  Meet Estella! ❤️ A Tiny Little Star Ready to Shine in Her Forever Home! Breed: Chihuahua Terrier Mix Gender: Female Age: July 30, 2026 (3 Months) Weight: 6.5 lbs  Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: Playful | Curious | Sweet | Typical Puppy Personality Medical: Dewormed ✔️ | 1 Puppy Vaccination Administered ✔️ | Spay Status: Not Confirmed Adoption: Available Through Ozzie and Friends Rescue ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Meet Estella, an adorable 3-month-old Terrier mix weighing just 6.5 pounds! This precious little girl is at the beginning of her life and searching for a loving family who will help her grow into a happy, confident companion. Her beautiful name is associated with the stars, and Estella is ready to become the shining star of someone's home! At three months old, Estella is experiencing the exciting world of puppyhood. Like most puppies her age, she is expected to be curious, playful, and eager to explore her surroundings. Her individual personality is still developing, giving her future family the wonderful opportunity to watch her grow and discover what makes her special. Currently weighing only 6.6 pounds, Estella is a petite puppy with more growing to do. Her adult size will depend on her genetics and development. About the Terrier Breed Terriers are known for their intelligence, lively personalities, curiosity, and determination. Originally developed for various working purposes, many Terriers are energetic little dogs who enjoy exploring, playing, and spending time with their families. As a Terrier mix, Estella may inherit characteristics such as: Intelligence: Terriers are often quick learners who enjoy mental challenges and interactive activities. Playfulness: Many enjoy games, toys, and opportunities to explore. Affection: Terriers can develop strong bonds with their families and enjoy companionship. Confidence: Their spirited nature can make them entertaining and engaging companions. Independence: Some Terriers have a determined personality and benefit from consistent, patient training. Curiosity: They may enjoy investigating new sights, sounds, and smells. Because Estella is a mixed breed, her temperament, appearance, adult size, and energy level may vary from these general breed characteristics. Estella's Ideal Home Estella would be a wonderful addition to a family prepared for the joys and responsibilities of raising a young puppy. Her ideal home will provide a safe environment, plenty of companionship, appropriate exercise, and consistent guidance as she grows. She is considered suitable for homes with other dogs and children, provided introductions are handled carefully and interactions are supervised. Her compatibility with cats has not yet been established. Because Estella is currently very small, young children should be taught to handle her gently, and playtime with larger dogs should always be supervised. Estella doesn't need a perfect family. She needs a patient, committed family who will love her through every stage of life. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At just three months old, Estella is beginning to learn the skills she will need throughout her life. Puppies are not born knowing household rules, and rescue puppies may arrive with little or no formal training. Her future family should be prepared to teach her through positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency. Essential Puppy Training House Training: Establish a regular bathroom schedule, offer frequent potty breaks, and reward successful habits. Crate Training: Introduce a comfortable, secure resting space using positive experiences. Basic Commands: Begin teaching sit, come, stay, and leave it through short, engaging training sessions. Leash Training: Help Estella become comfortable wearing a properly fitted harness and walking safely. Bite Inhibition: Redirect normal puppy mouthing and nipping toward appropriate toys. Socialization: Introduce her gradually to people, sounds, environments, and safe interactions with other animals. Household Manners: Establish consistent expectations for chewing, jumping, and appropriate play. Understanding Puppy Behavior At Estella's age, occasional bathroom accidents, chewing, playful nipping, and bursts of energy are normal. She will also need plenty of sleep, regular meals, and frequent opportunities to rest. Because Terriers can be intelligent and independent, consistent training will be especially valuable as Estella enters adolescence. Her family should focus on rewarding good behavior rather than punishing normal puppy mistakes. Exercise & Enrichment Estella's exercise should be appropriate for her young age and developing body. Short play sessions, interactive toys, gentle exploration, and simple training games will help keep her mentally and physically engaged. Strenuous exercise, repetitive jumping, and long-distance running should be avoided while she is growing. Since her vaccination series is incomplete, outdoor activities and socialization should follow veterinary guidance. Dog parks and areas frequently used by dogs of unknown vaccination status should be avoided until she is adequately protected. The 3-3-3 Rule Bringing a rescue dog home requires patience and understanding. First 3 Days: Estella may need time to decompress and become familiar with her new surroundings. First 3 Weeks: She will begin learning household routines, expectations, and daily schedules. First 3 Months: She may become more confident, comfortable, and bonded with her family. These are general guidelines, not deadlines. Every dog adjusts differently. Providing a predictable routine, a comfortable resting space, and gentle encouragement will help Estella feel secure. With patience and positive experiences, Estella can develop the confidence and good habits needed to become a wonderful family companion. