Story
Biggs is not actually that large but boy is his personality larger than life! This little guy is go, go, go! If you`re an adventurer, a hiker, a runner, Biggs would likely be a good fit for you. He is quite affectionate but has not had much experience with kids so bring your family down to see if it`s a good match. This sweet boy would like to find an active family that will take him to meet new people and experience new things. He has lived successfully with a dog in his previous home, so if you have a resident pup, we suggest you bring them down to see if they are canine companions.

Meet Lentil Female DOB: November 29, 2025 Weight: 13 pounds Breed: Pug Mix Spayed (Fixed): Pending (age-appropriate) Vaccines: Pending (age-appropriate) Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready Personality, Breed Info & Expectations Lentil is an adorable young Pug mix puppy with a sweet personality, playful energy, and affectionate nature. At only 6 months old, she is still learning about the world around her and enjoys cuddles, companionship, playtime, and exploring new experiences with curiosity and excitement. She has the happy, silly puppy energy that Pugs are known for while also loving closeness and attention from her humans. Lentil is at a wonderful age where her personality is blossoming, and she is learning more every day through positive experiences, structure, and routine. As a Pug mix, Lentil may show traits such as: A loving, people-oriented personality Playful and affectionate energy Strong emotional bonds with family Social and companion-focused behavior A desire to be included in everyday activities Pug mixes are often deeply devoted companions who thrive when they are part of the family and receive plenty of affection, interaction, and companionship. Lentil would thrive in a home prepared for: Ongoing puppy training and supervision Daily companionship and interaction Structure, consistency, and routine Positive socialization and enrichment A lifelong commitment to her emotional and physical well-being Puppies are adorable, but they are also a major responsibility requiring patience, supervision, training, and long-term commitment throughout every stage of life. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Many rescue puppies come from uncertain beginnings and may not have had structure, socialization, or training before arriving at rescue. Even young puppies require significant guidance and supervision to properly learn how to navigate life in a home environment. Puppies are not automatically trained simply because they are young. The rescue environment itself also does not always allow for extensive one-on-one training. While we work hard to provide safety, basic structure, and socialization, adopters should expect to continue all training and development after adoption. Adopting a puppy means being prepared for: Potty training and accidents Teething and chewing phases Crate training and leash training Nighttime wakeups and supervision Jumping, barking, and playful puppy behavior Ongoing socialization and confidence-building Daily exercise, enrichment, and structure Routine veterinary visits and vaccine boosters Financial commitment throughout the dog's lifetime Because Lentil is still very young and small, extra care should also be taken around: Larger animals Rough play Stairs and jumping Unsafe chewing hazards Open doors or unsecured outdoor spaces Lentil will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training Daily structure and routine Continued socialization and exposure Mental stimulation and enrichment Patience, consistency, and supervision 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, guidance, and commitment, puppies like Lentil grow into wonderful lifelong companions. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Owning a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes training, exercise, routine veterinary care, financial responsibility, and emotional commitment throughout every stage of life. Lentil will need: Ongoing puppy training and guidance Routine veterinary visits and vaccine boosters Preventative care including flea, tick, and heartworm prevention Proper nutrition and growth monitoring Daily exercise, enrichment, and companionship A safe, stable, indoor living environment Because Lentil is a Pug mix, adopters should also be mindful of overheating during warm weather and maintain a healthy weight to support her long-term health. Lentil is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting this wonderful puppy, 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.

We understand that transportation and adoption fees can sometimes feel like a big commitment, and we truly appreciate every person who considers opening their heart and home to a rescue dog. Our goal is simply to give these dogs the best chance at being seen, adopted, and loved. 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.

Story
Jack is a 3-4 year old Pug weighing about 16lbs.  Jack came from Mexico where he was brought to a shelter in pretty bad condition.  His eye was damaged and needed to be removed immediately.  We don't know what happened to his eye, but he has since fully recovered and is happy, healthy little guy!   Jack gets along well with all people and is an amazing little guy.  He is very snuggly and loves to follow his foster Momma around the house.  He gets along with other dogs but since he is a sassy little Pug a proper introduction is usually necessary.  He does well at the dog park and LOVES chasing his tennis balls and playing fetch. He is great on walks and a cute little snorty, happy Pug. If you are interested in adopting Jack, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2668187##

