Meet Lia A Tiny Terrier With a Big Future and So Much Love to Give Breed: Rat Terrier Mix Gender: Female | Age: 3 Months DOB: July 10, 2026 (Estimated) Weight: 3.75 kg / 8 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: Playful | Curious | Sweet | Lively (Typical Puppy Traits) Medical: Vaccinations Current | Spay Status: Unknown | Microchip: Not Provided Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Safe transportation coordinated for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Lia is an adorable 3-month-old Rat Terrier mix weighing approximately 8 pounds. This precious little girl is just beginning her journey through life, and she's looking for a loving family to help her grow into a happy, confident companion. At three months old, Lia is still very much a baby. She's at an important stage of development when everyday experiences, gentle guidance, and positive interactions can help shape her confidence and behavior as she grows. Rat Terriers are often known for being intelligent, curious, lively, affectionate, and full of personality. Despite their smaller size, they can be energetic little dogs who enjoy exploring, playing, and spending time with their families. As a Rat Terrier mix, Lia may develop some of these wonderful characteristics as she matures. She would benefit from a family that can provide age-appropriate playtime, gentle exercise, mental enrichment, positive socialization, and plenty of affection. Because Lia is still growing, her adult size cannot yet be determined from her current weight alone. With patience, consistency, and love, Lia has the opportunity to grow into a wonderful lifelong companion. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At only three months old, Lia is still learning about the world. Her future family should be prepared for the normal responsibilities of raising a young puppy. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be ready to continue working on potty training, crate training if desired, leash walking, basic commands, recall, appropriate chewing, household boundaries, and positive socialization. Rat Terriers are often clever and eager to explore, so positive reinforcement, patience, repetition, and consistent routines will be especially important. Short, enjoyable training sessions will help Lia develop confidence while strengthening the bond she builds with her new family. Her adopter should also understand that puppies require supervision, structure, and time. Accidents, chewing, teething, and occasional mischief are all normal parts of puppyhood. Lia will need a family willing to invest the time and effort required to guide her through puppyhood and into adulthood. The 3-3-3 Rule 3 Days: Time to decompress and begin feeling safe. 3 Weeks: Time to understand her new household routine. 3 Months: Time to build trust, settle in, and begin feeling truly at home. These are guidelines rather than deadlines. Every rescue dog adjusts at their own pace, and Lia should be given the time she needs to feel safe and secure. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Lia's vaccinations are current, and her spay status has not yet been confirmed. Because she is only three months old, her adopter should review her medical records with a veterinarian to determine whether she needs additional puppy vaccine boosters, deworming, flea and parasite prevention, microchipping, or other preventive care. If Lia has not yet been spayed, her future family should discuss age-appropriate spaying with a veterinarian. As a growing puppy, Lia will need quality puppy nutrition, regular veterinary examinations, appropriate exercise, dental care, grooming, nail care, and continued preventive healthcare. Because she is still small and developing, her family should also provide safe play areas, gentle handling, and supervision around larger dogs or young children. Adopting a puppy is a long-term commitment that includes the time, financial responsibility, training, and care necessary throughout her life. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Lia, 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 she will be loved and cared for throughout her life. Adopting Lia means committing to her training, veterinary care, exercise, safety, companionship, and happiness throughout her life. Lia may be tiny today, but she has a whole lifetime of love, adventures, and wonderful memories waiting ahead of her. At just three months old, she's looking for someone who will be there for every milestone, every new discovery, and every little victory. This sweet little Terrier deserves a family who will love her as she grows and give her the happy ending every puppy deserves.

