Story
I adopted Molly from a rescue up in WA in 2020. Through a divorce last year, I kept her, and then we moved down to Los Angeles in early 2025. Unfortunately due to both my housing situation, and the time I spend at work, I need to find her a good and loving home. She is a total sweetheart and loves to snuggle. She doesn't do well with other dogs, and children can be overstimulating for her.

Story
Meet Xing! Breed: Chihuahua (Tripod — 3-legged hero!) Birthday: 10/28/2023 Age: 2 years old Weight: 8 Pounds Health: Healthy, vaccinated, and neutered — though he’s thriving, please visit your own vet soon after adoption to continue his great care. Personality Xing is pure sunshine in a tiny package! Despite being a tripod, he’s full of life, confidence, and heart. He doesn’t let anything slow him down — he hops and scoots with pride, ready for love, treats, and belly rubs. Xing is playful, affectionate, and loves being close to his people. He’s brave, resilient, and endlessly sweet — a little dog with a huge spirit. Breed Info Chihuahuas are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and charm. Small but fearless, they bond deeply with their people and make wonderful companions. A tripod Chihuahua like Xing may require some simple adjustments (like safe flooring or gentle handling), but their hearts are every bit as strong — and their love is absolutely boundless. Owner Responsibilities Provide gentle exercise and supervised playtime — Xing is active and enjoys exploring safely. Maintain regular vet care and preventive health. Offer affection, consistency, and understanding — tripods can do everything other dogs can! Make sure he has cozy resting spots and soft bedding for comfort. Things to Consider Before bringing Xing home, think about: Do you have time every day to play, love, and bond with him? Does your landlord allow pets, and is your home safe for a small dog? Can you provide lifelong care — food, vet visits, and training? Is your home stable and ready for a long-term furry family member? Patience is essential — rescues need time to adjust, especially when learning new routines. The 3-3-3 Rule First 3 days: Let her (him) decompress and feel safe. The world is new and full of smells and sounds. First 3 weeks: She’ll start understanding your routine, your love, and your voice. First 3 months: She’ll finally exhale — realizing she’s safe, loved, and home forever. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Commitment for Life Xing deserves a family who will stand by him through everything — who will celebrate his spirit and love him for the brave, joyful soul he is. Why Xing Would Be a Great Addition Xing’s courage will inspire you every single day. His joy is contagious, his snuggles are heartwarming, and his zest for life will remind you to embrace every moment. Adopting Xing means opening your heart to a loyal, loving companion who will fill your days with laughter, affection, and pure love.   If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue.

&#226&#156&#168 BUSTER — Male, Chihuahua Mix, DOB 12/05/2024, Weight 10 pounds Meet Buster Buster is a tiny guy with a HUGE heart. The moment he looks up at you with those big, soulful eyes, you feel it — this little boy is pure love. He has that special Chihuahua charm: a mix of sweetness, silliness, and unshakeable loyalty that makes you fall for him instantly. Buster is the kind of dog who wants nothing more than to be someone’s shadow, someone’s comfort, someone’s little piece of joy in a busy world. Personality Buster adores his people. He’s playful in a gentle, charming way and blossoms with affection and reassurance. He loves being held, loves snuggling, loves being included, and has the cutest little prance when he’s excited. He’s bright, curious, and always ready for a warm lap or a soft blanket. He may be small, but he loves big — and he wants a family who loves just as big in return. Breed Info Chihuahuas are known for their loyalty, big personalities, and deep bonds with their humans. They thrive on closeness, routine, and gentle guidance. They may be tiny, but they make some of the most devoted companions you’ll ever meet. Owner Responsibilities Buster needs patience, routine, soft guidance, and someone who understands that small dogs have big feelings. He will need regular vet care, training, gentle handling, and a home that keeps him safe and included. Things to Consider – Make sure your landlord allows pets – Consider your schedule — Buster thrives on closeness and companionship – Tiny dogs can be sensitive, so safe handling is important – Are you prepared for lifelong care, including food, vet visits, preventatives & love? – Think about your future — moves, travel, lifestyle changes all affect him – Puppies and young dogs need time, structure, and patience The 3-3-3 Rule Give him 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn your rhythms, and 3 months to truly blossom. He will slowly show you every sweet, silly, loving part of himself. Why Buster Will Be a Great Addition If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you with his whole heart, Buster is your boy. He brings warmth, sweetness, and companionship into every room he enters. He’s the dog who curls into you when you’re tired, celebrates when you’re happy, and stands by you like your tiny, loyal best friend. Bringing Buster home means bringing home love — simple, pure, and constant.

