Story
Kona is a very sweet and loyal girl. She hasn't been with us long so we are still watching her and learning more about her as she opens up and gets comfortable with us, but so far she has shown us that she is willing to trust. Kona's former owner reports that Kona is great with other dogs, has been around younger children and has met cats and shows no real interest in them. She loves the water and loves to go swimming! She is housebroken, leash-trained, off-leash trained, and knows her basic commands. She's just looking for the right family who will be able to give her the love and dedication she is craving!  ##2768320##

Meet Tin Tin Calm, Social, and Always Happy to Go for a Walk Breed: Carolina Dog Canaan Mix Gender: Male | Age: 09/12/2023 | Weight/Size: 44 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown — has not lived or interacted directly with cats Personality: ❤️ Loving | Social | Calm | Loves Leash Walks Medical: ✔️ Neutered | ✔️ Vaccinations Up to Date | Previous Leg Injury Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Tin Tin’s Story Tin Tin is a handsome 3-year-old Carolina Dog / Canaan Dog mix weighing approximately 44 pounds. He is a wonderfully calm, loving, and social boy who enjoys being around people and gets along well with other dogs. Tin Tin has not had direct interaction with cats, so his compatibility with them is currently unknown. One of Tin Tin's favorite activities is going for walks on a leash. He has a relaxed personality but genuinely enjoys getting outside, exploring, and spending time with his people. He could be a wonderful match for someone looking for a companion who enjoys daily walks without being described as overwhelmingly high-energy. When Tin Tin was rescued, one of his legs was injured. Unfortunately, no one knew exactly what had happened to him before his rescue. He was given rest and time to recover. His future family should share this history with their veterinarian and continue monitoring the leg for any signs of discomfort or changes in mobility. As a Carolina Dog / Canaan Dog mix, Tin Tin may share traits associated with these intelligent, alert, athletic, and loyal breeds. They can form strong relationships with their families and benefit from consistency, positive-reinforcement training, regular exercise, and opportunities to use their minds. Tin Tin would thrive with a family that gives him companionship, regular walks, enrichment, structure, affection, and plenty of opportunities to be part of everyday family life. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Tin Tin already enjoys walking on a leash, which is a wonderful activity for his future family to continue. Like any rescue dog entering a new environment, he will still need time to learn his family's schedule, expectations, and household rules. Rescue dogs may have basic training at best, so adopters should continue reinforcing leash manners, basic commands, recall, and household boundaries through positive-reinforcement training. The 3-3-3 Rule 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand his new household routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home Even a social, easygoing dog deserves the opportunity to adjust at his own pace. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Tin Tin is neutered and current on his vaccinations. Because he arrived at rescue with an injured leg of unknown origin, his adopter should make sure his veterinarian is aware of that history. If limping, discomfort, swelling, stiffness, reluctance to exercise, or other mobility changes appear, he should receive veterinary evaluation rather than simply being placed on rest again. His family should continue providing routine wellness exams, recommended vaccinations, parasite prevention, dental care, quality nutrition, healthy weight management, regular grooming, appropriate exercise, and veterinary treatment whenever needed. Keeping Tin Tin at a healthy weight is also especially beneficial for reducing unnecessary stress on his joints and previously injured leg. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Tin Tin, please complete an adoption application at: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions Ozzie and Friends Rescue is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing dogs in need and helping them find safe, loving forever homes. While based in Southern California, we coordinate safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. Adopting Tin Tin means committing to his continued veterinary care, exercise, training, safety, companionship, and happiness for the rest of his life. Tin Tin has already made it through an uncertain past and an injured leg, but what stands out about him today is his gentle nature. He's calm, social, loving, and happiest when he gets to head out for a walk with someone by his side. Now he just needs that person to keep walking beside him—for good. October 15, 2026, 1:12 pm
