Penwin's Story

What my friends at OHS say about me: I have been working with the Behavior team at OHS and I'm looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. Click the "meet me" button to start the process and schedule an appointment. To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout. I love to learn! You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things. I already know some basic cues such as, sit, down, stay, & touch, and I'm putting in the work on walking nicely on leash. Looking to try cool dog activities or sports? I am a great partner for that! High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish. I am used to living an active lifestyle! I would love to get up and go adventure with you. Walks, hikes, & trips to the beach or river all sound like a grand time to me! Making new friends is so much fun! I'm a very social and confident gal. I had so much fun meeting other dogs here in the shelter. My friends at OHS think I would be great at making new dog friends! The type of home I'm looking for: My energy and size can be a lot for little kids, but I would do great with older, dog-savvy children. I may do best in a home without cats or small animals, but having another dog to play with would be very fun! I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted. It could be with you!

Oregon Humane Society's Adoption Policy

Oregon Humane Society’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.
