Story
Lila Lily has the kind of satellite ears that could pick up signals from three neighborhoods away and a personality sweet enough to win over just about anyone. She is affectionate from the moment she meets you and will happily climb right into your lap, lay on top of you, and love all over you. Lila is gentle, loyal, and the perfect mix of cuddly companion and adventure buddy. She can spend the day exploring with you and then come home ready to curl up close and enjoy a quiet evening together. Watch her video and fall in love with those adorable radar ears: https://youtu.be/027RcU6j8z0?si=QHI5NXZ9jkNf5LBB Lila is approximately 2 years old and weighs about 40 pounds, making her the perfect size. She is not too big and not too small, but just right for joining you almost anywhere. We believe she may be an Australian Kelpie and Labrador Retriever mix, but with animal rescue, breed and age are always a mystery and our best guesses. When it comes to people, Lila is incredibly sweet and loving. She is affectionate even with new people and loves being close. Sit down on the floor with her, and she will gently settle against you while soaking up every bit of affection you are willing to give. She is very loyal to her people and has the kind of loving personality that makes it easy to imagine her becoming someone’s devoted best friend. We think Lila could potentially be a great dog for a family with children, and we would be happy to arrange for her to meet some kiddos. Just let us know if you would like to see how she does with children. Lila is dog friendly and has done well with the dogs we have introduced her to. She is not the type to immediately become best friends with a dog she has just met or jump straight into playtime. She prefers to take things a little slower, get acquainted, and decide how she feels before letting loose. Once she is comfortable, she will play occasionally and seems to prefer chase-style play over physical wrestling. She could do well with a medium-energy dog who will give her the time and space she needs to open up. Her new family should understand that it may take her a little while to become playful with another dog in the home. Lila would also be perfectly happy as your one and only fur baby, soaking up all the attention for herself. Lila also met our house cat, Biggie, and handled the introduction beautifully. She was appropriate and very respectful around him. She did not chase him and was not bothered by Biggie jumping around or doing all the unpredictable things cats like to do. Biggie felt comfortable around her too, which is always a great sign. We do not know whether Lila has ever lived with a cat, and this was our first time seeing her interact with one. If you have a cat in your home, we can arrange for Lila to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! Lila is crate trained and generally seems comfortable relaxing in her crate. So far, she has also shown us that she has great house manners and understands where the appropriate potty places are. As with any rescue dog adjusting to a new environment, she may need a little patience while learning her new routine. She loves treats, is eager to please, and already knows how to sit. She is not overly interested in toys right now, but that could change as she becomes comfortable and discovers which ones she likes. Her love of treats and desire to make her people happy should make continued training a fun way to strengthen your bond. Lila is easy to walk on leash and could be happy in a home with a yard, an apartment, or a townhome as long as she receives regular exercise and plenty of time with her people. She would be a wonderful companion for hikes and other adventures, but she is equally content staying home and cuddling with her favorite person. With her ridiculously cute satellite ears, affectionate nature, easygoing energy, and loyal heart, Lila has everything you could want in a best friend. Whether you are looking for a hiking companion, a couch cuddler, or a sweet girl who will love you with her whole heart, Lila is ready to tune those little radar ears directly toward her forever family. We are willing to test Lila Lily with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Adioption Fee:$350Weight:35.6lbsArrival Date:9/14/26Microchip ID#:941010004195020Meet Sheila! Sheila is a super sweet and friendly girl who loves being close to her people! She’s a bit of a Velcro dog and would happily follow you around, then curl up beside you for some quality time. When she’s not snuggling with you, you can usually find her snoozing happily at your feet. Sheila isn’t a big fan of having her nails trimmed, so her future family will want to be patient and gentle while helping her with her pedicures. She also gets a little carsick, so car rides aren’t exactly her favorite adventure. Sheila has lived around goats, chickens, and cows, but she was never left unsupervised with them, so her family should continue to keep that in mind. She may also be happiest as the only animal in the home, where she can soak up all the love for herself!If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who just wants to be by your side, Sheila may be your perfect match. Stop by SafeHaven today and meet this sweet girl!

