Story
Meet Paolo A Happy Little Puppy Ready to Grow Up With His Forever Family Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Mix Gender: Male | Age: 03/24/2026 Weight:  9 lbs currently (small medium) Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: Playful | ❤️ Sweet | Curious | Happy Puppy Medical: Vaccines up to date/ Neutered at age appropriate  Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Paolo is an adorable Jack Russell Terrier mix weighing approximately 9 pounds. He's a happy young boy with everything you'd expect from a puppy—playfulness, curiosity, youthful energy, and a whole lot of growing and learning still ahead of him. Paolo is good with other dogs and children, while his compatibility with cats is currently unknown. At six months old, Paolo is at a fun and important stage of puppyhood. He's beginning to leave the tiny baby stage behind, but he's still very much a puppy. His personality will continue developing as he grows, and his future family will play a big role in helping him become a confident, well-mannered adult dog. As a Terrier mix, Paolo may share characteristics often associated with terriers, including being bright, curious, playful, energetic, affectionate, and full of personality. Terriers can be clever little dogs who enjoy exploring their surroundings and having opportunities to use their minds. Paolo would benefit from: Daily age-appropriate walks and exercise Plenty of playtime Interactive toys and enrichment Positive-reinforcement training Continued positive socialization Consistent routines and boundaries Plenty of affection and companionship Paolo may be a little guy, but he still needs opportunities to walk, sniff, explore, play, learn, and experience the world safely. Puppy Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At six months old, Paolo is still learning how to be a dog in a human world. His adopter should be prepared for all the normal work that comes with raising a puppy. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so Paolo's family should be ready to continue working on: House training Leash manners Basic commands Recall Appropriate chewing Calm greetings Household boundaries Positive socialization Building confidence Learning how to settle and relax Puppies need patience, repetition, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Mistakes are part of the learning process, and the time invested in Paolo now can help shape the adult dog he becomes. 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 For a puppy, these first months are also a period of rapid development, making consistency and positive experiences especially important. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Paolo's neuter, vaccination, and microchip status have not been provided. His adopter should review his medical records with a veterinarian and make sure he receives all remaining age-appropriate puppy vaccinations and boosters, neutering if not already completed, parasite prevention, routine wellness examinations, dental care, quality puppy nutrition, healthy growth monitoring, grooming, and veterinary treatment whenever needed. Because Paolo is still growing, his family should provide age-appropriate exercise and avoid excessive repetitive jumping or strenuous forced exercise. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Paolo, 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. We expand our adoption efforts throughout the Western United States, Midwest, and Canada, and coordinate safe transportation for approved adopters. Adoption and transportation fees vary depending on the individual dog and destination. Our goal is to give every dog the best possible chance of finding the right family, no matter where that family may live. Adopting a puppy means committing to much more than the adorable little dog in front of you today. It means providing training, veterinary care, patience, security, and companionship through puppyhood, adulthood, and eventually the senior years. Paolo is only six months old, with nearly his entire life still waiting to happen. He's ready for first adventures, new lessons, silly puppy moments, cozy nights, and years of memories. Give Paolo the chance to grow up beside you, and that little 9-pound puppy may just become your lifelong best friend. September 20, 2026, 12:18 pm

He's a young boy with a classic puppy personality—playful, curious, energetic, and still discovering the world around him. J.E. is good with other dogs and children, while his compatibility with cats is currently unknown. At seven months old, J.E. is entering the adolescent stage of puppyhood. He's no longer a tiny baby, but he still has plenty of growing, learning, and maturing ahead of him. His future family will have an important role in helping him develop into a confident and well-mannered adult dog. As a Terrier mix, J.E. may share characteristics commonly associated with terriers, including being bright, curious, playful, affectionate, energetic, and full of personality. Terriers often enjoy exploring, investigating interesting smells, playing games, and having opportunities to use their minds. J.E. would benefit from: Daily age-appropriate walks Plenty of playtime Interactive toys and enrichment Positive-reinforcement training Continued positive socialization Consistent household routines Safe opportunities to explore Plenty of affection and companionship At approximately 13 pounds, J.E. is a little guy, but he still needs opportunities to walk, play, sniff, explore, learn, and experience life alongside his family. Puppy Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At seven months old, J.E. is still very much a puppy. His adopter should be prepared to continue teaching him the skills he'll need throughout adulthood. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so his family should be ready to work on: House training as needed Leash manners Basic commands Recall Appropriate chewing Calm greetings Household boundaries Positive socialization Building confidence Learning when it's time to settle and relax Adolescent puppies can sometimes seem like they've forgotten things they previously learned. Patience, repetition, structure, and positive reinforcement are important during this stage. 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 These are guidelines rather than deadlines. J.E. should be given the time he needs to become comfortable and understand that his new home is permanent. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care J.E.'s neuter, vaccination, and microchip status have not been provided. His adopter should review his medical records with a veterinarian and ensure he receives all remaining age-appropriate puppy vaccinations and boosters, neutering if not already completed, routine wellness examinations, parasite prevention, dental care, quality puppy nutrition, healthy growth monitoring, grooming and nail care, and veterinary treatment whenever needed. Because J.E. is still developing, his family should provide age-appropriate exercise and gradually increase activity as he matures. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting J.E., 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.

