Our friends with in LA asked if we could take another group of pups to free up space for animals that have been displaced by the fires recently, and of course we said yes! Thanks to and the help of some trusted volunteers who were willing to drive some distance, 7 good dogs, including the 3 cuties here, are on their way to Portland after landing in Seattle this afternoon! We will share more about this group when they get here, but for now we are pleased to introduce Bonzo, Cabasa and Bongo 💙

01/24/2025

We don’t know who the branch manager and assistant branch managers are here, but we do know that Howdy, Aggie and Bolo are Bevo’s precious puppies and their fosters were mighty brave to welcome all three. These babies will find their adopters via our Worth the Wait List. If you know you for sure want to adopt a puppy in particular, we recommend signing up. And if you want a puppy fix without the full time commitment, fostering is a great way to compromise.

For those in Portland who caught that magical sunset tonight, this Sunset is just as amazing. Somehow managing to be the most serious goofball, Sunset is sweet, social, a total love and a total character. Go to the end to see Sunny still at the shelter and know that all the photos before it couldn’t have happened without your support. From a foster being willing to welcome him to anyone who’s ever donated, thanks for giving a big dog the chance to show us what a good boy he is. Next up: adopters! 🌅

01/22/2025

Beverly is concerned — what do you meeeaaannn a 24 hour fundraiser?! Do I have to be awake that long???

No, baby Bev, you don’t have to be; but we will! Swipe for details or visit otatpdx.org/drumathon to learn all about the Janet Weiss Drumathon starting Tuesday 1/28 at 4pm. We’re going a full rotation of earth to save more LA dogs like Beverly here.

So tune in, turn out, enter the raffles and join us in what is sure to be a day and night (and then day again) to remember. 🥁

We’re still basking in the glow of Saturday’s All Tails. A few more from that magical day, this time the ~professional~ shots by .photo. Thank you to all those who joined in kicking off our 2025 adoption events with a bang. 🎉

01/20/2025

The first All Tails of 2025 was one for the books! Y’all started the year off with a bang by showing *up* yesterday on a sunny Saturday. It resulted in 9 out of 11 dogs going home with adopters — and 9 out of 10 of the ones there in person! We couldn’t be happier for all of our LA dogs at the event, Dodger, Griffith, and Hollywood (not pictured) as well as babies Primrose, Pinto, Brisket, Ladybird, Bevo and Dr. Pepper. Special thanks to and Griffith’s foster for featuring his story. Now to find the remaining All Tails attendees, Odie and Noble, their matches. Swipe to the end to see Noble hanging with a bevy of kids like a pro. Apply for these two and you won’t have to wait till our next All Tails to meet them.

01/18/2025

Dodger is another LA Animal Services sweetheart who was brought here so he wasn’t taking up precious kennel space that was needed for those displaced by the fires. His gentle presence and playful demeanor sells everyone he meets, while his perfect medium size is the cherry on top. We’re about to kick off our first All Tails at One Time adoption event of the year and can’t wait to see who goes home first. Rooting for Dodger and all the dogs equally — go Dodge, go!

01/18/2025

Griffith is one of the dogs we have our fingers extra crossed he goes home today. Also one of the dogs we welcomed last weekend from LA Animal Services in order to make room for the displaced animals, Griffith is sweet as the day is long. It was the videos of him undeterred in making friends then chilling in his kennel that sold us, and those were anything but false advertising. Today may be your day, bud!

01/18/2025

Happy All Tails to all those who celebrate! Bevo and her buds are ready to meet their matches and complete the final step of getting into the good life. This beauty was one of the dogs found in the heartbreaking hoarding situation you helped with during Giving Tuesday. She wasn’t quite ready to travel in December but with our commitment and ’s unwillingness to give up, we gave her the time she needed to be ready. Making her way here last week, Bevo has blossomed in foster and now is ready for what’s next.

The event begins at noon and goes until 2pm or all the dogs get adopted. Approved adopters will be introduced to dogs on a first come first serve basis until we get it right. Don’t have an approved app, or aren’t sure? Come in anyway and we can figure it out, it just may take longer! Thank you to those who did apply for having extra patience with our team — we received 3 times as many applications as usual! Now we want to get all of you dogs to adopt and hope it’s these amazing babies right here 🤞🏽

01/18/2025

Dr. Pepper will be at All Tails tomorrow and only wants to be sure that even if his new adopters rename him that he will still be able to keep his title. He didn’t put himself through 8 years of school for nothin. This dog and human social guy is the perfect medium size and is easy as he is smart. Come down to our adoption center to meet him and all our All Tails dogs starting at noon — it’s just what the doctor ordered.

01/17/2025

Our first All Tails of the year is THIS SATURDAY 1/18 12-2pm and it has maybe our best lineup yet. We don’t even say that every time! …ok yes we do but we really mean it you guys. Come meet sweet mama Bevo and some of her Texas friends from . We also have 3 of our newest saves from LA Animal Services, welcoming dogs who’d been there pre-fires in order to make room for displaced animals. You might also recognize a familiar friend — handsomest bubba Noble is back and ready to try again. We can’t wait to see what adoption matches happen and who goes home with some lucky humans. Wouldn’t it be amazing if it was all of them? 🥹 let’s see if can.

New LA adoptable Hollywood (right) and her foster brother Fig have just one question: where’s second breakfast? Three days in and Hollywood is truly a star, with the only issue so far being that you can’t make eye contact with her or be out of sight for too long unless you want her to immediately start wiggling. We know, baby girl, being in a home is simply tewww cool ⭐️
