The shelter is open for dog adoptions, while intake for new dogs is still closed. There have been no additional deaths or new cases of Streptococcus zooepidemicus (SZ) in the adoption kennels.
Dog Adoptions Now Open - Intakes for Dogs on Hold
Under the guidance of the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) Animal Health Program, Multnomah County Animal Services (MCAS) is partially lifting its quarantine and is once again open for dog adoptions, while intake for new dogs is still not permitted.

你好!我的名字是 Mr. Matzah Ball
Meet Mr. Matzah Ball, a true "extra-large" sweetheart who is much more than meets the eye-and the camera! While his photos are adorable, they don't quite capture his impressive stature; in person, this big guy sports a head the size of a basketball and a solid, muscular build that tends to turn heads wherever he goes. But don't let the bulk fool you-underneath that sturdy exterior is a genuinely affectionate boy who is happiest when he's invited onto the couch or bed for a serious snuggle session.
In his foster home, Mr. Matzah is the definition of a "gentle giant" with a predictable, easygoing routine. He's a well-balanced companion who enjoys two walks a day and a good jog or some off-leash playtime, but he's just as happy to settle in and relax afterward. He's also a fantastic passenger for car rides and a total show-off when it comes to his toys, proudly carrying them around the house like prized trophies to share with his favorite humans.
Mr. Matzah is also a bit of a scholar, boasting an impressive list of commands including "sit," "stay," "shake," "twirl," and even "crawl." He is fully house-trained and walks well on a slip leash, though his foster family continues to work on his enthusiasm. Because he is social and friendly, he tends to offer "hugs" to newcomers; while endearing, his sheer strength means he needs a home with physically capable adults and no children under 12. He has been a perfect gentleman with workmen visiting the home, earning rave reviews for his temperament and manners. 🐶💛