Adoption and transportation fees vary depending on the individual dog and destination. Our goal is to give every dog the best possible chance of finding the right family, no matter where that family may live. Adopting J.E. means committing not only to the playful puppy he is today, but also to the adult and senior dog he'll eventually become. J.E. is seven months old with almost his entire life still ahead of him. There are walks he hasn't taken, places he hasn't explored, lessons he hasn't learned, and a family he hasn't met yet. Give this playful little guy the chance to grow up knowing he belongs, and you'll get to watch your puppy become your lifelong companion. September 20, 2026, 12:18 pm

Meet Paolo A Happy Little Puppy Ready to Grow Up With His Forever Family Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Mix Gender: Male | Age: 03/24/2026 Weight:  9 lbs currently (small medium) Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: Playful | ❤️ Sweet | Curious | Happy Puppy Medical: Vaccines up to date/ Neutered at age appropriate  Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Paolo is an adorable Jack Russell Terrier mix weighing approximately 9 pounds. He's a happy young boy with everything you'd expect from a puppy—playfulness, curiosity, youthful energy, and a whole lot of growing and learning still ahead of him. Paolo is good with other dogs and children, while his compatibility with cats is currently unknown. At six months old, Paolo is at a fun and important stage of puppyhood. He's beginning to leave the tiny baby stage behind, but he's still very much a puppy. His personality will continue developing as he grows, and his future family will play a big role in helping him become a confident, well-mannered adult dog. As a Terrier mix, Paolo may share characteristics often associated with terriers, including being bright, curious, playful, energetic, affectionate, and full of personality. Terriers can be clever little dogs who enjoy exploring their surroundings and having opportunities to use their minds. Paolo would benefit from: Daily age-appropriate walks and exercise Plenty of playtime Interactive toys and enrichment Positive-reinforcement training Continued positive socialization Consistent routines and boundaries Plenty of affection and companionship Paolo may be a little guy, but he still needs opportunities to walk, sniff, explore, play, learn, and experience the world safely. Puppy Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At six months old, Paolo is still learning how to be a dog in a human world. His adopter should be prepared for all the normal work that comes with raising a puppy. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so Paolo's family should be ready to continue working on: House training Leash manners Basic commands Recall Appropriate chewing Calm greetings Household boundaries Positive socialization Building confidence Learning how to settle and relax Puppies need patience, repetition, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Mistakes are part of the learning process, and the time invested in Paolo now can help shape the adult dog he becomes. 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 For a puppy, these first months are also a period of rapid development, making consistency and positive experiences especially important. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Paolo's neuter, vaccination, and microchip status have not been provided. His adopter should review his medical records with a veterinarian and make sure he receives all remaining age-appropriate puppy vaccinations and boosters, neutering if not already completed, parasite prevention, routine wellness examinations, dental care, quality puppy nutrition, healthy growth monitoring, grooming, and veterinary treatment whenever needed. Because Paolo is still growing, his family should provide age-appropriate exercise and avoid excessive repetitive jumping or strenuous forced exercise. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Paolo, 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. We expand our adoption efforts throughout the Western United States, Midwest, and Canada, and coordinate safe transportation for approved adopters. Adoption and transportation fees vary depending on the individual dog and destination. Our goal is to give every dog the best possible chance of finding the right family, no matter where that family may live. Adopting a puppy means committing to much more than the adorable little dog in front of you today. It means providing training, veterinary care, patience, security, and companionship through puppyhood, adulthood, and eventually the senior years. Paolo is only six months old, with nearly his entire life still waiting to happen. He's ready for first adventures, new lessons, silly puppy moments, cozy nights, and years of memories. Give Paolo the chance to grow up beside you, and that little 9-pound puppy may just become your lifelong best friend. September 20, 2026, 12:18 pm

Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information J.E. is an adorable Jack Russell Terrier mix weighing approximately 13 pounds. He's a young boy with a classic puppy personality—playful, curious, energetic, and still discovering the world around him. J.E. is good with other dogs and children, while his compatibility with cats is currently unknown. At seven months old, J.E. is entering the adolescent stage of puppyhood. He's no longer a tiny baby, but he still has plenty of growing, learning, and maturing ahead of him. His future family will have an important role in helping him develop into a confident and well-mannered adult dog. As a Terrier mix, J.E. may share characteristics commonly associated with terriers, including being bright, curious, playful, affectionate, energetic, and full of personality. Terriers often enjoy exploring, investigating interesting smells, playing games, and having opportunities to use their minds. J.E. would benefit from: Daily age-appropriate walks Plenty of playtime Interactive toys and enrichment Positive-reinforcement training Continued positive socialization Consistent household routines Safe opportunities to explore Plenty of affection and companionship At approximately 13 pounds, J.E. is a little guy, but he still needs opportunities to walk, play, sniff, explore, learn, and experience life alongside his family. Puppy Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At seven months old, J.E. is still very much a puppy. His adopter should be prepared to continue teaching him the skills he'll need throughout adulthood. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so his family should be ready to work on: House training as needed Leash manners Basic commands Recall Appropriate chewing Calm greetings Household boundaries Positive socialization Building confidence Learning when it's time to settle and relax Adolescent puppies can sometimes seem like they've forgotten things they previously learned. Patience, repetition, structure, and positive reinforcement are important during this stage. 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 These are guidelines rather than deadlines. J.E. should be given the time he needs to become comfortable and understand that his new home is permanent. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care J.E.'s neuter, vaccination, and microchip status have not been provided. His adopter should review his medical records with a veterinarian and ensure he receives all remaining age-appropriate puppy vaccinations and boosters, neutering if not already completed, routine wellness examinations, parasite prevention, dental care, quality puppy nutrition, healthy growth monitoring, grooming and nail care, and veterinary treatment whenever needed. Because J.E. is still developing, his family should provide age-appropriate exercise and gradually increase activity as he matures.

Our goal is to give every dog the best possible chance of finding the right family, no matter where that family may live. Adopting J.E. means committing not only to the playful puppy he is today, but also to the adult and senior dog he'll eventually become. J.E. is seven months old with almost his entire life still ahead of him. There are walks he hasn't taken, places he hasn't explored, lessons he hasn't learned, and a family he hasn't met yet. Give this playful little guy the chance to grow up knowing he belongs, and you'll get to watch your puppy become your lifelong companion. September 20, 2026, 12:18 pm

Meet Benny Given a Second Chance—Now Ready to Find the Forever Family He Deserves ❤️ Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Shih Tzu Mix Gender: Male | DOB: April 29, 2026 | Weight/Expected Size: 10 lbs (Expected Small to Medium) Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Cats: Unknown | Kids ✔️ Medical: ✔️ Neuter Pending (Age-Appropriate) | ✔️ Current for Age Vaccinations | ✔️ Microchipped Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue provides safe transportation to approved adopters throughout the United States. https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Benny's Story Benny is proof that every puppy deserves a fresh start. At just a few months old, Benny was surrendered by his previous owner through no fault of his own. While losing the only home he had ever known was confusing, Benny has embraced his second chance with an open heart and a wagging tail. Now he's looking for a forever family that will love him for a lifetime. Benny is a cheerful, affectionate puppy who brings happiness wherever he goes. He loves meeting new people, exploring his surroundings, and playing with toys before settling in for cuddle time. His friendly personality and sweet nature make him easy to fall in love with. Curious and eager to learn, Benny enjoys discovering the world around him. Whether he's chasing after a ball, following you around the house, or curling up beside you for a nap, he's happiest when he's part of the family's daily adventures. As a Jack Russell Terrier / Shih Tzu Mix, Benny offers a wonderful blend of intelligence, playfulness, and affection. The Jack Russell side brings confidence, curiosity, and an energetic spirit, while the Shih Tzu contributes a loving, loyal, and people-oriented personality. With continued guidance and positive reinforcement, Benny is expected to mature into a devoted companion who enjoys both playtime and quiet moments with his family. Benny would thrive in a home that offers: Plenty of love and companionship Positive reinforcement training Daily puppy exercise and supervised playtime 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 Benny's first family couldn't keep him, but that doesn't define his future. He's ready to find the family that will love him forever. