Story
Dottie is around 4 years old 65lb pit bull/boxer mix with a lot of love to give! She’s a sweet girl who loves to cuddle and play with toys. I have had her for a little over a year and she lives with another dog and 2 cats and does great with them all. She has had issues with some other dogs in the past, it really depends on personality and overstimulation. She was rescued from a kill shelter in Texas and was adopted out by a family, who unfortunately had a 14 year old son who abused her so she has some trauma around young men. She was returned to the shelter then I got her and she’s been a loving companion but I am currently pregnant with a boy and due to her history, I don’t feel comfortable having her around a baby. It breaks my heart to have to rehome her but I know I can find a family that would be a better fit.

Story
Hollie was found on 1/11/26 at the intersection of S Bertelsen Rd & W 18th Ave. She came into the shelter not yet spayed.If you believe this is your missing dog, please contact the shelter at (541) 689-1503. Since this dog is new to the shelter and we are still looking for their family, they are not viewable on the adoption floor at this time.The shelter staff is giving me some time to settle in and adjust to this new place. As we get to know each other a little better, the behavior team and veterinary staff will then be evaluating my needs. Please stay tuned for my updated information!Our shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs can be unreliable and for most dogs we are only guessing at their primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label.This pet is located at Greenhill Humane Society. 88530 Greenhill Road, Eugene, OR 97402 (541) 689-1503. See all of the pets at this shelter by visiting www.green-hill.org.

Story
You know how some dogs you can just look at an know they are happy, friendly, and good company? That was exactly how I felt the moment I saw Hanky. It was across the yard and I just knew he was going to be a good-time boy and I was not wrong. If pure joy were a dog, it would be Hanky Baby. He is estimated to be just over 6 months old so he has his happy personality paired with the wiggles and sweetness of the puppy days. Simply, he is the definition of happy-go-lucky, friendly, affectionate, social, and always ready to make a new best friend. Take a look at his sweetness in action here then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/jEhVkHKi7FU Hanky has been so fortunate and is fostered in a loving home. This means he is both house and crate trained and has a great base of those wonderful house manners all dogs need. His foster mom said this when we asked about Hanky- “This one was ALMOST a foster fail. This dog has stolen our family’s heart and is the new mascot for our school bus stop! He is such a lover, loves to be around people, and will just sit at your feet. He’s super sweet with kids and even though he’s a puppy he does not jump on the kids and just wants to be near them. Hanky Bear cannot meet a stranger with people, dogs, and cats – he just wants to play and be in the middle of all of the fun. He’s got a sweet puppy personality and doesn’t want any drama and just wants to have a good time!” Isn’t that the sweetest endorsement for a good boy!? We saw the same thing- Hanky loves people with his whole heart and he greets everyone like they’re his most favortie person (because in his world, right then, they are!). He comes in for love and is quick to soak up any offerings of affection. He is the epitome of the dog that will make you smile even on a real bad day. Plus, he already know sit so yeah, he is pretty much perfect! If you want to teach him a few more things youll be happy to know his sweet nature is perfectly paired with a boy who will work for a treat. That treat motivation and eagerness to please makes him a dream to teach and he will quickly pick up more skills as he grows. Like all puppies, Hanky has things to learn- just the basics though. One area he will need continued guidance is on- leash walking but he is responsive, sensitive in all the right ways, and thrives when someone shows him what’s expected. Hanky is perfectly social with other dogs and adapts his playstyle beautifully to playmates of different personalities. He’s respectful with calmer dogs, happy to romp with playful ones, and shows excellent puppy communication- even backing off politely in moments when the big dogs get to be overwhelming. With a gentle, medium-energy dog at home, he’d have the perfect buddy to grow up with. He did wonderfully with the cat during his assessment and is at the ideal age to learn good manners around feline friends. With guidance and consistency, he can absolutely become a cat-compatible household member. Hanky Baby is an active kiddo who would thrive with a family that enjoys walks, hikes, outings, and positive training. Older kids would be a better match at this stage simply because he is still mastering the art of containing his enthusiasm and those jumpy with his greetings, but this will train away so if your kids know how to say NO! then he will be a perfect fit. He is sunshine in puppy form- sweet, loving, eager, and ready to grow into the very best version of himself. If a joyful companion to join in life’s adventures is what you are looking for- Hanky Baby is ready to love you and yours with everything he’s got. Ready to welcome Hanky home?

Story
Meet Junior Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Sex: Male Age: 5 years Weight: 66 pounds Health: Safe, cared for, and on his healing journey Junior is a survivor. Found wandering the streets and rescued from the brink of starvation, this gentle soul has known hardship — yet somehow, he chose love anyway. Despite everything he’s endured, Junior’s heart remains open, kind, and incredibly forgiving. He carries a quiet strength and a deep gratitude for safety, comfort, and human connection. Personality Junior is calm, affectionate, and deeply appreciative of kindness. He has a soft, soulful presence and a gentle way about him that immediately puts people at ease. He enjoys companionship, cozy rest time, and peaceful moments near his humans. Junior is cat-friendly and respectful, showing that his heart is as big as his sturdy frame. He bonds deeply and thrives in an environment where he feels safe, loved, and valued. Breed Info: Pit Bull Terrier Pit Bulls are known for: Deep loyalty and devotion to their families Affectionate, people-loving personalities Emotional sensitivity and strong bonds Calm companionship when properly supported Thriving in homes that offer structure, love, and inclusion They are incredibly resilient dogs who blossom when given stability and trust. Owner Responsibilities Junior will thrive with an adopter who can offer: Consistency, patience, and reassurance Daily companionship and gentle exercise A calm, loving routine where he feels secure Continued positive reinforcement and emotional support He doesn’t need perfection — he needs commitment, kindness, and a home that understands healing takes time. &#226&#154&#160&#239&#184&#143 Things to Consider Before Adopting Before welcoming Junior home, please consider: Are you ready to commit to a dog who has known hardship and deserves stability? Does your housing allow his breed and size? Are you prepared for long-term care, including food, vet visits, and enrichment? Can you provide a calm, loving environment where trust can continue to grow? Adoption is a lifetime promise — especially important for a dog who has already lost so much Vet Care Even though Junior is now safe and cared for, adopters should schedule a visit with their own veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption to establish ongoing care and ensure his continued recovery and health. The 3-3-3 Rule First 3 days: Junior may be cautious as he takes in his new surroundings — patience and gentle reassurance are key. First 3 weeks: He’ll begin learning your routine and realizing he is safe. First 3 months: Trust deepens, his personality shines, and he’ll truly understand that he is home. This adjustment period is essential, especially for a dog who has survived neglect. Why Junior Will Be an Incredible Addition Junior is the kind of dog who reminds you what resilience and unconditional love truly mean. He doesn’t ask for much — just safety, kindness, and a place to belong. In return, he offers unwavering loyalty, quiet affection, and a heart that will love you with everything it has. If you’re ready to give a deserving soul his second chance and be the happy ending to his story, Junior is waiting for you   If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue.
