Hello Everybody! My name is Mika (mee-kuh). I’m a Dalmatian mix, and a little bit bigger girl (because I am tall), but I only weigh about 55-57 pounds. I could stand to lose another couple of pounds, but the food is good here and we have yummy treats! I’m not telling, but I am probably mixed with either a larger hound or something like a Great Pyrenees because I have dewclaws on my back feet and a tiny bit of an undercoat. I am getting along well with my foster sisters and with a boy dog that was fostering with me for a while. I am kind of bold, and a bit rowdy, when meeting new dogs, so slow introductions will be required. Once I learn to trust you, I will play with you all day. I do like to set the rules among the four-leggeds, so I have some opinions about sharing the water bowl, guarding my space, and occasionally wanting to keep my bone or my person to myself. I won’t get too upset though if you just understand my rules. My foster Mom is working on this with me. I do great hanging around the food bin while Mom gets our dinner, and I am very considerate when the treats are being doled out, but my new parents need to continue working on this resource guarding thing with me. I have not been around cats or kids, but I do very well leaving the resident house bunnies alone (well, except to eat the bunny berries. Those guys are like regular treat dispensers, it’s kinda cool!). I love to be with my person, and I follow her everywhere. Sometimes I climb in her lap or jump on her, but I am working on that. I am also a very good girl and can stay in my own room even when Mom leaves the house, but I do well lounging in my crate when I have to. I have very good potty habits although I did do a little submissive peeing when I first got here because I was scared about being in a new place. I haven’t done that in a long time though. I would love a home where I am either an only dog or have one or two more submissive buddies. I do love to play, so a play buddy would be nice. I don’t think I would like the dog park. Please contact my foster mom Tara @ spotteddogs91@hotmail.com or our friend Ms. Tena at tjp@mygrande.net and ask more about me. I am so looking forward to my new forever home! Mika is located in Live Oak (San Antonio), TX. Adopter must pick up. She is spayed, HW Neg, and current on vaccinations. Adoption fee $350.00 Applications may be submitted at www.dalmatianrescueco.org   If interested in this dog, please go to www.dalmatianrescueco.org and submit an application for adoption.

Whoa! This is not a "real" spot, but just look at the gigantic spot on his back! This pup is super sweet, friendly, and such a big goober. His idea of a good time is PLAY! Lenny is not yet a year old, so he still has a lot of puppy energy and will require a firm but kind hand as he learns his obedience lessons. A puppy class with a local trainer would do wonders for this boy and help build your bond with him over the first few weeks. Lenny looks kind of like a pitty but maybe also some boxer. It would be fun to have his DNA tested to see just what this boy might be. His personality is very goofy, silly, and lovable. He reminds us of Snoopy in the comic strip! Lenny is now ready for his forever home, so if you're looking for a puppy, here is your boy. We do not recommend a home with toddlers because of his energy level, but we think he would do well with middle-sized children and certainly teens. An active family would his ideal match. Lenny is up-to-date on vaccinations, including rabies, neutered, and microchipped. Lenny is located in the Denver area. For more information, please contact  jeannine@dalmatianrescueco.org . His suggested adoption donation is $400.   If interested in this dog, please go to  www.dalmatianrescueco.org  and submit an application for adoption. Under Adoptions, please read our adoption policy.  We must have an application before we can begin the adoption process and each dog does have foster contact listed. August 26, 2026, 12:32 am

Lance is a beautiful male Dalmatian who has been somewhat overlooked in the last couple of years. Dumped near Dallas, TX, he was un-mannered and very strong. As with most strays, he was nervous and a little difficult to manage when first meeting new dogs. Since he was neutered and moved into a loving foster home, Lance has learned to get along with lots of other dogs. His foster/trainer has worked very hard to teach Lance some manners and will be available to work with Lance's new family to insure an easy transition. Cats are unknown. Older children are recommended because of Lance's size and strength. He would be a great running companion. Lance is located in Colorado Springs, and his recommended adoption donation is $350.   Contact jeannine@dalmatianrescueco.org.   If interested in this dog, please go to www.dalmatianrescueco.org and submit an application for adoption.

