At 3 years old, she’s in the prime of her life—healthy, energetic, and full of love to give. Cassidy is known for her loyal spirit and happy demeanor. She absolutely adores her people, and with her affectionate nature, she’ll make a wonderful companion for an active and dedicated family. Breed Info: A mix of Labrador Retriever, Collie, and Shepherd, Cassidy combines intelligence, energy, and devotion.

Cassidy is a great candidate for agility work, hiking adventures, or simply being your best buddy in life. Special Notes: Cassidy is a spirited girl who loves to explore!

She is currently enrolled in a basic training course and making wonderful progress. Continued training will be key to helping her thrive and channel her energy in positive ways. ‍‍ Owner Responsibilities: Cassidy’s new family will need to: Provide daily exercise and playtime. Continue with her training to reinforce good manners. Ensure a secure environment to keep her safe. Offer patience, structure, and plenty of love. &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Things to Consider: Cassidy is best suited for an active household that can keep up with her energy. Landlords and property owners should be checked if you rent, as breed restrictions sometimes apply. Families should be prepared for her enthusiasm—she may not be best for homes with toddlers, but will love older children. The 3-3-3 Rule: Remember the adjustment period: 3 days to decompress. 3 weeks to learn your routine. 3 months to fully feel at home. Vet Care: Once adopted, getting Cassidy to your vet is important for a checkup and to establish ongoing care. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Why Cassidy Will Be a Great Addition: Cassidy isn’t just looking for a home—she’s looking for her forever partner. She has all the qualities of a best friend: loyal, protective, playful, and loving. With her happy spirit and willingness to learn, she’ll bring joy and companionship to the right home. She will thrive with someone who sees her spirited energy not as a challenge but as part of her charm. Cassidy is ready to love and be loved—could she be the one for you?

