You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi. I’m Mortey. I’m 5 years old, a Husky/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, and at around 65 lbs., I have been informed that I am a large dog. I disagree. I am clearly a lap dog who was accidentally issued an unreasonable amount of body. I’m a big-hearted, playful, ridiculously loving guy who is VERY tuned in to my people. Sad? I’m coming over. Need a cuddle? On my way. Trying to go to the bathroom alone? Seems unnecessary, but okay. One of my favorite things in the world is other dogs. I get excited to meet new friends, love to play, and I’m actually pretty good at reading the room. If another dog says, “Dude, not right now,” I can take the hint. I’ve lived happily with another dog and have also done well with visiting dogs. I love people, too. I can be a little nervous when I first meet someone—especially men—so I appreciate humans who give me a minute to figure them out. But once I decide you’re one of MY people? Congratulations. You have acquired a Mortey. And Mortey is gonna LOVE YOU. I’m affectionate, loyal, goofy, and always ready to play. I’ve also lived with young children and done great with them, although sometimes I forget that I’m a rather substantial gentleman. I’m house trained, smart, and a quick learner. I enjoy walks and may start out a little excited because HELLO, WE ARE GOING SOMEWHERE, but I settle in nicely. My ideal family will be active enough to keep my brain and body busy. Give me walks, playtime, toys, an adventure here and there, time with my humans, and I am one happy dude. Basically, I’m five years old, which means we can skip a lot of that tiny-puppy nonsense while still having plenty of energy for fun. So there it is. I’m Mortey—part Husky, part Rhodesian Ridgeback, part emotional-support bestie, and approximately 97% heart. I’m looking for someone who wants a smart, silly, affectionate dog who will play hard and love harder Think that sounds like your kind of guy?

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.

Meet Cappy Left on the Side of the Road as a Puppy—Now Ready for the Loving Family He Deserves Breed: Black Mouth Cur / Shepherd Mix Gender: Male | DOB: 2/24/2026 | Weight/Expected Size: 31 lbs • Expected Medium/Large Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Cats: Unknown | Kids ✔️ Medical: ❓ Neuter Status Unknown | ✔️ Current for Age Vaccinations | ✔️ Microchipped Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue provides safe transportation to approved adopters throughout the United States. https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Capy's Story Cappy's life began with an act of kindness after an act of abandonment. He and his littermates were left on the side of a road with no one to care for them. Too young to survive on their own, they depended on each other as passing cars drove by. Thankfully, they were discovered by rescuers before it was too late and brought to safety, where they finally received food, medical care, and the love every puppy deserves. Today, Cappy has left that difficult beginning behind and has grown into a happy, playful, and affectionate puppy who is ready to find a family of his own. Cappy has a fun-loving personality and enjoys making every day an adventure. He loves playing with toys, romping around with other dogs, and spending time with people. One of his favorite things is bath time—while many dogs avoid getting wet, Cappy happily enjoys splashing in the water and doesn't mind a good bath at all. His playful attitude and loving heart make him a joy to be around. He gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy having a canine companion to play with, though he would also be happy as the center of attention in a loving home. As a Black Mouth Cur / Shepherd Mix, Cappy is expected to grow into an intelligent, loyal, and active companion. Black Mouth Curs are known for their devotion, confidence, and eagerness to work with their families, while Shepherds are admired for their intelligence, loyalty, and trainability. Together, these breeds create a wonderful companion for an active family willing to provide exercise, guidance, and plenty of love. Cappy would thrive in a home that offers: Daily walks and outdoor adventures Plenty of playtime and interactive activities Positive reinforcement training Mental enrichment through puzzle toys and games Continued socialization with people and other dogs A consistent daily routine A lifetime of love, patience, and commitment Cappy's story could have ended very differently, but thanks to his rescue, he now has the opportunity to grow up knowing what it feels like to be loved. All that's missing is a forever family to share that journey with. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Like all puppies, Capy is still learning about the world around him. His new family should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, teething, learning house manners, and discovering new experiences every day. Capy is eager to learn and will thrive with patient guidance and positive reinforcement. Starting training early will help him grow into a confident, well-mannered adult dog. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to learn your household routine 3 Months to fully settle into family life Capy will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training House-training and consistent routines Daily exercise and supervised play Continued socialization with people and other dogs Mental stimulation through enrichment toys and games Plenty of love, patience, and encouragement With the right guidance, Capy has all the potential to become an incredible lifelong companion. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Bringing home a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes proper veterinary care, training, exercise, and companionship. As part of responsible pet ownership, Capy will need: Completion of his puppy vaccination schedule and routine wellness examinations Neutering if it has not already been completed, following your veterinarian's recommendation Monthly flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention A nutritious diet that supports healthy growth and development Daily physical exercise and mental enrichment Continued obedience training and socialization A safe, loving indoor home where he is treated as a valued member of the family Because Capy is still growing, strenuous repetitive exercise and excessive jumping should be limited until his joints have fully developed. We also recommend scheduling a wellness visit with your veterinarian shortly after adoption to establish care and ensure he continues to thrive.
