🐾 Introducing Gizmo! 🐾

Gizmo is my newest foster dog. He has had a rough start in life, but despite it all, he is incredibly sweet and loves other dogs. His severe cauliflower ears tell a story of past hardship, and he’s understandably cautious about having them touched.

Gizmo is up to date on vaccinations and will be receiving much-needed medical care, including treatment for his ears and a neuter. We’re committed to getting this handsome boy feeling comfortable and loved.

Welcome to your new beginning, Gizmo. ❤️🐾

Ronnie’s puppies are thriving! Their eyes are now open, and all five are healthy and growing. They will be available for adoption in July.

Ronnie arrived to our foster home from Modesto, California on a START transport, and by the very next morning, she welcomed five beautiful babies into the world. ❤️

Fourteen years later and some dogs never forget. 😂🐾

We fostered Lilo as a puppy for the Willamette Humane Society 14 years ago, but she decided she was already home and never left.

When she was young, she followed the other puppies through a double-flap dog door. Unfortunately, that second flap tapped her on the rear end and startled her. Apparently, it was a life-changing event—because 14 years later, Lilo still refuses to go through a dog door.

Dogs may forgive, but they definitely don’t forget. ❤️🐶
