❤️ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ❤️ Meet Conan, a one-year-old handsome brindle boy bursting with charm and endless love to give! This sweetheart loves people and is always ready for playtime. He’s all about spreading happiness and will have you smiling in no time.

Conan is not only affectionate but also incredibly smart and eager to learn. He’d thrive with someone who enjoys training and building a strong bond with their pup.

He’s a social butterfly who would love having a playful canine companion, but would also do well as a solo pet. Running, chasing, and wrestling are his favorite things to do, followed by a cozy nap to recharge. Conan is always ready for an adventure and would make a fantastic addition to an active family.

While he’s great with people, very small kids might not be the best match since his big energy could accidentally knock them over. Conan is ready to bring endless love and fun to his forever home!

Conan is up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered and microchipped. He is in a foster home in Eugene, OR

❤️ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ❤️ Meet Mochi! At just 5 months old, he’s looking for his forever home, and if you’re lucky enough to meet him, you’ll see why he’s so special. He is quite honestly, the PERFECT GSD puppy. Mochi’s extremely friendly, loving, and a total sweetheart who’s great with everyone, from kids to adults. He is a quiet, very well-mannered puppy!

Mochi’s top love language is cuddling. He’s all about being close to his humans (and his doggie foster sibling too). He’ll lean on you for pets, shower you with kisses, and is the perfect lap dog. Whether you’re chilling on the couch or just walking around the house, he’ll be right there beside you, soaking up all the affection.

Mochi is a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs. He’s been around tons of dogs and plays well with all of them - he’s submissive to bigger dogs and respectful of boundaries. He’s got a playful streak and can run, wrestle, and chase with the best of them.

If you’re looking for a pup who walks like a champ on a leash, Mochi is your guy. He also knows several basic commands: sit, come, break (command to eat his food), off (from the counter), and is learning “down”, “stay” and “leave-it”. He’s food motivated and eager to please, so training has been a breeze. True to his breed, he’s a smart boy, so with patience and consistency, he’ll continue to blossom into the perfect companion.

Mochi is still a puppy, which means he has energy and needs plenty of exercise. He’s playful, active, and loves going on walks and adventures, but also has a chill side. When it’s time to settle down, he’s the sweetest little snuggler. Mochi’s very smart, affectionate, and just the right balance of goofy and calm. He’s a loyal companion and will follow you around the house just to be near you.

He is up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered and microchipped! He is in a foster home in Troutdale, OR.

❤️ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ❤️ Get ready to hear all about the ultimate cuddle bug...Levi! Levi is a 2-year old pit bull with a heart of gold and a personality that’s impossible not to love. Whether you’re familiar or a stranger, Levi’s excitement knows no bounds - he’ll greet you with a wagging tail and a big, goofy grin. It’s impossible not to smile when he’s around - his personality is magnetic. He’s been incredibly sweet and friendly with everyone he’s met so far, and although we haven’t tested him with kids, we think he’d do great with children, especially once he gets a little more training to control his jumping (he’s just so happy to see you!). He might be a bit much for very young kids or elderly folks, as he’s a strong boy who sometimes forgets his size when he’s excited.

Levi currently lives with two strong-willed female dogs and does great with them. He loves playing with his cattle dog housemate, and he’s always excited to meet new dogs and eager to make new friends. He hasn’t been tested with cats, so we’re not sure how he’d react, but he’s been great with other dogs so far.

He loves his walks but does need a bit of leash training, especially when he spots another dog or critter he wants to say hi to. He’s a little mouthy when he’s excited and loves to play by mouthing arms and clothes, but he’s learning to dial it back.

Levi has a lot of love to give, and he’s got a lot of energy to burn! He enjoys running, playing, and wrestling with other dogs, but he’s equally happy to flop down for a nap or snuggle up for some one-on-one time. His energy is balanced with plenty of moments of sweetness, and he loves to be close to his people. He’ll curl right up on your lap or snuggle in bed with you if you let him - he’s all about that affection!

