His name, Peluches, means stuffed animals or plush toys in Spanish, and it couldn't be more fitting for this lovable little guy. With his affectionate nature and calm demeanor, Peluches has all the makings of a wonderful companion for someone looking for a gentle, loving dog. Peluches is described as very sweet and mellow, making him an appealing match for a family seeking a dog with a more relaxed personality. While some young dogs are constantly on the move, Peluches has shown a calmer, easygoing side that makes him especially endearing. One of his wonderful qualities is his ability to get along with other dogs and cats. This makes him a promising candidate for a household that already has pets, provided everyone receives appropriate introductions and time to adjust. At just one year old, Peluches is still a young dog with plenty of life ahead of him. He has moved beyond the earliest stages of puppyhood but is still at an age when continued training, socialization, and positive experiences will help him mature into a confident adult companion. Weighing 17 pounds, Peluches is a manageable size for many different living arrangements. Whether his future family lives in a house with a yard or an apartment with access to regular walks and outdoor activities, what matters most is that he receives the companionship, exercise, care, and affection he deserves. What Makes Peluches Special? Very Sweet: Peluches has a gentle, lovable personality. Mellow Temperament: His relaxed nature makes him a lovely companion for a family that appreciates a calmer dog. Dog-Friendly: He can get along with other dogs, making him a promising addition to a multi-dog household. Cat-Friendly: Peluches can also get along with cats, an especially wonderful quality for families with feline companions. Young Adult: At one year old, he has many wonderful years of companionship ahead of him. Manageable Size: At 17 pounds, he is small enough for many living situations while still enjoying the activities of a young dog. Fully Vetted and Neutered: His veterinary care and neuter procedure have been completed. About the Poodle Terrier Mix A Poodle Terrier mix combines the potential characteristics of two intelligent, lively, and engaging breed groups. Poodles are known for their intelligence, trainability, athleticism, and strong bonds with their families. They often enjoy learning new commands, participating in interactive activities, and spending time with their people. Terriers are known for their curiosity, determination, alertness, and spirited personalities. Originally bred for various working purposes, many Terriers enjoy exploring, investigating new environments, and engaging in activities that challenge their minds. As a Poodle Terrier mix, Peluches may inherit characteristics from both sides of his heritage, including: Intelligence and Trainability: Both Poodles and many Terrier breeds are quick learners who benefit from positive reinforcement. Affection and Companionship: These dogs often develop close relationships with their families. Curiosity and Alertness: They may enjoy investigating new sights, sounds, and smells. Playfulness: Even mellow individuals may enjoy interactive games and engaging activities. Independent Thinking: Terrier influence can sometimes bring a determined personality that benefits from consistent training. Mental Stimulation: Puzzle toys, scent games, and learning new commands can help keep their minds active. Adaptability: With appropriate exercise, training, and companionship, many Poodle Terrier mixes can adjust well to different household environments. Because Peluches is a mixed breed, his individual temperament, appearance, energy level, and grooming needs may vary. His known mellow and sweet personality should be considered more important than general breed expectations when determining whether he is a good match for a family. Coat & Grooming Expectations Poodle Terrier mixes can have a variety of coat textures, including soft, wavy, curly, wiry, or combinations of these. Depending on his coat, Peluches may require regular brushing and professional grooming to prevent tangles and matting. Although Poodles are often associated with lower-shedding coats, a Poodle mix is not guaranteed to be hypoallergenic or low-shedding. Families with allergies should not assume compatibility based on breed alone. Peluches offers a wonderful combination of a sweet, mellow temperament and the intelligence and companionship often associated with Poodle Terrier mixes. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Although Peluches is already one year old, he is still a young dog who will benefit from continued training, structure, and positive reinforcement. His mellow temperament is a wonderful quality, but it does not necessarily mean he already understands household routines or commands. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, and adopters should be prepared to help their new companion learn the expectations of their home. Essential Training & Household Adjustment Peluches' future family should be prepared to work on: House Training: Establishing a consistent bathroom routine and reinforcing appropriate habits. Leash Manners: Teaching him to walk comfortably and safely on a leash. Basic Obedience: Practicing commands such as sit, stay, come, down, and leave it. Positive Reinforcement: Rewarding desirable behaviors with treats, praise, and affection. Household Boundaries: Helping him understand expectations around furniture, food, doors, and personal belongings. Confidence Building: Encouraging him to become comfortable with unfamiliar environments and experiences at his own pace. Socialization: Continuing positive experiences with people, dogs, and other animals. Independence Training: Gradually helping him become comfortable spending reasonable periods alone. Understanding Poodle Terrier Behavior Poodle Terrier mixes are often intelligent and curious dogs who benefit from mental stimulation and consistent routines. Although Peluches has a mellow personality, his breed background may mean he enjoys learning new things and participating in activities with his family. His future family should understand that some Poodle Terrier mixes may display: Curiosity about unfamiliar environments. Interest in interactive toys and puzzle games. Alertness to sounds or movement. Independent thinking during training. Playful bursts of energy. A desire for companionship and attention. Chasing or digging instincts associated with Terrier heritage. These are general breed