IVY
 December 2006
- Female
- 10 years old
- L/W
- Spayed
Ivy is a 10 year old whose papa is having open heart surgery and whose
mama can't care for both Dad and Ivy. Their other dog (not a Springer)was
adopted. by a family friend.
Here's a letter from her new family less than a week after the adoption:
Everything is going really well now that the cat has finally accepted
the fact that he is no longer an only child. They can even be on the
bed at the same time! We had to change her name. Ron kept calling her
Sophie. Ivy was just not natural for us. So she is "Missy",
she answeres to it already.
She's been having a lot of fun, and she sure likes playing with my niece.
We took her shopping at PetSmart, she loved that, we bought her some
toys, treats, pretty sparkly pink collar and some Eukanuba lamb and rice
food. She likes it alot. Today is going to be another big day for Missy
(Ivy). She is going to the puppy day spa for some grooming and on the
way home we will take her to PetSmart to shop for her very own bed. I
will send you some pics tonight of her with bows in her hair.
She's perfect, we've fallen in love with her already. In a few months
we may start looking for a friend for her, we'll see.

Tasha
November 2006
When we
picked Tasha up from the shelter in Albany, she had been named "Jane
Doe." We guessed it
fit a stray, but didn't really fit her! The vet figured that she's
about
10 years old. The foster mom reported that Tasha is a very nice dog. She is fully
house broken, loves attention and is good with the other dogs and cats
in the
house. She's been recently groomed and is all up to date
on her vaccinations.
Tasha is a very nice companion for a very
lucky soul out there! |

Hank November 2006
Hank cames to Oregon Springer Rescue from the Oregon Humane Society.
He wasn't at all happy at the shelter, so off to a cushy foster home
for him.
Once he was out of the kennel he settled and was
comfortable enough to jump up in a lap, we found that he really is
a good boy. He's great with other dogs, but a little
to
curious about
cats He's also fine with older, dog respectful kids.
He's house broken and rides well in the car. And he's got
some
great tricks up his sleeve... he can sit, shake, lay down, stay,
speak...he's such a good boy!
Hank found his forever home just before Thanksgiving, 2006. And he says,
THANKS! |

Beebop/Harley
October 2006
- Gender: Male
- Age: Young
- Color: Liver & White
BeeBop/Harley came to us as a stray. He was super interested in chasing
squirrels and C@s. He was recently neutered before moving to an island
in Alaska.
This guy has a great nose and shows a strong
instinct for working birds and could make a great bird dog. Since he is
unreliable off lead, his new family takes him to a little island nearby
where he can run himself silly; then he comes home for a good snooze. |

Bebe
- Gender: Male
- Age: 3
- Color: Black & White
Bebe is happy to be out of the
shelter and in his forever home. He's easy going and has
settled right in. In his first afternoon in foster care while
the family worked outside in the yard, the neighborhood children came
over
and Bebe played for a long time with them until he was worn out. He's
a sweet and gentle guy. |

Boliver
- Gender: Male
- Age: 2
- Neutered & UTD on Shots
- Color: black/white
Boliver is a sweet guy
that loves affection. He loves to be petted, and follows his new mom
where ever she goes. When around cats he seems to ignore them if they
don't run. If they run, he will give chase but doesn't show signs
of being aggressive with them. Small children are unknown but he is around
(and now living with) teen age children and doing fine. He's not a barker.He
loves his forever home.

Minnow (Minnie for short) -
ADOPTED
- Gender: Male
- Age: ~8
- Neutered
- Color: liver/white
Minnow has his few favorite toys that he
rotates through; he doesn't play with them, but just carries them
around. Every once in a while, he gets lucky and he sneaks one
outside so it can get dirty and wet and stinky and he can retrieve it
later
when it smells "better." That is then his new favorite toy to carry
around.
He also has this cute body wiggle he does when his family comes home--
it's funny because he's just a big hairy sausage so he doesn't "wiggle" as
much as he swings his butt into whatever's around.
I've also
started letting him sleep on my bed at night. It didn't take him
long to get used to that. As long as he's got his back against some part
of me, he's perfectly content.

Precious -
ADOPTED
Precious is the perfect name for this
perfect dog! Precious is a 10 year old spayed female English Springer
Spaniel whose heart just broke when her family
brought her to the shelter.
Precious was adopted by a longtime foster mom who just needed another
inside family dog who is housebroken and well-behaved. She lives with
other dogs
and
cats
with no problems... oh, and pigmy goats, a rescue donkey and a rescue
pony. She has been
with
kids of all ages and is said to protective of her home and family.

Navaho - Adopted June

Navajo is a 12 year old spayed female
liver and white English Springer Spaniel. She is housetrained and
well-behaved. She's on daily medication for spay incontinence (luckily
the medication is very inexpensive). Navajo is social and friendly with
everyone

other dogs, cats she has lived with,
and even horses. She has lived with children of all ages and said to be
loving and kind with them. Navajo's favorite things in life are car rides,

