Adopt a Less-Adoptable Pet–Babbas

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Sage

Don’t you wonder why some people have dogs and then shut them in a basement most of their lives? Well, that’s what happened to Babbas. He’s an 8-year old German Shepherd mix. This is his story:

I’m Babbas, you can call me Travis though. It just rolls off the tongue a little better eh? I’m a young at heart, easygoing happy dude! That’s strange, huh? Oh that’s right, You haven’t heard my story yet…well, lemme tell you a bit about myself. Why is it strange that I’m happy and friendly and happy to be here in the shelter? Well, it’s because I’ve spent the majority of my adult life with minimal care, living in a basement. That’s right, a freakin’ basement. Is that any place for a happy fellow like me? NO. NO. NO. A basement is the place you store your extra junk, it’s no place for an affectionate, loyal and loving companion. But, I don’t hold grudges, I’m just glad that I have the opportunity to live the rest of my life above ground. You know, being a part of the family. Cuddling on the couch, lounging in the back yard, going for car rides…wow that sounds grand! I don’t want to share my home with cats though, but children over 6 and other dogs are just great by me. And did I mention that I LOVE people? Because I do, believe it or not I still do! And I promise, if you take me home I will love you too.

Babbas is not here at the shelter, he is being cared for by the fine folks at The Dog Park doggy daycare in Sellwood. If you are interested in meeting him you can do so at The Dog Park 503-230-1109.

8 years old- 68lbs. My adoption fee is $100 and includes; neuter, microchip, free veterinary exam, 1 month pet health insurance, reduced cost training class, leash/collar, toy & treat packet and food sample.

Hard to believe, huh? He’s adorable and really needs a home. It’s wonderful that he’s being cared for at the Dog Park.

Petfinders and Blogpaws are doing an amazing thing by promoting this drive to adopt a less-adoptable pet. There are so many dogs in the shelters that are “less-adoptable”. Did you know that 30% of the senior dogs like Babbas will NOT be adopted? How sad is that?

Do your part and spread the word–post it on Facebook, Twitter or blog about it if you have a blog. Your help will get these sweet pets like Babbas adopted.

Adopt a Less-Adoptable Pet-Cory

Posted on September 21, 2010 by Sage

This is Cory! Isn’t he an adorable Brittany Spaniel? Right now he’s living at Project POOCH in Woodburn, Oregon, and needs a new home. He certainly doesn’t look like he has “special needs”, but Cory is deaf. That takes a special person who wants to give him lots of love and can teach him how to live in a deaf world. He’s already learning sign language!

This is what the shelter says about him:

LEAN, CLEAN, LOVIN’ MACHINE. Droopy ears, docked tail, short smooth coat and dreamy brown eyes makes this guy hard to resist. This handsome guy is a real dream boat. His true love will want to spend a lot of time with him.

In exchange for room, board, and lots of affection, Cory will give you unconditional love. He loves to cuddle and give big, wet kisses. He enjoys the company of dogs, cats, kids, and grownups.

Cory is deaf, so he is learning sign language. If you want to meet, Cory, leave him a message at 503-982-4492

To meet Cory, please call the Project POOCH kennels at MacLaren in Woodburn to schedule a visit — 503-982-4492.

Petfinders and Blogpaws are doing an amazing thing by promoting this drive to adopt a less-adoptable pet. There are so many dogs in the shelters that are “less-adoptable”. Did you know that 15% of the dogs with medical problems like Cory will NOT be adopted? How sad is that?

Adopt a Less-Adoptable Pet-Frodo

Posted on September 19, 2010 by Sage

Look at this sweety:

How can you resist him. His name is Frodo and here’s what the shelter says:

If you’re looking for an older gentleman to kick back with you then your search stops here. Frodo, is a wonderful senior dog that would love to be able to live out his life with a family he can call his own. He came to the shelter as a stray, and no one came to claim him. We are guessing he is 10-11 years old, and we are sure he has some hearing issues. He still gets around good and loves to go for walks. He is very quiet in his kennel and would make an older person a great companion. If you think you can give Frodo and new home please don’t hesitate to call

503-397-3935 or

email animal.control@co.columbia.or.us
