🌟Meet BJ: Handsome, pet and kid friendly, and those ears!🌟

Hi there! My name is BJ, and I’m a 10-year-old bundle of joy who’s ready to find my forever home. People always stop to admire my adorable face and those “Dumbo-like” ears—I’ve got a fan club wherever I go! Despite my age, I’m full of energy and love life to the fullest.

Here are some fun facts about me:

🌟 Dog Park Superstar: I’m a morning regular at the dog park, where I greet everyone—two-legged and four-legged alike—with a wagging tail. (Check out my video!)
🌟 Cat-Approved: I get along with my foster cat brother, although he says I’m a bit nosey (it’s true—I like to know everything that’s going on).
🌟 Active Companion: I’d love a big backyard and as many walks as you’re willing to take me on. I’m walking 5-10 miles a day right now and loving every step!
🌟 Herding Dog at Heart: As part heeler, I’m loyal to a fault and will follow you everywhere. Watch your step—I’m always by your side!

💡 What You Should Know:

I’m a happy guy, but I can be anxious sometimes (especially in the car). With a little patience and some Trazodone for longer rides, I’ll be just fine.

I have Lyme disease in its “chronic” form, but my vet says it’s not a big deal. Regular yearly checkups will keep me healthy.

I bark when I see or hear something, but that’s just me being a good watchdog.

🏠 My Dream Home:
I’d thrive in a home with a big yard, an active lifestyle, and lots of love to share. If you’ve got visitors, I’ll be the life of the party—bringing my toys and sharing my joy with everyone. At night, I’ll snuggle up and sleep soundly right by your side.

If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and loving companion, I’m your guy! Let’s make this holiday season the start of our forever adventure. ❤️

🚨 140 Pounds of Love Looking for a Forever Couch… I Mean Home 🛋️

Hey, it’s me, Duster! Still here, still fabulous, and still looking for my forever family! I’m an almost 6-year-old, 140 lb Weimaraner, which is just a fancy way of saying “big ol’ lovable goofball.”

Here’s why you should swipe right on me:
🌳 Outdoor Enthusiast: Got a backyard? Great. Got a BIG backyard? Even better. Got snacks? Now we’re talking!

👩‍👧‍👦 Family Guy: Kids? Love ‘em. Cats? Cool with me. Other dogs? Bring it on. I’m basically the social butterfly of the animal world.

🚗 Car Ride Connoisseur: Want a dog who’s down for road trips? I’ll be your copilot (but you’re buying the snacks).

🏠 House-Ready Hunk: Crate-trained, leash-savvy, and I know the command “kennel” (although I might pretend I didn’t hear it if you’re holding a treat).

I do get a little excited when new people visit—what can I say, I’m popular! But with a bit of patience and some calm introductions, I’ll settle right in and show off my sweet, smart, and slightly goofy side.

So, what do you say? Adopt me, and I promise to fill your life with love, laughter, and just the right amount of slobber.

P.S. Please share—I’m too handsome to keep a secret!

🌟 Meet Chloe – Your New Snuggle Sidekick! 🌟

Hi friends! I’m Chloe, a sweet and sassy 10-year-old Chihuahua, weighing just 14 pounds of pure love and devotion. 💕

Here’s the deal:
🐾 I’ve had a tough time after losing my two owners, and I’m ready to settle into a forever home where I can enjoy my golden years with lots of love and snuggles. 🛋️

🐾 I’m an indoor-outdoor explorer, and yes, I can handle stairs like a pro! I even take Cosequin to keep my joints feeling spry.

🐾 Snuggling? That’s my superpower. I’d love to cuddle with my new human every night—you bring the blanket, and I’ll bring the warmth.

🐾 I’d do best with retired humans or someone who works from home because being left alone isn’t my vibe.

🐾 My favorite hobby? Running around outside like the little dynamo I am! I can be a bit protective of my food, but hey, who doesn’t like to guard their snacks?

🐾 I haven’t met many cats or dogs, but honestly? I’m kind of into the idea of being your one and only princess. 👑

If you’re ready for a tiny bundle of love to brighten your days and snuggle your nights, I’m your girl. Let’s make it official!

🐾 Meet Molly – Queen of Snuggles and Snacks! 🐾

Hello everyone! I’m Molly, a sweet 12-year-old Basset Hound with lots of love to give! ❤️

Here’s a little about me:

Weight: 75 lbs of pure snuggle magic.

Ideal Home: I’d thrive as an only dog—it’s just me and you, best friends for life!

Health: I’m on medication for anxiety and arthritis, plus I had surgery on my back leg. But don’t worry, I’m staying comfy and ready for adventures.

Personality: I’m a laid-back sweetheart who loves walks, sniffing everything, and soaking up the sun. I’ve lived with older kids, but I’d prefer no little ones running around.

I’m a quiet girl who rarely barks, loves food, and promises endless snuggles and companionship.

If you’re looking for a forever pup to fill your home with love and joy, I’m your girl! 🐕💕

📩 Interested? Fill out an application via our website.

🐾 Meet Pippa: The Ultimate Senior Snooze Queen & Sassy Walker 🐾

Hi there, I’m Pippa! At a dignified 10 years old, I’ve mastered the fine arts of napping and leisurely strolls. Sure, I may not be into the whole “run and fetch” thing, but I will absolutely rock a cozy nap next to you on the couch (or anywhere, honestly… I’m not picky).

Here’s the deal:
🎾 I enjoy a good walk, but let’s keep it classy. No marathon training here – a stroll around the neighborhood will do!
👀 New people and places? Eh, I’m not super into surprises. But give me some time, and I’ll show you my softer side!
🐱 Cats and small critters? Hard pass. They just don’t get my vibe.
🏡 I’m looking for a mellow home, preferably one where I can rule my new kingdom with minimal commotion.

Oh, and did I mention I’m part of the Diamond in the Ruff program? It’s like we get a little trial period to make sure we’re both fully on board with the Pippa lifestyle. If you’re looking for a furry best friend who appreciates a calm night in and the occasional slow walk, you may have just met your match! 🐾 ❤️

Pippa is available at Oregon Humane Society - Salem Campus. If you are interested in Pippa you can learn more about her and how to arrange to meet her through her adoption page at: https://www.oregonhumane.org/adopt/details/311820/