Meet Nena Learning That the World Can Be Safe Again—Nena Is Ready for a Patient, Loving Forever Home ❤️ Breed: Black Labrador Retriever / Terrier Mix Gender: Female | DOB: 08/17/2023 | Size/Weight: 40 pounds Good With: Dogs ✔️ | People ✔️ | Kids: Older, Dog-Savvy Children Recommended | Cats: Unknown Personality: ❤️ Affectionate | Friendly | ⚡ High Energy | Loves Attention Medical: ✔️ Spayed | ✔️ DHPP Vaccinated | ✔️ Dewormed | ❌ Not Microchipped Special Consideration: Nena can be reactive to sudden movements and loud noises due to her history of neglect and mistreatment. Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Nena's Story Nena's past hasn't always given her a reason to trust. Before coming into rescue, Nena experienced neglect and mistreatment, leaving her understandably sensitive to sudden movements and loud sounds. Experiences like these can stay with a dog long after she's physically safe, and Nena is still learning that she no longer needs to be on alert. What makes Nena especially touching is that despite everything she's experienced, she still loves people. Nena is friendly, affectionate, and absolutely loves attention. Once she feels comfortable, she wants to be close to her people and soak up the affection she missed earlier in life. She also gets along well with other dogs and enjoys opportunities to play and socialize. At three years old, Nena is an active, high-energy girl who needs more than a quick trip outside each day. She'll do best with someone who enjoys walks, playtime, outdoor activities, and keeping an energetic dog engaged. Once she's had an opportunity to burn off some energy, Nena is more than happy to settle in and enjoy affection from her favorite people. As a Black Labrador Retriever / Terrier Mix, Nena combines two intelligent and energetic breed types. Labradors are known for their friendly, affectionate, people-oriented personalities, while Terriers often bring confidence, curiosity, determination, and playful energy. Nena will benefit from a home that gives her appropriate outlets for both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Nena's sensitivity is important for potential adopters to understand. Unexpected loud noises or sudden movements can startle her and cause her to react, particularly when she's unsure of what's happening. She needs people who will respect those boundaries and help her build confidence rather than forcing her into situations that make her uncomfortable. A predictable environment, calm handling, positive reinforcement, and patience will be important for her. Because of her sensitivity to sudden movements and noise, a home with older, dog-savvy children would likely be more appropriate than one with very young children. Nena would thrive with a family that can provide: Plenty of affection and companionship Daily exercise appropriate for a high-energy dog Regular walks and interactive play Positive reinforcement training A calm and predictable household routine Patience around her known triggers Gradual, positive exposure to new experiences Mental enrichment and interactive toys Continued socialization with friendly dogs A secure indoor home where she feels protected A lifelong commitment from people who understand that trust takes time Nena doesn't need someone to erase her past. She needs someone who will help her discover that her future can be completely different. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Nena's new family should expect an adjustment period and allow her to develop trust at her own pace. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand her new household and routine 3 Months to settle in, build trust, and truly begin feeling at home Because Nena is sensitive to sudden movements and loud noises, her training should focus heavily on positive reinforcement and confidence building. Harsh corrections or punishment-based methods would not be appropriate for her. Her family can help by providing predictable routines, giving her a quiet place to retreat when overwhelmed, rewarding calm behavior, and introducing new experiences gradually. Her high energy also needs an appropriate outlet. Daily exercise, sniffing walks, training games, puzzle toys, and interactive play can help Nena stay physically and mentally fulfilled. With consistency and patience, Nena can continue learning that unexpected sounds and movements don't always mean something bad is going to happen. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Nena is already spayed, has received her DHPP vaccine, and has been dewormed. She is not currently microchipped. Her future family should be prepared to provide: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Any additional vaccines or boosters recommended by a veterinarian Rabies vaccination if not already completed Microchipping and registration Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Routine dental care A nutritious, balanced diet Daily physical exercise Mental stimulation and enrichment Continued positive reinforcement training Veterinary care whenever illness or injury occurs A safe, comfortable indoor home Because of Nena's history and sensitivity to certain triggers, her adopter may also benefit from working with a qualified positive-reinforcement trainer or behavior professional who can help her continue developing confidence without overwhelming her. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Nena, 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. Although we are based in Los Angeles, California, we proudly coordinate safe and reliable transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. Nena's past taught her to be cautious, but it never took away her desire to love and be loved. Beneath that sensitivity is a friendly, energetic, affectionate girl who wants attention, companionship, and a person she can trust. With patience and kindness, Nena is ready to learn what it feels like to finally be safe—and truly home. ❤️August 17, 2026, 10:26 pm

Fortunately, compassionate rescuers found her before it was too late and gave her the opportunity to begin a new life filled with hope. Not long after entering rescue, Botas was diagnosed with canine distemper, a serious illness that many puppies are unable to overcome.

Now she's ready to spend the rest of her life doing what every puppy should—playing, learning, and being loved by a family she can call her own. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Like all puppies, Botas is still learning about the world around her. Her new family should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, teething, house-training, and exploring everything with curiosity. 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 Botas is eager to learn and will thrive with patient, positive reinforcement training. Her new family should continue providing: Positive reinforcement training House-training and consistent routines Daily exercise appropriate for her age Continued socialization Mental enrichment through toys and games Plenty of love, patience, and encouragement With guidance, consistency, and lots of affection, Botas will mature into a confident, loving companion who will reward her family with endless loyalty. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Bringing home a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes proper veterinary care, training, exercise, and companionship. As part of responsible pet ownership, Botas will need: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Completion of any remaining vaccinations as recommended by your veterinarian Spaying when age-appropriate Monthly flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention A balanced, high-quality diet to support healthy growth Daily exercise and mental enrichment Continued obedience training and socialization A safe, loving indoor home where she is treated as a cherished member of the family As a distemper survivor, we recommend sharing Botas' medical history with your veterinarian during her first wellness visit.

