Meet Midnight Oreo A Distemper Survivor with a Heart Full of Hope and Love ❤️ Breed:  Terrier Mix Gender: Male | DOB: Feb 08, 2026 | Weight/Expected Size: 17 lbs  Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Cats: Unknown | Kids ✔️ Medical: ✔️ Neuter ✔️ Three Puppy Vaccinations Completed | ✔️ Microchipped | ⭐ Distemper Survivor Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue provides safe transportation to approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Midnight Oreo's Story Midnight Oreo has already overcome more in his short life than most dogs ever will. As a young puppy, he was abandoned and left to survive on his own. Without a family to protect him, he faced hunger, uncertainty, and the dangers of life on the streets. Thankfully, kind rescuers found him and gave him the care he desperately needed. Shortly after entering rescue, Midnight Oreo was diagnosed with canine distemper, a devastating disease that many puppies don't survive. Thanks to dedicated veterinary care, proper treatment, and his incredible fighting spirit, Midnight Oreo beat the odds. Today, he is a proud distemper survivor who is healthy, happy, and ready to find the loving family he has always deserved. You would never guess everything this little guy has been through. Midnight Oreo is playful, affectionate, and full of puppy enthusiasm. He loves toys, enjoys exploring new places, and is always excited to spend time with people. After a day of playing, he's happiest curled up beside you, soaking up all the love and attention he can get. Midnight Oreo is expected to grow into an intelligent, loyal, and active companion. He is  friendly, eager-to-please personalities, while Terriers add confidence, curiosity, and a playful spirit. Together, these breeds create a wonderful family companion who enjoys both adventures and quiet time with the people he loves. Midnight Oreo would thrive in a home that offers: Plenty of love and companionship Daily walks and age-appropriate exercise Positive reinforcement training Interactive toys and mental enrichment Continued socialization with people and other dogs A consistent daily routine A safe indoor home where he's treated as a beloved member of the family A lifetime of love, patience, and commitment Midnight Oreo has already proven how strong and resilient he is. Now he's ready for the easy part—a family to love and a home where he'll never have to fight for another chance again. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Midnight Oreo is still a young puppy and is learning about the world every day. His new family should expect normal puppy behaviors, including chewing, teething, house-training, and lots of curiosity. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to learn your household routine 3 Months to fully settle into family life Midnight Oreo is eager to learn and will thrive with patient, positive reinforcement training. His new family should continue providing: Positive reinforcement training House-training and consistent routines Daily exercise appropriate for his age Continued socialization Mental enrichment through toys and games Plenty of love, patience, and encouragement With guidance and consistency, Midnight Oreo will grow into a confident, well-mannered companion who will reward his family with endless loyalty and affection. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Bringing home a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes proper veterinary care, training, exercise, and companionship. As part of responsible pet ownership, Midnight Oreo will need: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Completion of any remaining vaccinations as recommended by your veterinarian Neutering when age-appropriate Monthly flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention A balanced, high-quality diet to support healthy growth Daily exercise and mental enrichment Continued obedience training and socialization A safe, loving indoor home where he is treated as a cherished member of the family As a distemper survivor, we recommend discussing his medical history with your veterinarian during his first wellness visit. Most survivors go on to live happy, fulfilling lives, and routine veterinary care will help ensure Midnight Oreo continues to thrive. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Midnight Oreo, please complete an adoption application by visiting: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions Thank you for considering adoption through Ozzie and Friends Rescue, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to giving dogs a second chance at a loving home.

Story
Little Johnny is a 10lb unique, adorable mutt.  We are guessing he is Dachshund/Chihuahua/Cattle Dog/Boston Terrier/Pug mix?  He has an adorably long body with short little legs and a squished little face.  We hope his forever family does a breed test on him because he is so cool! Johnny was dumped in a parking lot in Texas.  He was so confused and terrified the first week, that the person who found him said he wouldn't eat and was completely shut down.  We can't imagine what was going through his little mind.  He made his way to CO to prevent him from ending up in a shelter.  He has settled in here and is doing very well in his foster home.  Johnny's foster has fostered almost 100 dogs for us, and said he is the sweetest, most loving, and affectionate dog she has ever had.  Just like when he was dumped, he was terrified at first, but attached to his foster Momma pretty quickly.  He is definately a dog who bonds quickly and needs someone who can reciprocate the immense amount of unconditional love he has to give.  He gets along great with other dogs but doesn't seem interested in playing with them, yet(?).  He gets along amazingly well with cats and loves cats.  He would do great in a home with another cat as his best friend.  He also loves to play with cats.  Johnny gets along well with kiddos but since he is a nervous little guy we think older kiddos would make him most comfortable.  Johnny is just truly an amazing, affectionate, loving little guy, just looking for stability and security.