tendencies and are not confirmed behaviors in Peluches. Positive reinforcement, patience, and clear expectations will help him continue developing good habits. Living With Other Dogs & Cats One of Peluches' especially appealing qualities is that he can get along with both dogs and cats. For families with existing pets, this can make him a promising adoption candidate. However, even friendly animals need appropriate introductions and time to adjust. When introducing Peluches to another dog, adopters should consider: Beginning introductions in a neutral, controlled environment. Supervising early interactions. Allowing each dog personal space. Feeding dogs separately until household routines are established. Providing separate resting areas and individual attention. Watching body language and avoiding forced interactions. For homes with cats, introductions should be gradual. Cats should always have safe spaces where they can retreat, and interactions should be supervised until everyone is comfortable. Peluches' history of getting along with other animals is encouraging, but successful relationships still depend on the personalities and comfort levels of all pets involved. Exercise & Daily Activities Peluches has a mellow personality, but he still needs appropriate daily exercise and mental stimulation. His routine may include: Comfortable daily walks. Gentle interactive playtime. Exploring new sights and smells. Puzzle toys and enrichment games. Short positive reinforcement training sessions. Supervised social time with compatible dogs. Relaxation and quiet companionship with his family. Poodle Terrier mixes often enjoy activities that engage their minds, so even a calmer dog like Peluches may appreciate learning new commands or participating in scent games. His future family should observe his individual energy level and adjust activities accordingly. The 3-3-3 Rule Every rescue dog needs time to adjust to a new environment. 3 Days: Time to decompress, observe his surroundings, and begin feeling safe. 3 Weeks: Time to understand his new household routine, build confidence, and become more comfortable. 3 Months: Time to strengthen his bond with his family, settle into daily life, and begin feeling truly at home. These are general guidelines rather than strict deadlines. Every dog adjusts at their own pace. Even a sweet, mellow dog like Peluches may initially feel uncertain in a new environment. His future family should provide a quiet resting area, consistent routines, gentle encouragement, and plenty of patience as he settles in. With kindness, stability, and understanding, Peluches will have the opportunity to develop a strong and trusting relationship with his forever family. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Peluches is fully vetted and neutered, giving his future family a wonderful foundation for continuing his lifelong healthcare. Although his initial veterinary care has been completed, responsible ownership means maintaining regular preventive care throughout his life. Veterinary Care & Preventive Health His future family should prioritize: Annual Veterinary Examinations: Routine wellness visits to monitor his overall health. Vaccination Maintenance: Keeping recommended vaccinations current according to veterinary guidance. Parasite Prevention: Maintaining appropriate flea, tick, heartworm, and intestinal parasite prevention. Dental Health: Regular tooth brushing and veterinary dental examinations. Weight Management: Monitoring his weight and maintaining a healthy body condition. Nutrition: Providing a balanced diet appropriate for his age, size, and activity level. Skin and Coat Care: Regular grooming and monitoring for irritation, parasites, or other concerns. Exercise and Mobility: Maintaining regular physical activity to support healthy muscles and joints. Important Poodle Terrier Health Considerations Poodles and various Terrier breeds can have certain inherited health predispositions. Because Peluches is a mix, his individual risk depends on his specific ancestry and genetics. Potential considerations may include: Patellar Luxation: Some smaller Poodles and Terrier breeds can develop kneecap instability. Dental Disease: Smaller dogs may be more susceptible to dental crowding and periodontal disease. Skin Allergies: Some Poodles and Terriers can experience environmental or food-related skin sensitivities. Ear Infections: Dogs with floppy or hair-covered ears may need additional monitoring for irritation or infection. Eye Conditions: Certain inherited eye disorders occur in some Poodle and Terrier breeds. Joint Health: Maintaining a healthy weight and providing appropriate exercise can support long-term mobility. These are general breed-related considerations and should not be interpreted as diagnosed medical conditions in Peluches. Grooming & Coat Maintenance Depending on his coat type, Peluches may need more grooming than a short-haired dog. His family should be prepared to provide: Regular brushing to prevent tangles and matting. Professional grooming when necessary. Routine nail trimming. Ear checks and appropriate cleaning. Consistent dental hygiene. Regular skin and coat inspections. If Peluches has inherited a curly or continuously growing Poodle-type coat, professional grooming may be needed approximately every 4–8 weeks, depending on his coat and maintenance routine. Owner Responsibilities Peluches' future family should be committed to providing: A safe, stable, and loving home. Nutritious meals and access to fresh water. Regular veterinary care and preventive treatments. Daily exercise and mental enrichment. Continued positive reinforcement training. Regular grooming appropriate for his coat. Safe introductions to new animals and people. A comfortable place to sleep and relax. Patience and understanding during his adjustment period. Companionship, affection, and lifelong commitment. Understanding the Commitment of Adopting a Young Dog At one year old, Peluches is still developing into adulthood. Even though he is described as mellow, he may occasionally display normal young-dog behaviors such as curiosity, excitement, chewing, or testing household boundaries. His family should be prepared to reinforce positive habits and provide appropriate outlets for his energy. Adopting Peluches means committing to his physical health, emotional well-being, training, grooming, and companionship for the rest of his life. A loving home is more than a place to live. It is a lifelong promise of safety, patience, care, and unconditional love.

