Tortellini'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. Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment. I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me! I'm a fiend for food! Snacks are a great way to make friends with me and win your way into my heart. Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course! New things are a little scary to me, but I all I need is time and someone to show me it's okay. I lived with cats and dogs in my previous home. The type of home I'm looking for: I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home. I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted. I need to go to a home where there is another dog to help boost my confidence and to play with! I need to go to a home without small children. Fast movement and loud noises can be frightening to me. I would do best with calm, dog savvy, teenagers. It could be with you!

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.
