Story
Ceasar is a 15mth old altered male kelpie mix 🐶 Ceasar Hey, I’m Ceasar. I’ll be real with you — I’m still figuring this whole “new people” thing out. Meeting strangers makes me nervous, and if I feel cornered, I might snap. But here’s the thing: once I get to know you and trust you, my softer side comes out, and I can relax and be myself. The good news? I get along with dogs way easier than I do with people! 🐕 They help me feel comfortable and confident. With patience, training, and someone willing to go slow, I know I can keep improving just like I did with my foster. If you’re the type of person who believes in second chances and helping an underdog shine, I’d love to be your project pup and, eventually, your best friend. ❤️

Story
2 yr old tricolor M/N Kelpie/GSD mix Looking for a dogs dog?? Gunner is your guy! He was comfortable enough around me, allowed touch, took treats, interacted some with me, but he really really wanted to play with the big dog in the next yard. He wasn't aloof though! Took treats gently, eager to please and loved being called a good boi, it was a fun yard time for both us us He does seem to be feeling the stress from the shelter, some have had some trouble getting him out of his kennel but he was perfectly behaved for me. This is an active breed, he will need consistent physical and mental exercise to be happy, it is likely what is causing his current stress and occasional barrier reactivity. It is worth noting that he was a very loud bork monster when I first approached his kennel but after 3 treats he was ready to follow me anywhere I was going Knows how to sit, walks well on the leash (just a tiny bit of pulling) and seemed potty trained!! ##2528145##

Story
Raven Y2K | The Fluffiest Little Teddy Bear Raven is the kind of puppy who looks like she was made to be cuddled. At just 2 months old, this fluffy little Australian Kelpie mix is basically a tiny living teddy bear—with an all-black coat, an adorable face, and a personality that's every bit as lovable as her looks. Raven is estimated to have been born on June 11, 2026 and is currently approximately 7.8 lbs. As with all rescue puppies, her breed and birthday are our best educated guesses. Watch Raven in action here, then come back to read more! This little girl is playful, affectionate, curious, and wonderfully socialized. Her foster has done an amazing job introducing her to the world, regularly taking her to puppy playgroups and even bringing her along to a couple of puppy Pilates classes! Raven loves playing with the dogs in her foster home and has already learned that life is pretty great when you have furry friends around. She's also completely comfortable around cats. At night, you'll often find this fluffy little girl sleeping alongside her foster's Maine Coon cat. Apparently, Raven has already mastered the important puppy skill of finding the coziest possible sleeping buddy. And then there's Raven herself. She's ridiculously cute. Like, "stop what you're doing because this puppy is too adorable" cute. She's soft and fluffy enough to make you want to bury your face in her fur, and her sweet, affectionate personality makes her even harder to resist. For all her puppy playfulness, Raven also has a lovely ability to settle. After she's gotten her zoomies and playtime out, she's perfectly happy finding a cool spot to relax and recharge. She's that wonderful puppy combination of fun when it's time to play and cuddly when it's time to wind down. Raven is getting a fantastic start to life and is surrounded by people, dogs, and cats who are helping her grow into a confident, well-socialized little companion. Now she just needs a forever family ready to continue the fun and watch this ridiculously fluffy baby grow. If you've been looking for a puppy who looks like a teddy bear, loves everyone she meets, and comes with an entire lifetime of cuddles ahead of her, Raven Y2K is ready to steal your heart!