Scarlet - Adopted June 2006
Scarlet is an absolute doll. She's young and
has all the energy that comes with youth. She's also incredibly
affectionate and loves to snuggle up with her mom and bury
her head in mom's lap. Have any toys? Great! This girl
is getting a kick
out
of all
the dog toys she get to play with now. She'll play with anything,
but tennis balls seem to be a favorite as she has dutifully
found every
tennis
ball that her foster brother ever managed to loose.
She's also the
quite the looker. Her weight is very healthy and she has incredibly
silky-soft fur. And a full tail that never seems to stop
wagging.
Scarlet has gone to the dog park and enjoyed sniffing around
and playing with other dogs. Even better is that she is incredibly
easy
to walk - no pulling on the leash at all and she kept the same
walking pace
as her foster mom. She appears to be house broken and has taken
very well
to being crate trained.

| Roscoe - Adopted June 2006
Roscoe is a big (68 pounds), sweet, quiet,
gentle 5 year old liver and white springer. He is a GREAT DOG!
He loves carrying a ball in his mouth, swimming and diving for
rocks. He likes to find a shady spot in the garden and watch his
mom pull weeds. He is not afraid to ask for a tummy rub when
he needs one, and he gives great big wet sloppy kisses (frequently). He's
also really smart.
Roscoe was an outdoor dog at his first
home. He's catching on to house manners and
takes gentle correction very easily. He settles with just a little
encouragement and likes to sleep under the bed. He loves
people.
Roscoe ended up at the shelter because he dug out of his
new backyard when his family moved to a new home. He didn't have
any trouble staying in the backyard at his old house and he hasn't had
any
trouble staying in the backyard of his new home.
The
vet gives him a clean bill of health. He is pretty good on a
leash (and will be terrific once someone works with him.) He
is not aggressive around food. He's got a great personality. |

Sweetie - Adopted March
2006
- Female
- Spayed
- Age: Young Adult, Maybe 4
Sweetie is just that, a very lucky
sweetheart. She was found running loose near I-205 in Portland. The people
that found her took her in and tried to find her owners but where unable
to. As they already have two dogs of their own they can't keep her and so
they've asked Oregon Springer Rescue to help them find her a new forever
home.
She currently spends most of her time outside where she is
very mellow and quiet, very rarely ever barking. She's great with kids and
other dogs (she's currently living with two small terrier mixes). She
loves riding in the car and is good on a leash. Her current caretakers say
she is happy, playful and fetches pretty well. Not to mention she LOVES
squeak toys and belly rubs. At 70 pounds she could probably stand to loose
a few pounds, so if you're looking for an exercise partner, Sweetie could
be the one for you!

Willy - Adopted February 2006
- Male
- Neutered
- Liver/White
- 2 years young
Introducing the wonderful Willy! He is so well
trained it's hard to believe! He sits on command, shakes paws, doesn't
pull on lead, heels and is otherwise delightful.
He does have some
morning allergic reactions...sneezes and wheezes for about 10 min in the
morning than is fine...probably a dust allergy.
Willy is now
happily settling into his new forever home in Canada!

Lilly - Adopted February
2006
- Female
- Spayed
- Black/White
- young
- Special Needs
Lilly came from the kind folks at
the Kalamth Falls shelter. She's a real sweetie and has won the hearts
of everyone there. She is a special needs dogs. She has had problems with
seizures, but now she's at the shelter and on proper seizure meds. Since
she started the meds the staff at the shelter don't believe she's had
any
seizures, which is good because it means that her seizures will be easily
controlled and won't stop her from having a long life of stealing the
hearts of all she meets. |

Jody - Adopted January 2006
Jody and his 9 year old brother's
owner had a terminal condition. A friend agreed to oversee placing the
boys, and Oregon Springer Rescue took them in.
They had lived as
an out-door only dog until they got to their foster mom's house. She
worked on teaching them house manners and they have been very eager
to
learn and easy to teach (they took to crate training and house breaking
very well). As you can see by the picture, they love being indoor doggies,
especially since there are so many warm, soft resting places! They've got
some of the softest coats the foster mom has ever felt and they are
both
very affectionate and soakes up any love you've got to give. They are up
to date on on vaccinations.

Romeo - Adopted! January 2006
- Male
- Black/White
- 8 years young
Romeo was released to rescue when his vet
refused to put him down. He is recovering from skin problems caused by
neglect/flea allergy. He'll make a full recovery but he will have to stay
on a restrictive diet for the rest of his life. He is about 8 years old,
neutered, and a real love. He is black and white with a full tail. The
Bush Animal Clinic in Eugene should receive a medal for all the time and
effort they put into this boy.
Despite the horrid condition his
previous owners had him in, he still loves people with every ounce of his
heart and wants nothing more than to be close to his human. He definitely
lives up to his name and is quite the little lover. He's very affectionate
and loves to snuggle and be the center of attention. At his foster home
he
liked being the "dominant dog," which really just involved humping his
foster brother (who luckily doesn't care).
He recently went on a hike with his foster mom and foster brother
and did wonderfully. He hiked several miles along the Eagle Creek trail
in the Gorge and loved every minute of it (except the bath he needed
when
they got home). He is very gentle and has wonderful house manners. He
learned the rules of the foster home very quickly and minded his foster
mom very well. |

Finney - Adopted! January 2006
Finney, short for Finnegan, is a male
estimated to be 12 yrs old, but if you meet this spunky little senior
you'll probably be as skeptical as we are about his age. He acts a lot
younger. He's quite small with field springer characteristics and has
a sweet
disposition. His human companion developed serious health problems and
had to let Finney and his house mate go. His housemate found a home, but
it took a little longer for Finney to find his place where he is loved,
walked and looked after. He's very calm and good around kids. |