Story
Meet Toto! He is a little shy and a sweet boy who wants to be loved :) Behaviours from the foster mom : Toto loves doggie friends, but he is a bit shy. He wags his tail cheerfully and waits for other dogs to come to him first. Toto hasn't met any cat friends yet, so we don't know how he would react to them. Toto loves kids and is very comfortable around them. He seems to be more comfortable with female adults than with males. He gets scared by sudden, big movements or loud noises, so please give him some time to adjust to a new environment, especially at the beginning. :) He is good at bathing and brushing, but he is afraid of the dryer, so his foster mom is trying to help him feel more comfortable with it. He has great manners on his walks, though he sometimes gets scared by loud noises or shadows, so please make sure he is on a leash and be cautious during walks. He only does his business outside. He is not a big barker, but he sometimes barks when he hears noises from outside. He hasn't shown any signs of separation anxiety, and he doesn’t feel carsick during drives. He wasn't specifically kennel trained, but he goes into his kennel when he is told to. He is a smart boy. ;) He hasn't shown any aggressive behavior, but he sometimes nibbles when he gets scared or startled, so please don’t scare him suddenly. Toto is a sweet boy who will shine with some time in a new family. Would you be this sweet boy's loving family? :D Allergy/health issues: Toto's foster mom said that he might have an allergy to salmon. Toto had a heartworm issue when he was rescued, but he is all cured now, and he's been given heartworm and flea/tick prevention medication every month since then. He does not have any health issues at present. *Please send all inquiries to @everlove8282. *Please submit your applications through the application form on our Instagram profile! Our team will carefully consider each of your applications to find the perfect forever homes for our dogs. *As all of our dogs are currently in South Korea, there will be an adoption fee of 700USD + customs fee (if applicable) for each dog.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to LAX💟 Meet Edge💞 💙 Adogs Updates Account: @_adogs_everyday 1⃣ Health Condition • Spayed • Others: Is scheduled for retest of heartworm in May 2026, has recovered from anaplasmosis and giardia. Dental scaling completed. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Edge was living at the Gimje City Shelter, waiting for a gentle hand to reach out to her. Sadly, no family came forward to adopt her. During the week-long Chuseok holiday, the shelter became overcrowded, and it was difficult for Edge to receive the appropriate care she needed. To prevent that she would spend the long holiday alone while neglected, Adogs urgently rescued her. 3⃣ Personality & Characteristics • With People: Absolutely loves people and shows no shyness at all! Happily jumps up, follows people around closely, and loves staying by their side. Makes great eye contact and is very affectionate and sociable. • With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, including new ones she meets for the first time. • With Cats: Has no interest in cats who stay still, but rushed in to catch when they move. • Separation Anxiety: Since she’s currently living in a group environment at the center, it’s hard to assess. May need basic training when she transitions to home life. • House Training: Not yet known, as she’s currently living in a group setting at the center. * Hygiene: Has no resistance to get her feet touched. Doesn't like toenail trimming, so tries to pull her feet out during it. * Walk : Is a very good walker! Walks in step next to people. • Car Rides: Showed no signs of motion sickness during trips to and from the center or the vet clinic. * Bite: There is no aggressive bite, but gnaws heels or Achilles tendon of people when they walk by. Often bites and pulls their clothes. • Barking: Hasn’t barked or whined so far. • Likes: Is a super charming dog who adores people so much. * Dislikes: Tries to avoid getting toenail trimming.
