5 Portland Dogs Looking for a New Home

PORTLAND, OR — Family Dogs New Life is a no-kill shelter in Portland that has matched 12,000 adoptable dogs with great homes since 2004. In addition to the 30-50 dogs they keep at the shelter at any given time, Family Dogs also shares courtesy postings on their website. People who currently have dogs but are no longer able to care for them will share their notices.

Here are five such dogs looking for a new home today.

Carmen is a gentle American Bull Terrier who learns quickly and has "a really cute sense of humor." She looks pretty adorable from this photo, too. A house with a yard would be an ideal home for Carmen.

Say hello to Benny, a Corgi/Terrier/Pomeranian mix rescue. He's five years old and 31 pounds. Benny's current human friend describes him as "mellow, relaxed, and easy-going as long as he has a human companion around." Benny does well with children and knows many commands. He also loves a good foot rub. His adoption fee is $125, which includes "food, collar, harness and bed." Benny fully vaccinated and chipped. Contact laurenknutson@gmail.com for more information.

You'll always want to go back to Cali: a spayed, female, three-year-old purebred yellow Lab. Cali has excellent house manners, she's fully housebroke and obeys many basic commands.

Cali's adoption fee is $200, which includes a crate, bed, leash, collar and harness. She is current on vaccinations, microchipped and the current owners have full veterinary records. Please call (503) 349-8490 for more info.

Huck is a great pup who's human mom Georgia is moving into a "life with a young child" and Huck needs a new home. Georgia has set up a great website all about Huck. If you're interested in adopting Huck, send Georgia an email at georgia@silvaniaperu.com or call her at (503)686-0598.

Jasper is a 15-month-old neutered male who's up to date on vaccinations. He is not good around intact male dogs and will charge them. Jasper is "crate-trained, house-trained and in general a sweet dog." For more information, email Kayse at kaysefletcher@gmail.com.
