Bosco - 65467

Name: Bosco  Code Number: 65467  Date Available: 9/12/2008   Adoption Fee: $55

Breed: Labrador     Pattern: Chocolate     Color: Chocolate/Not Specified

Gender: Male     Age:   7 Yr, 1 Mo     Weight: 71.5 lbs.     Location: Foster -

Bosco is a loyal, well behaved love bug of a dog. He's well adjusted, knows basic commands (sit, stay, down), is potty trained and walks well on a leash. He gets along with other dogs, but is possessive of his ball or toys. He LOVES to play fetch and he LOVES the spray from a hose. Both you and he will get wet! He is not an overly athletic dog, but LOVES to go for walks and while in foster care he has walked as far as 3 miles. When he gets home from a walk he just wants to lie down in his pool and relax. He is afraid of gunshot noises, so he would not make a good hunting dog. Bosco is fine when left alone and is excited to greet you when you get back. He does not like cats and will not be adopted to a home with cats or other small animals. Bosco can be mouthy when playing, so a home with older children would be best. Bosco is a healthy and happy dog except for his Cushing's disease which was discovered by the OHS medical team. His condition is now managed and he is ready to find his forever home. Cushing's is a condition in which the adrenal gland creates too many steroids, and once diagnosed, Cushing's is very easily treated; Bosco takes a pill every other day. This boy has been in our care for a long time, and is looking forward to finding a permanent place, with room for a baby pool and a new best friend who knows how to throw a tennis ball.
 

Cotton - 72444

Name: Cotton  Code Number: 72444  Date Available: 5/12/2009   Adoption Fee: $85

Breed: American Pit Bull     Pattern: White     Color: White/Not Specified

Gender: Male     Age:   2 Yr     Weight: 60 lbs.     Location: Dog Red Pod - 57

Hello, my name is Cotton. I'm a one-and-a-half-year-old DEAF American Pit Bull Terrier. I am very smart and eager to please. I know several hand signals and I am eager to learn more. I am very high energy and would benefit from an active family that can give me plenty of exercise. I would prefer to be the only dog in the household because I like being spoiled with sharing. A trainer is on staff to help you understand my uniqueness consult is included with my adoption to help you with my deafness. Due to my high energy level and the fact that I've never lived with cats, I cannot go home with cats.
 

Gretchen - 63092

Name: Gretchen  Code Number: 63092  Date Available: 3/16/2009   Adoption Fee: $35

Breed: Hound/Mix     Pattern: Tan     Color: Tan/White

Gender: Female     Age:   12 Yr, 2 Mo     Weight: 61 lbs.     Location: Dog Yellow Pod - 9

Gretchen is a mellow-tempered older girl. She is in need of a home that will allow her time to settle and become part of the family. She has been through a lot in the past few months. She was brought to OHS from another shelter and was adopted out for a short period of time before she was returned. She was originally surrendered as a stray, and the most recent guardians didn't realize the needs of an older dog. Gretchen will require several months to acclimate to her new home--previously she was confined outside to the doghouse and garage and never had a chance to adapt to the family. She will do best in a home were she can be inside close to her pack, a home with no cats and lots of love and time. Older children are highly advised and if you have a current dog, please bring them in to do a pet meet prior to adoption!
 

Julio - 77927

Name: Julio  Code Number: 77927  Date Available: 6/27/2009   Adoption Fee: $153

Breed: Australian Cattledog/Mix     Pattern: White     Color: White/Tan

Gender: Male     Age:   1 Yr     Weight: 32.25 lbs.     Location: Dog Red Pod - 43

Julio is a sweet loveable boy that will require a confident and consistent guardian. Julio is deaf and deaf dogs make wonderful pets and family members. They are no more difficult to raise or train than their hearing counterparts. If you are going to live with a deaf dog, you will have to learn a new way to communicate with that dog. You will have to tune into the world of movement, vibration and light. You must use some type of sign language system, either American Sign Language or signs you invent yourself. It will seem strange at first, but both you and your dog will adapt quickly. All that's required is a willingness to learn.
 

Lucille - 74030

Name: Lucille   Code Number: 74030  Date Available: 4/4/2009   Adoption Fee: $55

Breed: German Shepherd     Pattern: Tan     Color: Tan/Not Specified

Gender: Female     Age:   8 Yr, 4 Mo     Weight: 61.4375 lbs.     Location: Dog Yellow Pod - 4

Lucille is a beautiful German Shepherd. She displays a lot of typical Shepherd behavior traits so her new family needs to be familiar with the breed. Lucille is naturally wary of strangers and protective of her family and home. At her age, she is really just looking for a family to love her and let her mellow out. She also enjoys playing fetch and going for walks. Lucille has not had a lot of socialization with other animals and should be the only pet in the home. A behavior consult is included with her adoption.
 

Penny Sue - 75026

Name: Penny Sue  Code Number: 75026  Date Available: 3/23/2009   Adoption Fee: $85

Breed: Rottweiler/Rhodesian Ridgeback     Pattern: Red     Color: Red/Not Specified

Gender: Female     Age:   4 Yr, 2 Mo     Weight: 56.1875 lbs.     Location: Dog Red Pod - 47

Penny is my name because of my beautiful copper color and shiny personality! I am part of the large group of dogs rescued from Burns, Oregon. I may get along with other dogs but if you have a dog already, I'd want to meet the dog before being adopted. I enjoy gentle pets and quiet attention. Loud noises, fast movements will scare me; because of this we recommend an adult home. I should also warn you, I am uncomfortable with people trying to touch my face. On the other hand, I would love to curl up on your lap if you let me. I also have a medical condition that needs no treatment but may mean that I won't live as long as I should but in the mean time I'm doing OK and love life. I deserve to have a home where I get to be indoors with my person and can lounge around on a comfy bed. Pet meet required.
 

Scamp - 76207

Name: Scamp  Code Number: 76207  Date Available: 6/13/2009   Adoption Fee: $85

Breed: Plott Hound/Australian Shepherd     Pattern: Brindle     Color: Brindle/Not Specified

Gender: Male     Age:   5 Yr     Weight: 60 lbs.     Location: Dog Isolation - 1

Basically Scamp has to be an only pet. He has lived outside most of his life and his only interactions with new animals was to chase them past his fenceline. He is aggressive to dogs and cats. He, however, LOVES people and is very sweet and affectionate to those who take care of him. If you have a good fenced-in yard and no other animals and want a loving and loyal companion dog, then Scamp needs you. Please ask for more information.
