Layka is a delightful young female mixed breed  born August 27, 2021, weighing 50 pounds.  Layka a zest for life and an infectious enthusiasm that will brighten any home. Born with a naturally happy and outgoing personality, Layka thrives on adventure and loves the thrill of exploring new places. Her playful spirit and love for cuddles make her an ideal companion for families who enjoy an active lifestyle and plenty of affection. Layka is best suited for a household where she can be the only dog, allowing her to soak up all the love and attention she deserves. While she is naturally joyful and affectionate, Layka will benefit from socialization and training to help her adjust to her new environment and become the best version of herself. Our In-Home Experience with the Lovely Layka Layka is a delightful and silly girl who will undoubtedly capture your heart, one laugh at a time. From the moment she arrived at our home, her curiosity was evident—she sniffed every inch of the place and quickly decided that the couch was her favorite spot. A Day in the Life of Layka Layka's daily routine is a charming mix of relaxation and playful energy. About 75% of her day is spent as a content couch potato, while the remaining 25% is dedicated to her puppy zoomies, where she eagerly wants to play. Her play mode often involves heading to the backyard for a game of "fetch" with her Kong ball. Fetch deserves quotation marks because, more often than not, Layka ends up throwing the ball in the air herself and chasing it around like an exuberant baby kangaroo. She sprints full speed from one end of the yard to the other, taking frequent pit stops at the kitchen water dish for huge, refreshing slurps. It's essential to have a nice big bowl because Layka loves her water! After about 10-15 minutes of this energetic play, she sprints back inside, bringing her ball to the couch as a signal that she's all tuckered out. A Perfect Work-From-Home Companion I work from home, and Layka has proven to be a wonderful coworker. She spends her time in the living room, keeping an eye on passersby from the window. Every half hour or so, she trots into my office for a brief session of belly rubs and kisses before returning to her relaxing routine. Having Layka around has made my workdays much more enjoyable. Settling In and House Training Layka is house-trained, although she did have a couple of accidents during her first week with us, which we attributed to being in a new environment. She quickly learned to stand by the back door and gaze at us when she wanted to be let outside. Occasionally, she just wanted to enjoy the sunshine. When ready to come back in, she would sit politely at the door and give a short little bark to let us know. Overall, Layka has brought endless joy and laughter into our home. Her playful antics and loving demeanor have made her a beloved member of our household. By welcoming Layka into your home, you're inviting a happy and playful companion into your life. Her adventurous spirit and affectionate nature are sure to fill your days with joy and warmth. If you're ready for a lively and loving furry friend, Layka might just be the perfect match for your family! If interested please go to our website and fill out an application.

Meet Jingle A Happy Girl Looking for a Patient, Experienced Person to Show Her the World Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix Gender: Female | DOB: April 23, 2025 | Age: Approximately 1.5 Years Weight: 45 lbs | Size: Medium Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids: No | Cats: Unknown Best Match: Experienced Dog Owner Personality: Happy | ❤️ Sweet | Learning | Ready to Explore Medical: ✔️ Spayed | ✔️ Fully Vaccinated | ✔️ Healthy Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Jingle’s Story Jingle is a happy Catahoula Leopard Dog mix who has spent her life being raised in a sanctuary environment. Born April 23, 2025, she is still a young dog with so much potential—she simply needs the right person willing to give her the patience, guidance, and experiences she hasn't yet had. Because Jingle has grown up in a sanctuary rather than a traditional home, many parts of everyday family life may be new to her. She may need continued socialization and time to become comfortable with new people, places, sounds, routines, and experiences. Jingle is not a good match for a home with children. She needs an experienced adult owner who understands that building confidence takes time and won't expect her to adjust to everything overnight. Catahoula Leopard Dogs are often intelligent, athletic, alert, independent, and deeply loyal. They can thrive with people who provide structure, mental stimulation, appropriate exercise, and consistent positive training. Jingle doesn't need someone to rush her. She needs someone who will help her discover the world at a pace that allows her to feel safe and successful. Training, Socialization & What to Expect For Jingle, patience and positive socialization will be especially important. Her new owner should be prepared to introduce unfamiliar experiences gradually rather than overwhelming her with too much too quickly. A predictable routine and positive-reinforcement training can help her develop confidence and learn what life in a home is all about. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best. Jingle may need continued work with household routines, leash skills, basic commands, recall, appropriate greetings, handling, new environments, and everyday household experiences. Because she needs additional socialization, her adopter should focus on quality rather than quantity. Calm, successful experiences are far more valuable than forcing her into busy or uncomfortable situations. The 3-3-3 Rule 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to begin understanding her new routine 3 Months to build trust, confidence, and feel more at home For a dog like Jingle, adjustment may take longer—and that's perfectly okay. The goal isn't to meet a deadline. It's to give her the time she needs to succeed. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Jingle is healthy, fully vaccinated, and spayed. Her future owner should continue providing routine wellness examinations, recommended vaccine boosters, flea and parasite prevention, dental care, quality nutrition, healthy weight management, grooming, nail care, appropriate exercise, and veterinary treatment whenever necessary. Mental enrichment will be important as well. Training games, sniffing activities, food puzzles, structured walks, and other confidence-building activities can give Jingle productive ways to use both her mind and body. Adoption Information Jingle is looking for a patient, loving, experienced adult home without children. Her adopter should understand that she may need additional socialization and time to transition from sanctuary life into life as a companion dog. If you are interested in adopting Jingle, please complete an adoption application: 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. Our goal is to give every dog the best possible chance of finding the right family and a home where they will be loved and cared for throughout their life. Jingle has spent her young life in a sanctuary. Now she deserves the chance to discover what having a person of her own feels like. She's a happy girl who doesn't need perfection—she needs patience, consistency, love, and someone willing to show her that the world beyond the sanctuary can be a safe and wonderful place.

