Nanaue came to us as a owner surrender because of financial reasons. She is 3 years old and currently 76 pounds. She is good with other dogs except at meal times and great with kids of all ages. She does however hate cats and is very aggressive towards them, so no cat household for this gal please. She is partially crate trained. Does not like being alone and will try to break out so she will need a strong kennel if left alone in the house. Her intake profile does not say if she is housebroken or not. She loves snuggles and is very friendly. Loves to give hugs. She is not quite ready to go yet as she needs to be scheduled to be spayed but a $25 non refundable deposit can hold her until she is ready to go and that fee goes towards her adoption fee.

Sitka was brought in by someone who was given the dog as they didn't want it anymore and they could not keep it as well. He is about 4 months old and was told he is Alaskan Malamute and German Shepherd mix. He is going to be a large dog. He is very friendly and super smart. He knows how to sit but it takes him a few minutes. Did not seem very interested in playing with tug toys or a ball. He really wanted the treats in my hand instead. He had lived with another dog and children and did good. He does not do well with cats. He is not quite ready to go yet as he needs to be scheduled to be fixed but a $25 non refundable hold fee will hold him until he is ready to go and that fee will go towards his adoption fee.

Palo came in as a stray and sadly was not claimed. We think he is about 2 years old. Shy and timid at first but warms up. Very much afraid of traffic going by and will do his best to hide. It is clear he has had some past trauma in his life. He needs to go to the best home that will provide safety and security for him to build his confidence. A kind and patient person who will take their time and let him come out of his shell .Sure he looks big and tough but that is just a protective shell. He is very sweet once you gain his trust. Does not seem to mind other dogs that share the fence line in the play yards and he did try to play a couple times. Somewhat food motivated but he hasn't been here long so it could be that he is still settling in and the traffic going by terrified him so he was not completely engaged with me.

PUPDATE Kobe is being worked with by a local trainer and his assistant lately and he is doing great! He is very smart and willing to learn. He knows sit, down, heel, come and he also knows hand signals. Walks on a loose leash in a heel. Loves to play with toys and is very friendly and loves pets. He is a strong dog and will need a confident handler who can be consistent with him. We did test him with a female shepherd mix but she is not fixed and he tried to mate her and she corrected him but would not stop his advances. We will try him with a fixed female and see how that goes. He would really benefit from a foster home. Kobe came to us as a owner surrender as he killed several cats on the farm. He is a big strong dog so he will need a strong handler and someone who has the experience with a large breed. He is a 2 year old German Shepherd. and weighs about 76 pounds. He is not good with cats and he is reactive to male dogs. His intake profile says he is good with medium sized female dogs but we have not tested this yet. Also says he is gentle with young children but I would not trust him with small children with his size and strength. He is housebroken and crate trained. He did not seem to want to interact with me when I did his initial intake. He was in a new yard so there was a lot of new smells. He did however act playful and interacted with a male kennel tech so it just may be that he is better with men than women. He was used to running around on a farm and not in a fenced yard. Hes not liking the confinement of the kennels and he is starting to go a little kennel crazy. He is all ready to find his forever home.

PUPDATE: Lady went to a foster home for a bit to try her out but she did not get along with their cats or the neighbors dogs. They said she did great in the house and in the crate. She got a bath and brushed and she did good. She is a very sweet girl but needs to be the only pet in the home. Lady came in as a stray with a litter of pups as they were all very underweight. She wasn't producing any milk for the pups and was starting to get aggressive with them, probably from frustration. So she is separated from them and available. She is very quite, mellow and sweet. We think she is about 1.5-2 years old, shepherd mix. We don't know much about her except what we are learning as we go.

PUPDATE: I spent a little time with Hunter today and I was very impressed by his eagerness to learn. He can sit and shake with both paws. Very smart boy. He got excited but I just shhhhhh and he settles down. Hunter was a returned adoption as he was getting aggressive with their older small dog and their kitten. He is a very friendly dog but he is a young pup with a lot of energy. He is a little over a year old and about 57 pounds. He needs consistency, time and patience to train him to behave like the dog we know he can be. He is good with children if he is monitored as he is rambunctious and doesn't realize his size. He will need a tall secure fence as he likes to climb out when left alone. He is NOT good with cats and he will try to kill them so not kitties for this guy. We are going to try him with a med-large female dog to see how he does as he does not get along with smaller dogs. A play buddy would be great for him to get out some of his energy. He has never been around farm animals that we know of. He does good in the car, rides in the front sea, gets very excited. He is partially housetrained. Previous owners say accidents happen when he is not closely supervised, not kept on a schedule, overexcited or when the dog signals to be let out is ignored. So again, patience, consistency, watching for those signals. He would be great for a single person who wants an active hiking buddy. If you think that person is you, fill out an application and once approved we will call you and set up a meet and greet with him.

