  Meet Jack A Handsome Terrier-Shepherd Mix Ready for His Forever Home! Name: Jack (Macho) Breed: Terrier / Shepherd Mix Gender: Male | Age: 4 Years DOB: 10/27/2022 Weight: 14.5 kg / Approximately 32 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: Individual temperament and activity preferences to be confirmed Medical: Neutered ✔️ | Vaccinated ✔️ | Flea Prevention Administered ✔️ | Distemper Screening ✔️ | 4DX Testing ✔️ Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Safe transportation coordinated for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Meet Jack, a handsome 4-year-old Terrier-Shepherd mix weighing approximately 32 pounds! This wonderful boy is searching for a loving forever family who will give him the stability, companionship, and care every rescue dog deserves. At four years old, Jack is a mature adult with many wonderful years ahead of him. He's past the earliest stages of puppyhood and at an age when dogs can continue building strong relationships with their families while learning new routines and skills. With his manageable medium size and interesting combination of Terrier and Shepherd heritage, Jack has the potential to become a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates intelligent, engaging dogs. Although Jack's individual temperament and favorite activities have not yet been fully documented, his breed background offers helpful insight into the type of enrichment, training, and lifestyle that may suit him. About the Terrier-Shepherd Mix Terriers and Shepherds are two distinctive groups of dogs, both known for their intelligence, enthusiasm, and strong working backgrounds. As a Terrier-Shepherd mix, Jack may inherit characteristics from either side of his heritage. Typical Terrier Characteristics: Curious and alert: Terriers often enjoy exploring their surroundings and investigating interesting sights and smells. Intelligent and determined: Many are quick learners who appreciate engaging activities. Energetic and playful: Terriers frequently enjoy interactive games and daily exercise. Independent thinkers: They can benefit from consistent, positive training and clear household expectations. Typical Shepherd Characteristics: Intelligent and trainable: Shepherd breeds often respond well to structured learning and positive reinforcement. Loyal and people-oriented: Many develop strong attachments to their families. Active and athletic: Shepherds generally benefit from regular exercise and mental stimulation. Observant and attentive: Their working backgrounds can make them especially aware of their environments. Because Jack is a mixed breed, his individual personality may differ from these general breed tendencies. His future family should be prepared to learn about his unique preferences, activity level, and behavior as he settles into his new home. At approximately 32 pounds, Jack is a medium-sized dog who may fit comfortably into a variety of living arrangements, provided his exercise, enrichment, and companionship needs are met. Jack deserves a family who will get to know him as an individual, appreciate his unique personality, and give him the opportunity to enjoy a happy, secure life. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At four years old, Jack is an adult dog who will benefit from a consistent routine, positive reinforcement training, and patient guidance. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house training if needed, leash manners, basic obedience, recall, calm greetings, household boundaries, and appropriate socialization. Terrier-Shepherd mixes can be intelligent and curious, making mental enrichment an important part of their daily routine. Jack's future family should use patience, encouragement, and consistency to help him understand what is expected in his new home. Exercise & Daily Activities Depending on his individual energy level, Jack may enjoy: Regular daily walks and opportunities to explore. Interactive games and supervised playtime. Positive reinforcement obedience training. Puzzle toys and scent-based enrichment activities. Spending quality time with his family. A consistent routine that balances exercise, learning, and relaxation. His exercise routine should be adjusted to his individual fitness, preferences, and veterinary recommendations. Living With Other Pets Jack is considered suitable for homes with other dogs and children, with appropriate introductions and supervision. His compatibility with cats has not yet been confirmed. Because some Terriers have strong chasing instincts and some Shepherd breeds have herding tendencies, introductions to cats and other small animals should be approached carefully. All introductions should be gradual, supervised, and respectful of each animal's comfort level. The 3-3-3 Rule Every rescue dog needs time to adjust to a new environment. 3 Days: Time to decompress, observe his surroundings, and begin feeling safe. 3 Weeks: Time to understand his new household routine, build confidence, and become more comfortable. 3 Months: Time to strengthen his bond with his family, settle into daily life, and begin feeling truly at home. These are general guidelines rather than strict deadlines. Every dog adjusts at their own pace. Jack deserves a family who will provide patience, stability, encouragement, and reassurance as he settles into his forever home. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Jack has received important veterinary care and preventive treatment in preparation for his next chapter. His reported medical information includes: Neutered: Jack has been sterilized. Vaccinated: His vaccinations have been administered. Flea Prevention: Jack has received anti-flea treatment. Distemper Screening: A distemper check has been performed. 