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Benny is still a young puppy and is in one of the most important learning stages of his life. Like all puppies, he'll need guidance as he learns house manners, basic obedience, and confidence in new situations. 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 Benny will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training House-training and consistent routines Puppy-safe exercise and supervised play Continued socialization with people and other animals Mental enrichment through toys, games, and training sessions Plenty of patience, encouragement, and love With consistency and gentle guidance, Benny will grow into a confident, well-mannered, and loyal companion. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Bringing home a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes providing veterinary care, training, exercise, and plenty of love. Benny will need: Completion of his puppy vaccination schedule Neutering when age-appropriate Monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention A high-quality diet to support healthy growth Daily exercise and mental stimulation Ongoing obedience training and socialization A safe, loving indoor home We recommend scheduling a wellness examination with your veterinarian shortly after adoption to establish care and ensure Benny continues to grow into a healthy, happy adult dog.

Story
Meet Rocky ❤️ Three Little Paws, One Very Big Heart—Rocky Is Ready for His Forever Family Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Poodle Mix Gender: Male | Age: 6 years old | Weight/Size: 28 lbs (Small-Medium) Special Feature: Rocky has three legs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: ❤️ Very Loving | Gentle | Sweet-Natured | Affectionate Medical: ✔️ Neutered | ✔️ Vaccinated Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Rocky is a special Jack Russell Terrier / Poodle mix weighing approximately 26 pounds. This handsome boy may have only three legs, but he certainly isn't missing any love to give. Rocky is described as incredibly loving and noble, with a gentle and sweet nature. He's friendly with other dogs and good with children, making him a wonderful candidate for many different types of families. Being a three-legged dog doesn't mean Rocky can't enjoy a happy, active, and fulfilling life. Many tripod dogs adapt remarkably well and enjoy walks, exploring, playtime, and everyday family activities. His family simply needs to be thoughtful about his individual mobility and physical needs. Rocky's Jack Russell Terrier and Poodle heritage makes for a fun combination. Both breeds are known for being intelligent and highly trainable. Jack Russells tend to be lively, curious, playful, and adventurous, while Poodles are often affectionate, people-oriented, clever, and eager to learn. Rocky will benefit from activities that engage both his mind and body, while keeping his exercise appropriate for a three-legged dog. His ideal family will provide: Plenty of love and human companionship Daily exercise appropriate for his mobility Mental stimulation and interactive toys Positive-reinforcement training Continued socialization Comfortable places to rest A safe environment with good traction Regular grooming and coat maintenance Healthy weight management A secure indoor home where he's part of the family A lifelong commitment Most importantly, Rocky needs someone who sees the wonderful dog he is—not the leg he doesn't have. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Rocky's future family should allow him time to become comfortable with his new surroundings and learn the household routine. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house training, leash manners, basic commands, boundaries, and household routines as needed. 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 Because Rocky has three legs, his adopter should also pay attention to his physical comfort. Non-slip flooring, maintaining a lean and healthy weight, limiting unnecessary jumping, and providing appropriate exercise can help reduce excess stress on his remaining limbs and joints. Rocky doesn't need to be treated as fragile. He simply needs a family willing to understand his body and help him stay comfortable and active. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Rocky is already neutered and vaccinated. Because tripod dogs place additional demands on their remaining limbs, maintaining Rocky at a healthy weight will be particularly important throughout his life. His future family should provide: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Recommended vaccinations and boosters Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Routine dental care Regular brushing and professional grooming as needed Quality nutrition and healthy weight management Exercise appropriate for his mobility Monitoring of his remaining legs, joints, and overall movement Mental stimulation and enrichment Continued positive-reinforcement training Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs A safe and comfortable indoor home If Rocky ever develops changes in his movement, activity level, or comfort, his family should have him evaluated by a veterinarian rather than assuming the change is simply related to being a tripod. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Rocky, 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 helping deserving dogs find safe, loving, permanent homes. Although we are based in Los Angeles, California, we coordinate safe and reliable transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. Rocky may walk through life on three paws, but he has every bit as much love, personality, and joy to give as any other dog. He's loving, gentle, dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and ready for someone to see just how special he is. Rocky isn't looking for sympathy—he's looking for his family. ❤️September 20, 2026, 12:18 pm

