Oscar, dachshund

Oscar is a darling male dachshund dog currently residing at Oregon Dachshund Rescue Inc.

Oscar will get along great with other dogs. Good news: He is already house-trained. Oscar is already neutered, and he has all his shots.

From Oscar's current caretaker:

He loves playing with his toys, getting lots of belly scratches, going for walks and burrowing under his favorite big blanket.

Kayla, Catahoula leopard dog and Labrador retriever mix

Kayla is a charming female Catahoula leopard dog and Labrador retriever mix being kept at Family Dogs New Life Shelter.

Kayla gets along well with other dogs. She is looking for cat-free home. She's been vaccinated and spayed. She is already house-trained.

Here's what Kayla has to say:

X marks the spot, right? Well, there might as well be one on my forehead, cuz I am a real treasure. Young and fun and full of puppy love. I’ve got personality galore, and boy oh boy am I charming. I need to find a family that is feline-free with a nice secure yard. This family will hopefully include loving family members, of any age, who will keep me company, play fun games with me, continue my training and, best of all, cuddle with me.

Maverick, American bulldog

Maverick is a male American bulldog dog currently housed at My Way Home Dog Rescue.

Maverick is eager to make friends — he'll get along great with kids, cats or dogs. He is already house-trained. Maverick is already neutered and vaccinated.

Here's what Maverick's friends at My Way Home Dog Rescue think of him:

Maverick loves to go out into his yard and do zoomies then throw toys in the air. He loves walks and probably would benefit from a jog every now and then. He will do best in a family that will give him positive reinforcement training (he can be sensitive guy) and guidance. Most of all Maverick needs to feel safe and loved.

Tee Jay, terrier

Tee Jay is a winsome female terrier dog currently housed at My Way Home Dog Rescue.

Tee Jay is a social butterfly, and she loves other dogs. She is already vaccinated and spayed. She's mastered her house-training etiquette.

Tee Jay's current caretakers say:

Oh those eyes! Most who meet her call her “just perfect.” She gets most of her exercise by playing, so we will be putting her into a home with another playful dog.

Freckles, Saint Bernard and Great Pyrenees mix

Freckles is a sweet male Saint Bernard and Great Pyrenees mix currently residing at Oregon St Bernard Rescue.

Freckles loves other dogs. Oregon St Bernard Rescue, however, wants to place him in a home without small children. He's neutered and vaccinated. No need to worry: He's already house-trained.

Notes from Freckles' caretakers:

Freckles, called Fred for short, is a sweet boy. He is great with other dogs, but probably should not live with an alpha male dog. Freckles needs slow introductions with people and pets and it takes him awhile to get used to his new surroundings. He wants to be close to his person and is very loving.

Potato, American bulldog mix

Potato is a male American bulldog mix staying at Dream Team Angels Rescue.

Potato will get along great with your other dogs. His ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. Have no fear: He is already house-trained. He is vaccinated and neutered.

Here's what Potato has to say:

Hello my name is Potato... because I’m just a little tater head! I’m actually a pretty big boy. I’m probably about 75 pounds now. I get to go on a hike every day with my favorite human, my trainer Jennifer. She’s helping me get the strength back in my muscles. I am a very sweet boy. I get along great with other dogs but I love my humans best.