Meet Savi! Located in DALLAS, TX, Savi is a sweet, happy boy who loves toys, bones, and snuggling with his people. He is crate-trained and house-trained with a doggie door and has great house manners. Savi adores people, including children, and gets along well with female dogs and neutered male dogs his size. He knows how to sit and is eager to please. He gets excited on walks and may pull at first, especially if he spots a squirrel, rabbit, or a passing dog he'd love to meet. With continued practice, he's sure to keep improving. We would love to see Savi in a home with a securely fenced yard and a family that has the time and commitment to continue his training and help him reach his full potential. Meet-and-greets with resident dogs are preferred to ensure a good match. If you're looking for a fun, affectionate companion with a big heart, Savi is ready to be your new best friend! Estimated to be around 18 months old, and 40lbs, Savi is neutered and current on vaccinations.

AN ATHLETE'S ATHLETE! Murphy is a gorgeous, green-eyed liver boy who loves an extreme lifestyle. He loves to run; he's begun to learn agility; and he would excel in all kinds of canine sports! Murphy had a horrible early start in life with a very abusive family who were observed hitting him often. He lived with 2-3 small kids, 2 small dogs (he has also lived with a female rottie) and his "parents" in a rented farmhouse in Illinois. One day, the family drove away and abandoned him in the house with no food or water. Two days later, the homeowner heard him howling for help. Poor Murphy was so afraid that he constantly shook and trembled and was terrified to be touched. Since then, Murphy has been with an extraordinary behaviorist and trainer near Orlando. He's gained enormous confidence and learned to love and trust. He is protective of his person while allowing them space, which he also wants. Like all dogs, he needs a job. Murphy is very focused on his handler and has tremendous drive and work ethic. He will need a special adopter who is willing to take the time to provide exercise, companionship, and learning to help him excel. Murphy has started obedience and agility training. Could you be the right person for this special boy? Please contact sandy@dalmatianrescueco.org.  If interested in this dog, please go to www.dalmatianrescueco.org and submit an application for adoption. Under Adoptions, please read our adoption policy.  We must have an application before we can begin the adoption process and each dog does have foster contact listed. March 9, 2026, 12:21 am

Chance is the happiest dog. He is a real lover but has problems holding his licker. LOL. He is high energy and loves to run, play fetch, play with most other dogs, and catch treats in the air. Chance is house trained, crate trained, contained by a 4’ fence, and is very smart. He’s met cats but is too rambunctious for them. He loves to cuddle with his people and veg. Chance came to Colorado from Louisiana where his allergies were severe and caused him to often scratch himself raw and be VERY uncomfortable. Currently, his worst allergic reaction seems to be getting a pink hue to certain areas of his skin and sometimes licking. New adopters need to be aware that Chance is on weekly desensitization shots for his allergies and twice weekly ear meds. These medications will need to be continued for the time being and possibly for the rest of his life. He is under the care of a dermatologist from CSU but could probably be transferred to a dermatologist elsewhere if CSU is too far to travel. He has no food allergies, according to his dermatologist, but is allergic to numerous environmental elements. He was originally on Apoquel but that has been discontinued due to a huge reduction in the symptoms of his allergic reaction. If you are looking for an active and fun dog, consider Chance and come meet him. If you would like more information regarding Chance, please contact jeannine@dalmatianrescueco.org. Suggested adoption donation is $350.   If interested in this dog, please go to  www.dalmatianrescueco.org  and submit an application for adoption.