4DX Testing: Jack has undergone a 4DX screening, commonly used to check for heartworm disease and certain tick-borne infections. Important: The results of Jack's distemper screening and 4DX test have not been provided. His future adopter should review the veterinary records to confirm the results and determine whether any follow-up care is needed. Important Terrier-Shepherd Health Considerations As a medium-sized Terrier-Shepherd mix, Jack will benefit from preventive healthcare and regular monitoring throughout his life. Depending on his individual genetics, some potential considerations include: Joint and orthopedic health: Certain Shepherd breeds may be predisposed to hip or elbow concerns, making healthy weight management and appropriate exercise important. Skin and coat health: Some Terriers can be susceptible to skin sensitivities or allergies. Dental health: Regular brushing and veterinary dental evaluations help prevent periodontal disease. Weight management: Maintaining a healthy weight supports mobility, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being. Parasite prevention: Continued flea, tick, and heartworm prevention should be discussed with a veterinarian. Routine wellness screening: Regular examinations help identify potential concerns early. These are general breed-related considerations and should not be interpreted as diagnosed conditions in Jack. Daily Care & Owner Responsibilities Jack will need: High-quality nutrition appropriate for his age, weight, and activity level. Regular veterinary examinations and preventive healthcare. Daily exercise and mental enrichment suited to his individual needs. Routine grooming, dental care, and nail maintenance. Consistent flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention as recommended by his veterinarian. Continued training and positive socialization to support good household manners. A safe, secure living environment with appropriate supervision during outdoor activities. Plenty of companionship, patience, and affection as he adjusts to his new family. Adopting Jack is a lifelong commitment that includes providing proper nutrition, veterinary care, training, exercise, safety, companionship, and unconditional love.

Catniss's favorite things: Loves people and other dogs Walks beautifully on a leash House trained Crate trained Loves soaking up the sunshine Enjoys running and playing in the backyard Happy to curl up on the couch for some relaxation Catniss has settled into foster care wonderfully. While she had a couple of accidents when she first arrived (which is completely normal during the adjustment period), she's been doing great and has been successfully house trained with just one daily walk. She can become interested in chasing cats, so a cat-free home or one with careful introductions and management would likely be the best fit. She is also athletic and capable of jumping a lower fence, so she'll need a securely fenced yard or to be supervised when outside. Catniss is ready to find a family who will give her the love, exercise, and companionship she deserves. In return, she'll fill your home with joy, tail wags, and unconditional love.

Meet Cookie! ❤️ A Sweet Little Girl with a Curious Spirit! Breed: Cairn Terrier Mix Gender: Female DOB: September 21, 2026 Age: 7 Weeks Current Weight: 2 lbs — Still Growing Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality Profile: Sweet, Curious, Playful, and Inquisitive Medical: Puppy Vaccinations in Progress | Spay Planned at Age-Appropriate Time ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Meet Cookie, an adorable little Cairn Terrier mix weighing just 2 pounds! This precious girl is at the very beginning of her journey and looking for a family who will help her grow into a happy, confident companion. Cookie's suggested personality is that of a curious little explorer with a sweet side. Imagine a puppy who enjoys investigating new toys, discovering interesting smells, and then settling down for a well-deserved nap. As she grows, her individual personality will continue to emerge. About the Cairn Terrier Mix Cairn Terriers originated in Scotland and are known for their intelligence, determination, and adventurous personalities. They are often playful, alert, and affectionate with their families. Cookie may inherit a love of exploring, interactive games, and learning new things. Cairn Terriers can also be independent thinkers, making positive reinforcement and consistent boundaries important. Her ideal family will appreciate a small dog with personality and provide daily companionship, age-appropriate play, and mental enrichment. She is considered suitable for homes with dogs and children, although her tiny size requires gentle handling and close supervision. Her compatibility with cats is unknown. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Cookie is a very young puppy who will need guidance with house training, crate training, appropriate chewing, and basic commands. Frequent bathroom breaks, a predictable schedule, and short, rewarding training sessions will help establish good habits. Safe socialization is especially important during puppyhood. Introductions to people, household sounds, and new experiences should be gentle and positive, with precautions appropriate to her incomplete vaccination status. The 3-3-3 Rule: Allow approximately three days to decompress, three weeks to learn household routines, and three months to develop deeper trust. Every puppy adjusts differently, so these are guidelines rather than deadlines. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Cookie is beginning her puppy vaccination process and will need additional vaccinations and boosters according to her veterinarian's schedule. She will also require routine deworming, parasite prevention, and wellness examinations. Her spay procedure is planned for the appropriate age, based on veterinary guidance and rescue requirements. Cairn Terrier mixes may have inherited tendencies toward skin sensitivities, dental problems, or kneecap issues. These are general breed considerations, not diagnosed conditions in Cookie. At only 2 pounds, Cookie needs careful supervision, appropriate puppy nutrition, regular meals, and protection from falls or rough play. Her future family should also be prepared for grooming, training, and lifelong veterinary expenses. Adoption Information Cookie is available through Ozzie and Friends Rescue, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to helping rescued dogs find loving forever homes. We coordinate transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States when puppies are old enough and medically cleared to travel. A refundable spay deposit may apply if Cookie is adopted before sterilization. Cookie may be tiny, but she has a whole lifetime of love and adventure ahead of her! This sweet little girl deserves a family who will celebrate every milestone, guide her through puppyhood, and love her forever.