Meet Scout! This poor puppy has been through more than a 1 year old dog should but he is such a sweet little boy. This boy has such a big heart, and is a total love bug once he learns that he is safe! Scout is a 1 year old, 13 lb Shih Tzu / Poodle mix. (His foster thinks he may be more like 10 months - 1 year old). Farfel's can't swear to the accuracy of his breed mix as no DNA test was done. It was the opinion of New Mexico veterinarians and we're going to stay with their educated guess. Scout was picked up as a stray in New Mexico and he was extremely matted. When they shaved his matted hair off, they saw that his left eye was bulging out of its socket, and unfortunately it could not be saved. Understandably, he was confused getting picked up off the streets, going into a scary shelter, and loosing an eye. But he has been adjusting very well since getting to Colorado, and into foster care. Scout can be a little shy when meeting new people, but he is never rude or aggressive at all. He is such a lover boy at heart and when he warms up to you he turns into a total puppy!! He is the sweetest, silliest boy ever (coming from his foster who loves him SO MUCH!) We learned that having a friendly dog buddy in the home makes a huge difference for this sweet boy! We’ve seen firsthand just how much and how fast Scout blossoms in a home with another dog, and how slow and nervous he is in a home without another dog. In a foster home with a dog friend, Scout warmed up to his foster mom and her husband in just a day or 2. He loves playing with and snuggling up to his foster's dog, and quickly became a much happier, more confident little guy. Having another dog around helps Scout feel safe and gives him a friend to show him the ropes while he learns to trust his new people. Because we’ve seen how much having a doggy friend helps him feel comfortable and secure, Scout will need a home with another friendly, welcoming dog. We are not willing to put Scout's comfortability aside and adopt him to a home without another dog. From Scout's foster: * * * * "Scout started off super shy, but warmed up so fast. And by started off shy, I really just mean he was a bit hesitant of me. The second he got home and saw my dogs, he RAN out of his crate and straight to my dogs. Oh my gosh, he LOVES my dogs!!! He MUST go to a home with another PLAYFUL dog. Scout has total young dog / puppy energy and love love loves to play with my dogs! He took a few days to really warm up to us humans in the home - he is still a little stiff if I pick him up, but he got comfortable pretty fast and even loves to snuggle and fall asleep with his head on my lap. He NEVER even from day 1 showed ANY signs of aggression. I could pick him up and he didn't love it (like it just scared him) but he never tried to nip or anything. He is such a pure heart baby! After a few days, he was very very settled and his personality came right out! He is definitely a young dog, and a total puppy! Loves to play, loves toys, if you give him your hand to play with he will gnaw on it like a puppy but will happily take a toy instead. He LOVES toys - all kinds! He is totally crate trained and sleeps in his crate quietly at night (though I think he would love to sleep in bed if you let him). He does stay in his crate when we leave the house, but we left him loose last time we ran errands and he did totally fine so definitely does not need the crate! He picked up the potty training fast and while I wouldn't say he is fully potty trained yet, he is certainly almost there! By day 3 he felt comfortable following me and my dogs outside to our yard to potty. The first few days I carried him out with us and had him on a leash, but after a few days he wanted to follow us out! He has literally 1 pee accident a day, maybe, and that's all. But he never marks!! Thank god! And he poops outside every time! I even was telling him this morning to come back inside with us because everyone else was done and going inside and he looked at me, looked back at the yard, then went poop before coming inside. He's such a good boy!!! Oh - and come to think of it, I have never heard him bark!! Have not heard a peep out of this dog (yet)! We learned today, after about a week with this sweetie that he might prefer his main person to be a female. When I'm home he's not nervous anymore, and doesn't act skittish with my husband, but I left him home with my husband (and dogs) the other day while I went to work and he was super nervous all day with my husband, until I got home! He comes to work with me now (and does great!) but maybe his primary person should be a female, as he warms up faster and is more comfortable with us. Though I am sure with time he will learn to warm up when alone with my (or anyone's) husband, haha. So give Scout a few days to really warm up. He can be a bit nervous about human touch that's not on his terms until he's warmed up. Also if you reach for him or pet him from his blind side you may startle him. But you will not regret being a bit patient the first few days once this absolute silly sweetheart comes out of his shell!" * * * * This sweet guy, with a gorgeous shed-free coat (excellent for those with allergy concerns ) will require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming and excellent nutrition. Current research is very clear that the best diet we can provide for our pets is a fresh, human grade natural diet. Farfel's recommends Chi Diet (chidog.com) due to our personal experience with our own dogs. It's one of the most important choices we make for our dogs great health and longevity. Since Scout is just a young guy, he's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show him the way. He has all the potential in the world to be an awesome and loving best friend. Scout will form firm bonds with his family and learn socialization skills through virtual or in-person positive reinforcement / force-free Obedience Classes. These classes will make a profound difference in a young dog's ultimate behavior and in his relationship / bonding with his 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 feels very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal virtual or in-person positive reinforcement / force-free training classes. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Scout out to a home that doesn't choose to offer him this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person positive reinforcement / force-free trainers in your area. Because Scout is a bit unsure and learning to trust, though he is a sweet boy, we know that he would be too overwhelmed in a home with kids. Scout will be up to date on his vetting / vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. He has also been neutered to support Farfel's commitment to a euthanasia - free future in the canine population. Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet as can be pup. 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 Scout, 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.