Meet Harley B Breed: English Pointer Mix Sex: Female DOB: 1/13/2021 Weight: 40 Pounds Health: Healthy and spayed Harley B is a beautiful medium-sized girl with a gentle soul, a playful spirit, and a heart ready to give her whole love to the right family. At five years old, she has the wonderful balance of maturity and energy — she’s past the puppy chaos but still full of life, curiosity, and enthusiasm for the world around her. Harley may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels safe and comfortable, her affectionate and loyal personality shines through in the most wonderful way. Personality, Breed Info & Expectations As an English Pointer / Terrier Mix, Harley will be an intelligent, affectionate, and energetic companion with a wonderful balance of athleticism and loyalty. This breed mix often combines the English Pointer's friendly, eager-to-please nature with the Terrier's confidence, curiosity, and spirited personality. They are social dogs that enjoy being part of the family and thrive when included in everyday activities. These dogs are naturally active and benefit from regular exercise, outdoor adventures, and opportunities to explore. They are quick learners who respond well to positive reinforcement training and enjoy activities that challenge both their mind and body. Whether it's hiking, playing fetch, or simply spending time with their favorite people, they are happiest when they have a job to do and plenty of companionship. An English Pointer / Terrier Mix would thrive in a home prepared for: Daily exercise and outdoor adventures Continued positive reinforcement training Mental stimulation and enrichment Structure, consistency, and routine Plenty of companionship and family interaction A lifelong commitment to their emotional and physical well-being With patience, consistency, and plenty of love, an English Pointer / Terrier Mix grows into a loyal, well-mannered, and devoted companion who enjoys both active adventures and quiet time with the people they love. Breed & Lifestyle Traits Harley is an active, intelligent dog who thrives with regular exercise and mental stimulation. Dogs like Harley enjoy structure and routine, and they tend to form strong bonds with their humans. She does best when she has opportunities to move, explore, and interact with the world around her, making her a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle. Training & Home Life Harley is already fully potty trained and crate trained, which makes her transition into a new home much smoother. She knows her basic commands and has a great foundation to continue building on with positive reinforcement training. She does well with other dogs and enjoys having canine companions around. However, Harley would do best in a home without cats or young children, as she thrives in a calmer, structured environment where she can feel relaxed and secure. ‍♀️ Activity Needs Harley loves movement and activity. Walks, outdoor time, and play sessions are some of her favorite things. A home with a yard would be ideal for her so she can stretch her legs and enjoy the outdoors. She would do wonderfully with an adopter who enjoys walks, light adventures, and spending quality time engaging with their dog. ⚠️ Things to Consider Before adopting Harley, it's important to consider your lifestyle and long-term stability. Are pets allowed where you live now and in the future? Do you have the time to provide daily exercise and companionship? Are you prepared for routine veterinary care and long-term financial responsibility? Are you ready for a commitment that lasts for the rest of Harley’s life? Adoption means providing a safe, loving home through every stage of life. Vet Care Although Harley is healthy and already spayed, it is important to establish care with your own veterinarian soon after adoption. This helps maintain her health through regular checkups and preventative care. Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule Like most rescue dogs, Harley will need time to adjust to a new home. The first 3 days she may feel unsure or overwhelmed while she decompresses. The first 3 weeks she will begin learning your routine and feeling more secure. By 3 months, her confidence will grow and her loving personality will truly shine. Patience and consistency during this transition will help Harley thrive. Why Harley B Is So Special Harley B is a wonderful dog who simply needs the right environment to shine. With patience, love, and an active lifestyle, she will become an incredibly loyal and devoted companion. She is ready to share adventures, daily walks, and quiet moments with someone who will appreciate her sweet nature and gentle heart. For the right person or couple looking for a loving, active companion, Harley B could be the perfect best friend.

Layka is a delightful young female mixed breed  born August 27, 2021, weighing 50 pounds.  Layka a zest for life and an infectious enthusiasm that will brighten any home. Born with a naturally happy and outgoing personality, Layka thrives on adventure and loves the thrill of exploring new places. Her playful spirit and love for cuddles make her an ideal companion for families who enjoy an active lifestyle and plenty of affection. Layka is best suited for a household where she can be the only dog, allowing her to soak up all the love and attention she deserves. While she is naturally joyful and affectionate, Layka will benefit from socialization and training to help her adjust to her new environment and become the best version of herself. Our In-Home Experience with the Lovely Layka Layka is a delightful and silly girl who will undoubtedly capture your heart, one laugh at a time. From the moment she arrived at our home, her curiosity was evident—she sniffed every inch of the place and quickly decided that the couch was her favorite spot. A Day in the Life of Layka Layka's daily routine is a charming mix of relaxation and playful energy. About 75% of her day is spent as a content couch potato, while the remaining 25% is dedicated to her puppy zoomies, where she eagerly wants to play. Her play mode often involves heading to the backyard for a game of "fetch" with her Kong ball. Fetch deserves quotation marks because, more often than not, Layka ends up throwing the ball in the air herself and chasing it around like an exuberant baby kangaroo. She sprints full speed from one end of the yard to the other, taking frequent pit stops at the kitchen water dish for huge, refreshing slurps. It's essential to have a nice big bowl because Layka loves her water! After about 10-15 minutes of this energetic play, she sprints back inside, bringing her ball to the couch as a signal that she's all tuckered out. A Perfect Work-From-Home Companion I work from home, and Layka has proven to be a wonderful coworker. She spends her time in the living room, keeping an eye on passersby from the window. Every half hour or so, she trots into my office for a brief session of belly rubs and kisses before returning to her relaxing routine. Having Layka around has made my workdays much more enjoyable. Settling In and House Training Layka is house-trained, although she did have a couple of accidents during her first week with us, which we attributed to being in a new environment. She quickly learned to stand by the back door and gaze at us when she wanted to be let outside. Occasionally, she just wanted to enjoy the sunshine. When ready to come back in, she would sit politely at the door and give a short little bark to let us know. Overall, Layka has brought endless joy and laughter into our home. Her playful antics and loving demeanor have made her a beloved member of our household. By welcoming Layka into your home, you're inviting a happy and playful companion into your life. Her adventurous spirit and affectionate nature are sure to fill your days with joy and warmth. If you're ready for a lively and loving furry friend, Layka might just be the perfect match for your family! If interested please go to our website and fill out an application. You can find our application under the adoptable dogs icon. Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue. We can’t wait to connect you with your new fur-ever friend.  https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/   Ozzie and Friends Rescue makes arrangements for all dogs adopted to be transported all across the Western United States, Canada and the Midwest.      September 8, 2026, 3:45 pm

