&#226&#156&#168 Meet Teresita Female • Kelpie / Husky Mix • Born 7/17/2025 • ~20 pounds • Not Spayed Yet Teresita is a bright, beautiful young pup with a heart as big as her potential. At just five months old, she’s in that magical stage of puppyhood where curiosity, playfulness, and affection all blend together. She’s still growing — not just in size, but in confidence, learning, and love — and she’s ready for a family who will guide her gently as she discovers the world. Personality Teresita is joyful, smart, and full of life. She has a playful spirit and an eager-to-learn mind, paired with a sweet, affectionate side that loves human connection. Expect happy wiggles, puppy zoomies, and those quiet moments when she curls up nearby after a busy day. She thrives on interaction and will do best with people who enjoy engaging with their dog and helping her grow into her best self. Breed Info (Kelpie / Husky Mix) This wonderful mix often brings together: High intelligence and problem-solving skills Energetic, athletic builds Loyal, people-oriented personalities A need for both physical activity and mental stimulation Teresita will benefit from continued training, enrichment, and an active, loving home. Owner Responsibilities Teresita’s future family should be prepared to: Continue puppy training and socialization Provide daily exercise and mental enrichment Establish routines, structure, and positive guidance Commit to spay surgery when age-appropriate Maintain consistent veterinary care Even though Teresita is healthy, adopters should take her to their own veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption. Things to Consider Before Adopting Puppies require time, patience, and supervision Training is ongoing and essential Confirm landlord or HOA approval, including breed and size policies Consider your daily schedule, energy level, and long-term plans A dog is a lifetime commitment, not just a puppy phase The 3-3-3 Rule The first 3 days help Teresita decompress, the first 3 weeks help her learn your routine, and the first 3 months are when trust deepens and she truly understands she’s home. &#226&#156&#168 Why Teresita Will Be a Great Addition Teresita has the kind of joyful spirit that fills a home with laughter, movement, and love. With the right guidance, she will grow into a loyal, intelligent companion who will walk beside you through life’s adventures. If you’re ready to invest your time, heart, and patience, Teresita will repay you with unconditional love for years to come.   If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue.