Meet Rocky ❤️ Three Little Paws, One Very Big Heart—Rocky Is Ready for His Forever Family Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Poodle Mix Gender: Male | Age: 6 years old | Weight/Size: 28 lbs (Small-Medium) Special Feature: Rocky has three legs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: ❤️ Very Loving | Gentle | Sweet-Natured | Affectionate Medical: ✔️ Neutered | ✔️ Vaccinated Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Rocky is a special Jack Russell Terrier / Poodle mix weighing approximately 26 pounds. This handsome boy may have only three legs, but he certainly isn't missing any love to give. Rocky is described as incredibly loving and noble, with a gentle and sweet nature. He's friendly with other dogs and good with children, making him a wonderful candidate for many different types of families. Being a three-legged dog doesn't mean Rocky can't enjoy a happy, active, and fulfilling life. Many tripod dogs adapt remarkably well and enjoy walks, exploring, playtime, and everyday family activities. His family simply needs to be thoughtful about his individual mobility and physical needs. Rocky's Jack Russell Terrier and Poodle heritage makes for a fun combination. Both breeds are known for being intelligent and highly trainable. Jack Russells tend to be lively, curious, playful, and adventurous, while Poodles are often affectionate, people-oriented, clever, and eager to learn. Rocky will benefit from activities that engage both his mind and body, while keeping his exercise appropriate for a three-legged dog. His ideal family will provide: Plenty of love and human companionship Daily exercise appropriate for his mobility Mental stimulation and interactive toys Positive-reinforcement training Continued socialization Comfortable places to rest A safe environment with good traction Regular grooming and coat maintenance Healthy weight management A secure indoor home where he's part of the family A lifelong commitment Most importantly, Rocky needs someone who sees the wonderful dog he is—not the leg he doesn't have. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Rocky's future family should allow him time to become comfortable with his new surroundings and learn the household routine. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house training, leash manners, basic commands, boundaries, and household routines as needed. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand his new household routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home Because Rocky has three legs, his adopter should also pay attention to his physical comfort. Non-slip flooring, maintaining a lean and healthy weight, limiting unnecessary jumping, and providing appropriate exercise can help reduce excess stress on his remaining limbs and joints. Rocky doesn't need to be treated as fragile. He simply needs a family willing to understand his body and help him stay comfortable and active. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Rocky is already neutered and vaccinated. Because tripod dogs place additional demands on their remaining limbs, maintaining Rocky at a healthy weight will be particularly important throughout his life. His future family should provide: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Recommended vaccinations and boosters Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Routine dental care Regular brushing and professional grooming as needed Quality nutrition and healthy weight management Exercise appropriate for his mobility Monitoring of his remaining legs, joints, and overall movement Mental stimulation and enrichment Continued positive-reinforcement training Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs A safe and comfortable indoor home If Rocky ever develops changes in his movement, activity level, or comfort, his family should have him evaluated by a veterinarian rather than assuming the change is simply related to being a tripod. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Rocky, 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 helping deserving dogs find safe, loving, permanent homes. Although we are based in Los Angeles, California, we coordinate safe and reliable transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. Rocky may walk through life on three paws, but he has every bit as much love, personality, and joy to give as any other dog. He's loving, gentle, dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and ready for someone to see just how special he is. Rocky isn't looking for sympathy—he's looking for his family. ❤️October 28, 2026, 10:15 am
