort, if we cannot find him a good home.  He is a wonderful boy. Just needs the right family. Older children and room to enjoy some outdoor time. Feel free to email k9kids4adoption@gmail.com for an application, or more information. Then we can set up a visit.      January 15, 2025, 12:14 am