She is currently enrolled in a basic training course and making wonderful progress. Continued training will be key to helping her thrive and channel her energy in positive ways. ‍‍ Owner Responsibilities: Cassidy’s new family will need to: Provide daily exercise and playtime. Continue with her training to reinforce good manners. Ensure a secure environment to keep her safe. Offer patience, structure, and plenty of love. &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Things to Consider: Cassidy is best suited for an active household that can keep up with her energy. Landlords and property owners should be checked if you rent, as breed restrictions sometimes apply. Families should be prepared for her enthusiasm—she may not be best for homes with toddlers, but will love older children. The 3-3-3 Rule: Remember the adjustment period: 3 days to decompress. 3 weeks to learn your routine. 3 months to fully feel at home. Vet Care: Once adopted, getting Cassidy to your vet is important for a checkup and to establish ongoing care. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Why Cassidy Will Be a Great Addition: Cassidy isn’t just looking for a home—she’s looking for her forever partner. She has all the qualities of a best friend: loyal, protective, playful, and loving. With her happy spirit and willingness to learn, she’ll bring joy and companionship to the right home. She will thrive with someone who sees her spirited energy not as a challenge but as part of her charm. Cassidy is ready to love and be loved—could she be the one for you?

Meet Nena Learning That the World Can Be Safe Again—Nena Is Ready for a Patient, Loving Forever Home ❤️ Breed: Black Labrador Retriever / Terrier Mix Gender: Female | DOB: 08/17/2023 | Size/Weight: 40 pounds Good With: Dogs ✔️ | People ✔️ | Kids: Older, Dog-Savvy Children Recommended | Cats: Unknown Personality: ❤️ Affectionate | Friendly | ⚡ High Energy | Loves Attention Medical: ✔️ Spayed | ✔️ DHPP Vaccinated | ✔️ Dewormed | ❌ Not Microchipped Special Consideration: Nena can be reactive to sudden movements and loud noises due to her history of neglect and mistreatment. Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Nena's Story Nena's past hasn't always given her a reason to trust. Before coming into rescue, Nena experienced neglect and mistreatment, leaving her understandably sensitive to sudden movements and loud sounds. Experiences like these can stay with a dog long after she's physically safe, and Nena is still learning that she no longer needs to be on alert. What makes Nena especially touching is that despite everything she's experienced, she still loves people. Nena is friendly, affectionate, and absolutely loves attention. Once she feels comfortable, she wants to be close to her people and soak up the affection she missed earlier in life. She also gets along well with other dogs and enjoys opportunities to play and socialize. At three years old, Nena is an active, high-energy girl who needs more than a quick trip outside each day. She'll do best with someone who enjoys walks, playtime, outdoor activities, and keeping an energetic dog engaged. Once she's had an opportunity to burn off some energy, Nena is more than happy to settle in and enjoy affection from her favorite people. As a Black Labrador Retriever / Terrier Mix, Nena combines two intelligent and energetic breed types. Labradors are known for their friendly, affectionate, people-oriented personalities, while Terriers often bring confidence, curiosity, determination, and playful energy. Nena will benefit from a home that gives her appropriate outlets for both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Nena's sensitivity is important for potential adopters to understand. Unexpected loud noises or sudden movements can startle her and cause her to react, particularly when she's unsure of what's happening. She needs people who will respect those boundaries and help her build confidence rather than forcing her into situations that make her uncomfortable. A predictable environment, calm handling, positive reinforcement, and patience will be important for her. Because of her sensitivity to sudden movements and noise, a home with older, dog-savvy children would likely be more appropriate than one with very young children. Nena would thrive with a family that can provide: Plenty of affection and companionship Daily exercise appropriate for a high-energy dog Regular walks and interactive play Positive reinforcement training A calm and predictable household routine Patience around her known triggers Gradual, positive exposure to new experiences Mental enrichment and interactive toys Continued socialization with friendly dogs A secure indoor home where she feels protected A lifelong commitment from people who understand that trust takes time Nena doesn't need someone to erase her past. She needs someone who will help her discover that her future can be completely different. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Nena's new family should expect an adjustment period and allow her to develop trust at her own pace. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand her new household and routine 3 Months to settle in, build trust, and truly begin feeling at home Because Nena is sensitive to sudden movements and loud noises, her training should focus heavily on positive reinforcement and confidence building. Harsh corrections or punishment-based methods would not be appropriate for her. Her family can help by providing predictable routines, giving her a quiet place to retreat when overwhelmed, rewarding calm behavior, and introducing new experiences gradually. Her high energy also needs an appropriate outlet. Daily exercise, sniffing walks, training games, puzzle toys, and interactive play can help Nena stay physically and mentally fulfilled. With consistency and patience, Nena can continue learning that unexpected sounds and movements don't always mean something bad is going to happen. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Nena is already spayed, has received her DHPP vaccine, and has been dewormed. She is not currently microchipped. Her future family should be prepared to provide: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Any additional vaccines or boosters recommended by a veterinarian Rabies vaccination if not already completed Microchipping and registration Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Routine dental care A nutritious, balanced diet Daily physical exercise Mental stimulation and enrichment Continued positive reinforcement training Veterinary care whenever illness or injury occurs A safe, comfortable indoor home Because of Nena's history and sensitivity to certain triggers, her adopter may also benefit from working with a qualified positive-reinforcement trainer or behavior professional who can help her continue developing confidence without overwhelming her. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Nena, 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. Although we are based in Los Angeles, California, we proudly coordinate safe and reliable transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. Nena's past taught her to be cautious, but it never took away her desire to love and be loved. Beneath that sensitivity is a friendly, energetic, affectionate girl who wants attention, companionship, and a person she can trust. With patience and kindness, Nena is ready to learn what it feels like to finally be safe—and truly home. ❤️August 17, 2026, 10:26 pm