Calvin was brought in by animal control with his sister Venus as strays and sadly were never claimed. They both had a bad case of mange and they are finally growing their fur back. They are about 6 months old. Neither one has very good manners but they are young and they are very smart so should be easy to train. They are somewhat food motivated but not really sure about treats yet. I would say they are both very trainable. Not been tested with cats, kids or other dogs as of yet. He is ready to go!

PUPDATE: Venus is back here now and eagerly awaiting her forever home. She did great in her foster home. Venus is currently in a foster home and her foster says she is excellent with the 4 year old grandson and very sweet. She gets along with their dogs. She barks at the cat and she is having a hard time warming up to the men in the family. With time and patience she can learn to trust men. We are guessing she was not treated very well by them. Venus was brought in by animal control with her brother Calvin as strays and sadly were never claimed. They both had a bad case of mange and they are finally growing their fur back. They are about 6 months old and purebred German Shepherd. They have had no training so they could use some lessons in manners but very smart and willing to learn. They are somewhat food motivated but not really sure about treats yet. I would say they are both very trainable. She would make someone a very good companion. She is ready to go now!

PUPDATE: Hatchi had a special spa day at Stinker Tinker Salon and is all ready to be adopted into his forever home! Hatchi came in as a stray from the local vet after they think he was hit by a car. He had a leg injury which has healed up and he is ready to be adopted into a loving home. We think he is closer to 8 years old years and about 67 pounds. He is on hip and joint supplements. He is a sweet old man but he needs an experienced owner who knows Akita/husky. They are both a working dog breed and are not for everyone, especially a first time dog owner. Since he came in as a stray we don't know much about him and are learning about him as we go. He does have a bite history and will be explained upon request.

Uzi came in as a owner surrender with his brother Zeus as they were becoming homeless and could not take them. He is a big goofy boy with tons of energy. Loves to play and run. We don't recommend small children as he doesn't realize how big he is and he is rambunctious and could knock small children over. He loves to chase the ball but most of the time won't bring it back. He would do great with an active family who has the time for his energy and to teach him obedience training. Once he has had some Excersice he settles down nicely. In a home with a schedule and not being in a kennel would do him wonders. He is very friendly! He is about 7 months old and 60 pounds. We think he is a lab mix.

PUPDATE: Nova was in foster to adopt but sadly her new potential owner was allergic to her dander. They tried everything to make it work and sadly she had to be brought back. She is now being fostered by our receptionist as putting her back into the kennel setting would destroy everything the fosters have done to bring her out of her shell. She comes into the office daily and just hangs out under the desk. She is a very sweet girl. She is housebroken if her humans watch for her signs that she needs to go out. She will let you know. She did have a couple accidents but it was not her fault. She does like to sleep in her crate but her favorite place in on the bed with her person. She warms up to women faster than men but with time and patience she will warms up to men as well. She has been left in the house alone for awhile and is not destructive. She is a very well mannered dog. Never barks or hardly makes a peep. She gets along with every dog she has meet. She could care less about cats. She has been around chickens, cows, goats and a llama. She could care less. She is more afraid of them than anything. Has been around small and bigger dogs and gets along great. She does correct younger dogs when she has to but not in a aggressive way. She would be perfect for someone wanting a low maintenance. dog. If she spooks at something once, she learns from it and does not get scared the second time. She is super smart. She loves walks, soft comfy beds and attention. She likes to go for car rides if she can stick her head out the window. She has been off leash at her foster during the day for potty breaks and to play. She is to dark to see at night so she goes out with a leash for now. If she had a fenced yard she would be fine. I think she would be better in a home that has a confident dog so help her bring her out of her shell even more. After being with her awhile I am thinking she has German Shepherd in her as she sometimes has the shepherd stance and she is a bigger dog. Please come on down and meet her and say hello. Nova came in as a stray as a pup and adopted out then returned recently as they had to move. She was not socialized much in the home so she is shy and timid until she gets to know you. She is very sweet. She is just a year old. We think she is lab and heeler mix from what we are guessing on breed. She is currently in foster and here is what they have to say about her. The shelter really stresses her out and it took her about a month to totally decompress. She is a total sweetheart. Docile and pretty calm for only being about a year old. She does love to play if she finds a friend she can engage with. She likes all other dogs and she's just about the most agreeable happy-go-lucky dog ever. She lives with her two foster sisters and gets along well with them. Nova is potty trained and always asks to go out. At meal times, she goes right to the crate and patiently waits for her food. She has not shown any food aggression or possessiveness over toys. She would love an active lifestyle with someone who will take her hiking and/or running and on outdoor adventures. She loves toys, treats, affection, and exercise. Her favorite toys are stuffies she can disembowel and Nyla bones. She's a wonderful dog and will make someone very happy. She is a little anxious at first but warms up and will need someone with just a little patience to help her adjust to her new home. But once that happens, it will be incredibly rewarding. Also, she would like to request someone who will run with her or have room for her to run and stretch her long legs because she runs like a gazelle. Since she is in foster her meet and greet would have to be by appt only. Please fill out your application and we can set you up a meet and greet.

