Story
Meet Blanca Breed: Pit Bull Mix Date of Birth: July 11, 2021 &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 80 pounds Spayed & Healthy Intake Date: June 6, 2023 Blanca is a big, beautiful girl with a loving heart and a happy, eager spirit. She enjoys attention and affection from her people and has so much potential to thrive in the right home. This smart girl is currently in training through the Paws to Prison Program at Corcoran Prison, where she’s learning from dedicated inmate handlers. She’s working on important skills like sit, stay, and leash walking, helping her grow into a more confident and obedient companion. The structure and care of this program are helping Blanca build trust and become her best self. Notes from the trainer: Blanca is a gentle, 4-year-old American Pit Terrier/Dogo Argentino mix weighing about 85–90 pounds. Despite common misconceptions about her breed, she’s calm, motherly, and easy to love. Blanca is bilingual, responding to commands in both Spanish and English, and knows a variety of tricks and manners such as sitting, lying down, rolling over, staying, and waiting patiently for food. She’s house-trained, non-aggressive, and takes treats gently. Blanca is great with other dogs, enjoys tug-of-war, basketball, belly rubs, cuddling, and even baths. She’s ticklish on her chest and back legs, rarely barks, and communicates when she needs to go outside. While she dislikes loud noises and will chase lawnmowers, she loves golf cart rides. She’s curious about cats in a playful way. Due to past mistreatment, she may cower if hands move quickly near her face, but she remains affectionate and trusting. Overall, Blanca is a loving, well-mannered companion who craves attention, enjoys naps, and is looking for a safe, caring forever home. Special Considerations  Blanca may do best as the only dog in a home without young children. She’s selective with other animals and needs a calm, experienced owner who understands dog behavior and can continue her training with patience and consistency. Breed Information  Pit Bull mixes like Blanca are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and strong bonds with their humans. With proper guidance and a stable environment, they become deeply devoted, affectionate companions. They require exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation to stay balanced and happy. Owner Responsibilities &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Adopting Blanca means committing to: Daily exercise, structured routines, and continued positive reinforcement Regular veterinary care, quality food, and preventive health measures A calm, stable home where she feels safe and loved Advocating for her breed and being a responsible pet owner Things to Consider Before adopting Blanca, please ask yourself: Do you have experience with strong, intelligent breeds? Can you provide time, patience, and consistent leadership? Does your home (and landlord, if applicable) allow large dogs? Is your lifestyle suited to a one-dog household? A Commitment for Life Blanca is not an outdoor or chained dog—she's a family member who deserves to live indoors with love, safety, and respect. Adopting her means a lifetime commitment. She’s ready for a second chance with someone who believes in her and is ready to offer the structure and affection she needs. If you're experienced, understanding, and ready to offer Blanca the forever home she deserves, she’s ready to return that love tenfold. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143   If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue.

Story
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.
