Story
We've had Gus since he was a puppy at 12 weeks old, Dec 2017. He's been an amazing dog for our family, with the best disposition and desire to be part of the family. In Dec 2024, he had a disc issue (IVDD) that caused his back legs to weaken and lose control of his bladder and bowels. Xrays showed did not require surgery and would heal with strict bed rest and meds. Fortunately, Gus has regained full mobility! He's able to run and jump just as before. Unfortunately, he has not regained control of his bowels or bladder. He remains fully incontinent. We've purchased the very best diapers and bands but are still struggling to control bladder leaks. No matter what we do, there is often little bits of urine dribble. This has become a much bigger undertaking than we'd once thought, and we are questioning our ability to keep Gus whilst needing to be banded and diapered. Gus is still just the sweetest dog and would do great in a home with more hardwoods and less carpets!

Story
Danny Boy is a big lug of a sweetheart who loves to be with his people! He enjoys a good game of tug-o-war, fetch, running, agility work, and snuggling on the couch. Danny is leash trained, potty trained, crate trained, and does pretty well in the car. He knows a variety of commands (just needs reinforcement), and has a very gentle mouth when giving retrieved items or taking treats. Danny would do best in a home with calm, moderately active adults who have experience owning working breeds and/or bully breeds. He has been raised with young kids and has done pretty well with them, but we're not sure how he would be with other kids. He needs help working through anxiety over new situations and people, and opportunity to run and learn new working or agility tasks. We've done our best for Danny Boy and hope to find him a home where he can really grow into his potential and thrive!

Story
I adopted Porkchop from Oregon Dog Rescue when he was about 6 months old. He had been rescued living on the streets in South America. He is now three years old. Porkchop and I have worked really hard on his guarding behaviors. When I was living alone and it was just the two of us, we figured out a good rhythm. I am now living with roommates, including another dog and a cat in the home, and it isn’t working. Porkchop has guarding and reactive behaviors that have been exacerbated since moving in with other people and animals. We have done reactive dog training through the Oregon Humane Society and explored anxiety medication, but his behaviors have not improved. I think Porkchop would do really well in a home without other pets. He plays with other dogs outside of the home and has never had any issues (relatives’ dogs, dog park, walks, etc). He is such a sweet boy, loves cuddles, playing tug, walks, and running at the beach.

Story
Marlon Brando is not just a pretty face, he's also a smooth talker. . . and boy, does he have a lot to say.He is a typical Husky he's full of sass, but he is a good listener and loves to play. He's a funny guy! Marlon was found wandering along a busy highway in Eagle Creek, Oregon. He had an old, but still bleeding, injury to his tail. His tail is all healed now and he's ready for a loving home, preferably with folks who understand and appreciate Huskies.

Story
my wife and I rescued Mako from Felon California After two days of adopting him he was in the intensive care unit because he had Parvo and he was the toughest little pup and was able to beat it and join our family. Mako is most deffininitly the most loving and affectionate dog that we have ever met he absolutely loves being loved all he wants to do is be hugged and laid with. he also loves just sitting outside all day watching the world go on around. some of his favorite actives is running and playing fetch this dog can run all day long and then some. it truly is breaking my heart to be letting him go.unfortunately he has had two incidents with our older smaller dog where mako attacked him unprovoked we cannot have it happen a third time he loves his little brother so much. he has played with our small dog many times very gently and loves to lay as close as he can with him which is why it was so strange he has also played with friends dogs so much with no issues.
