Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

Astro, our 6 month old 44 pound puppy, is possibly a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. But, Astro's back is smooth. We checked, there is no Rhodesian Flatback. Your guess is as good as ours, but we do know this leggy looker will be a big boy (over 60 pounds likely) when he's fully grown. Since Astro's favorite activity is spooning, he's looking for an adopter that doesn't overheat easily. Found stray, the shelter asked us to help as Astro has a back leg that is turned outward a bit. We diagnosed him with an old shin fracture that had healed so that his foot was pointed to the side. Not in any pain, Astro can run around like any other puppy. He just looks a little like a ballerina when doing so. We can't overemphasize how cuddly Astro is. He is a soft-hearted guy and is shy with new people. But once he gets over his apprehension (it doesn't take long), Astro turns into a giant lap dog. Being a big puppy, Astro can be a bit of a bull-in-a-china-shop when he gets the zoomies, so we don't recommend really little kids in his home. Astro liked the older kids he met. Besides cuddling, Astro also REALLY loves dogs. He takes cues well and will try to convince every dog to play with him. We think Astro would thrive with a canine buddy. Astro also wants cats to play with him. This annoys most cats, but a dog savvy cat could be workable. Astro is very good on a leash and is mostly doesn't pull unless he sees a stick that simply MUST be chewed on. He is good in his crate and is house-broken. Being a puppy still, Astro's adopter should be excited about continuing his training and socialization. Astro is heartworm negative and current on his preventatives. He's neutered and vaccinated. We also checked to see if there was a Rhodesian Mesaback. Not yet, but there's always a first! Apply to adopt at www.stumptownstrays.org

Finnean is a good looking boy, that is easy to see. What is a little harder to see is his heart. He is a sensitive soul that loves ease and calm, oh yes, and treats! It might even be best to say- his heart is in his stomach. He doesn’t have expensive taste though, he is as happy with MilkBones as he is with grade A jerky. Take a look at him here https://youtu.be/i3gLRxV53C0 Just like his taste in treats, simple is perfect with him. No frills, no fancy. He loves routines and shines in structure and stability. If he was a person, the military would be recruiting him. Estimated to be 3 years old and weighing 55 lbs, lapdog was never in his cards so you wont have to worry about that. He will be close by but won’t insist on affection. He loves the quiet moments of connection, letting you know he is there without being imposing, happy with little head scratches and you calling him over for the companionship. When it comes to his canine companions, Finnean welcomes them. He loves to play with moderately playful dogs and is especially skilled at navigating the dynamics of group play. He greets and welcomes new dogs with ease and a calm approach. While he’s not one to initiate play right away, once he’s comfortable, he loves a good rough and tumble round of wrestling. A home with a yard and doggy friends who match his energy level would be ideal for him. Leash walking is a mixed bag for Finnean. He’s generally easy to walk but prefers quiet walks over busy sidewalks. A calm, attentive handler will help him continue to grow his confidence in these environments as needed. Not everyones life involves busy sidewalks and this isn’t the only way for him to be stimulated and get physical exercise. Indoors, we see moments where it is clear he is experiencing something new, those are teachable moments and may come up as he settles into a home.Guiding and teaching will strengthen your bond and watching him fully find his ease will be deeply gratifying. Finnean isn’t a fan of kennels and may get anxious if left contained for too long, though he is making improvements in this as his foster gently guides him to knowing crates are comfortable and safe spaces. We never can know what a rescue dog has faced in their past but we can absolutely promise them only the moving forward. Thanks to his foster dad’s guidance, crating has become a stress-free process, especially when it’s paired with his favorite thing—treats. Finnean’s ideal home would be one that understands his needs for patience, and time to get comfortable. The quiet, simple life with a little yard would be this boys heaven. While he’s not suited for a cat-friendly household (he was a bit terrified of the cat,) he has the potential to thrive in a home where his independent, food-loving, and playful spirit can truly shine. Are you Finneans someone? We sure hope so. Apply today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6740b688cd95d10ccf07024d Questions?

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS: Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family  Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions  70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer  Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!

A few treats and a lap for her to crawl into for some snuggly ear scratches, and Jessa will be in heaven! This loving and affectionate girl will appreciate any affection you show her and she'll reward you with endless kisses and tail wags. Jessa is the ultimate cuddlebug and prefers to be in your lap or a soft and fluffy bed (and it has to be at least as fluffy as she is).
