Story
Meet Aspen, a chihuahua who may have some terrier in her. She loves people, although she takes a little time to warm up to them.  Aspen still has a bit of puppy in her, but is toilet trained, and good at letting you know if she needs to go.  As a young dog, Just 1 year old, she is still working on following commands.  She is fairly good at going into her crate, walking on a leash, and will come when called.  Sit, stay, and heel are a bit hit or miss.   She’s also learning to live with cats.  She can be nice and sit with them, but if the cat runs, she wants to chase.    Did I mention that she loves people?  She does best when she’s around humans and loves to cuddle.  She may whine for a bit when left alone.   As a young dog, if she is bored, she might shred some of your stuff.  She’s a very sweet dog, even if she does misbehave sometimes, and she’d love for you to adopt her! To meet her fill out the Dog Adoption Application on our website OFOSA.ORG and her foster parents will be in contact.

Story
Alfred is a sweet cuddly boy looking for his forever home.  Next to nothing is known about Freddy, who was apparently dumped with a female friend in a local field.  Even though he was ill-treated prior to coming to OFOSA, he has settled right in with the crew at the foster home.  Friendly with and to all, 2 or 4 legged.  He has some skittishness at transitions (putting on or taking off harness; in or out of car, etc. ). So patience and a soft voice works wonders.  He is a good eater, not picky at all, very patient while waiting.  It`s a good idea to keep full or empty dishes well away from him. ha ha as he will finish them. He is a beautiful boy, with eyes almost the color as his light red coat. Nothing is known about his opinion of cats.  He loves to snuggle up to any and everyone, whether in a dog bed, a human bed, or under the covers with foster mom. Might yours be the new forever home he is looking for? He is neutered, fully vetted and microchipped. His adoption fee is $340. To meet Alfred (or Freddy) fill out the Dog Adoption Application on OFOSA.ORG and his foster mom will be in-touch.

  Meet Mickey A Little Dog With a Big Personality and a Heart Full of Happiness! Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Mix Gender: Male | Age: 1 Year DOB: October 23, 2025 (Estimated) Weight: 9 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: Happy | Playful | Energetic | Fun-Loving | Friendly Medical: Neutered ✔️ | Vaccinations Up to Date ✔️ | Microchip: Not Provided Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Safe transportation coordinated for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Meet Mickey, an adorable 1-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix weighing just 9 pounds! This handsome little guy may be small in size, but he has a big personality and a wonderful enthusiasm for life. Mickey is a happy, playful boy who loves having fun and is ready to bring laughter, excitement, and companionship into someone's home. With his cheerful personality and youthful energy, he's a wonderful candidate for a family looking for a small dog with plenty of spirit. At just one year old, Mickey is entering young adulthood. He's moved beyond the earliest stages of puppyhood but still has lots of energy, curiosity, and opportunities to learn new things. Whether he's enjoying playtime, exploring his surroundings, or spending time with his favorite people, Mickey has the potential to become a wonderful lifelong companion. About the Jack Russell Terrier Breed Jack Russell Terriers are known for their intelligence, athleticism, curiosity, confidence, and lively personalities. Originally developed as working terriers, these small dogs were bred to be energetic, determined, and quick-thinking. As a Jack Russell Terrier mix, Mickey may share several typical breed characteristics: Playful and energetic: Jack Russells often enjoy interactive games, regular walks, and opportunities to explore. Intelligent and curious: They are often quick learners who benefit from positive reinforcement and mental stimulation. Affectionate and loyal: Many develop strong bonds with their families and enjoy spending time with their favorite people. Confident and spirited: Despite their small size, Jack Russells often have bold personalities and plenty of enthusiasm. Active and athletic: They typically enjoy activities that keep both their minds and bodies engaged. Mickey's future family should understand that small dogs still need regular exercise, training, and mental enrichment. Although he weighs only 9 pounds, Mickey may have the energy and determination commonly associated with terrier breeds. His ideal home will provide daily walks, interactive playtime, positive training, and plenty of companionship. Mickey is proof that happiness doesn't come in one size. Sometimes, it comes in a tiny 9-pound package with a big personality! Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At one year old, Mickey is a young adult who will benefit from continued training, positive socialization, and a consistent daily routine. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house training if needed, leash manners, basic obedience, recall, appropriate chewing, calm greetings, and household boundaries. Because Jack Russell Terriers are intelligent and can be independent thinkers, Mickey will benefit from positive reinforcement, patience, consistency, and short, engaging training sessions. Interactive toys, puzzle feeders, scent games, and supervised outdoor activities can help keep his curious mind occupied. Exercise & Daily Activities Mickey may enjoy activities such as: Daily walks and opportunities to explore new environments. Interactive games and supervised playtime. Positive reinforcement training with treats and praise. Puzzle toys and enrichment activities. Spending quality time with his family. Despite his small size, Mickey should not be expected to spend all day indoors without exercise or stimulation. A balanced routine that includes physical activity, mental enrichment, and relaxation will help him thrive. Living With Other Pets Mickey is considered suitable for homes with other dogs and children, with appropriate introductions and supervision. His compatibility with cats has not yet been confirmed. Jack Russell Terriers can have strong chasing instincts because of their working-dog background, so introductions to cats and other small animals should be approached carefully. Because Mickey weighs only 9 pounds, interactions with larger dogs and young children should also be supervised to help prevent accidental injury. The 3-3-3 Rule Every rescue dog needs time to adjust to a new environment. 3 Days: Time to decompress, observe his surroundings, and begin feeling safe. 3 Weeks: Time to understand his new household routine, build confidence, and become more comfortable. 3 Months: Time to strengthen his bond with his family, settle into daily life, and begin feeling truly at home. These are general guidelines rather than strict deadlines. Every dog adjusts at their own pace. Mickey deserves a family who will provide patience, encouragement, structure, and reassurance as he settles into his forever home. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Mickey is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations, making him ready to begin the next chapter of his life with a loving family. His future adopters should continue providing regular veterinary care and preventive healthcare throughout his life. As a small Jack Russell Terrier mix, Mickey will need: High-quality nutrition appropriate for his age, size, and activity level. Regular veterinary examinations to monitor his overall health. Daily exercise and interactive playtime to support his physical and mental well-being. Dental care, which is particularly important for small dogs that may be more susceptible to dental disease. Routine grooming and nail maintenance for his comfort and health. Consistent flea, tick, and parasite prevention as recommended by his veterinarian. Continued training and mental enrichment to keep him happy and engaged. A safe, secure home environment with appropriate supervision during outdoor activities. Important Small-Breed Considerations Because Mickey weighs only 9 pounds, his family should be mindful of his small size. Small dogs can be vulnerable to accidental injuries from falls, rough handling, or interactions with much larger animals. His future family should also monitor his weight carefully, as even small amounts of excess weight can affect a little dog's joints and overall health. Jack Russell mixes may be prone to certain orthopedic concerns, including kneecap problems such as patellar luxation. Regular veterinary examinations can help identify any potential issues early. Adopting Mickey is a lifelong commitment that includes providing proper nutrition, veterinary care, training, exercise, safety, companionship, and unconditional love.

This playful, cheerful little boy is ready for a lifetime of adventures, fun-filled afternoons, and wonderful memories with a family of his own. Whether he's exploring the world on his tiny paws or simply enjoying being part of the family, Mickey is ready to bring joy into someone's life. All he needs now is a loving home where he'll be cherished, protected, and adored forever. Could Mickey be the little best friend you've been waiting for? October 29, 2026, 8:03 pm