Meet Sandy! ❤️ A Friendly Little Cairn Terrier Mix Ready to Find Her Forever Home! Breed: Cairn Terrier Mix Gender: Female Age: Unknown Weight: 16 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: Friendly, Sociable, and Sweet Medical: Vaccinations in Progress | Spay Status Not Confirmed ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Meet Sandy, a delightful 16-pound Cairn Terrier mix with a friendly personality and a wonderful opportunity for a fresh start! This lovely little girl is searching for a family who will welcome her into their home and give her the love, security, and companionship she deserves. While Sandy's exact age is unknown, one thing we do know is that she's a friendly girl! Her welcoming nature makes her a promising companion for someone looking for a small dog to share everyday life with. About the Cairn Terrier Mix Cairn Terriers originated in Scotland, where they were bred to hunt small animals among rocky terrain. These little dogs are known for their intelligence, determination, lively personalities, and affectionate relationships with their families. As a Cairn Terrier mix, Sandy may inherit several wonderful characteristics: Friendly and Affectionate: Many Cairn Terriers enjoy companionship and family interaction. Intelligent and Curious: They often enjoy learning new skills and investigating their surroundings. Playful and Spirited: Their Terrier heritage can bring enthusiasm for toys, games, and outdoor activities. Confident and Independent: They may have a determined streak that benefits from patient training. Alert and Observant: Cairn Terriers are often attentive to activity around them. These are general breed tendencies, and Sandy's individual personality and energy level will guide her needs. Sandy's Ideal Home At 16 pounds, Sandy is a convenient size for a variety of living arrangements, including apartments or houses, provided she receives appropriate exercise and attention. She would be a lovely match for an individual, couple, or family seeking a friendly companion who can participate in everyday activities. Sandy is considered suitable for homes with other dogs and children, with proper introductions and supervision. Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown. Sandy deserves a family who will appreciate her friendly spirit and make her a cherished part of their lives. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Because Sandy's age and previous training history are unknown, her adopter should be prepared to help her learn household routines and reinforce basic manners. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so patience and positive reinforcement are important. Sandy may benefit from: Consistent house training and bathroom routines. Gentle leash training and basic obedience. Daily walks and supervised outdoor exploration. Interactive toys, scent games, and mental enrichment. Positive introductions to new people, pets, and environments. Cairn Terrier mixes can be clever and independent, so short, enjoyable training sessions will help encourage cooperation. The 3-3-3 Rule Every rescue dog needs time to adjust to a new home: 3 Days: Decompress and begin feeling safe. 3 Weeks: Learn household routines and develop confidence. 3 Months: Build trust and feel more comfortable with the family. These are flexible guidelines rather than deadlines. A predictable routine and gentle encouragement will help Sandy settle in at her own pace. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Sandy is currently in the process of receiving her vaccinations. Her future family will need to review her medical records and complete any outstanding vaccines or boosters according to veterinary recommendations. Her spay status has not yet been confirmed. If she has not been spayed, her adopter must follow the rescue's sterilization requirements and veterinary guidance. Cairn Terrier Health Considerations Cairn Terrier mixes may have inherited predispositions to certain conditions, including: Skin Allergies: Some Cairn Terriers are prone to environmental sensitivities and skin irritation. Patellar Luxation: A kneecap condition that can affect mobility. Dental Disease: Regular tooth brushing and dental examinations help maintain oral health. Eye Conditions: Certain inherited eye disorders may occur in the breed. These are general breed-related considerations, not diagnosed conditions in Sandy. Grooming & Lifelong Care Depending on her coat type, Sandy may need regular brushing and occasional professional grooming to keep her coat healthy and comfortable. Her future family should also provide balanced nutrition, parasite prevention, routine veterinary examinations, dental hygiene, nail trimming, and appropriate exercise. Because her exact age is unknown, a veterinary assessment can help determine her individual health needs and the most suitable care routine. Adopting Sandy means providing the stability, companionship, and lifelong care every rescue dog deserves. Adoption Information