Meet Lucas Happy, Playful, and Full of Puppy Personality—Lucas Is Ready for His Forever Family Breed: Terrier Mix Gender: Male | Age: 03/12/2026 | Weight/Size: 12 lbs currently (medium / small) Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: Playful | ❤️ Sweet | Friendly | Curious & Fun-Loving Medical: Neutered and current on vaccinations Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Lucas is an adorable 6-month-old Terrier mix weighing approximately 12 pounds. He's a happy young pup with all the fun, curiosity, and playful energy you'd expect from a puppy his age. Lucas is friendly with other dogs and good with children. His compatibility with cats is currently unknown. At six months old, Lucas is at such a fun stage of puppyhood. He's old enough for his personality to really start shining through, but he's still young and has plenty to learn about the world. He loves opportunities to play, explore, investigate new things, and spend time with his people. As a Terrier mix, Lucas may share many common Terrier qualities. Terriers are often bright, curious, playful, energetic, confident, and full of personality. They can be clever little dogs who enjoy having something to do, whether that's playing with toys, learning new skills, going for walks, or investigating every interesting smell they encounter. Lucas would benefit from a family that provides: Plenty of love and companionship Daily age-appropriate exercise Playtime and interactive toys Positive-reinforcement training Continued puppy socialization Mental stimulation and enrichment Consistent routines and boundaries Safe chew toys Patience through adolescence A secure and loving indoor home A lifelong commitment Lucas may be a cute little puppy now, but his adopter should be ready to love and care for the adult and senior dog he will eventually become, too. Puppy Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At six months old, Lucas is still very much a puppy. His future family should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, excitement, bursts of energy, distraction, curiosity, and occasionally testing the rules. Rescue puppies may arrive with basic training at best, so Lucas's adopter should be prepared to continue working on: House training as needed Crate training as appropriate Basic commands Leash manners Appropriate chewing Calm greetings Recall Household boundaries Continued socialization Comfortable handling and grooming Lucas is approaching adolescence, a stage when puppies sometimes seem to temporarily "forget" things they've already learned. Patience and consistency are important. Short, positive training sessions will help him develop good habits while strengthening his relationship with his new family. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand his new household routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home Give Lucas structure, affection, patience, and plenty of opportunities to succeed, and he'll have a wonderful foundation for adulthood. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Lucas's vaccination, neuter, deworming, and other veterinary information was not provided. His complete medical records should be reviewed to determine what care has already been completed and what may still be needed. His future family should be prepared to provide: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Age-appropriate vaccinations and boosters Neutering if not already completed, as recommended Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Quality nutrition appropriate for a growing puppy Healthy weight management Routine dental care Age-appropriate exercise Continued training and socialization Mental stimulation and enrichment Veterinary care whenever illness or injury occurs A safe and loving indoor home At six months old, Lucas is still growing physically and emotionally. Good nutrition, preventative veterinary care, training, exercise, and plenty of positive experiences will help him grow into a healthy and confident adult dog.

Meet Emma A Gentle, Shy Soul Looking for a Patient Family to Help Her Feel Safe Breed: American Foxhound Mix Gender: Female | DOB: May 21, 2020 | Weight/Size: 40 lbs (Medium) Good With: Dogs ✔️ — may benefit from being the only dog | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: ❤️ Sweet | Shy | Gentle | Timid Medical: Not Provided Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Emma is a beautiful 6-year-old American Foxhound mix weighing approximately 40 pounds. She is a shy, timid girl with a gentle personality who needs something very special from her future family: patience. Emma isn't the type of dog who should be expected to walk into a new home and immediately feel comfortable. She needs people willing to give her the time and space to build confidence and learn that she is safe. She is good with other dogs, although she may actually benefit from being the only dog in the home, where she can receive one-on-one attention and settle into her environment without additional pressure. This isn't because she cannot be around other dogs—it may simply give this sensitive girl the opportunity to focus on building a strong relationship with her people. As an American Foxhound mix, Emma may share traits associated with the breed, including intelligence, sensitivity, athleticism, curiosity, and a strong sense of smell. However, Emma's individual temperament should always matter more than general breed expectations. Her ideal family will understand that earning the trust of a shy dog can take time. Emma shouldn't be forced into interactions or overwhelming situations. Instead, she needs calm encouragement, predictable routines, positive experiences, and the freedom to approach new people and situations at her own pace. For the right family, watching Emma slowly become comfortable and begin showing more of herself could be incredibly rewarding. Training, Confidence Building & What to Expect Emma's transition into a new home should focus first on safety, trust, and confidence—not perfection. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best. With Emma, training should be gentle and based entirely on positive reinforcement. Punishment or forcing her through situations that frighten her could increase her anxiety. Her family should work gradually on: Building confidence Establishing a predictable daily routine Leash manners Basic commands House training as needed Comfortable handling Calm introductions to new experiences Household boundaries Positive socialization at her own pace Because timid dogs can sometimes try to flee when frightened, Emma's family should be particularly careful with doors, gates, fencing, collars, harnesses, and leash security, especially during her first weeks in a new home. The 3-3-3 Rule 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand her new household routine 3 Months to settle in, build trust, and begin feeling at home For a sensitive dog like Emma, these are only guidelines. She may need longer, and that's perfectly okay. Her progress should happen on Emma's timeline. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Emma's spay, vaccination, microchip, and other medical information were not provided, so her complete medical records should be reviewed with her veterinarian. Her future family should provide routine wellness examinations, vaccinations and boosters as recommended, spaying if not already completed, parasite prevention, dental care, quality nutrition, healthy weight management, appropriate exercise, and veterinary treatment whenever needed. Her emotional well-being matters just as much as her physical health. A calm home, consistent routine, gentle handling, and positive experiences will be important parts of helping Emma thrive. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Emma, please complete an adoption application at: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions Ozzie and Friends Rescue is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing dogs in need and helping them find safe, loving forever homes. While based in Southern California, we coordinate safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. Emma isn't looking for someone who expects an instant best friend. She's looking for someone willing to become one. She needs a patient, loving person who will celebrate the little victories—the first time she approaches on her own, the first relaxed nap, the first tail wag, and every moment when she realizes she doesn't have to be afraid. Give Emma patience, kindness, and a safe place to land, and you'll have the privilege of watching a shy little soul learn what it means to finally feel at home. November 4, 2026, 7:49 pm

