Story
Meet Fiona Tiny, Sweet, and Ready to Grow Up With Her Forever Family Breed: Rat Terrier Mix Gender: Female | Age: 07/10/2026 | Weight/Size: 5 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: ❤️ Sweet | Friendly | Playful | Affectionate Medical: Not Provided | Spay: Age-Appropriate/Pending Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Fiona is an absolutely adorable 2-month-old Rat Terrier mix weighing just over 4½ pounds. She's still a tiny baby with an entire lifetime of growing, learning, exploring, and loving ahead of her. Fiona is friendly with other dogs and good with children. Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown. As a Rat Terrier mix, Fiona may grow into a bright, curious, playful, energetic, and affectionate companion. Rat Terriers are often clever little dogs who enjoy being involved with their families. They may be small, but they can have plenty of personality, enthusiasm, and intelligence packed into their little bodies. Because Fiona is only two months old and a mixed breed, her eventual adult size, appearance, personality, and energy level cannot be predicted with certainty. Fiona's future family should be prepared to provide her with plenty of: Love and companionship Age-appropriate play and exercise Puppy socialization Positive-reinforcement training Mental stimulation and enrichment Safe chew toys Consistent routines and boundaries Patience through puppyhood Continued veterinary care A safe indoor home A lifelong commitment She's tiny now, but adopting Fiona means making a promise to care for her through puppyhood, adulthood, and eventually her senior years. Puppy Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At only two months old, Fiona is truly a baby. Her adopter should expect all the normal parts of raising a young puppy—including potty accidents, chewing, puppy nipping, short attention spans, nighttime adjustment, bursts of energy, and lots of learning. Rescue puppies generally arrive with basic training at best, so Fiona's family should be prepared to work on: House training Crate training as appropriate Basic commands Leash introduction Appropriate chewing Bite inhibition Calm greetings Household boundaries Safe puppy socialization Becoming comfortable with handling and grooming At this young age, positive experiences matter. Gentle handling, appropriate socialization, consistent routines, and reward-based training can help Fiona develop confidence and good habits as she grows. Please also remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand her new household routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home Every puppy develops at her own pace. Fiona needs a family willing to patiently teach her rather than expecting her to already understand how to live in a human household. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Fiona's vaccination, deworming, and other veterinary information was not provided, so her adopter should review her complete medical records with a veterinarian. At only two months old, she is still in an important stage of puppy veterinary care. Her future family should work closely with their veterinarian to make sure she receives everything she needs on the appropriate schedule. Her family should be prepared to provide: Puppy wellness examinations Age-appropriate vaccinations and boosters Spaying when age-appropriate Deworming and parasite prevention as recommended Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention Quality puppy nutrition for healthy growth Routine dental care as she matures Continued training and socialization Age-appropriate exercise Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs A safe and loving indoor home Until Fiona's veterinarian confirms that she has adequate vaccine protection, her adopter should be careful about exposing her to higher-risk public areas where unknown or unvaccinated dogs may have been. Because she's currently such a tiny puppy, supervision around larger dogs, young children, furniture, stairs, and other situations where she could accidentally be injured is also important. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Fiona, 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. Fiona is only two months old and barely beginning her journey. She's tiny, dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and has her entire life waiting ahead of her. She's looking for a family who won't just fall in love with the adorable puppy she is today, but who will love, teach, protect, and care for the dog she becomes for the rest of her life.

Story
Xander is loving and loyal with an extra helping of sass! He loves treats and training games. He knows many tricks and would love to learn more. Car rides, long walks and cuddles are some of his other favorite activities.As a middle aged dog his energy level is low to moderate. He bonds deeply with his people and is an attentive companion, ready to match your mood. He'll happily entertain you with antics, curl up with you and your book or hit the trail for an adventure! You choose!An ideal home for him is experienced with terriers, enjoys training, and is able to be with him most of the day. My kids moved out and I work full time - it's not fair for him to be alone that much. He takes daily medication (with food), a monthly injection, and twice per year labs for Addison's Disease. Strangers frighten him at first but he warms up quickly with an intentional introduction. He loves his dog sitters and other friends! I've not attempted introductions with other dogs or cats.

These three pups are from Eastern Washington where there mom was found as a stray and had a litter of 5 pups. Two have found homes and now these three are with us looking for their forever homes! They are petite little pups, estimating to be ~15 lbs fully grown but we cannot know for sure. As with any small breed dog, it should be expected that they will need dental cleanings under anesthesia at their vet and this should be financially planned for by their adopters. These pups are happy go lucky and are ready to find their forever homes - could you be the one? ##2824746##

Story
Louie’s legs are as long as his hopes for lap-dog life are high! Estimated to be around 9 months old and 23 lbs, this leggy little black-and-white cutie boy appears to be a Rat Terrier/ Jack Russell mix but of course, with rescue dogs that is simply our best educated guess. His adorable spotted coat, impossibly expressive face, and ears that somehow manage to stand up in perfect little triangles while still flopping around when he runs make him look like he walked straight out of a children's storybook. Add in his joyful personality, and you've got a dog that's very easy to fall for. Go watch Louie Longlegs on YouTube, then come right back to read more. His video is the perfect introduction to his playful spirit, sweet nature, and the delightful charm that follows him wherever those long legs take him. https://youtu.be/LNG1yBXfFRA Louie is being lovingly fostered in a home with other dogs, where he has proven himself to be a wonderful little companion. He loves having dog friends to play with, happily shares toys, enjoys splashing around in the water, and approaches life with the kind of happy curiosity that makes every day a little more entertaining. He can be a touch shy when meeting someone new, but don't expect that stage to last long. A little sweet talk and a yummy treat leads to a belly rub request and suddenly you're one of his favorite people. Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate side shines. He loves giving kisses and firmly believes that those wonderfully long legs qualify him for full-time lap dog privileges. Louie has lived with children before and has done beautifully. He is gentle taking treats, enjoys being part of the family, and has the kind of playful personality that fits naturally into an active, fun-loving household. Whether the kids are tossing toys in the yard or everyone is relaxing together after dinner, Louie is happy simply being there. He's also a great little road trip companion. He rides well in the car and is always ready to see where the day leads. He's the kind of dog who seems to find fun wherever he goes. Because Louie is still a young dog, he is continuing to polish his leash skills. He already has the basics down and is eager to learn, so with a little consistency and positive reinforcement, he'll continue growing into a wonderfully well-mannered companion. Louies love of the sprinklers and rolling in the grass would be perfectly happy living house with a yard life and because he can occasionally bark to let you know someone is at the door or he heard something, Louie is not for apartment life. It isn't constant or excessive, but shared walls probably wouldn't appreciate his enthusiasm for neighborhood updates. If you're looking for a cheerful little sidekick with a playful heart, an affectionate nature, and enough personality to keep you smiling every day, Louie is ready and waiting for you! If you think Louie Longlegs might be your perfect match, we'd love to hear from you.