Meet Fiona Tiny, Sweet, and Ready to Grow Up With Her Forever Family Breed: Rat Terrier Mix Gender: Female | Age: 07/10/2026 | Weight/Size: 5 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: ❤️ Sweet | Friendly | Playful | Affectionate Medical: Not Provided | Spay: Age-Appropriate/Pending Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Fiona is an absolutely adorable 2-month-old Rat Terrier mix weighing just over 4½ pounds. She's still a tiny baby with an entire lifetime of growing, learning, exploring, and loving ahead of her. Fiona is friendly with other dogs and good with children. Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown. As a Rat Terrier mix, Fiona may grow into a bright, curious, playful, energetic, and affectionate companion. Rat Terriers are often clever little dogs who enjoy being involved with their families. They may be small, but they can have plenty of personality, enthusiasm, and intelligence packed into their little bodies. Because Fiona is only two months old and a mixed breed, her eventual adult size, appearance, personality, and energy level cannot be predicted with certainty. Fiona's future family should be prepared to provide her with plenty of: Love and companionship Age-appropriate play and exercise Puppy socialization Positive-reinforcement training Mental stimulation and enrichment Safe chew toys Consistent routines and boundaries Patience through puppyhood Continued veterinary care A safe indoor home A lifelong commitment She's tiny now, but adopting Fiona means making a promise to care for her through puppyhood, adulthood, and eventually her senior years. Puppy Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At only two months old, Fiona is truly a baby. Her adopter should expect all the normal parts of raising a young puppy—including potty accidents, chewing, puppy nipping, short attention spans, nighttime adjustment, bursts of energy, and lots of learning. Rescue puppies generally arrive with basic training at best, so Fiona's family should be prepared to work on: House training Crate training as appropriate Basic commands Leash introduction Appropriate chewing Bite inhibition Calm greetings Household boundaries Safe puppy socialization Becoming comfortable with handling and grooming At this young age, positive experiences matter. Gentle handling, appropriate socialization, consistent routines, and reward-based training can help Fiona develop confidence and good habits as she grows. Please also remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand her new household routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home Every puppy develops at her own pace. Fiona needs a family willing to patiently teach her rather than expecting her to already understand how to live in a human household. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Fiona's vaccination, deworming, and other veterinary information was not provided, so her adopter should review her complete medical records with a veterinarian. At only two months old, she is still in an important stage of puppy veterinary care. Her future family should work closely with their veterinarian to make sure she receives everything she needs on the appropriate schedule. Her family should be prepared to provide: Puppy wellness examinations Age-appropriate vaccinations and boosters Spaying when age-appropriate Deworming and parasite prevention as recommended Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention Quality puppy nutrition for healthy growth Routine dental care as she matures Continued training and socialization Age-appropriate exercise Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs A safe and loving indoor home Until Fiona's veterinarian confirms that she has adequate vaccine protection, her adopter should be careful about exposing her to higher-risk public areas where unknown or unvaccinated dogs may have been. Because she's currently such a tiny puppy, supervision around larger dogs, young children, furniture, stairs, and other situations where she could accidentally be injured is also important. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Fiona, 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 helping deserving dogs find safe, loving, permanent homes. Although we are based in Los Angeles, California, we coordinate safe and reliable transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. Fiona is only two months old and barely beginning her journey. She's tiny, dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and has her entire life waiting ahead of her. She's looking for a family who won't just fall in love with the adorable puppy she is today, but who will love, teach, protect, and care for the dog she becomes for the rest of her life.

