Meet the dogs looking for a home

How adoption works

No pressure, no surprises. Three simple steps from "hello" to homecoming.

01

Apply online

Fill out a short form about your home and lifestyle. Takes about ten minutes — no fees to apply.

02

Meet & greet

Come spend time with your match at our Portland shelter. Bring the whole family — and any current pups.

03

Welcome home

Sign the papers, grab a starter kit, and head home. We check in for the first month to help you settle.

Not ready to adopt? You can still help.

Every wag is powered by people like you. Here's how to be part of it.

Donate

$45 covers vaccinations for one dog. $120 covers a month of food and care.

Foster

Open your home temporarily and give a dog a soft place to land while they wait.

Become a foster

Volunteer

Walk dogs, run events, or lend a skill. Weekend shifts start at just two hours.

Happy tails

A few of the families who found each other here.

An adopter hugging her new dog at home

"Maple was so shy when we met her. Six months later she rules the house and naps on my feet every night. Best decision we ever made."

— Dana R., Sellwood

"The team matched us with the perfect running buddy. They knew exactly what our lifestyle needed. Bruno's logged a hundred miles with me already."

— Marcus T., Hawthorne
Children playing with their adopted dog

"Our kids had begged for a dog for years. Penny fit right in like she'd always been here. The follow-up calls really helped us in week one."

— The Alvarez Family, Beaverton