** If you are interested in adopting Poncho please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Meet Poncho! Poncho is an adorable, 1 year old, 14lb Chihuahua / Pug mix with the cutest squishy little pug face (and tail!) and a personality that absolutely lights up the room. This goofy, happy little guy came to Colorado from a high-kill shelter in rural Texas, where he quickly became a staff favorite and completely stole everyone’s hearts. Poncho is incredibly friendly, social, and full of personality. He has that hilarious, clownish charm that makes Pug mixes so lovable, combined with the affectionate, loyal nature of a Chihuahua. He’s the kind of dog who keeps you smiling all day long with his silly expressions, funny little noises, zoomies, and playful antics. Poncho loves being involved in whatever his people are doing and has a naturally happy-go-lucky attitude that is impossible not to adore. From Poncho's foster: "This little boy is SO funny!!!! He is totally potty trained!! He spends the night in his crate quietly, but LOVES to cuddle and would love to sleep in bed with his person if they let him. On walks he is very eager to say hello to all new people and new dogs. He is so social and SO friendly!!! He's a really good boy. He WILL however try to bolt out the front door if I open it even if he is across the house. Not because he is scared, but because he is so curious and definitely an adventurer. So his adopter needs to be careful when opening the front door and he probably won't be able to be an off leash dog. But otherwise he is so so so good!" One of Poncho’s favorite things in the world is other dogs! He absolutely LOVES canine friends and thrives around them. Whether he’s wrestling during playtime, following another dog around the house, or snuggling up for a nap together, Poncho is happiest when he has buddies to hang out with. Because he’s so dog-social, we think he would thrive in a home with another playful, friendly pup who would enjoy having a built-in best friend. We'd like to place Poncho in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence. Training is so important in the future behaviors of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this loving choice. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both in-person and virtual positive reinforcement / force- free trainers in your area. Poncho is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered. Farfel's Rescue is a fully foster based rescue, and offers a one week trial with every adoption. We feel that this is much more beneficial to not only the dog, but the adopter too. We believe that only getting 20-30 minutes with a dog before deciding on a lifetime commitment is not a fair amount of time to the adopter, or the dog. Therefore we give adopters one week with the dog to assure it is the right fit, and offer a full refund of their adoption fee should it not workout within the week trial. Farfel's Rescue has been doing adoptions this way since 2005 and is thrilled to adopt out ~400 dogs each year. Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

** If you are interested in adopting Theo please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Meet Theo! Theo is a 1 year old, 16 pound silly guy who is guaranteed to keep a smile on your face. With his adorable squishy face and super silly personality, Theo is so fun!! He appears to be a purebred Pug, but of course, we cannot say for sure. Theo was found in New Mexico as a stray and we do not DNA test our rescue dogs, so we can't say for certain, but he sure looks the part! Theo is the definition of happy go lucky. He's goofy, playful, affectionate, and always ready to turn an ordinary day into an adventure. Whether he's zooming around the yard, tossing a toy in the air, or making everyone laugh with his silly antics, Theo approaches life with enthusiasm and joy. This friendly little guy loves people and thrives on attention. He enjoys being part of whatever you're doing and is always happy to tag along, whether that's a walk around the neighborhood, a trip to the park, or a cozy evening on the couch. Theo is also a big fan of other dogs and would absolutely love a home with a playful dog to romp around and share adventures with. That said, he's social and adaptable enough that he would also be perfectly happy as an only dog, provided he gets plenty of love, attention, and opportunities to play. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate best friend with a huge personality packed into a small package, Theo may just be your perfect match! We'd like to place Theo in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love.

Story
We promise Tessa isn't sad... that's just her face! Tessa is a cute as can be Pug / Chihuahua mix (according to New Mexico veterinarians..all we know for certain is that she's absolutely adorable and irresistible!). Tessa is currently between 2 and 3 years old and weighs a tiny 13 lbs of pure love! Tessa is starting out with great energy and a very sweet and kind nature. At between 2 and 3 years old, our sensitive girl may be initially shy. This makes perfect sense in that her life has been turned upside down in the last month or so. Spending time at a high-kill shelter is enough to frighten any dog! Tessa's New Mexico rescuer is thrilled to inform us that this young pup is blossoming. After just a short time in foster care, she sees that Tessa seems happier and braver in her environment. She's emerging into an adorable and fun- loving ball of love and sweetness.. We know that the long transport between New Mexico and Colorado will be challenging for our sweet girl, but with love and patience, we know she'll come around and thrive. Tessa is so beautiful...with a stunning tricolor coat that speaks of her breed mix. Tessa's forever family will need to make a lifelong commitment to periodic baths / brushing and excellent nutrition. We have found through our research and experience that a human grade, fresh diet is by far the best choice for a dog's long-term health as well as longevity. While it is a more expensive choice, it will result in far fewer veterinarian visits as well as a longer, healthier life. Our choice is Chi Dog (chidog.com) for the health of your best friend. Tessa is appropriately playful and inquisitive for her young age. Once this pup is comfortable with all the changes in her life, She'll be so loving and cuddly. This snuggly girl will be very excited to be a couch or bed dog and snuggle next to her favorite people at the end of an active day. Even at her young age, it's clear that Tessa is SO smart and sweet - very typical of the Pug / Chi personality. Some would say that both these breeds are among the most intelligent and engaging in the dog world. Since Tessa is just a young girl, she's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show her the way. She has all the potential in the world to be an awesome adult companion. Tessa will form firm bonds with her family and learn positive socialization skills through virtual or in-person positive reinforcement / force-free Obedience Classes. These classes will make a profound difference in a dog's ultimate behavior and in her relationship and bonding with her people. It does take time and commitment yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you out in the world with excellent behavior. Farfel's Rescue feel very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement / force-free training classes that are virtual or in-person. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Tessa out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement / force-free virtual or in-person trainers in your area. We're open to Tessa finding her forever home with dog-crazy retirees with lots of energy to train and enjoy a silly and super-smart young dog. A younger family that works from a home-based office would also be a great choice for a dog that would love nothing more than getting loved up periodically throughout the day. Tessa enjoys her relationships with all humans and dogs. We would prefer, however, to place her in a home with older kids (tail pulling or rough treatment will create an adult dog that's fearful of children). Older kids can also be active participants in a training regimen and friendship that's so important in a dog's development. Tessa will be up to date on her vetting / vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She will also be spayed to stay true to our hopes for a euthanasia - free future in the canine population. If interested in this sweet as can be best friend, applications are currently being accepted. An adoption application can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Tessa, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