Story
This little guy has some serious main-character features. First, there are his ears. We are not entirely convinced Sebastian’s ears are not secretly satellite dishes. They are adorable, expressive and somehow always seem to be listening to absolutely everything. He looks like someone designed the cutest little tricolor dog possible and then added a few extra-special details just for fun. Go watch Sebastian Goodfellow | Those Ears, That Charm on YouTube and prepare to fall in love with those ears—and then discover that his personality is somehow even more lovable. https://youtu.be/ftW0Djv9xio Sebastian is approximately six years old, weighs around 22 pounds and we believe he may be a Chihuahua/Terrier mix. With rescue dogs, breed and age are always our best guesses rather than guarantees. Whatever may be in his family tree, Sebastian landed at a perfect small-medium size with an enormous amount of charm packed into him. Sebastian has a wonderful, easy confidence. He navigates new situations beautifully and meets other dogs with calm, polite social skills. He has done well with dogs his size, smaller dogs and dogs considerably larger than him. Whether the dogs around him are playing, running or simply relaxing, Sebastian is perfectly content sharing the space and going about his business. He could comfortably live with canine companions, but he does not need another dog in his home. His heart throbs for people. He was also wonderful when he met our house cat. Sebastian remained polite and composed, giving us every reason to believe he could be a good match for a home with a dog-savvy feline friend and proper introductions. One of our favorite things about Sebastian is how quickly people fall in love with him. He is friendly and deeply affectionate, but never demanding about it. He will happily snuggle up beside you when affection is available, but if you look busy, he is just as content curling up on the other side of the couch and keeping you company. He has an easy, happy presence that makes him feel at home almost immediately. Sebastian is house trained, crate trained and has been a wonderful little houseguest. He walks beautifully on leash and would make an excellent sidekick for neighborhood strolls and everyday outings. He also enjoys treats and takes them with the softest, gentlest mouth. The best thing about Sebastian is, hands down, his personality. He is lively, affectionate, a little goofy and equipped with just the right amount of spunk. He has a way of making ordinary moments more entertaining simply because he is there, whether he is trotting through the house, carrying a toy or supervising the room with those highly advanced ears. At approximately six years old, Sebastian offers a particularly lovely balance. He is happy and curious, with plenty of personality and enthusiasm, but he also knows how to settle down and enjoy a peaceful afternoon on the couch. He is confident without being over the top, affectionate without being needy and social without requiring constant entertainment. Sebastian Goodfellow is simply a really solid, all-around wonderful dog. He meets the world with good manners, a happy spirit and the kind of effortless charm that makes him easy to love. Whether he joins a home with other animals or becomes someone’s one-and-only sidekick, Sebastian is ready to fit right in. We are happy to help determine whether Sebastian could be the right match for your household.

Story
Zoey was adopted as a puppy and unfortunately has been returned at 3 years old at no fault of her own but the adopter ended up in a situation and it was best for her to find a better stable home. She is crate and house trained and very sweet really bonds hard to her person, great with other dogs but submissive and this can sometimes get her on the wrong end, specially since she doesnt think or understand the other dogs cues all the time. She lived with dogs and cats. She is 38lbs but should be 35lbs max. Travels well in the car would do best in a home that isnt super loud or crazy. The photos are current and some older from when she was a baby, her DNA results will be in photos shortly also. Her litter was batch tested with Embark breed + health test and cleared for genetic markers. She is currently fostered in Portland OR. If interested please fill out and submit an application online at Softpawsrescue.org and send in home and yard photos for consideration to adopt. We like to do 2 week Foster to Adopts on adult dogs, puppies are adoption only unless there are certain situations, so the dogs don't have to move around as much and they can bond and make sure they fit into your home before completion of adoption. Dogs adoption fee's will include vet visit/exam, spay/neuter, microchip, blood work up/dental if vet says it is needed, dewormed, up to date on shots (DHPP and Rabies, Bordetella can be done if requested we don't do it normally as we don't have the dogs in boarding, dog parks or high risk locations), current on 1 dose of flea treatment in case they brought any with them from CA.  If anything isn't mentioned that you don't see but is normally done please ask. Puppies get 2 DHPP Vaccines and 2 dewormers while in our care. ##1613672##

Story
After being adopted to a loving home for almost 10 years, Sybil found herself back with New Rattitude after her person fell too ill to care for her any longer. Being a senior girl herself, Sybil is looking for a nice retirement home. Sybil is approximately 15 years-old, around 14 lbs. and quite the character. Although both her eyesight and hearing are not what they used to be, she has a silly, playful side and she can get a little rambunctious at times for an older girl. Her most favorite thing in the world is treat/meal time and she gets very animated, jumping and prancing about in anticipation! Sybil does just fine with all the other dogs in her foster home and being followed around appears to give her some security. She does spend much of her time napping in a comfy bed both inside and out in the yard. Going on walks isn't necessary as Sybil can't go too far and moves slowly when she does venture out. She needs a securely fenced yard, and a doggie-door would be ideal since she navigates going out to do her business very well. Sybil is house-trained however, being an older girl, she can sometimes leak a bit when she gets excited or sneezes. She can get a little disoriented after waking up but, that only lasts a few minutes. Stairs or obstacles of that sort would not be ideal for Sybil, a single story home is best. She has been sleeping in a crate in her foster home and does well for the whole night with no accidents. She is mostly a quiet girl and only barks when she is getting impatient for her meal/treats. Sybil is a sweetie who enjoys the simple things, a comfy bed, lots of treats, good food, and a secure yard to wander in occassionally. She does appreciate affection (she has very soft, silky fur) but, does not like to be picked up and is not able to get on the furniture for snuggles at this point in her life. She does like to follow her people around and would feel most comfortable in a home where someone will keep her company most of the day. To see more pictures of pretty Sybil, go to https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/sybil   If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.October 17, 2026, 4:50 am