She was abandoned at a young age and left to survive without the care and protection every puppy deserves. Fortunately, compassionate rescuers found her before it was too late and gave her the opportunity to begin a new life filled with hope. Not long after entering rescue, Botas was diagnosed with canine distemper, a serious illness that many puppies are unable to overcome. Thanks to exceptional veterinary care, proper treatment, and her incredible determination, Botas fought through every obstacle and made a full recovery.

As a Black Labrador Retriever / Terrier Mix, Botas is expected to grow into an intelligent, loyal, and active companion. Labrador Retrievers are known for their friendly, eager-to-please personalities and devotion to their families, while Terriers contribute confidence, curiosity, and playful energy. Together, these breeds create a wonderful companion for an active family looking for a lifelong best friend. Botas would thrive in a home that offers: Plenty of love and companionship Daily walks and age-appropriate exercise Positive reinforcement training Interactive toys and mental enrichment Continued socialization with people and other dogs A consistent daily routine A safe indoor home where she's treated as a beloved member of the family A lifetime of love, patience, and commitment Botas has already proven she's a fighter. Now she's ready to spend the rest of her life doing what every puppy should—playing, learning, and being loved by a family she can call her own. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Like all puppies, Botas is still learning about the world around her. Her new family should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, teething, house-training, and exploring everything with curiosity. 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 Botas is eager to learn and will thrive with patient, positive reinforcement training. Her new family should continue providing: Positive reinforcement training House-training and consistent routines Daily exercise appropriate for her age Continued socialization Mental enrichment through toys and games Plenty of love, patience, and encouragement With guidance, consistency, and lots of affection, Botas will mature into a confident, loving companion who will reward her family with endless loyalty. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Bringing home a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes proper veterinary care, training, exercise, and companionship. As part of responsible pet ownership, Botas will need: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Completion of any remaining vaccinations as recommended by your veterinarian Spaying when age-appropriate Monthly flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention A balanced, high-quality diet to support healthy growth Daily exercise and mental enrichment Continued obedience training and socialization A safe, loving indoor home where she is treated as a cherished member of the family As a distemper survivor, we recommend sharing Botas' medical history with your veterinarian during her first wellness visit. Many distemper survivors go on to live long, active, and fulfilling lives with routine veterinary care and loving homes.
