Henry came into our life in the spring of 2011, a fit and lively dog. A second chance rescue from the Oregon Humane Society, Henry was originally picked up in the Klamath Falls area, having survived outdoors on his own for an unknown time. I like to imagine Henry as having traveled the world in that time; developing his refined tastes for swimming in rivers and accepting chin-scratches, and discovering his favorite game - chewing his rope whilst laying on his back, getting belly rubs. Regardless of his adventures, Henry was a welcome addition to our family: energetic in the field and a love sponge at home, happy to join me and Katie for a night of knitting or a weekend of camping, wiggling all the while.
April: Gurgi
Hi, my name is Gurgi! I’m named after the furry & mischievous little hero from The Black Cauldron. Just like him, I enjoy going on wild adventures with my dad on our morning runs. I will do any number of tricks for “munchies and crunchies,” but my favorite is to dance! My very important job is to go to my parent’s dental office every Friday, and help mom with paperwork. I get paid in treats! Just like Gurgi from the movie, I also enjoy spending quality time with my friends. So I joyfully grab life with all four paws at the dog park and at No Bonz! Born and raised here in Portland, I’m half Mini-Schnauzer half Parsons Terrier. I like being really calm and cuddly when I’m inside, and have my mom completely wrapped around my paw whenever I give her that puppy-dog look. My favorite thing is when my parents take me to the dog park and they say the magic words “Okay Gurgi, go on!” Because I’m half Parsons Terrier, I can run faster than even the really big dogs, except for Zeus the Rhodesian Ridgeback of course!
March: Inqui
Hello, I’m Inqui. I’m 12 years old but don’t let the age fool you. I’m a calm but spirited 12 year old Shih-Tzu. I have been in Portland for 9 years now and while I don’t care for the rain I love all the green lawns and dog parks throughout the city. I think I have visited most of them. My mom and dad say I’m very clever. I know how to open cabinet doors and my favorite, doggie gates. I’m a pretty mellow guy. I spend my days observing all my buddies at No Bonz and being the staff’s little helper (at least that’s what Jake calls me). I like it when I get called handsome and am the center of attention of course. My favorite things to do are sleeping, eating treats, hanging out on the beach and ROAD TRIPS!!! I LOVE ROAD TRIPS and TREATS, did I mention treats?!?!
February: Kaya
Kaya is our sweet girl who found us three years ago when she was at Multnomah County Animal Shelter. From the very first moment, she won our hearts. Ms. February enjoys being the center of attention, long walks, sweet potatoes, being tucked in with a pillow and blanket, Starbucks pup-cups, sunbathing, and world peace. She detests baths, the Oregon rain, and in true Oregon fashion, wearing a coat in such rain. She wakes up with a morning smile and goes to bed with sweet snuggles. In between, she enjoys her friends at No Bonz About It! She wags her tail at the very thought of being Dog of the Month! Kaya is a very special girl and she has a big presence here at no bonz. She flashed us her trademark smile on her first day of daycare and has been melting our hearts ever since. She likes her little routine here, often starting the day with a quick nap, and then moving over to her perch on top of one of the crates where she can keep an eye on her many friends. Kaya hugs like a human, and is very generous with her affection. No Tuesday or Thursday is complete without lots of love from our girl!
