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.

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.