Story
Meet Cotton! This sweet Dachshund mix couldn't be more beautiful if she tried! At just about 2 years old and 15 lbs, Cotton is the perfect size. She is believed to be a Dachshund / Beagle mix, though we do not DNA test rescue dogs so this is just an educated guess by the vets. She certainly no question is a Dachshund mix - the weenie dog look is very present in this cutie!! We rescued Cotton from a small Arkansas shelter, where she had just had 7 puppies who all were sent to another local rescue. Cotton was left at the shelter waiting for her turn, and we knew we had to take her! Cotton is very friendly, and great with other dogs. Her foster had the following to say about her: "Cotton is SO incredibly sweet! She LOVES meeting new people, and loves my (male!) roommate! I could tell she was a little confused when she first came home with me, but she was still so so so friendly and sweet. She loves to cuddle, and sleeps in bed with me." Cotton will do well with any loving person who's invested in spending time with their dog. She's so pleasant and portable that she can be a part of any adventure. It can be a leisurely walk, a picnic in the park or a visit with family or friends. A car ride is also always great, especially if it leads to a fun, dog-loving spot. At day's end, a spot on or beside the bed all night will speak to the loving nature of this little dog. Current research is very clear that the best diet we can provide for our pets is a fresh, human grade diet. Farfel's recommends Chi Diet (chidog.com) due to our personal experience with our own dogs. It's one of the most important choices we make for our dogs great health and longevity. Farfel's Rescue feels very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement/force-free training classes that are virtual or in-person. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Cotton out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement / force-free virtual and in-person trainers in your area. Cotton is up to date on her vetting/vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She has also been spayed to support our hopes for zero future growth in the canine population. Coming from the south, Cotton does have heartworm. However, we have already started her treatment and will cover the full cost to finish her treatment to make sure she is heartworm-free! Heartworm is very common in the southern states, and not contagious in any way. It is fully treatable, and she has already started her treatment. Cotton is available for adoption now! Adoption applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and cuddly best friend. An app can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Cotton, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder, Rescueme and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

Story
Congratulations, you just found the best dog EVER!!! Seriously... we are all SO obsessed with Berry! Berry is a 4 year old, 23 pound little mystery mix with the most gorgeous, bright blue eyes you’ve ever seen. We and the Texas vets believe she may be a Dachshund / Husky / Chihuahua / Cattle Dog mix, although we do not DNA test our rescue dogs, so her breed is simply a best guess based on her appearance. Whatever she is, we know one thing for sure: Berry is absolutely perfect! Berry is incredibly friendly, super social, playful, super silly, and really just the sweetest thing! She knows no stranger and loves every new person she meets. She also loves other dogs and is really just a social butterfly! Berry's story is one of those that makes absolutely no sense. She was picked up as a stray in Houston and ended up in a very crowded, high-kill shelter. She was such a sweet and friendly girl that she actually made it out of the shelter's general population and into their adoption section, which gave her a chance to find a home. Unfortunately, adoptions are incredibly difficult at this particular shelter, and after a week without finding an adopter, Berry was placed on the euthanasia list. She had done absolutely nothing wrong. She was simply running out of time because no one had chosen her. Thankfully, we learned about Berry and rescued her with literally two hours to spare. We still cannot believe this wonderful little dog came so close to losing her life when she is exactly the kind of dog who should have been scooped up by a family and loved immediately. From Berry's foster: "Oh my god, I didn't know a PERFECT foster dog was a thing!!!! We love her so much! I think she is potty trained, but it's hard to completely confirm that yet since it's been just under a week that she's been here. She only has had 1 accident and it was on her first day home, which is typically normal even with a potty trained pup. She is so friendly and loves to snuggle. My roommates and I have to take turns snuggling her. She is super super silly and the queen of play bows. She gets these little tiny zoomies where she doesn't really run, but she just spins in a cute lil circle. She is so cute and so fun!" Berry does have some areas of hair loss along her body from dermatitis that has been treated. This is unfortunately something we see very frequently in dogs rescued from the Houston area. Dogs who have spent time as strays in the extreme Texas heat, without consistent nutrition, veterinary care, flea prevention, or protection from the elements, can develop dry, irritated skin and poor coat condition. Luckily she has been fully vetted, and is totally healthy. With some time and good nutrition, (she currently gets salmon oil on her food for her skin and coat and we will send her home with some as well) her coat to continue improving and growing back beautifully. Farfel's would like to see Berry in a home that includes her in family time and fun activities (and some lap or couch-time with belly rubs would be absolutely perfect!) as well as taking that extra step to participate in positive reinforcement / force free virtual or in-person obedience classes. These classes successfully teach a smart and cooperative dog like Berry the skills to accompany her family out into the world with excellent behavior. Farfel's Rescue is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person force-free / positive reinforcement trainers in your area. Berry has been fully vetted and is up to date on her vaccinations. This support Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. She has also been spayed to reinforce our commitment to a euthanasia-free future in the canine population. Berry is arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 9/30/2026. Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and very loving best friend and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

