Kali was originally rescued with her mom and siblings out of some Los Angeles fires last November! She is almost a year old and mixed with Chihuahua, Weiner dog, and Dachshund!!

Story
Frosty visited NEVCCC for a bit before coming to TJO to finish healing; he was unable to control his body temperature and could only eat very small portions so as to not get sick. Frosty loves attention from humans, dislikes other dogs, and can be a loud persistent barker (so he probably would not do well in an apartment.) This little snowman is looking for a home where he can be the sole object of affection and attention.OTHER PETS: Frosty is reactive to other dogs, he'll bark and lunge to create distance from them, he will be adopted as an only pet. [Should be Only Pet]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Frosty's best fit would be with someone who understands and respects the necessity of ensuring his care plan is followed while he continues convalescing. Experience with positive reinforcement and a medically fragile dog would be ideal. [Some Experience]KIDS: Frosty is comfortable with handling, has not exhibited resource guarding while at TJO, and becomes playful in a safe environment. Frosty would likely get along with most humans and should meet any minor humans he would be living with prior to adoption. [10+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Frosty has been increasingly active as his health improves so may even end up having a higher energy level than we expected. He would do best with a combination of walks and play sessions that keep him engaged and active as he needs - regular exercise and plenty of mental enrichment such as food puzzles and games will help meet his needs. [Couch Potato / Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: Frosty is currently on a strict re-feeding plan and may need further care as he continues to recover. He was also found to have corneal ulcers. Frosty's best match would be someone that already has an established relationship with a primary veterinarian. [Intensive]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Frosty bond with his new owner as well as help him learn new skills and possibly some tricks. He may need extra patience as he begins his journey and slowly transitions to a new home. [Moderate] GROOMING: [Minimal] December 8, 2025, 3:15 pm

Story
Some dogs are naturally timid or shy, while others may not have learned to trust people while they were young. These dogs need to feel safe before they will interact with people; the work to build a relationship of trust could be a long and hard one but the experience can be one of the most rewarding of dog ownership. Chicken Little Dogs: are fearful of new people and places, take time to trust, shut down here at the shelter, and will bite if people push or try to interact too quickly. However, once they trust a person, the often become very bonded.OTHER PETS: Small Fry isn't interested in being best friends with other dogs. He's been more interested in sniffing and investigating his new environment, but is happy to hang close to his favorite people when he's feeling comfortable. He may do well with another relaxed, tolerant dog in the home. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Small Fry is nervous and slow to warm up with new people, so he would likely do best with someone that has experience with helping nervous dogs adjust to new environments and positive reinforcement in order to avoid creating additional pressure and any unnecessary sense of conflict. [Some Experience]KIDS: Small Fry has been tolerant of handling and hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding while here at TJO. Since he's so wary of new people though, he will likely do best in a home without a lot of noise or foot traffic. Older kids who are able to understand how to interact with him and when to let him have his own space would be best. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Small Fry is reluctant to walk on a leash but has been okay with being carried once he trusts someone. He's more than happy to curl up in a warm bed, but enjoys his leisurely walks around an enclosed yard when the weather is fair enough. A combination of regular exercise and plenty of mental enrichment such as food puzzles and games will help meet his needs. [Couch Potato]VETERINARY CARE: Small Fry is currently in need of a dental but otherwise seems to be in good health. [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Small Fry is still at the beginning of his positive training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while he adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Small Fry not only learn his basic cues, but also help him to feel more comfortable and confident in himself! It will provide a good opportunity for him to bond with his new owner as well. [Minimal]GROOMING: Due to his fur texture and length, Rico will need to be brushed routinely in order to prevent him from becoming matted. He may also do well with professional grooming appointments to help keep him clean and comfortable. [Routine Brushing]December 10, 2025, 9:52 am

Story
OTHER PETS: Rico was neutral around other dogs, and didn't have a lot of interest in saying hello. He could get along well with another mellow dog in the home, but as always he must meet any dogs he'll be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Rico would do best with someone that has an established relationship with a vet, and experience or willingness to learn about positive reinforcement. [Some Experience]KIDS: Rico is comfortable with handling and hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding while at TJO. He would likely be a good match as a family dog, but as always interactions between children and dogs should always be actively monitored to ensure that both parties remain comfortable and safe. [Likely (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Rico has not shown much interest in playing, but he does enjoy short walks around the block! While he's fairly independent, he will seek out his favorite people when he wants attention and is happy to spend time out in the sun. It's also possible that once his eye is removed and he receives a dental, his energy level will change. A combination of regular, moderate exercise and plenty of mental enrichment such as food puzzles and games will help meet his needs. [Couch Potato / Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: Rico currently needs one of his eyes removed and has signs of dental disease. He would likely do best with someone that has an established relationship with a primary veterinarian. [Above Average]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Rico to not only learn his basic cues & skills, but also help him to bond with his new owner. [Minimal]GROOMING: Due to his fur texture and length, Rico will need to be brushed routinely in order to prevent him from becoming matted. He may also do well with professional grooming appointments to help keep him clean and comfortable. [Routine Brushing]December 10, 2025, 9:52 am

Story
OTHER PETS: Lindsay is dog reactive (meaning she will bark and lunge to create space) when she feels threatened. Because of this, she would do best as the only pet in the home, where she can feel safe and secure without the stress of animal interactions. [Should Be Only Pet]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Lindsay would do best with someone that has experience with positive reinforcement to help a dog-reactive dog feel more comfortable while providing the management that she may require. [Some Experience]KIDS: Lindsay has exhibited resource guarding around her food and high-value treats while at the shelter, so she needs to be left alone while she eats her meals or while she's enjoying any kind of treat in order to avoid creating unnecessary conflict. She would do best in a home with no children and adults that can understand how to interact with her, and when to leave her alone. [Adults Only]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Lindsay loves to play and run around with her favorite people! She'll eagerly jump up into your lap for attention, and then jump off to chase after a ball at the drop of a hat. She's got a high energy level for a smaller dog, and will do best with someone that can keep up with her activity while also providing her with necessary mental enrichment to keep her healthy and happy. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Lindsay is still at the beginning of her training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Lindsay not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well. [Moderate]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding within the home.
