Meet Finnley, our newest little work-from-home consultant.⁠
⁠
She’ll curl up beside you during meetings, get you outside for a walk when your legs forget how to leg, and remind you that snack time is necessary to productivity. Quiet, playful, eager to please and simply delightful, Finnley is the definition of good company -- even if she didn't get the memo about sleeping in on Saturdays.

Fashion is beginning her weekend by lying face-down in the kitchen. Whatever she’s doing, it feels therapeutic to us.

Familiar Friend Friday featuring Queso!⁠
⁠
He is the handsomest little shadow you’ll ever meet. Curious about everything you’re doing, quick to make friends, and even quicker to climb directly into any lap despite weighing roughly the same as a bag of cement. It’s fine.⁠
⁠
This big guy is outright funny, loves his enrichment puzzles, and is a certified bedtime crate champ. His current foster put it best: “He’s such a great guy and of course words can’t fully describe the depth of his character.”⁠
⁠
Once an OTAT dog, always an OTAT dog — and this good boy is ready for his next chapter.

This is Fashion. She saw the leaves and said, run the editorial. There are angles; there is presence. She *is* fall fashion. And there is the opportunity to adopt her.

Steve and Dustin arrived earlier this week from after the shelter announced they were housing over 103 dogs in a space meant for 92. Thanks to fosters stepping up, Steve and his brother are learning about home life instead of shelter life.⁠
⁠
We rely entirely on our foster network. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to welcome any of our dogs from overcrowded shelters. If you’ve got time, space, or even simply Wi-Fi, there’s a way to help.⁠
⁠
Fostering, adopting, volunteering, donating, and sharing the word for your local shelters and rescues all adds up to make a real difference.

Glitter/Billie will be visiting the Adoption Center this Thursday, Nov 13, from 2:30–6:30PM and is very proud of her recent enrichment project. She is currently exploring mixed media; today’s medium was paper. She’s happy to answer any follow-up questions during her visit.⁠
⁠
If you’re looking for an arts and crafts companion, she's available to adopt. Come meet her while she’s here.

Rebel Rebel has settled into foster life beautifully. He naps on the couch with the resident dogs, joins in their play wrestling when invited, then returns to his true calling: being right up next to his foster human at all times, always ready for a snack.⁠
⁠
More of a simple man with simple needs than a true rebel.⁠ Adopt this little guy if he sounds like the addition your home has been missing. → otatpdx.org/dogs/rebelrebel
