Avery's Story

Hey friend, my name is Avery! If you're looking for a sweet and silly girl to adventure with, I may just be the perfect fit. I'm a very playful pup and I love toys of all kinds! Stuffed animals are my favorite - I love to carry one around with me on walks; I'll show you when we meet! I love treats and positive reinforcement. You can use those things to teach me new things and become my best friend of course! I am high energy. I love to run and I have been on the running team while at the shelter; I would make a great running buddy! Sometimes I don't know my own size and can bump into things, so I need to go to a home without small children. Older dog-savvy kids are okay though! I have such a silly and outgoing personality. I love to cuddle and lay with my friends. I would do best with someone who is home most of the time but I am crate trained! I have anxiety so I can be worried about being left alone and being in new situations. While I have lived with another dog previously and have had fun playing with dogs here at the shelter, I will need to be your one and only. This just means more playtime and adventuring with just the two of us. I love to be the center of attention. All eyes and pets on me, please! I will also need a home without cats or other small animals. Even better? I'm part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here. Basically, we'll get to spend plenty of time together before we officially seal the deal. I hope to see you soon!

Oregon Humane's Adoption Policy

Oregon Humane’s Portland and Salem campuses are open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days per week. Adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. When you come to the shelter and see a pet you are interested in meeting, please take note of the pet’s name and visit the front desk in the lobby. Our Customer Care team will be happy to assist you with the next steps. Step 1: Come to the shelter! Visit our Portland or Salem campuses to view available pets in person! You can also view all adoptable animals on our website, which is updated with new pets every day. The shelter is open for walk-through viewing from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days per week. Bringing home a pet is a family decision, so we encourage you to bring the whole family and other decision-makers. If you’re thinking about adopting a dog, don’t forget a leash! Step 2: Meet and greet Once you’ve found a pet you’re interested in meeting, take note of the pet’s name and visit the front desk in the lobby. We’ll have you fill out a brief questionnaire. You can also save time by filling out the questionnaire before visiting the shelter. Just let our staff know that you have already submitted your information and they can pull it up in our system. Please note: Meet and greets are done on a first-come/first-served basis. There may be a wait time during our busiest times, including the weekends. Our goal is to help you within 30 minutes to arrange a meet and greet, but wait times may vary. We appreciate your patience. Be sure to allow enough time and have flexibility in your schedule when you visit. Step 3: Take your new pet home! We do not offer holds on any animals at this time. For more information about what is included with your new pet’s adoption, please head on over to our Adoption Support page. All adopted animals are required to go home with safety mechanisms in place. We require that all cats and small animals go home in a carrier. You can bring your carrier from home or we will send your new cat or small animal home in a cardboard carrier. All dogs are required to go home on leash and we will safely secure them in your vehicle or rideshare for you.

Our Mission

We transform compassion into action, creating an ecosystem where all of us – animals and humans – feel safe, valued, and part of something bigger.
