Sacramento had some fall festivities of his own today! It’s important to make time for seasonal activities when your usual calendar is mostly Lamby duty.

Apply to meet him and give our sweet pumpkin something to tell his Lambys about!

your birth month = your spooky (adoptable) dog!

Laki will be joining us at our Adoption Center this Saturday from 10:15AM–3:30PM! This guy is all about having room to zoom and very little space between you on the couch.

At about four years old, he’s a sweet, gentle boy who loves other dogs, especially those who appreciate some rowdy recreation. Once he’s gotten his laps in, he’s ready to settle down and be included in whatever you’re doing.

Laki and Harvey will be hanging out during those hours or until adopted. Come say hello! You might meet your new favorite reason to stay on the couch!

Harvey heard he’s coming to the Adoption Center and wanted to get extra squeaky clean. After all, you only get one chance to make a first sniff!

At about two years old, this sweet, smart goofball has a lot to learn and would like to learn it directly beside you. He’s quick to catch on, loves a good bone, and considers everyone a potential friend. Manners and potty training are still works in progress, but Harvey's enthusiasm is full developed.

He’s ready to make some new pals this weekend, and we’re hoping one of them takes him home.

✨ Stop by our Adoption Center this Saturday to meet Harvey! He’ll be hanging out from 10:15AM–3:30PM, or until adopted. ✨

Slate has been exploring a few options for Halloween! Just in case her person is searching specifically for a pineapple, turtle or hot dog with excellent house manners.⁠
⁠
Meanwhile, Aka would like you to know that he has decided to go as a rational consumer (inspired by Oscar from The Office, of course). He’s prepared to explain why adopting him is a solid decision: you want a dog, and he needs someone to open cheese for him. Win-win.⁠
⁠
✨ These two will be at our Adoption Center tomorrow (Friday 10/30) from 2:30–6:30PM or until adopted! ✨⁠
⁠
Slate will also be back on Saturday (10/31) from 10:15AM–3:30PM if she doesn’t find her person Friday. And her day is very open to being canceled by an adoption, soooo...

Thanks to our generous sponsor Knox Law Knox Law PC , we welcomed twenty very good little monsters earlier this week from our sister org OTAT-WTX One Tail at a Time - West Texas and El Paso Animal Services El Paso Animal Services 🐾 !

They’ve been haunting their foster homes for a couple days now, and so far most of the spooky business has come in the form of napping.

Swipe to see our newest arrivals getting their first taste of the Good Life in Portland! We can’t wait to share more of our cute pumpkins.

Somewhere along the way Sacramento acquired a herd and is now the proud father of *two* sheep. We’re a dog rescue, so this is outside our area of expertise, but the farm appears to be doing well!
⁠
Sacramento would also like to be adopted before his lambies find out he’s been listing them as dependents. If you've got a quiet home and enough space for all three of them, we're pretty sure dogs as dependents is a thing too.