Farfel's Rescue has been doing adoptions this way since 2005 and is thrilled to adopt out 400 dogs each year. Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

Story
We promise Tessa isn't sad... that's just her face! Tessa is a cute as can be Pug / Chihuahua mix (according to New Mexico veterinarians..all we know for certain is that she's absolutely adorable and irresistible!). Tessa is currently between 2 and 3 years old and weighs a tiny 13 lbs of pure love! Tessa is starting out with great energy and a very sweet and kind nature. At between 2 and 3 years old, our sensitive girl may be initially shy. This makes perfect sense in that her life has been turned upside down in the last month or so. Spending time at a high-kill shelter is enough to frighten any dog! Tessa's New Mexico rescuer is thrilled to inform us that this young pup is blossoming. After just a short time in foster care, she sees that Tessa seems happier and braver in her environment. She's emerging into an adorable and fun- loving ball of love and sweetness.. We know that the long transport between New Mexico and Colorado will be challenging for our sweet girl, but with love and patience, we know she'll come around and thrive. Tessa is so beautiful...with a stunning tricolor coat that speaks of her breed mix. Tessa's forever family will need to make a lifelong commitment to periodic baths / brushing and excellent nutrition. We have found through our research and experience that a human grade, fresh diet is by far the best choice for a dog's long-term health as well as longevity. While it is a more expensive choice, it will result in far fewer veterinarian visits as well as a longer, healthier life. Our choice is Chi Dog (chidog.com) for the health of your best friend. Tessa is appropriately playful and inquisitive for her young age. Once this pup is comfortable with all the changes in her life, She'll be so loving and cuddly. This snuggly girl will be very excited to be a couch or bed dog and snuggle next to her favorite people at the end of an active day. Even at her young age, it's clear that Tessa is SO smart and sweet - very typical of the Pug / Chi personality. Some would say that both these breeds are among the most intelligent and engaging in the dog world. Since Tessa is just a young girl, she's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show her the way. She has all the potential in the world to be an awesome adult companion. Tessa will form firm bonds with her family and learn positive socialization skills through virtual or in-person positive reinforcement / force-free Obedience Classes. These classes will make a profound difference in a dog's ultimate behavior and in her relationship and bonding with her people. It does take time and commitment yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you out in the world with excellent behavior. Farfel's Rescue feel very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement / force-free training classes that are virtual or in-person. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Tessa out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement / force-free virtual or in-person trainers in your area. We're open to Tessa finding her forever home with dog-crazy retirees with lots of energy to train and enjoy a silly and super-smart young dog. A younger family that works from a home-based office would also be a great choice for a dog that would love nothing more than getting loved up periodically throughout the day. Tessa enjoys her relationships with all humans and dogs. We would prefer, however, to place her in a home with older kids (tail pulling or rough treatment will create an adult dog that's fearful of children). Older kids can also be active participants in a training regimen and friendship that's so important in a dog's development. Tessa will be up to date on her vetting / vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She will also be spayed to stay true to our hopes for a euthanasia - free future in the canine population. If interested in this sweet as can be best friend, applications are currently being accepted. An adoption application can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Tessa, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful.