Story
Meet Ube Sweet, Social, and Ready for a Lifetime of Adventures Breed: Australian Kelpie / Border Collie Mix Gender: Female | Age: 09/14/2025 | Weight: 24 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats ✔️ Personality: Happy | Outgoing | Playful | Adventure-Ready Medical: Not Provided Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Ube is a happy Australian Kelpie/Border Collie mix weighing approximately 24 pounds. She's an outgoing young girl who's ready for adventure and eager to find a family of her own. Ube is friendly with dogs, cats, and children, giving this social girl the potential to fit into many different family situations. With an Australian Kelpie and Collie mix, Ube may inherit a wonderful combination of intelligence, athleticism, affection, playfulness, curiosity, and enthusiasm. These are dogs that often enjoy having something to do and people to do it with. Ube would love a family willing to provide regular walks, playtime, training, enrichment, and opportunities to safely explore new places. At only one year old, she still has plenty to learn, but that also means her adopter gets the wonderful experience of helping shape the dog she'll become. She's ready for hikes and walks, games and training sessions, lazy afternoons after a busy morning—and all the everyday moments that turn a dog into family. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Ube is still a young dog, and continued training will help her become a confident, well-mannered adult. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so her adopter should be prepared to continue working on leash manners, basic commands, recall, household boundaries, calm greetings, and house or crate training if needed. An intelligent, adventurous dog needs both physical activity and mental stimulation, so positive-reinforcement training can become an enjoyable part of everyday life together. The 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand her household routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Ube's spay, vaccination, and microchip status were not provided. Her future family should review her medical history with their veterinarian and provide routine wellness exams, vaccinations and boosters as recommended, spaying if not already completed, parasite prevention, dental care, quality nutrition, healthy weight management, grooming, regular exercise, and veterinary treatment whenever necessary. Adoption Information Apply to adopt Ube at: 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. Ube is only one year old, and her whole life is still waiting to happen. She's ready for adventures, playtime, new experiences, and most of all, people she can call her own. Give Ube a lifetime to explore with you, and you'll gain a little adventure partner who's always ready for whatever comes next. September 15, 2026, 10:50 am

Meet Blue Moon Outgoing, Adventurous, and Ready to Shine in Her Forever Home Breed: Australian Kelpie / Flat-Coated Retriever Mix Gender: Female | Age: 09/14/2025 | Weight: 28 lbs (small medium) Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats ✔️ Personality: Outgoing | ☀️ Happy | Playful | Adventurous Medical: Not Provided Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Blue Moon is a beautiful Australian Kelpie/Border Collie mix weighing approximately 28 pounds. She's a happy, outgoing girl who's ready for adventure and looking for a family excited to experience life with her. Blue Moon is friendly with dogs, cats, and children. She's a social young dog with the potential to fit beautifully into a home that will give her companionship, activity, structure, and plenty of love. Australian Kelpies are often bright, athletic, alert, and highly trainable, while Collies are often known for their cheerful, outgoing, affectionate personalities. As a mix, Blue Moon may share traits from both sides. At only one year old, she's still developing physically and emotionally. Regular walks, playtime, training, enrichment, sniffing and exploring opportunities, and age-appropriate adventures can help channel her youthful energy in positive ways. Blue Moon isn't looking for a life spent watching everything happen from the sidelines. She wants to be part of it. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Blue Moon will benefit from continued positive-reinforcement training as she matures. Her adopter should be prepared to work on basic commands, leash manners, recall, household boundaries, calm greetings, and house or crate training as needed. Mental exercise is especially valuable for intelligent, active dogs. Short training sessions, puzzle toys, scent games, and learning new skills can be just as important as physical exercise. The 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand her new routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Blue Moon's spay, vaccination, and microchip status were not provided.