Meet Merlina Safe in Foster Care and Blossoming—Now Merlina Is Ready for a Forever Home of Her Own ❤️ Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog / Terrier Mix Gender: Female | Age: Approximately 8 months  | Weight/Size: 20 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Cats: Unknown | Kids ✔️ Medical: Spay Status: Fixed | Vaccination Status: Current | Microchip Status: Not Provided Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Merlina's Story Merlina's journey has already taken an important turn for the better. After being found without a permanent home, Merlina was fortunate enough to be welcomed into a loving foster home. Instead of having to wait in a rescue environment, she has been able to experience the comfort and stability of living with a family while she waits for the one thing she still needs—a forever home of her own. Life in foster care has given Merlina the opportunity to show everyone what a wonderful dog she truly is. Merlina is outgoing, loving, and incredibly friendly. She enjoys meeting people and has an open, social personality that makes her easy to connect with. She's the kind of dog who wants to be involved in what's happening around her, whether that's heading out for a walk, spending time outside, playing, or simply relaxing with her people. At approximately two years old, Merlina is at a fantastic age. She has moved beyond the earliest puppy stage while still being young, active, and ready for plenty of adventures. At 35 pounds, she's also a manageable medium size that can fit comfortably into many different lifestyles. Her time in foster care has helped prepare her for family life, but moving into a permanent home will still be a transition. Merlina needs someone willing to give her the patience and consistency every rescue dog deserves while she learns that this time, she's truly home. As a Catahoula Leopard Dog / Terrier Mix, Merlina may have many of the intelligent, energetic, and loyal qualities associated with these breeds. Catahoula's are known for being bright, athletic dogs that form strong bonds with their families, while Terriers often bring confidence, curiosity, and a fun-loving personality. Merlina will benefit from a home that provides both physical activity and opportunities to keep her mind engaged. Merlina would thrive with a family that offers: Plenty of love and companionship Daily walks and regular exercise Positive reinforcement training Interactive toys and mental enrichment Continued socialization Consistent household routines and boundaries Plenty of opportunities to be included in family activities A safe indoor home where she's treated as a cherished member of the family A lifelong commitment Merlina's foster home gave her a safe place to land. Now she's ready for the family who will give her a permanent place to belong. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Living in foster care gives Merlina valuable experience in a home environment, but adopters should remember that every new home brings different people, routines, sounds, expectations, and surroundings. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling comfortable 3 Weeks to understand her new household routine 3 Months to settle in, build trust, and truly feel at home Her future family should be prepared to continue working on any household manners, leash skills, boundaries, or other training she may need. Merlina's intelligence and outgoing personality can make positive reinforcement training a wonderful way to build a relationship with her. Consistency, praise, treats, games, and clear expectations will help her understand what her new family wants from her. She will benefit from: Continued positive reinforcement training Daily walks and physical activity Interactive games and enrichment Consistent routines Continued positive socialization Plenty of family interaction Patience during her transition from foster care With structure, affection, and time to adjust, Merlina has everything she needs to become a wonderful lifelong companion. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Adopting Merlina means making a commitment to care for her throughout every stage of her life. Her future family should be prepared to provide: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Vaccinations as recommended by a veterinarian Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Routine dental care A nutritious, balanced diet Healthy weight management Daily physical exercise Mental stimulation and enrichment Continued training and socialization Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs A safe, comfortable indoor home We recommend establishing care with a veterinarian shortly after adoption so Merlina can have an ongoing wellness plan tailored to her individual needs.
