Story
❗ Current Location: South Korea❗ • Personality: She's sociable and energetic. She adapts to new places right away and loves to reach out to new people and friends she meets. She knows how to say hello to familiar people and friends. She loves to play with other dogs and loves to play with people. She picks up on new training quickly, so we think she would make a great dog for a family with a good understanding and training knowledge of dogs. She's a bit of a sneaky prankster right now, so she can get into trouble, but she's affectionate, gentle, and full of energy. • Affinity with: -Cats: She currently lives with cats in a temporary foster home. She is not aggressive with cats but is very interested in them, so if you have a cat that likes dogs, she would be fine. -Dogs: She is currently living with the dogs in her foster home without any issues. They play well with each other, are socialized, and warm up quickly to new dogs they meet. -Adults/Kids: She is very fond of people and loves to be petted. She warms up quickly to people she meets for the first time. • Shedding: Moderate. There is shedding in certain periods. Her fur is best brushed daily with a silicone brush. • Walking Manner: She loves to go for walks, both familiar and new, and prefers to take fast, wide, territorial walks (rather than slow, sniffing the trails). He also loves to run in the park, but will sometimes try to run outside if there is no fence. She is fast and has a lot of energy, so she loves to run around in large parks and meet people and dogs. She also loves to go for walks in the mountains, but she has a hunting instinct and is interested in small snakes, rodents, and birds. • Housetrained: She goes potty on pee pads and highly prefers to go outside. She can chew on wood or plastic furniture and grab small items fallen on the floor and play with them. She's very playful and will run around with you if you have a like-minded friend in the house. • Separation Anxiety: She's always been around other dogs, so we can't confirm, but we think she'll be fine on her own. • Bark or Howl: She barks briefly when she hears strangers outside. There is no howl • Carsickness: She had drooling at first, but now she rides well.

Story
Meet Bucky Mini Schnauzer / Maltese Mix | Male | DOB: 3/1/2024 | 15 Pounds | Healthy Bucky is 15 pounds of loyalty wrapped in a happy, wiggly body. At two years old, he’s the perfect balance — playful enough to keep life fun, mature enough to settle beautifully into a routine. He’s the kind of little dog who chooses his person and loves them with his whole heart. Personality Bucky is affectionate, bright, and deeply people-oriented. He enjoys walks, toys, and interactive play, but what he truly loves most is being close. He’ll follow you from room to room, curl beside you on the couch, and look at you like you’re the best thing that ever happened to him. He bonds strongly and thrives when he feels included. Breed Info A Maltese/Schnauzer mix often brings intelligence, trainability, and strong attachment to their people. They are companion-oriented dogs who do not thrive in isolation. Grooming will be part of her lifelong care, and mental engagement is important to prevent boredom. With proper training and routine, this mix becomes wonderfully loyal and well-adjusted Owner Responsibilities Daily companionship, gentle exercise, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement. Bucky will flourish with routine and stability. Things to Consider Is your housing secure and pet-approved long term? Are you prepared financially for grooming, veterinary care, and emergencies? If your life changes — a move, new job, relationship changes — will Chelsea still have a place in it? Adopting a young dog means committing through every stage of life. Vet Care Even though Chelsea is healthy, it is important to establish care with your own veterinarian immediately after adoption. This ensures proper vaccination follow-up, growth monitoring, and preventative care planning. The 3-3-3 Rule The first 3 days she may feel unsure or overstimulated. The first 3 weeks she will begin understanding your routine. By 3 months, with patience and consistency, she will feel safe and truly at home. Adjustment is a process, not an instant transition. Why Bucky? Bucky is the kind of dog who becomes your little shadow and your steady companion. He will celebrate your return home, curl beside you at night, and offer loyalty that feels deeply personal. If you’re ready for a devoted best friend who chooses you every day, Bucky is ready to choose you back. If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue. We can’t wait to connect you with your new fur-ever friend. Ozzie and Friends Rescue makes arrangements for all dogs adopted to be transported all across the Western United States, Canada and the Midwest.March 13, 2026, 9:56 am
