Birdie - 75081


Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 3 people

Name: Birdie  Code Number: 75081  Date Available: 8/10/2009   Adoption Fee: $85

Breed: Australian Shepherd/Mix     Pattern: Merle     Color: Merle/Not Specified

Gender: Female     Age:   3 Yr     Weight: 41.5 lbs.     Location: Foster -


FOSTER: Birdie is a sweet and loving dog who is searching for a quiet home with very patient and experienced owners to help her adjust to her new life. She arrived at OHS with a group of 125 dogs rescued from a neglect case in Burns, Oregon. Birdie is nervous around people and does best when you sit patiently and wait for her to come to you. She has lived with other dogs in her foster home and would appreciate another calm canine companion to help build her confidence and teach her the ropes. The root of Birdie's shyness is her lack of socialization. It is going to take time to earn her trust and love, but Birdie's foster family has made great progress. Birdie loves to go on daily walks, although she sometimes is still frightened by new things. Her foster family just loves Birdie's spirit and although sometimes progress has been slow it is steady (and helped along with her favorite snack, Cheese!). If you are interested in learning more from Birdie's foster family, please contact them at jhonse at opus-solutions.com

Pepsi - 79889


Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 1 person

Name: Pepsi  Code Number: 79889  Date Available: 11/16/2009   Adoption Fee: $85

Breed: Border Collie/Mix     Pattern: Black     Color: Black/Ticked

Gender: Male     Age:   6 Yr, 2 Mo     Weight: 53.1875 lbs.     Location: Dog Yellow Pod - 3


Pepsi is a calm and gentle boy. He is looking for a patient and understanding family who will work on his housetraining issues. Pepsi has been in and out of various shelters and homes and each time it gets harder and harder for him to adjust. He does have some housetraining problems and possible urinary incontinence that his adopters must be willing to deal with. He is so affectionate and sweet that it is easy to look past these issues and we hope someone with a kind heart can. He has a good history with other animals and shows nothing but love to everyone he meets. Pepsi would choose pets over treats any day. He can be a very picky eater and his owners may need to make sure that Pepsi is eating properly because he is very thin. A medical and training consult is included with his adoption.

Samson is a special dog here at OHS. He was rescued from a neglect situation which has left him with the inability to look up. Because Samson cannot see who is coming, he does tend to bark and sometimes growl. He has not shown any signs of aggression here. Sampson loves to be held and makes a great lap dog. He is happy, kind and in need of a home that will last forever. His new family needs to be understanding of his needs.

Meet Titan! He is a special needs boy looking for a special home to settle into. Titan came to OHS from the Humane Society of Eastern Oregon as a part of our second chance adoption program.

He will need to find an adult only home, as children will tend to scare him. Both medical and training consultations are included with his adoption.
