Greta

Breed: American Pitbull/Mix

Gender: Female

Age: Adult

Hello, my name is Greta! Like lounging on the couch after a steady walk? We might be a great match! I am a mature lady who still has a get up and go attitude. My new family will be sure to fall in love with my charming personality! They should be able to provide me with regular flea control to make sure my hair grows back nice and healthy. My shelter friends don't know much about my skills with other dogs but think a respectful dog and a slow introduction may be okay. I have some health concerns that aren't uncommon in older gals like me: I have a limp and some lumps and bumps, the most concerning of which have been removed. I'd love the opportunity to spend the rest of my days in a happy, loving home. I am around 12 years old and weigh 60 pounds. GRETA is currently in foster care. Contact my foster mom, at [email protected] or 503-544-5684 for more information and to set up a time to meet me!

Itty Bitty

Breed: Chihuahua/Unspecified

Gender: Female

Age: Young

Hi there, my shelter name is Itty Bitty. I'm a 1.5 years old old and only weigh 5.4 pounds. I need to be on leash when I am outside or I'll get blown away by the wind. I am very timid so the shelter is recommending a home without kids or I'll be so scared I'll run & hide. The shelter person who assessed me could pick me up but I wasn't comfortable to go up to him. He told me that in a quiet home with patient people I'll be just fine.

Maisy

Breed: Rabbit/Dwarf

Gender: Female

Age: Young

Hi! My name is Maisy. I am currently in foster care, getting used to a home environment. Please contact my foster Mom at 503-544-3420 for more information. I am a young female rabbit with a unique look. I am probably a lion head/dwarf rabbit mix and will stay petite. I am social with people and litterbox trained. I don't mind being picked up, especially if it means time in my playpen where I can hop and stretch. I am curious about other animals in my foster home, so may do well with a respectful cat, gentle dog or a male bunny. I will be spayed and microchipped before going home with you. To find out more about bunny care and body language visit: rabbitadvocates.org - a site with lots of excellent rabbit information. If I seem like the pet for you, call my foster Mom today!

Myst

Breed: British Shorthair/Mix

Gender: Female

Age: Adult

Myst is a gorgeous 6 yr old, spayed kitty who is currently in foster care. If you would like to learn more about her, please contact her foster mom, Elisha, at [email protected] or (503) 890-2894. Myst is a bit of a shy lady. She loves to be around people, but doesn't like any sudden movements or fast grabbing toward her, and doesn't like to be picked up. She lights up when people come in the room, and will come to you if you don't push her. She is very affectionate once she has warmed up to you. She purrs loud, and will lie down beside you as long as you will sit next to her. She would do best in a calm home with kids 10 and older or no kids. She likes to sleep up high in a cat tree or in a window perch. She would prefer to be the only feline in the household. She's independent, loves her toy mouse that squeaks, her feather toy on a stick, and wet food. She is very food and treat motivated. She's a foodie, and a toy hoarder, and also doesn't mind if you give her a little baby sized blanket to sleep with. Ask about Myst today!

Wayne

Breed: Chihuahua/Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Hey! The name is Wayne. I sure am a handsome fella, don't you think? I am a 2 year old chihuahua mix that weighs 11 lbs. I have been a bit shy at the shelter, but have become quite the sweet guy with staff members I trust. Ask them, and they'll tell you how awesome my cuddling skills are! I would really enjoy a nice, quiet home with no kids under 10. I am cute and can be friendly, but little kids moving too fast make me nervous! If you like what you see, and want to know more, come down to meet me. You'll be glad you did!