After being found without a permanent home, Merlina was fortunate enough to be welcomed into a loving foster home. Instead of having to wait in a rescue environment, she has been able to experience the comfort and stability of living with a family while she waits for the one thing she still needs—a forever home of her own. Life in foster care has given Merlina the opportunity to show everyone what a wonderful dog she truly is. Merlina is outgoing, loving, and incredibly friendly. She enjoys meeting people and has an open, social personality that makes her easy to connect with. She's the kind of dog who wants to be involved in what's happening around her, whether that's heading out for a walk, spending time outside, playing, or simply relaxing with her people. At approximately two years old, Merlina is at a fantastic age. She has moved beyond the earliest puppy stage while still being young, active, and ready for plenty of adventures. At 35 pounds, she's also a manageable medium size that can fit comfortably into many different lifestyles. Her time in foster care has helped prepare her for family life, but moving into a permanent home will still be a transition. Merlina needs someone willing to give her the patience and consistency every rescue dog deserves while she learns that this time, she's truly home. As a Catahoula Leopard Dog / Terrier Mix, Merlina may have many of the intelligent, energetic, and loyal qualities associated with these breeds. Catahoula's are known for being bright, athletic dogs that form strong bonds with their families, while Terriers often bring confidence, curiosity, and a fun-loving personality. Merlina will benefit from a home that provides both physical activity and opportunities to keep her mind engaged. Merlina would thrive with a family that offers: Plenty of love and companionship Daily walks and regular exercise Positive reinforcement training Interactive toys and mental enrichment Continued socialization Consistent household routines and boundaries Plenty of opportunities to be included in family activities A safe indoor home where she's treated as a cherished member of the family A lifelong commitment Merlina's foster home gave her a safe place to land. Now she's ready for the family who will give her a permanent place to belong. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Living in foster care gives Merlina valuable experience in a home environment, but adopters should remember that every new home brings different people, routines, sounds, expectations, and surroundings. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling comfortable 3 Weeks to understand her new household routine 3 Months to settle in, build trust, and truly feel at home Her future family should be prepared to continue working on any household manners, leash skills, boundaries, or other training she may need. Merlina's intelligence and outgoing personality can make positive reinforcement training a wonderful way to build a relationship with her. Consistency, praise, treats, games, and clear expectations will help her understand what her new family wants from her. She will benefit from: Continued positive reinforcement training Daily walks and physical activity Interactive games and enrichment Consistent routines Continued positive socialization Plenty of family interaction Patience during her transition from foster care With structure, affection, and time to adjust, Merlina has everything she needs to become a wonderful lifelong companion. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Adopting Merlina means making a commitment to care for her throughout every stage of her life. Her future family should be prepared to provide: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Vaccinations as recommended by a veterinarian Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Routine dental care A nutritious, balanced diet Healthy weight management Daily physical exercise Mental stimulation and enrichment Continued training and socialization Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs A safe, comfortable indoor home We recommend establishing care with a veterinarian shortly after adoption so Merlina can have an ongoing wellness plan tailored to her individual needs. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Merlina, 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 giving deserving dogs another chance at safe, loving, permanent homes.

This outgoing, loving girl is ready for something permanent—a family to adventure with, a home to settle into, and people she can finally call her own. ❤️September 8, 2026, 3:45 pm