Cotton is up to date on her vetting/vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She has also been spayed to support our hopes for zero future growth in the canine population. Coming from the south, Cotton does have heartworm. However, we have already started her treatment and will cover the full cost to finish her treatment to make sure she is heartworm-free! Heartworm is very common in the southern states, and not contagious in any way. It is fully treatable, and she has already started her treatment. Cotton is available for adoption now! Adoption applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and cuddly best friend. An app can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Cotton, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder, Rescueme and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

Story
Congratulations, you just found the best dog EVER!!! Seriously... we are all SO obsessed with Berry! Berry is a 4 year old, 23 pound little mystery mix with the most gorgeous, bright blue eyes you’ve ever seen. We and the Texas vets believe she may be a Dachshund / Husky / Chihuahua / Cattle Dog mix, although we do not DNA test our rescue dogs, so her breed is simply a best guess based on her appearance. Whatever she is, we know one thing for sure: Berry is absolutely perfect! Berry is incredibly friendly, super social, playful, super silly, and really just the sweetest thing! She knows no stranger and loves every new person she meets. She also loves other dogs and is really just a social butterfly! Berry's story is one of those that makes absolutely no sense. She was picked up as a stray in Houston and ended up in a very crowded, high-kill shelter. She was such a sweet and friendly girl that she actually made it out of the shelter's general population and into their adoption section, which gave her a chance to find a home. Unfortunately, adoptions are incredibly difficult at this particular shelter, and after a week without finding an adopter, Berry was placed on the euthanasia list. She had done absolutely nothing wrong. She was simply running out of time because no one had chosen her. Thankfully, we learned about Berry and rescued her with literally two hours to spare. We still cannot believe this wonderful little dog came so close to losing her life when she is exactly the kind of dog who should have been scooped up by a family and loved immediately. From Berry's foster: "Oh my god, I didn't know a PERFECT foster dog was a thing!!!! We love her so much! I think she is potty trained, but it's hard to completely confirm that yet since it's been just under a week that she's been here. She only has had 1 accident and it was on her first day home, which is typically normal even with a potty trained pup. She is so friendly and loves to snuggle. My roommates and I have to take turns snuggling her. She is super super silly and the queen of play bows. She gets these little tiny zoomies where she doesn't really run, but she just spins in a cute lil circle. She is so cute and so fun!" Berry does have some areas of hair loss along her body from dermatitis that has been treated. This is unfortunately something we see very frequently in dogs rescued from the Houston area. Dogs who have spent time as strays in the extreme Texas heat, without consistent nutrition, veterinary care, flea prevention, or protection from the elements, can develop dry, irritated skin and poor coat condition. Luckily she has been fully vetted, and is totally healthy. With some time and good nutrition, (she currently gets salmon oil on her food for her skin and coat and we will send her home with some as well) her coat to continue improving and growing back beautifully. Farfel's would like to see Berry in a home that includes her in family time and fun activities (and some lap or couch-time with belly rubs would be absolutely perfect!) as well as taking that extra step to participate in positive reinforcement / force free virtual or in-person obedience classes. These classes successfully teach a smart and cooperative dog like Berry the skills to accompany her family out into the world with excellent behavior. Farfel's Rescue is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person force-free / positive reinforcement trainers in your area. Berry has been fully vetted and is up to date on her vaccinations. This support Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. She has also been spayed to reinforce our commitment to a euthanasia-free future in the canine population. Berry is arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 9/30/2026. Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and very loving best friend and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/.

