Story
Meet Taco – A Fun-Loving, Snuggly Companion with a Silly Side 🐾 Taco is an 8-year-old Maltese mix weighing 18.8 pounds (with just a few to lose), and he’s an all-around funny, affectionate, and loving little guy ready to find the right family! Taco has the perfect balance of playful and relaxed. He loves going for walks and short bursts of running, but he’s definitely not training for a marathon! He also enjoys playtime and soaking up the sunshine during a good sunbathing session. When the day winds down, Taco is more than happy to turn into a couch potato and snuggle up with his humans. This sweet boy is very people-oriented and forms strong bonds with the people he trusts. He loves greeting his favorite humans with kisses and his adorable little leg kicks. He prefers to be near his people but does just fine when left alone for a few hours. Taco already knows commands like sit, lay down, and come here—he’s a smart pup who enjoys being part of the action. Taco is considered a behavior dog and has a behavior plan in place to help set him and his future family up for success. He can be wary of strangers, particularly when they approach or interact with the people he has bonded with. Because Taco can become protective of his people, his adopters will need to understand his boundaries and be willing to follow his established behavior plan when introducing him to new people and situations. Taco lives with other dogs and cats and does well with both. He can show some resource guarding, although this has improved significantly as he has become more comfortable in his environment. On leash, Taco can occasionally be reactive, but he redirects quickly and continues to make progress. When he becomes overly excited, he may also become a little ankle-nippy. Because of these behaviors, Taco would do best in a home without young children and with adopters who are comfortable continuing to work with him. Taco has also been diagnosed with Cushing’s Disease, which will require ongoing veterinary care and management throughout his life. His future family should be prepared to continue monitoring and managing this condition with their veterinarian. Taco may need a little extra understanding when it comes to new people, but once you're one of his people, you'll get to see the affectionate, goofy, snuggly boy underneath. With the right home willing to follow his behavior plan and respect his boundaries, Taco has so much love and personality to share. Could Taco be the perfect addition to your family? ------ Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life. Skills such as house training, leash walking, and handling may require continued practice. Progress will vary by individual dog. Homes with older children are often a good fit, depending on temperament. To learn more about NMDR and our adoption process, please visit our website.

Story
Bennie is a 5-year-old, 8-pound Maltese with a sweet personality and plenty of playful energy! He may be a little shy when you first meet him, but once Bennie realizes he is safe and comfortable, his bouncy personality shines. Bennie is outgoing, playful, and does well with other dogs. He enjoys having canine friends around and is ready to find a home where he can continue coming out of his shell and showing off his fun-loving personality. Bennie is still working on his leash skills, so a secure, fenced-in yard is required while he continues learning and adjusting to his new surroundings. This will help keep him safe as he builds confidence with walking on leash. A meet-and-greet at the shelter is required to help ensure Bennie is a good fit for his potential family and any resident dogs. If you're looking for a sweet little companion with a playful side who just needs a little time to warm up, Bennie may be the perfect match! ------ Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life.

Story
This has been a very difficult decision to make, as Coco is a sweet, affectionate, loyal companion! Unfortunately, we struggle with some behaviors - peeing in the house, barking, boredom - as she doesn't have readily available access to a yard or outdoor space and schedules don't allow for enough activity. She loves to be outside and will thrive in a nurturing home that has a yard for her to play in! She has been around other animals (cats and dogs) and does very well with both. In addition, she has always been around children and there have been no issues (she's not aggressive.) She has been well loved, so I hope that her new home will be able to enjoy her as much as we have - but with the freedom to run and play that we simply don't have. While Coco is housetrained, she has occasional accidents that should resolve when she has access to a dog door, or an owner that can take her outside frequently. She has also become a big chubby, another sign that she will thrive with more space.

Story
Luna is a wonderful little companion who does extremely well on a leash. She loves being an only dog but has done well with other small breed dogs. Luna is currently on a diet since she could stand to lose a pound or two. She does have a heart murmur and will be seeing the cardiologist prior to adoption. She is housetrained as well as puppy pad trained. She loves to play with toys and is a funny little companion with a big personality.

Story
Meet Snoopy Male DOB: November 14, 2021 (estimated) Weight: 15 pounds Breed: Terrier / Poodle Mix Neutered (Fixed) Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready Personality, Breed Info & Expectations Snoopy is a calm, loving little dog with a gentle personality and very sweet nature. He enjoys companionship, quiet affection, and simply being close to his people. Snoopy has a mellow, easygoing energy and would thrive in a peaceful, loving home where he feels safe and included. He also gets along well with: Dogs One important thing to note is that Snoopy can become protective over food around other dogs. If there is only one food bowl available, he may try to keep the other dogs away from it. This is not uncommon in rescue dogs, especially dogs who may have experienced food insecurity or survival situations in the past. Because of this, Snoopy would do best with: Separate feeding areas Structured mealtimes Supervision around food with other dogs Slow, patient guidance and routine Outside of mealtime, Snoopy is described as affectionate, calm, and very loving. As a Terrier / Poodle mix, Snoopy may show traits such as: Intelligence and emotional sensitivity Strong attachment to his people Affectionate and companion-oriented behavior Alertness and awareness A calmer but engaging personality Snoopy would thrive in a home that can provide: Daily companionship and affection Structure and routine Patience and understanding A calm, stable indoor environment He would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a gentle, loving dog with a sweet soul. 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 calm and 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 expect to continue support and guidance after adoption. Snoopy will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training Structure and consistency Calm introductions and routine Supervised feeding routines around other dogs Patience during adjustment periods Continued socialization and companionship 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 companionship, routine veterinary care, training, exercise, mental stimulation, and financial responsibility. Snoopy will need: Routine veterinary care and updated vaccines Flea prevention and deworming treatment Continued training and guidance Daily companionship and interaction Proper nutrition and preventative care A safe, stable, indoor living environment Because Snoopy is a Poodle mix, routine grooming and coat maintenance will also be important to help keep him comfortable and healthy. Consistent veterinary care, emotional stability, proper nutrition, and patience are all essential to helping Snoopy continue thriving in his future home. Snoopy is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.

Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe and reliable transport so adopted dogs can travel to their new homes across the Western United States, Canada, and the Midwest.
