She came from a home that just had too many cats and they were unable to care for her properly. The family made the right choice for her. This little lady is two years old and just an absolute love bug. Her foster mother tells us that one of her favorite things to do is to be held and hugged. Little Girl does well with other cats, and has had exposure to dogs and seems to do well with them. If we place her in a home with another cat, we will request that it be a male. She is the right amount of sweet and playful. If you're looking to add a new friend to your family please consider this very sweet girl. If you are interest- ed in meeting her we ask that you please email adoption@columbi- ahumane.org in order to obtain an adoption application. Once you have an approved application on file we will then schedule a time for you to come and meet her. Please note that our preferred method of contact is via email, as most of our time is spent with our animals and we can easily answer emails on the go. The adoption fee is $125 which includes her spay, current vaccinations, treatment for fleas and worms, and microchip. 2084 Oregon Street, St. Helens, OR 97051 Jango is a young, energetic 2 year old Staffordshire Terrier mix. This guy is full of life and full of energy. He will need a family that is patient and will be willing to work with him. He is your typical two year old puppy that hasn’t had a lot of guidance in his life. He loves to play and seems to do well with other dogs. However, due to him being a male we are only willing to place him with a female dog that is active and who can put up with his antics. We have no intel on how he will be with cats. Due to his excitement level we would only suggest placing him with kids that are over 12 years old. He is wiggly and doesn’t always know his size. If you are interested in meeting Jango we ask that you please email adoption@columbiahu- mane.org in order to obtain an application. His adoption fee is $250 which includes his neuter, microchip, and current vaccinations. All adoptions are done by appointment only, with an approved application on file.