We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

Story
There's nothing quite like the fun of a Boston Terrier's silliness! These super-smart and very loving dogs are so pure and vulnerable that it's unbearable to think of them in a scary shelter with euthanasia always a possibility due to lack of space or on the terrifying streets alone and hungry. Velvet is an adorable, 2 year old, 19lb purebred Boston Terrier with a sweet nature, soulful eyes, and so much love to give. This beautiful girl recently found herself in a shelter through no fault of her own when her owner had to move and was unable to keep her. After spending her entire life in a home, the shelter has been a big adjustment, and Velvet is understandably a little nervous in this unfamiliar environment. But beneath that uncertainty is a gentle, loving dog who is ready to find a family of her own again. One thing that instantly brings Velvet out of her shell? Other dogs! She absolutely loves canine companionship and lights up when she's around her doggy friends. Having another dog around helps her feel safe, confident, and happy, which is why we are requiring that Velvet be adopted into a home with another friendly resident dog. She truly thrives with a canine companion by her side and would love a built-in best friend to help show her the ropes. According to her previous owner, Velvet is house trained, making her transition into her new home that much easier. She is also wonderful with other dogs and enjoys their company immensely. Velvet is looking for a patient, loving family that understands she may need a little time to settle in after all the changes she's experienced. Once she feels secure, we know her sweet personality will continue to blossom. Velvet is appropriately playful and inquisitive for her age. She's also so loving and cuddly. She would be very excited to be a couch potato and snuggle with her favorite people at the end of an active, busy day. She's also SO smart and engaging - very typical of the Boston Terrier personality. Many would say theTerrier breeds are among the most loyal and engaging in the dog world. Since Velvet is just a young pup, she's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show her the way. She has all the potential in the world to be an awesome family companion. Velvet will form firm bonds with her family (as well as other dogs and humans) and practice her positive socialization skills through virtual or in-person positive reinforcement training classes. This training experience will make a profound difference in a dog's behavior and their bonding with their people. It does take time and commitment yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you out in the world with excellent behavior. We feel very strongly that every dog and their family deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement training classes. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Velvet out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual or in-person positive reinforcement / force-free trainers in your area. We're open to Velvet finding her forever home with a retired couple or individual with lots of energy to train and enjoy a silly and super-smart pup. Velvet enjoys her relationships with all humans and dogs, we would prefer however, to place her in a home with older kids only (tail pulling or rough treatment by young kids will create an adult dog that's fearful of children). Older kids can be active participants in a training regimen and friendship that's so important in a dog's development. Velvet will be up to date on her vetting/vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. She has also been spayed in our quest to make a euthanasia-free future in the canine population a reality. Applications are currently being accepted for this beautiful, very sweet and loyal best friend. An application can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Velvet please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com.

Story
** If you are interested in adopting Timmy please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Meet Timmy! Timmy is a handsome, 2 year old, 23lb purebred Boston Terrier with a fun-loving personality, a charming smile, and a heart full of affection. Timmy recently found himself looking for a new home through no fault of his own when his owner had to move and was unable to keep him. While losing the only home you've ever known is never easy, Timmy has remained a happy, friendly boy who is ready to start his next chapter with a family of his own. One of Timmy's favorite things in the world is spending time with other dogs. He absolutely loves canine companionship and thrives when he has a doggy friend by his side. Having another dog around helps him feel secure, engaged, and happy, which is why we are requiring that Timmy be adopted into a home with another friendly resident dog. He would love nothing more than a built-in best friend to play, relax, and share adventures with. According to his previous owner, Timmy is house trained and has done well with children ages 8 and up. He combines the playful, entertaining nature that Boston Terriers are known for with a sweet and affectionate side that makes him a wonderful companion. Timmy is looking for a family that will cherish him as a true member of the household and give him the love and stability he deserves. Whether he's joining you for daily walks, curling up nearby after a day of fun, or playing with his canine sibling, Timmy is happiest when he's surrounded by the people and dogs he loves. If you're searching for a friendly, loyal companion and already have a dog looking for a new best friend, Timmy may be the perfect addition to your family. This wonderful boy is ready to leave his past behind and start a lifetime of love, companionship, and happy memories in his forever home. We'd like to place Timmy in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence. Training is so important in the future behaviors of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this loving choice. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both in-person and virtual positive reinforcement / force- free trainers in your area. Timmy is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered. Farfel's Rescue is a fully foster based rescue, and offers a one week trial with every adoption. We feel that this is much more beneficial to not only the dog, but the adopter too. We believe that only getting 20-30 minutes with a dog before deciding on a lifetime commitment is not a fair amount of time to the adopter, or the dog. Therefore we give adopters one week with the dog to assure it is the right fit, and offer a full refund of their adoption fee should it not workout within the week trial. Farfel's Rescue has been doing adoptions this way since 2005 and is thrilled to adopt out 400 dogs each year. Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup.
