Shetland Sheepdog puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

Cheerio the Bestest Boy is what would happen if a woodland creature, a teddy bear, and a cartoon puppy all got together and decided to make the cutest dog on planet earth. Seriously — this boy looks unreal. One icy blue eye, one chocolate brown eye, giant satellite-dish ears, tiny corgi legs, fluffy border collie vibes, and the softest fur ever created. We’re calling him a Corgi-Australian Cattle dog mix, but as with all rescue pups, that’s just our best guess, his official breed is 100% Certified Good Boy. At just four months old, Cheerio has already perfected the art of stealing hearts. The second we met him, he completely melted into our arms like butter and basically decided every human was his new best friend. He’s not the chaotic, bouncing-off-the-walls type of puppy either, he’s sweet in the most gentle, intentional way. He’ll calmly walk over, sit beside you, lean against your leg, and quietly ask for love like a tiny fuzzy gentleman. Then the second you start petting him? PLOP. Straight onto his back for belly rubs with the happiest little face imaginable. Watch Cheerio’s video here! https://youtu.be/0tHJyz5nbgQ?si=Rjg5feh-9ijh_PFO And yes, he is every bit as sweet with kids as he is with adults. During his kid test with a four- and seven-year-old, Cheerio was incredibly tolerant, affectionate, and gentle. He happily accepted all the attention, climbed right into their laps for cuddles, and acted like he had known them forever. He absolutely adores people and truly seems happiest when he’s close to his humans. When it comes to dogs, Cheerio is the life of the puppy party. He had super easy, quick leash-drop introductions with every dog we brought out and immediately wanted to run, chase, and play. He shared toys well, shared attention from handlers well, and showed really lovely social skills overall. He’s confident and playful without being pushy, and he reads other dogs nicely too. At one point, another dog got a little too rough during play and started overwhelming him. Cheerio gave a very appropriate quick correction to say “okay dude, too much,” then calmly removed himself and came to sit by our feet. A few minutes later, he was completely relaxed again and back to having fun. Honestly, it was such a nice example of healthy puppy communication. He currently lives with both a small dog and a large dog and has done great with both. He would probably love a playful canine buddy who enjoys running around and then crashing together afterward for naps. Cheerio also did really well out and about. He walked nicely on leash with very little pulling, stayed non-reactive during outings, and handled noise, activity, and new environments like a champ. Everywhere he went, he just soaked up attention from people and happily enjoyed the adventure. As for cats: Cheerio was curious and interested during his cat test. He sniffed, licked, and followed the cat briefly at times, but he was also able to disengage and walk away. We did see moments where he looked like he might want to chase if a cat ran, so we think he would need further kitty testing before going to a home with cats to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. At this time, we would recommend slow introductions and dog-savvy cats only. Cheerio is truly the best of both worlds, playful and fun when it’s time to zoom around the yard, then immediately ready to curl up against you like a weighted blanket with ears. He’s medium energy overall and still very much a puppy, so continued enrichment and puppy guidance will be important for him. But goodness… this puppy is special. He’s cuddly, goofy, social, affectionate, emotionally intelligent, and ridiculously charming all wrapped into one compact little body. If you’re looking for a puppy that wants to be your adventure buddy and your couch cuddle champion, Cheerio may just be your perfect match. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Sissy is the kind of dog who’s happiest curled up next to you at the end of the day. She’s calm, affectionate, and just wants to be close without being overwhelming. Sissy is a young corgi/JRT mix with a unique look—long and low, but not heavy. She’s the perfect size for couch cuddles and everyday life. She’s very loving and enjoys being with her person, whether that’s relaxing at home or just hanging out nearby. When she first arrived, she was scared of other dogs and reacted out of fear. Once she realized she was safe, she completely relaxed and now does well around them. That tells you a lot about her—she’s sensitive, aware, and able to adjust when she feels secure. Good fit: someone looking for a calm, affectionate companion who enjoys closeness and will settle into a steady, comfortable routine. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back.