Snow White was recently returned as she has been getting aggressive with other dogs. We have never seen her do this but as always if you are wanting to adopt with another dog, you will need to do a meet and greet to see if they get along. She has since jumped into other dogs kennels to play several times so not sure what was going on in the previous home. May of been a female dog as she has only been with males here. Snow White came to us as a stray who had been wandering around for awhile before she finally scratched on someone's door on a cold night wanting in. She is a big sweetheart of a dog. Knows how to sit, shake, lay down and when you say BANG she falls over onto her back. She does jump up on you but we are working with her on that. Please note she is a working breed and will need plenty of Excersice and mental stimulation. Please do your research on this breed before applying.

PUPDATE! Delaney came in as a transfer from our sister shelter in The Dalles. She is a very active and energetic girl so will need an active family to keep her busy. She loves to play with toys and play tug! She is such a sweetheart. Because she can be a rough player, we do recommend no small children under 10 years old. She does not do well with other dogs and she definitely doesn't do well with cats. This little fireplug knows how to sit on cue and will benefit from learning not to jump up for attention. She loves treats and training time. We have discovered that Delaney must of been a fish in a past life because this girl just LOVES water! She will hollar at you if you are using the hose near her and not letting her play. Please research POSITIVE training techniques before applying for adoption.

He used to be very scared to come into the office and would not walk, This time he proudly walked into the office and investigated things around. We think he would just blossom once he got out of the shelter and into a loving home. He did not seem to mind the cats but he did not get that close to them, we will test him soon. Although we don't know much about his past history, we do know that he was probably not socialized with humans when he was younger but he is not aggressive in his fear behaviors. Davidson may never be a social butterfly, but he has great potential to be a wonderful family dog Davidson needs time to adjust but is friendly and loves affection, he's more like "quickly slow-to-warm-up". He is a very smart dog, very outgoing, and is looking for someone to bond with him. When he is outside in a play yard with a pal, he turns into a totally different dog! . He is loyal and looking to go to his forever home. Please research POSITIVE training techniques before applying to adopt.

Gilligan is still in Foster and this is what his foster mom has to say- Handsome, athletic, playful, sweet young dogs. Approximately 1 year old. Bonded brothers. Gilligan seems to enjoy watching TV, especially nature shows. Skipper likes a soft bed and a soft toy. Did I say sweet? Both dogs have a sweet nature. They get along well with my two dogs (border collie/aussie cross and lab/shepherd/collie mix). They can play in a group or just lounge around the house. They come when called (most of the time), walk on a leash (but get nervous in tight spaces), are learning to ride in the car. They both sit for treats and take treats gently. Have good dining manners. They are used to the noise of farm equipment, mowers, weed eaters, and traffic. Household noises do not bother them. They have good manners, They do not jump up on furniture or people. They like their crate and spend all unsupervised time in the house in the crate. They do not shed much. They enjoy romping and playing in their turn out pasture. The down side? These dogs came to the shelter afraid of everything and everyone. They have been in foster care for over six months. Even though they were VERY fearful, they never showed any aggression. They have come a long way, but are still afraid of new people and new situations. They are just beginning to be willing to approach a new person. Gilligan is the more outgoing, but still very cautious. They are more comfortable with a female, but are getting better with males. They will need a loving compassionate person who is willing to give them time to trust. Please research POSITIVE training techniques before applying to adopt.

Skipper and Gilligan came to us as very terrified puppies at about 3 months old. Both boys have been in a loving, wonderful, and patient foster home that has been working with them non stop to try and socialize them. They are really coming around but need a lot of patience and a low-traffic, home. They are about 9 months now and still very scared of almost everything but they have made progress. They do seem to bond more comfortably with females, however, their foster parent is a woman and they have now warmed up to her husband. Skipper and Gilligan need to be adopted together as they are very bonded and this will help them adjust. These pups are not for first time dog owners, they will probably always be slow to adjust to new scenarios. A confident owner will greatly help push them to success to at least be able to live comfortably in a home environment. These boys need a QUIET home with NO young children in the household. They would be great for someone that works from home or is retired. . These 2 boys had a really rough start to life and they just need a home that understands each of them. We will provide you plenty of training/reading material to help with their transition as well as a reference to a wonderful dog trainer here locally. Gilligan and Skipper will be met offsite at the foster home for the least stressful meet and greet. Please research POSITIVE training techniques before applying to adopt.
