Karl knows the rain is coming this week and has already transitioned into his standard rainy-day position. He will remain here until conditions improve, unless an adopter would like to transfer this operation to their own couch.

Our last Happy Tails post of August includes 8 very good boys and girls!⁠
⁠
We also had our second adoption event at the Cedar Mills in Beaverton, where 3 of the 4 dogs who joined found families of their own.⁠ (To be fair, the 4th was a day-of surprise, so folks didn't have much notice!)
⁠
Happy Tails to Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes, Myrtle, Duke of Soul, Flounder, Sebastian, Max, Dash, and Attina!⁠
⁠
Though Summer may be winding down, the Good Life is just getting started for these babies. Thank you to every adopter who made room for one more dog in their world, and to the fosters, volunteers, and donors who make each of these Happy Tails possible.

Gather ‘round, Cronos made a scrapbook of his first camping trip and wants to share. And yes, you do have to look at every single page.

He spent a weekend exploring Mount Hood with a temp. foster and proved himself to be one very capable little outdoors dude.

And a responsible outdoorsman, we might add! Cronos respects the burn ban and is saving all his burning enthusiasm for finding a family of his own. This good boy is available for adoption and hoping his next adventure is going straight to the Good Life as your sidekick.

We have an update! Double Decker Supreme is back on the menu this weekend!

He'll be at the Adoption Center tomorrow (Saturday, 8/29) starting at 10:15AM.

Available while supplies last, and unfortunately, supplies consist of exactly one puppy-sized Double Decker Supreme. So if you’d like to take this order to go, we recommend arriving early!

Sally is back, and we consider this less of a return and more of a very wiggly course correction.⁠
⁠
You see, she would *really* love a home with another dog to show her the ropes -- something she didn't get the first time around. Sally has strong little-sister energy and thrives with an older dog sibling to follow around. As far as she’s concerned, older siblings know everything.⁠
⁠
Find Sally at our Adoption Center tomorrow (Saturday, 8/29) starting at 10:15AM. We’re prioritizing adoptive homes with another dog for her, so if your pup has been requesting a lil sis, we know a great candidate.

*UPDATE: MINI TACO SALAD WILL NOT BE ATTENDING**

Friday’s menu is looking especially adoptable.⁠
⁠
Mini Taco Salad and Myrtle will both be clocking in at our Adoption Center tomorrow. While only one of them is technically named after a Taco Bell item, we previously established that Myrtle’s nickname of Potato gets her in.
⁠
These two items won’t be on our menu forever, so get your order in while you can. The only bummer is that no there's no drive-thru available, so coming all the way in to our Adoption Center is necessary. And puts on our ideas list an AC drive-thru window...

If you're on our email list, you've been learning about Scuttle. ⁠
⁠
We first met her through video, when El Paso Animal Services showed us perhaps why this friendly, easy girl wasn't being adopted. It's because her back legs don't function as they should, unable to extend and causing her to get around mostly by a scoot.⁠ Well, our community said let's see what a change of venue and some more resources can do.

Our members who give a recurring gift each month allow us to take that chance.⁠
⁠
So we got her a foster home, pain meds to start feeling better immediately, and a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon who determined that, while Scuttle wasn't a good candidate for surgery, she is a good candidate for a cart. So then we got her fitted in a wheelchair. Though still getting used to it, we're encouraged and relieved she has options to take some of the pressure off her body and make it feel a little better. ⁠
⁠
Now we only have one more thing to get Scuttle: adopted.

And she's available TODAY to meet at our Adoption Center starting at 2:30PM. A friend of other dogs, cats, and humans especially if you have cheese, come see if this girl will scoot (or roll) into your heart enough to take her home. ⁠

Not in the market to adopt and still want to make a difference? Become a member today. Any amount recurring monthly allows us to know which underdogs like Scuttle we can get to the Good Life. ⁠
⁠
We can't wait to see what the future holds for you, sweet Scuttle! And we know that future is brighter thanks to all of you.

Here's a before and after of adoptable Sacramento.⁠
⁠
Hard to believe but we promise it's the same dog!

And he's still looking for a quiet retirement home of his own.

Duke of Soul and Scuttle are two different varieties of cuddle bug.⁠
⁠
Duke, heavy on the Soul, is a sweet, intelligent, chill little guy who likes to take things at a slower pace. Once he warms up and gets comfy, the snuggles are very much worth the wait.⁠
⁠
Scuttle is a certified lap dog and full-time shadow who believes personal space is mostly a suggestion. She low key thinks she's a stuffed animal.⁠
⁠
The one thing they have in common is being ready to find their families!
⁠
And good news: you can meet them tomorrow! Scuttle and Duke of Soul will be at our Adoption Center Thursday (8/27) from 2:30–6:30PM or until adopted.
