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.

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.

Meet Roxy One Eye, One Big Heart, and So Much Love to Give Breed: Chihuahua Gender: Female | Age: 09/09/2025 | Weight/Size: 12 lbs (Small) Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: ❤️ Loving | Affectionate | Friendly | Sweet-Natured Special Note: ️ Roxy is missing one eye Medical: Spayed and vaccinations up to date Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Roxy’s Story Roxy is a beautiful 1-year-old Chihuahua weighing approximately 12 pounds. This loving little girl has already been through enough to make her special—but she hasn't let her past take away her ability to love. Roxy was rescued and is missing one eye. While we don't have the details of how she lost it, what matters most is the dog she is today: a loving girl who is ready to move forward and find a family of her own. Dogs with one eye can typically adapt extremely well. Roxy may have reduced depth perception or a smaller field of vision on one side, but with a safe environment and a little consideration from her family, having one eye doesn't have to stop her from enjoying a happy, active life. Roxy is friendly with other dogs and good with children. Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown. As a Chihuahua, Roxy may share many of the traits associated with the breed. Chihuahuas are often affectionate, intelligent, alert, devoted, and deeply attached to their people. They may be little dogs, but they can have enormous personalities and form incredibly strong bonds with their families. Roxy would benefit from: Plenty of love and companionship Daily walks and appropriate exercise Positive-reinforcement training Mental stimulation and enrichment Consistent household routines Gentle handling A secure home and careful leash use Comfortable places to rest Continued veterinary care A lifelong commitment Roxy doesn't need someone to feel sorry for her. She needs someone to see the loving little dog standing in front of them and give her the life she deserves. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At only one year old, Roxy is a young adult with plenty of life ahead of her. Moving into a new home will still be a big adjustment, and she should be given time to become comfortable with her new surroundings and routine. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best. Her adopter should be prepared to continue working on: House training as needed Leash manners Basic commands Household boundaries Recall Comfortable handling Continued socialization Because Roxy has vision on only one side, approaching her calmly and allowing her to realize someone is there before touching her—particularly from her blind side—can help prevent startling her. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand her new household routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home Patience, consistency, affection, and positive reinforcement will help Roxy understand that she's safe and that her new family isn't going anywhere. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Roxy's spay and vaccination status were not provided, so her complete medical records should be reviewed with her veterinarian. Because she has one eye, her remaining eye is especially important. Her family should make routine eye care part of her overall veterinary care and contact a veterinarian if they notice redness, squinting, discharge, cloudiness, injury, or changes in vision. Her future family should provide: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Vaccinations and boosters as recommended Spaying if not already completed Routine monitoring of her remaining eye Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Routine dental care Quality nutrition and healthy weight management Daily appropriate exercise Mental stimulation and enrichment Continued positive-reinforcement training Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs A safe and comfortable indoor home For a small dog like Roxy, secure doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes are especially important. Her family should also supervise interactions and protect her from unsafe jumps or overly rough play. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Roxy, please complete an adoption application at: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions Thank you for considering adoption through Ozzie and Friends Rescue, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to helping deserving dogs find safe, loving, permanent homes. Although we are based in Los Angeles, California, we coordinate safe and reliable transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. Roxy may see the world a little differently, but she loves with her whole heart. She's only one year old, and the best part of her life can still be ahead of her. She doesn't need a perfect home—just a loving, committed one that will choose her exactly as she is.October 28, 2026, 12:06 pm