Story
Meet Lumi ☀️ Male DOB: 2/23/2026  Weight: 24 pounds Breed: Australian Kelpie / Carolina Dog Mix Neutered (Fixed): Pending (Age-Appropriate) Vaccines: Current for Age (Puppy Vaccine Series Ongoing) Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready Personality, Breed Info & Expectations Lumi's story began with a second chance. At just a few months old, he was found wandering the streets alone, searching for food, water, and somewhere safe to sleep. With no family to protect him and no one coming to claim him, this young puppy was left to survive on his own. Thankfully, kind rescuers brought him to Ozzie and Friends Rescue, where he finally experienced a full belly, a warm bed, and the love every puppy deserves. What's truly remarkable about Lumi is that his difficult beginning never stole his joyful spirit. From the day he arrived, his tail has never stopped wagging. He greets every person like an old friend and approaches life with excitement, curiosity, and endless optimism. Lumi is a playful, affectionate puppy who absolutely loves making new friends—both human and canine. He has a silly, adventurous personality and is always ready for the next game of fetch. Toss a ball, and you'll have his full attention! When he's not chasing toys, you'll probably find him splashing in the water. Whether it's a kiddie pool, a lake, or simply bath time, Lumi thinks getting wet is one of life's greatest adventures. As an Australian Kelpie / Carolina Dog Mix, Lumi is expected to grow into an intelligent, athletic, and deeply loyal companion. Australian Kelpies are known for their exceptional intelligence, eagerness to learn, and love of having a job to do, while Carolina Dogs are admired for their adaptability, curiosity, and strong bonds with their families. Together, these breeds create a dog that thrives with an active lifestyle, positive training, and plenty of mental stimulation. Lumi would thrive in a home prepared for: Daily walks, exercise, and outdoor adventures Games of fetch and interactive play Swimming or water play whenever possible Positive reinforcement training Puzzle toys and activities that challenge his mind Continued socialization with people and other dogs Structure, consistency, and routine A lifetime of love, patience, and commitment Lumi has already proven how resilient he is. Now he's simply waiting for the family who will show him that he'll never have to face the world alone again. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Like all puppies, Lumi is still learning about the world around him. His adopter should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, teething, occasional accidents, and testing boundaries as he grows. Because Lumi comes from two highly intelligent and active breeds, early training and continued enrichment will be especially important. He learns quickly and enjoys engaging with people, making him an excellent candidate for obedience training, hiking adventures, scent games, and interactive activities that keep both his body and mind busy. Lumi will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training House-training and a consistent daily routine Daily exercise and supervised play Continued socialization with people, dogs, and new environments Mental enrichment through puzzle toys, scent games, and training Patience, consistency, and encouragement Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 days to decompress 3 weeks to learn your routine 3 months to fully feel at home With love, guidance, and patience, Lumi will grow into an incredible companion who will reward his family with unwavering loyalty and endless affection. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Bringing home a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes training, exercise, companionship, and routine veterinary care. Lumi will need: Completion of his puppy vaccine schedule and routine wellness examinations Neutering when age-appropriate if not already completed Preventative flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite protection Proper nutrition to support healthy growth Daily physical exercise and mental enrichment Continued obedience training and socialization A safe, stable indoor living environment Because Lumi is still growing, strenuous repetitive exercise and excessive jumping should be limited until his joints have fully developed. His family should work closely with their veterinarian to ensure he receives the proper nutrition and preventative care needed throughout puppyhood. Lumi is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.

Story
Meet Biggie!Don’t let the name fool you—Biggie may be medium-sized, but his personality is absolutely larger than life!This adorable Cattle Dog mix (with what we suspect is a healthy dash of Beagle or hound) is full of charm, character, and plenty to say. Biggie is a very talkative guy who loves to “chat” with his people, whether he’s sharing his opinions, announcing that it’s time for a walk, or simply joining the conversation. His happy hound-like voice is just one of the many things that makes him so special.Biggie absolutely loves people and is always ready to make a new friend. He’s affectionate, fun-loving, and enjoys soaking up attention from everyone he meets. He also gets along well with most other dogs, making him a great companion for many canine friends.Like any clever Cattle Dog mix, Biggie is smart and curious—and he can occasionally put those talents to work as a bit of an escape artist! Because of this, he’ll need a securely fenced yard or a family committed to keeping him safely on leash during walks and adventures. Once he’s safely by your side, he’s happiest exploring the world with his favorite people.If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with endless personality, a goofy sense of humor, and lots of love to give, Biggie just might be your perfect match. He’ll keep you smiling, keep you entertained, and most importantly, keep your heart full.Due to COVID-19, we are currently only open by appointment.
