Familiar Friend Friday means it's Will turns again!

Will enjoys quality couch cuddles and gently dismantling throw pillows before sleeping beneath them. Using pillows as blankets? Visionary behavior. If your couch is missing a resident pillow gremlin, learn more about this little gentleman: otatpdx.org/dogs/will

Sacramento went to a Sniffspot and experienced pure joy. He also experienced… whatever this haircut situation is.⁠

A groom is clearly in his future. We hope his adopters are too.

Last week we told you about Bacon Beans, our final save of 2025. He was found tied up outside a vet's office when they were closed with a host of medical needs.⁠
⁠
This week we got to meet him for ourselves and turns out you *should* meet your heroes; they can delight and surprise by being the sweetest nugget ever. ⁠
⁠
The update is that Beans' ears are looking as good as we could hope for after this much treatment under his belt. He will need to see two specialists next, a dermatologist and cardiologist, to confirm that a TECA surgery is his best bet. In the meantime, we continue his antibiotics, regular ear cleanings, and all the (hypoallergenic) treats he can handle. ⁠
⁠
Thank you all for the gifts to Beans' care. Now he IS the gift. 🎁

Francis has been monitoring the rain situation and would like you to know there are breaks today. Perfect timing, really, for a dog who is learning how to jump high to catch his ball. And did we mention that his ears flop dramatically when he walks? Plus, he’s a big fan of similarly sized playmates and adventures.⁠
⁠
According to Francis, conditions are favorable for meeting your next dog. And by next dog, he means him.

Agatha checking back in, just in case her future people missed her the first time around. She’s currently looking for a foster, foster-to-adopter, or adopter and she’s ready whenever the right match finds her.

She’s affectionate, energetic, and fully committed to being part of whatever’s happening. This athletic girl has been casually logging over four miles on jogs with her current foster, then transforming into this: the deeply relaxed, post-run queen pictured here.

If you’ve been thinking about fostering, fostering to adopt, or adding an active buddy to your life, Agatha would love to hear from you.

Pear Tree is the holiday leftover nobody’s mad about. Still cute. Still boopable. Still available for adoption (which feels like an oversight).
⁠
This puppy has been learning the ropes of home life and is doing great. An active home would suit him well. He’d also be happy with a canine sibling, so if your dog has been hoping for a roommate, Pear Tree is ready to apply.⁠

At least there’s one good thing about a Monday: Happy Tails! And we’re so back with Happy Tails Monday. The humans took a short break. The dogs did not.⁠
⁠
While we stepped away to reset, these pups went ahead and found their way to the Good Life anyhow (thanks to our amazing volunteers). So we’re catching up on a few more Happy Tails that happened over break. What a way to return!
⁠
Congrats to Partridge, Tinsel, Reptar, and Max Mayfield, all officially starting 2026 in the Good Life. 💙

When it’s back to work and the Mondayiest Monday ever. Karl would like to suggest today is actually Jan. 1 and still considered the holidays cause this ball ain’t gonna throw itself.