Levi’s ideal home is a loving family or individual who can provide him with the training and structure he needs. He’d do well with another dog to play with, and as long as you’re patient with his training (and strong enough to handle his enthusiasm), Levi will be an amazing, loyal companion.

Levi is up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered and microchipped. He is currently being fostered in Portland, OR.

❤️ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ❤️ Meet Zoey, the sweetest 1-year-old husky who is sure to steal your heart! Zoey might start out a bit shy with new faces, but give her just a few minutes (especially if there are kids around), and she’ll be all tail wags and smiles, ready to soak up all the belly rubs. She’s an absolute gem with kids and adores family life.

This girl has energy to spare! Zoey loves adventure, whether it’s a walk, a run, or a playful game of chase with her dog friends. She’s got that young husky spirit - full of life and curiosity. She’s great with all dogs big and small, but she is very playful and wouldn’t be well-suited for a dog who doesn’t like to play. Zoey’s also a big-time snuggler, always ready to roll over for a belly rub and nudge you for attention. She’s still learning her basic commands and some puppy manners (she’s a gentle jumper!), but she’s incredibly eager to please and packed with love to give. There isn’t a toy or treat that she doesn’t like.

Zoey would thrive in an active home with kids or another playful dog sibling. She’ll blossom in a setting where she can enjoy plenty of attention and all the belly rubs and love she deserves. If you’re ready for an affectionate, goofy, energetic pup who will fill your home with joy, Zoey is your girl!

Zoey is up-to-date on all vaccinations, spayed & microchipped. She is currently being fostered in Milwaukie, OR.

Our next adoption update is Aster, formerly known as Zeke/Murphy! He was one of our shortest foster residents - he captured the heart of an adopter soon after becoming available! From the City of Stockton Animal Services Center to Oregon, this sweetheart landed the perfect forever home. The last photo is the cutest 🥰. From his mama:

“He is the best dog and now actually likes going in the car. He is crate-trained and walking on his leash well (when the dogs aren’t all tangled up). He is very sweet with my mom and the people at her assisted living facility love him.” ❤️

We’re very behind on our adoption updates, and the first one we’d like to share is sweet Kevin! Kevin was formerly known as Shrek at Stanislaus Animal Services, and he was on their euthanasia list. Look at him now! He’s best friends with their Great Dane, loves their kids and gets so excited for snow. 🥰

***COURTESY POST*** Wally is a vibrant and affectionate 6-year-old Labradoodle looking for a forever home! He thrives on activity and interaction, making him the perfect companion for someone with an active lifestyle. Wally is also a cuddle bug who enjoys snuggling up with his humans.

Wally adores playtime with other dogs and people, and would do best in a home with another playful dog. Wally’s friendly nature extends to everyone he meets - he is excellent with men, women and children. He’s a social butterfly who greets the world with enthusiasm, sometimes expressing his excitement with a happy bark or two. NO APARTMENT living for Wally. He needs a fenced backyard to run and play.

One of Wally’s standout qualities is his impeccable behavior during car rides, making him an ideal traveler for adventures near and far. He would make an incredible hiking buddy.

Wally is neutered and current on all vaccinations. He is located in Portland, OR. Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in Wally.

💛 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 💛 Introducing Dazzle, a beautiful, petite 3-year-old German Shepherd who’s ready to light up your life and be your adventure buddy! She is incredibly sweet and bouncy, and always eager to shower her foster parents with kisses. It’s hard to hide a smile when Dazzle is around.

Companionship is important for Dazzle. She loves to be around you and will lean on you to say hello. She enjoys a good cuddle session, but prefers to shower you with kisses. She is a high-energy girl who thrives on daily walks, backyard romps, and would make a wonderful hiking or running partner. An active home is a must.

