Last week’s puppy séance was cancelled due to… mysterious forces. But fear not, the Addams Family has returned from the beyond (foster) to try again. 🕯️⁠
⁠
Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, and Wednesday will be at our Adoption Center this Saturday (11/2) from 10:15AM–3:30PM.⁠
⁠
Last time, the spirits told them to wait. This time, they’ve got unfinished business… and adoption applications. Come by and let them haunt your dreams and maybe your home, too.

Some boo baskets are full of trinkets and treats; ours come stuffed with adoptable dogs. And inside is sweeter than candy: Soul Love, Rebel Rebel, Oleo, Computer Blue, Angel Angel Grubby Face, and Grover. 🎃 They come in assorted sizes and are even more delightful than chocolate.

⁠
These “Spirit of Adoption” dogs have been in foster for 30+ days, which means their adoption fees are sponsored at $100. Unlike the costumes at the store, these dogs come fully assembled—love included and batteries not required.

Grover’s hobbies include sticking his tongue out for dramatic effect and interrupting important conversations with pleading eyes. He’s also available for adoption, which feels like either a gift or an oversight by whoever’s in charge of luck, depending on who you ask.

Birch is cute inside and out — both literally and figuratively. She’s mastered the art of the polite sit in every setting, from outdoor walks to indoor snack negotiations during photoshoots.⁠
⁠
She’ll be at our Adoption Center this Friday (10/31) from 2:30–6:30PM or until somebody takes her home.

This boy was originally adopted in May, and is now back with us looking for adopters, fosters, or fosters-to-adopters and all he asks is for no young kiddos, please.⁠
⁠
He’s excellent cuddler and adventure enthusiast who plays well with other medium-sized dogs. Come say hi! otatpdx.org/dogs/frances