Now Fostered in Pittsburgh, PA and ready for meet and greets! Meet Ollie, an adorable 6- month-old Basset Hound mix with a shiny black coat, big droopy brown eyes, and a sweet, affectionate personality that will completely melt you once he decides you’re his person. Check out Ollie! https://youtu.be/X3_fcHJ7mwo?is=MbJedELMo3euBOqa Ollie can be a little cautious when meeting someone new. When I first met him, it took a few treats and a little patience to convince him that I was someone he could trust. But once Ollie realized I was safe, everything changed. Suddenly, every time I sat down, he wanted to be right in my lap. Apparently earning Ollie’s trust also means surrendering all future rights to your personal space. And honestly, good luck saying no to that face. With those big, droopy Basset Hound eyes, Ollie is well on his way to becoming the king of the side-eye. He has the kind of expressive face that can make it look like he has very strong opinions about whatever you’re doing, and somehow that makes him even more lovable. Ollie is an incredibly sweet and affectionate puppy. Once he feels comfortable, he loves being close to his people and soaking up attention. He may not realize exactly how much puppy he is putting into your lap, but as far as Ollie is concerned, if he fits, he sits. When he isn’t cuddling, Ollie enjoys playing with toys and spending time with his siblings. He has a gentle play style and isn’t a mouthy puppy. Sometimes he doesn’t quite realize his own size, which can lead to some wonderfully goofy puppy moments, but his approach to play is sweet rather than rough. Because of his gentle nature, he could be a great companion for children and other friendly dogs. Treats are another very important part of Ollie’s world. They helped win his trust in the beginning, and he certainly wouldn’t object to continuing that tradition in his forever home. Ollie has also met cats and, much like his sister Melanie, seems to find them fascinating without really understanding what he is supposed to do with them yet. For now, cats are interesting little creatures that deserve some curious observation while he figures them out. Of course, Ollie is still only four months old, which means there is one activity that outranks almost everything else: napping. Toys are great. Treats are wonderful. Cuddles are even better. But when a puppy needs a nap, a puppy needs a nap. Ollie is still learning about the world and may need a little patience when encountering unfamiliar people or situations. Give him the opportunity to observe, a few tasty treats, and the chance to realize he is safe, and you may quickly discover that the cautious puppy you first met has turned into an affectionate little shadow who would happily spend the rest of the afternoon in your lap. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving puppy with a shiny black coat, an expressive Basset face, world-class side-eye, and absolutely no respect for the concept of personal space once he loves you, Ollie might just be your boy. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a84b6acf8850e7dd50c31ee Questions?

Ace is a young hound mix under a year old with a calm, thoughtful personality and just the right balance of adventure and downtime. He enjoys exploring the woods, sniffing around trails, and hanging out near the water, but he is not nonstop hyper or chaotic. After some fun and activity, he settles down nicely. Ace is great with other dogs and with cats. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he feels safe, he becomes incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loyal. He is the kind of dog who forms real bonds instead of instantly demanding attention from everyone he meets. He would do great with someone who wants an active companion for walks, exploring, road trips, or outdoor time, while still wanting a dog that can relax and coexist peacefully at home afterward. Currently in Oklahoma but can be adopted to approved out-of-state homes via transport. If an adoption does not work out (rare, but life happens), I always take my dogs back. Fully vetted (neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested). Adoption fee: $450 (includes transport and vetting).