Story
Don’t let his tiny size fool you — this little dachshund mix puppy is full of love. Around 9 months old, he’s deaf, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit. He unfortunately found himself in an overrun shelter in Texas. We couldn't say no to his cute face. He’s a total sweetheart who loves people, cuddles, and following his humans around with his adorable puppy confidence. He may experience the world a little differently, but he’s just as playful, smart, and loving as any other puppy — and honestly, maybe even more special. He’s looking for a patient, kind home ready to help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. June 2026 update from the foster family:  Pilot is a smart, playful, cuddly, and friendly puppy. He’s got striking ice blue eyes, a red/tan dapple coat, and he is deaf due to a double merle(dapple)gene mutation. He’s a Dachshund mix and he’s almost 6 months old. He’s very smart and he pays close attention to see what the humans and other animals are doing so he can be a part of the group. He learns signs quickly and he is getting started with wearing an e-collar to help him know when he needs to pause and see what the human wants. He loves to play, chew on toys and sticks, fetch (for a short time), dig, go on walks, and snuggle. He’s looking for a forever home where he can learn to understand and communicate without sound. He’s going to need to have regular veterinary check ups to monitor his vision and other potential issues that can arise from his double merle genetic condition. His skin on his face and his eyes will need to be carefully protected from the sun so he can better avoid sunburns, skin cancer, and cataracts because he is way more susceptible to those than other dogs who don’t have the double merle genes. Like all dachshunds, but also due to his higher risk as a double merle, he will need to be kept from jumping off of things or using a lot of stairs to protect his long spine and short legs. More than the average dog, he will need at least annual vet visits to monitor his health and keep him safe. He’s currently a healthy and strong boy. He likes pretty much all dogs and people, and he's been good with confident cats. He is very interested in our guinea pigs, so I don't leave him alone near them. Luckily, he comes away from them when I signal to him and he readliy accepts diversions. He sleeps on our bed through the night. He likes his crate and he will readily enter it and he settles down quickly if we need him to stay there.  If you want a sweet and smart little companion who you can use hand signals with, please apply to adopt Pilot from Mother Gaia Animal Rescue by filling out the adoption application ##2744552##

Story
Meet Sweet Lemon Drop! Age best guess is 2-4? young adult 25lbs Spayed Female Breed best guess is a hound mixed with a herding breed or doxie hound.. Lemon Drop is a sweet, happy, playful and high-energy girl who quickly bonds with her people and wants to be involved in everything they do. She thrives with structure, clear expectations, and plenty of exercise. Lemon needs at least an hour of focused exercise a day, plus play and mental enrichment. A good morning walk helps her start the day off right. She loves exploring, sniffing, hiking, and adventures, and her nose is always working! She is playful with other dogs and especially enjoys wrestling and running with them. She can wrestle hard, so she'll need continued help learning when it's time to play and when it's time to settle. She is making great progress with this and is learning to respect dogs who aren't interested in playing. She does well in her crate and is not destructive. She is living with a cat currently but her foster mom notes that she is probably too playful for the average cat home, but could potentially live with a confident cat with experienced owners who are willing to manage her behavior. Lemon Drop is a goofy, energetic little hound who would love an active home where she can get out, explore, learn, and be part of the adventure. Give her structure and something to do, and you've got one happy little sidekick! For more photos and videos check out her foster moms instagram @wander_adventurously Medical: - Up to date on basic shots (bordetella, rabies, DHPP) - Heartworm , 4DX Negative - Microchipped - Spayed - Fecal negative - No medical concerns at this time