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Estella has received the following early veterinary care: Deworming treatment administered. One puppy vaccination administered. Her veterinary care is still in progress because she is only three months old. Vaccinations & Preventive Care Estella will require additional puppy vaccinations and boosters according to her veterinarian's recommended schedule. Her future family must review her medical records and complete the appropriate vaccination series, including rabies vaccination when required. Because she has received only one reported vaccine, she should not be considered fully vaccinated. Her adopter should also continue veterinarian-recommended parasite prevention and follow-up deworming as needed. Spay Requirements Estella's spay status has not been confirmed. If she has not been spayed, her future family must follow veterinary recommendations and Ozzie and Friends Rescue's sterilization requirements. A refundable spay deposit may apply if she is adopted before the procedure is completed. Nutrition & Growth At 6.6 pounds, Estella is a small, growing puppy who needs balanced nutrition appropriate for her age and expected adult size. Her family should provide: High-quality puppy food. An appropriate feeding schedule. Fresh drinking water. Regular weight monitoring. Safe chew toys for teething. Veterinary examinations to monitor healthy development. Because small puppies can be vulnerable to injury, her home should be puppy-proofed to prevent falls, access to electrical cords, ingestion of small objects, and other hazards. Terrier Health Considerations Depending on her genetics, some Terrier mixes may be predisposed to dental disease, skin sensitivities, ear problems, or orthopedic conditions such as patellar luxation. These are general breed-related considerations, not diagnosed conditions in Estella. Regular veterinary care, proper nutrition, dental hygiene, grooming, and healthy weight management will support her long-term well-being. Lifelong Owner Responsibilities Adopting Estella means accepting responsibility for her health, safety, and happiness throughout her life. Her family should be financially and emotionally prepared for routine veterinary visits, unexpected medical expenses, nutritious food, training, grooming, exercise, and daily companionship. Puppies require considerable time and supervision. As Estella matures, her needs and behavior will change, and her family must be willing to adjust accordingly. Adoption is a lifelong commitment, not just a commitment to the adorable puppy stage. Estella deserves a family who will care for her through puppyhood, adulthood, and her senior years. Adoption Information Interested in giving Estella a loving forever home? Complete an adoption application: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions Ozzie and Friends Rescue is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization 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 age, vaccination status, and veterinary clearance. Our adoption process helps ensure that each dog is matched with a family prepared to provide appropriate care, training, and lifelong commitment. Because Estella is still a young puppy, her adopter must be prepared to complete her vaccinations, follow the rescue's spay requirements, and continue her development through responsible puppy care. Estella is a tiny little star with a beautiful future waiting ahead of her! At just three months old and 6.6 pounds, she has a whole lifetime of adventures, discoveries, and happy memories yet to experience. She needs a family who will guide her through puppyhood, celebrate her milestones, and provide the unconditional love every rescue dog deserves. With the right home, Estella can grow from a precious little puppy into a cherished lifelong companion. Could you be the family who gives this little star her chance to shine? ❤️   November 9, 2026, 11:07 am

Meet Yoda! ❤️ A Tiny Little Gentleman with a Big Personality Waiting to Bloom! Breed: Chihuahua Terrier Mix Gender: Male DOB: September 21, 2026 Age: 7 Weeks Current Weight: 2 lbs — Still Growing Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality Profile: Observant, Affectionate, Curious, and Clever Medical: Puppy Vaccinations in Progress | Neuter Planned at Age-Appropriate Time ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Meet Yoda, a darling 7-week-old Chihuahua Terrier mix weighing just 2 pounds! This little gentleman is searching for a forever family who will give him the love, attention, and guidance he needs to grow into a wonderful companion. Yoda's suggested personality is that of a thoughtful little observer who likes to take in his surroundings before joining the fun. He may develop into an affectionate companion who enjoys being close to his favorite people while showing off a curious, playful side. About the Chihuahua Terrier Mix Chihuahuas are known for their loyalty, alertness, and bold personalities, while Terriers often bring intelligence, curiosity, and enthusiasm for play. This combination can produce a small dog with plenty of character. Yoda may enjoy interactive toys, learning tricks, exploring new environments, and developing close relationships with his family. Although small in size, Chihuahua Terrier mixes still need daily activity, training, and socialization. Yoda could be a lovely companion for an individual, couple, or family willing to meet those needs. He is considered suitable for homes with dogs and children, although interactions with larger animals and young children should be carefully supervised. His compatibility with cats is unknown. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Yoda will need patient guidance with house training, basic commands, leash walking, and appropriate puppy behavior. Small-breed puppies can require frequent bathroom breaks, so establishing a consistent routine early is especially helpful. Positive reinforcement will encourage confidence without overwhelming him. His family should also help him become comfortable with gentle handling, grooming, and everyday household experiences. Safe socialization is important, but exposure to high-risk public dog areas should wait until his veterinarian confirms adequate vaccine protection. The 3-3-3 Rule: Give Yoda approximately three days to decompress, three weeks to understand his new routine, and three months to develop deeper trust. These are flexible guidelines, not strict deadlines. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Yoda is beginning his puppy vaccination series and will need additional vaccines, boosters, deworming, parasite prevention, and regular veterinary examinations. He will be neutered when age-appropriate according to veterinary guidance and rescue requirements. Chihuahua Terrier mixes may have predispositions to dental disease, patellar luxation, and tracheal sensitivity. Very small puppies can also be vulnerable to low blood sugar if they go too long without eating. These are general considerations, not diagnosed conditions in Yoda. His family should provide appropriate puppy nutrition, regular meals, a secure environment, and gentle handling. A properly fitted harness is preferable to putting pressure on his delicate neck. Adoption Information Yoda is available through Ozzie and Friends Rescue, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit helping rescued dogs find loving forever families. We coordinate safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States when puppies meet the necessary age, vaccination, and veterinary requirements. A refundable neuter deposit may apply if Yoda is adopted before sterilization. Yoda may only weigh 3 pounds today, but he has a lifetime of love waiting to be shared! This precious little boy needs a family who will protect him, encourage his confidence, and celebrate every step of his journey. Could Yoda be the tiny companion who brings a whole lot of happiness into your life? ❤️ Apply to Adopt: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptionsNovember 9, 2026, 11:07 am

Story
Hi, I`m Franklin! (But you can call me Frankie!) I`m a little guy at just over 8 lbs but I have a whole lot of love to give! I`ve been through a lot, so I`m still learning that the world isn`t such a scary place. Loud noises and sudden movements can startle me, but I`m gaining confidence every day! I need another dog my size to help me gain confidence and to learn what a dog is all about. When things get scary, I know exactly where I want to be: snuggled up in someone`s arms! In fact, when I first met my foster mom at the rescue, I climbed right into her lap for comfort before we`d even been introduced! I`ve already figured out that humans make wonderful safe places. I`m a total cuddle bug who loves being close to my people and keeping them in sight. I`m also doing really well sleeping in my kennel at night! And when my people come home? I get SO excited that I break out my silliest zoomies! Who knew such a little guy could have so much wiggle? I`m still figuring out this walking-on-a-leash thing, I am not comfortable going potty while on that leash thing, So please I need a fenced yard so I can potty in private. By the way i do not potty in the house. Sometimes I get nervous and freeze in my tracks when walking with my foster siblings, but having another dog along makes me feel much braver! I`ve been getting along well with my small furry friends, and they help me feel more confident. And did I mention my side-eye game? It`s LEGENDARY! I may be small and shy, but I`ve mastered the art of giving you a look that says, `I`m judging you!` Because I`m tiny and easily startled, I`d probably do best in a home without very young children. I`m looking for a patient, loving family to help me continue building my confidence. In return, I promise endless snuggles, affection, and plenty of personality! If you`re looking for a sweet, snuggly little shadow with silly zoomies, a legendary side-eye, and a whole lot of love, I might just be your guy! To meet me fill out the Dog Adoption Application on OFOSA.ORG and my foster mom will be in-touch. I have had a dental, neutered, microchipped and up to date on my vaccines. My adoption Fee is $340.

Juliette and Jenny are a tiny bonded pair around 3 years old and need to be adopted together.  They are both very sweet and affectionate. They get along will with other dogs, although Jenny is an alpha female and likes to be in charge of other dogs but she is very friendly.  Juliette is very shy but will not pass on a chance to be in your lap and snuggle down deep.  Both dogs walk well on a leash and do not mind the crate too much as long as they are together.  Their favorite place to be is with their human.  They are great companion dogs.  They would do best in a low stress, quiet home together. They are spay, microchip and all their shots. To meet these little angels please fill out the Dog Adoption Application on OFOSA.ORG and the foster parent will contact you. Their adoption fee is $ 580 total for 2 little angels.

Story
Introducing Cole, the small Chihuahua with a big attitude. This little guy can be spicy. He is curious about the world around him once he feels safe. Cole is crate trained and his crate is his safe space. Cole is potty trained, though he has marked when he first arrived at his fosters. Cole gets confidence from other dogs and finds comfort being part of a pack. He is amazing with his foster sisters and wants to groom one of them. He is a dogs dog. Cole came to us with a very little human interaction. He will initiate contact, but strictly on his terms. He is not the small dog you pick up and cuddle at this stage. Cole absolutely adores playing with small toys. He loves being out in the yard and will absolutely need a secure fenced yard. Cole recently worked with a trainer on leash training and safe handling. This is a work in progress. We believe Cole would thrive in a forever home with one or two friendly, confident little dogs to help show him the ropes. Dogs around 25 pounds and under would likely be the best fit. Cole will require patience, training and consistency to be the best boy he can be. The chihuahua spicy sass is real!