Dazzle has two active foster sisters and enjoys romping around with them during group walks and playtime. She’s curious about other dogs she meets on walks, but she’s all about spreading the love and is more interested in saying a friendly hello than anything else.

Dazzle is very intelligent and has mastered “sit” and “halt”. She is currently learning “heel” and “here”. Her strong motivation for treats makes her a wonderful candidate for someone who enjoys training.

Dazzle hasn’t had direct interaction with cats, but she seems intrigued when she sees them and keeps her distance. We suspect she could be fine with cats with slow introductions. We also suspect that given her smaller stature for a GSD, and loving, sweet personality, she would be good with dog-savvy kids as well.

If you’re ready to embark on a lifetime of fun and excitement with a loving companion by your side, Dazzle is your girl!

Dazzle is up-to-date on all vaccinations, spayed and microchipped! She is in a foster home in Newberg, OR.

🖤 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 🖤 Time to gush about Louie - a loving, social 2-year-old Siberian Husky who would make a great adventure buddy because he is off-leash trained!

Louie is a true social butterfly. He absolutely adores people and craves their attention and affection. Whether he’s at the dog park or meeting strangers, he’s always ready to make friends and play. Speaking of play, Louie is a total goofball who loves nothing more than a good chase with dogs of all sizes. Louie’s favorite toys are balls, which he’ll happily toss around for himself.

Louie’s not just all about dogs—he’s proven to be good with cats, too. He is curious but cautious, and keeps his distance without showing any signs of a prey drive towards cats.

When it’s time to wind down, Louie is a pro at entertaining himself. Whether he’s in his crate or free-roaming the house, he’ll happily play with toys or catch some Z’s. He is crated often during the day and sometimes at night just for structure. He prefers the floor over couches when given the freedom to choose. When it comes to training, this boy knows a lot of commands! He’s mastered sit, lay down, stop, come, leave it, up/down, speak, shake and off. He has good recall when his name is called.

Louie is a cuddle bug at heart. He loves nothing more than snuggling up with you, leaning against you or sitting by your feet. He isn’t pushy about it, but if invited, he will lay next to you. He’s the dog who will come and rest his head on you and give you a reassuring look when he senses you need it most. It is very comforting to be around him.

Louie is a talker and makes a lot of eye contact with his person to read the room. He likes to match others’ energy. For a husky, he walks well with a regular collar - he will walk a bit in front of you but does not pull or charge.

Louie is up-to-date on all vaccinations, microchipped and is waiting for his neuter appointment (he will be neutered prior to being adopted). He is in a foster home in Incline Village, NV.

💙 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 💙 Meet Chandler, an exceptionally sweet and well-mannered 1-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix! He is an absolute gem around adults, kids and other dogs. He’s playful yet submissive, and displays wonderful manners, even patiently waiting his turn when it’s time to eat. Around other dogs, he likes to follow the leader. He has an incredible personality and is very obedient.

When it comes to cuddles, Chandler loves to put his head on your lap and sit right next to you on the couch. He also has a wonderful independent side and is perfectly content relaxing by himself.

Chandler is a bit shy around new faces but warms up quickly, and when he does he loves affection. He is calm when left alone and is not destructive or anxious. Chandler walks well on a leash. He has a medium-high energy level and is always ready to play, although he is not opposed to relaxing.

Chandler is a youthful soul with a heart full of love to give. He has a quirkiness about him that you can’t help but adore. His sweet, playful demeanor would be perfect for an active family with another dog in the home.

Chandler is up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered and microchipped!

Another senior adoption update! Millie (fka Cotton) arrived to Stanislaus Animal Services as an owner surrender several months ago because they were moving. 🙄 I’ll never understand how anyone could have the heart to let this sweet, 8-year old girl go, but I’m glad they did, because it led her to her adoptive mom who loves her unconditionally. 💕 Millie enjoys chasing balls, butt scratches, and soaking up attention. Now, she gets to embrace her golden years here in Oregon! ❤️🌲