Meet Penguin Male DOB: May 19, 2023 Weight: 22 lbs Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Rat Terrier Mix Neutered (Fixed) Vaccinated Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready Personality, Breed Info & Expectations Penguin is an outgoing, friendly little guy with a fun personality and a big zest for life packed into a small body. He loves being around people, enjoys interaction, and carries himself with the confident, entertaining energy Terrier lovers know and adore. He has matured beautifully into a lively companion who still enjoys playtime and activity while also loving affection and companionship from his humans. Penguin thrives when he feels included and part of the action. As a Jack Russell Terrier / Rat Terrier mix, Penguin may show traits such as intelligence, curiosity, alertness, and playful energy. Both breeds are known for being highly engaging, clever little dogs who enjoy staying mentally and physically active. Penguin would thrive in a home that can provide: Daily walks and playtime Mental stimulation and engagement Structure and consistency Companionship and inclusion as part of the family He would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a social, entertaining, and affectionate dog with lots of personality. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Many rescue dogs come from very different backgrounds. Some may have previously lived in homes, while others may have come from the streets, overcrowded shelters, neglect situations, or environments where they had little structure or guidance. Because of this, most rescue dogs arrive with only basic training at best, and some may have had no formal training at all. Even dogs who appear well-behaved in foster care or at the rescue are still adjusting and learning. The rescue environment itself also does not always allow for extensive one-on-one training. While we work hard to provide safety, structure, socialization, and basic guidance, adopters should be prepared to continue training and support after adoption. Penguin will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training Structure and consistency Continued socialization and engagement Mental stimulation and routine Patience during adjustment periods Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 days to decompress 3 weeks to learn your routine 3 months to fully feel at home With patience, stability, and commitment, rescue dogs often blossom into deeply loyal lifelong companions. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Owning a dog is a lifelong commitment that includes daily exercise, companionship, routine veterinary care, training, mental stimulation, and financial responsibility. Penguin will need: Daily walks, exercise, and interaction Continued training and engagement Routine wellness exams and preventative veterinary care A safe, stable, indoor living environment Consistent veterinary care, proper nutrition, preventative care, and emotional stability are all essential to helping him live a healthy and happy life. Penguin is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting this wonderful dog, 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 rescue dedicated to giving dogs a second chance at a loving home.

This little guy is a goofy, silly puppy who brings plenty of fun and personality wherever he goes. He's at the perfect age for exploring, playing, learning, and figuring out the world around him. George is good with other dogs and children, while his compatibility with cats is currently unknown. As a Chihuahua / Terrier mix, George may grow into a bright, affectionate, curious, playful, and spirited companion. Both Chihuahuas and Terriers can pack a surprising amount of personality into a smaller body, and George is already showing that he's no exception! Because he is still very young, his exact adult size, appearance, energy level, and temperament cannot be guaranteed. George would love a family ready to enjoy his puppy antics while also giving him the structure, training, socialization, exercise, and companionship he needs to grow into a confident adult dog. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect George may be cute and tiny, but he's still a puppy who needs to learn all the important skills that come with being a family dog. His adopter should expect normal puppy behaviors such as potty accidents, chewing, puppy nipping, bursts of energy, curiosity, and plenty of goofy mischief. Rescue puppies generally arrive with basic training at best. George's family should be prepared to work on house training, leash skills, basic commands, recall, appropriate chewing, household boundaries, and continued positive socialization. Training should always be patient, consistent, and based on positive reinforcement. 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 George may be ready to have fun immediately, but he should still be given time to adjust at his own pace. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care George's vaccinations are currently up to date, and his neuter will be completed when age appropriate. Because he is only three months old, his adopter should continue his puppy veterinary schedule and complete any remaining vaccinations and boosters recommended by his veterinarian. His future family should provide routine veterinary care, parasite prevention, quality puppy nutrition, dental care, age-appropriate exercise, continued training and socialization, and veterinary treatment whenever needed. As a small puppy, George should also be handled carefully and protected from rough play, unsafe jumps, open doors or gates, and interactions that could accidentally injure such a little dog. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting George, 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. Adopting a puppy means committing to George through every stage of his life—not only while he's tiny and adorable. He'll need continued training, veterinary care, patience, exercise, companionship, and lots of love. George is seven little pounds of goofy puppy personality. He's silly, playful, friendly, and ready to make his future family laugh for years to come. Give this little guy the chance to grow up knowing that he's loved, safe, and finally home.
