Available Dogs
All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and currently living in a foster home. To apply for someone you see here, fill out our adoption survey.
The compatibility filters below display dogs who have demonstrated dog/cat/kid friendliness during their stay in a foster home. However, many of our dogs may also do well and just haven’t had the exposure yet.

Just a brief disclaimer that we try to keep this page as current as possible, but there is sometimes a brief lag in updating bio info, moving dogs to Happy Tails once adopted, etc. We appreciate your patience and grace around this!

Adopt, Don’t Shop
We appreciate that so many members of our community would like to adopt a dog from us. We would love nothing more than to be the source connecting all of you with your new best friend. We also encourage the adoption of dogs from the following places:
Multnomah County Animal Services
Southwest Washington Humane Society
Clackamas County Dog Services
Humane Society of Central Oregon
Remember: not all rescues are created equal. Research when looking to adopt and only support reputable shelters or organizations. Here are some common characteristics we’ve found in those doing it right:
501c3 nonprofit
Provides thorough medical screening and basic care before adoption
Spays/neuters
Will take the dog back at any time for any reason
Does a thorough adoption screening and match
Does not overcommit to animals they do not have the resources to support
Uses humane, science-based behavior and veterinary practices
Commits to transparency in actions and business practices
We believe buying an animal from a breeder or private person is never a good idea when there are thousands still killed each year in this country alone. We know that any kind of dog can be found through rescue, and every kind of dog is a good dog who deserves a chance.