Ready to welcome Sandy into your family? Ozzie and Friends Rescue is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing dogs in need and helping them find safe, loving forever homes. We coordinate safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States, subject to veterinary and travel clearance. Because Sandy's vaccinations are still in progress, any outstanding medical requirements must be addressed before transportation arrangements are finalized. Sandy is a friendly little girl with so much companionship to offer! At 16 pounds, she's a wonderful size for someone looking for a loving canine friend. Her age may be a mystery, but her future doesn't have to be. With a family who will cherish her, Sandy can begin a beautiful new chapter filled with comfort, kindness, and happy memories. Could you be the one to give Sandy the forever home she's been waiting for? ❤️ Apply to Adopt: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptionsNovember 9, 2026, 3:35 pm

Meet Elmo! ❤️ A Little Bundle of Sunshine with a Playful Heart! Breed: Cairn Terrier Mix Gender: Female DOB: September 21, 2026 Age: 7 Weeks Current Weight: 2 lbs — Still Growing Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality Profile: Cheerful, Playful, Affectionate, and Spirited Medical: Puppy Vaccinations in Progress | Spay Planned at Age-Appropriate Time ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Meet Elmo, an absolutely precious Cairn Terrier mix weighing just 2 pounds! This adorable little girl is searching for a forever family ready to enjoy all the wonderful moments that come with raising a puppy. Elmo's suggested personality is a cheerful little social butterfly who enjoys attention, playful games, and being included in family activities. She could grow into the kind of companion who makes ordinary days more entertaining with her curious expressions and playful antics. About the Cairn Terrier Mix Cairn Terriers are small but spirited dogs, known for their intelligence, courage, and lively personalities. Originally bred as working Terriers, they often enjoy activities that challenge their minds and satisfy their natural curiosity. Elmo may develop a confident, affectionate personality with a playful independent streak. Interactive toys, gentle exploration, and positive training can help channel those natural instincts. Her ideal home will provide plenty of affection while understanding that even the smallest puppies need structure and guidance. Elmo is considered suitable for homes with other dogs and children, with careful introductions and supervision. Her compatibility with cats has not been established. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Elmo is at the beginning of her learning journey. Her family should be prepared for house training, puppy nipping, chewing, and the occasional mischievous adventure. Reward-based training, regular bathroom breaks, safe toys, and a consistent routine will help her develop good manners. Because Terriers can be clever and determined, keeping lessons short and enjoyable will encourage cooperation. Socialization should focus on positive, controlled experiences while her vaccination series is incomplete. The 3-3-3 Rule: The first three days are for decompression, the first three weeks for learning routines, and the first three months for building trust. Elmo may progress faster or slower, and that's perfectly normal. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Elmo is in the process of receiving her puppy vaccinations. Her adopter must complete the recommended vaccination series and provide regular wellness care, deworming, and parasite prevention. She will be spayed when age-appropriate, following veterinary recommendations and rescue requirements. Cairn Terrier mixes may be predisposed to skin allergies, dental concerns, and certain joint conditions. These are potential breed considerations, not known medical problems in Elmo. At just 2 pounds, Elmo is particularly delicate. Her family must provide suitable puppy food, regular meals, gentle handling, and a safe environment free from hazards. As she grows, she may also require regular brushing or professional grooming, depending on her coat type. Adoption Information Elmo is available through Ozzie and Friends Rescue, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit committed to finding safe, permanent homes for rescued dogs. Transportation can be coordinated for approved adopters throughout the United States once Elmo meets the necessary age and veterinary requirements. A refundable spay deposit may apply if she is adopted before sterilization. Elmo is a tiny girl with a bright future waiting ahead of her! She deserves a family who will enjoy her playful puppy days, patiently teach her new things, and make her a cherished companion for life. If you're ready for a little extra sunshine in your home, Elmo may be the perfect addition! ❤️ Apply to Adopt: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptionsNovember 9, 2026, 3:35 pm
