Small Tails at One Time

Come meet your new best friend and take them home at our next adoption event.
Our next Small Tails puppy adoption event is scheduled for ‍Saturday, February 14th, from 12-2pm!
Hosted at our Adoption Center (5132 NE Sandy Blvd), available puppies are introduced to approved adopters on a first come, first served basis.
However, Worth the Wait list adopters will get priority to meet puppies before adopters who are not on the WTWL.
Spend time talking with the foster home and adoption facilitator to see if it’s a good fit. Take your new buddy home with you if it is!
Check our social media pages for upcoming events, the roster of attending dogs, or email adoptions@otatpdx.org with any questions.for
