Columbia Humane Society Purr-fect Pals Featured Dog 2084 Oregon Street, St. Helens, OR 97051 Phone: 503-397-4353 Pilot is around 5 months old and weighs about 13 lbs. This kid is no stranger to the shelter life. As a recent newcomer from a high kill shelter in Texas, he is relieved to be in the Pacific Northwest and is ready to start his new forever life. Pilot will do best in a home without young kids, as he can be very mouthy with his toys and with treats. He has had some training, but he is basically a blank canvas and ready to be worked with and molded into a wonderful dog. His ideal home would be one that is going to keep him active. If there is a dog in the home we would highly suggest that it be a strong female dog that is going to enjoy teaching him all the right ways to act and play. We are uncertain about his abilities with cats. If you are interested in meeting Pilot we ask that you please email animalwelfare@columbiahumane.org. Once you have an approved application on file we will then schedule a time for you to come in and meet him. PILOT Rosaly is a new addition to our cattery, and we are still learning about her. So far she has been pretty sweet and does not really mind the cat that is in the cage next to her. We don't really have much background on her and don't know what her history is with kids or dogs. We do know that she is about a year old and will give you all the love you ever needed. Her adoption fee is $125 which includes her spay, microchip, vaccinations, 30 days free pet insurance, and a 14 day local vet visit. If you are interested in meeting Rosaly please don't hesitate to email animalwelfare@columbiahumane.org. E-mail: info@columbiahumane.org Web: www.columbiahumane.org
