Story
Eloise is a five-year-old wadi dog (a village dog) from Oman. We adopted her a few years ago but have not been able to give her the home she needs. She is incredibly smart, independent, loyal, and curious, and we think she would truly thrive in a home with some land and at least one other dog. As a village dog, she is domesticated but still has that independent nature where she craves freedom and exploration and lots and lots of exercise. She can be nervous around strangers and reactive toward big trucks, outdoor cats, and some people due to her history on the street. However, she is very loving, affectionate, and loyal once she gets to know you. She has taken multiple obedience classes and knows basic commands. She is also house trained and is super clean. Eloise is a very cat-like dog: she is self-reliant and wants attention on her own terms. But she is a wonderful companion and would add a lot of love and liveliness to the right home!

Story
Adoption Fee - $75. Weight - 50 Pounds. Age - 6 Years Old. Duke is a highly intelligent, active , loyal boy. He is an only dog and good for an active family. He loves being outdoors and taking long walks or hikes with his people. He requires a strong handler who can put him through all the training he has learned from Rob at The Bully Squad (see their Instagram page the bully squad). Duke comes with 2 FREE training lessons with The Bully Squad. He also comes with an 8 page owners manual. Duke needs a patient , loving family who have time and patience to let his wonderful personality shine through. Indoors , Duke is super chill and enjoys being in his comfy bed. He is also a cuddle bug indoors once he knows and trusts his family. He needs a family that does not have a lot of visitors coming in and out of the house. He does protect his family and territory. An apartment or home would be equally good for Duke as long as he can be active and taken on long walks.  Some of the training commands Duke knows are : Sit, Stay, Down, Paw or Other Paw, Place, Ok, Drop It, Leave It, Touch, Heel, and Go To Bed. Duke is house and crate trained and good with children 12 years old and older. He does need anxiety meds and if left alone all day will be fine as along as he is given his medication. Duke is slow to trust ( characteristic of the Jindo breed) but once trust is built up, he is loving and cuddly and your best friend. Duke is a loyal, active, loving, wonderful boy and deserves a forever loving family to call his own. Please give him the chance to thrive. Duke is currently in board and train and has been there since February 2024. He is doing great with his trainers! If interested in adopting Duke, kindly fill out the application found here: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions In filling out this adoption application, I understand that Ozzie and Friends Rescue cannot guarantee that the dog applied for is yours to adopt upon completion of application. We also want to disclaim that all dogs are rescued so we cannot 100% know the exact breed.May 1, 2024, 7:53 pm

Story
Joey was given up when his family had a human baby. Joey is timid but goofy. He is loyal and loves to sleep in. He is medium energy and prefers quiet homes and quiet neighborhoods. He loves the country and being outdoors, but also loves a nice couch and sleeping at your feet. He needs a home where someone will work to gain his trust as he is still struggling after being left behind by his former family. If you would like to meet or learn more about JOEY please email us at adoptions@startrescue.org, and we will reach out to you within 36 hours. Alternatively, you can apply to adopt her (and we will reach out to you to set up a meet and greet). the application can be found here: https://www.startrescue.org/adopt
