❤️ Personality & Breed Information

Read more about Tacho

Meet Tancho, an adorable 6-year-old Pug with a tender heart, an affectionate personality, and just a little bit of attitude that makes him uniquely lovable!

Tancho is a very sweet, loving, and affectionate boy who enjoys companionship and has so much love to share with his future family. At six years old, he's a mature adult who is ready to enjoy the comforts of a forever home where he can feel safe, appreciated, and cherished.

One of the wonderful things about Tancho is that he has experience living with other dogs, cats, and children. This makes him a promising companion for a variety of households, provided his individual needs and boundaries are respected.

However, Tancho also has a spirited side! While he can live with other dogs, he can occasionally become feisty or confrontational toward larger breeds. His future family should understand this behavior and be prepared to manage interactions carefully.

This doesn't take away from his loving personality. It simply means Tancho needs a family who will recognize his boundaries, supervise introductions, and help him feel comfortable around other dogs.

About the Pug Breed

Pugs are known for their affectionate personalities, charming expressions, loyalty, playful nature, and strong attachment to their families.

Originally bred as companion dogs, Pugs often enjoy spending time close to their people and being included in everyday family activities.

Tancho may share several typical breed characteristics:

Affectionate and devoted: Pugs often form strong bonds with their families and enjoy regular attention.

Friendly and social: Many enjoy interacting with people and participating in household activities.

Playful and entertaining: Pugs are known for their amusing personalities and individual quirks.

Adaptable: They can thrive in apartments or houses when their needs are met.

Occasionally stubborn: Some Pugs have independent personalities and benefit from patient, consistent training.

Moderate exercise needs: Short walks and gentle playtime are generally more appropriate than strenuous activity.

Sensitive to heat: Their shortened muzzles make them especially vulnerable to overheating.

Tancho's combination of affection, maturity, and spirited personality makes him a special little companion.

His ideal family will appreciate his loving nature while understanding that he may need additional guidance and supervision around larger dogs.

Tancho has a gentle heart, a loving spirit, and just enough sass to keep life interesting!

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

At six years old, Tancho is a mature adult who will benefit from a predictable routine, positive reinforcement training, and a peaceful home environment.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house training if needed, leash manners, basic obedience, calm greetings, household boundaries, and appropriate socialization.

Although Tancho is described as affectionate and loving, his occasional confrontational behavior toward larger dogs is an important consideration for his future family.

Living With Other Dogs

Tancho has experience living with other dogs, but he can sometimes become bravucón—feisty, challenging, or confrontational—when interacting with larger breeds.

This behavior does not necessarily mean he cannot live with another dog. However, it does mean his future family should take int

Read more about Larry A

Meet Larry, a handsome 6-month-old Australian Kelpie mix weighing approximately 20 pounds! This young boy has his whole life ahead of him and is searching for a loving family who will help him grow into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted companion.

One of Larry's wonderful qualities is that he lives comfortably around cats, making him a promising candidate for a family with feline companions. He is also considered suitable for homes with dogs and children, with appropriate introductions and supervision.

At just six months old, Larry is entering an exciting stage of puppyhood. He's at an age when young dogs are developing confidence, learning household routines, and discovering the world around them.

About the Australian Kelpie Breed

Australian Kelpies are known for their intelligence, athleticism, loyalty, energy, and strong work ethic. Originally developed as herding dogs, Kelpies are naturally active and often enjoy having activities that challenge both their minds and bodies.

As a Kelpie mix, Larry may develop some of these typical breed characteristics as he matures:

Intelligent and quick to learn: Kelpies often respond well to positive reinforcement training and enjoy learning new skills.

Energetic and athletic: They typically appreciate daily exercise, interactive games, and outdoor activities.

Loyal and attentive: Many form strong bonds with their families and enjoy spending time with their favorite people.

Curious and alert: They often enjoy exploring new environments and participating in family activities.

Mentally active: Puzzle toys, scent games, obedience exercises, and enrichment activities can help prevent boredom.

Because Larry is still growing, his exact adult size cannot yet be determined. His future family should be prepared for a potentially active, medium-sized adult dog who will need regular exercise and mental stimulation.

Larry would benefit from a family that enjoys an active lifestyle and is excited about helping a young dog learn, grow, and become a wonderful lifelong companion.

With the right guidance and a loving home, Larry has the opportunity to become a truly special member of the family.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

At six months old, Larry is still a puppy and will need continued training, patience, and consistency as he develops into adulthood.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on potty training, crate training if desired, leash walking, basic commands, recall, appropriate chewing, calm greetings, household boundaries, and positive socialization.

Because Australian Kelpies are intelligent working dogs, Larry will benefit from training that keeps him mentally engaged.

Short, positive training sessions, interactive toys, supervised outdoor play, and opportunities to practice new skills will help him develop confidence and good manners.

Living With Other Pets

One of Larry's especially appealing qualities is his known compatibility with cats.

Although he has experience living around cats, introductions to new feline companions should still be gradual and supervised. Every animal has a unique personality, and giving everyone time to adjust helps create a peaceful household.

Larry should also continue receiving positive experiences with other dogs, children, unfamiliar people, and new environments.

Because herding breeds may develop instincts to chase or contr

Read more about Valentina Ady

Meet Valentina, a beautiful 2½-year-old Staffy mix weighing approximately 40 pounds, with a gentle spirit, a loving personality, and an incredible story of resilience.

Valentina is more than just a pretty face. She's a survivor of rickettsial disease, and despite the challenges she has experienced, she is described as an exceptionally noble, gentle, and kind-hearted girl.

One of Valentina's most wonderful qualities is her ability to get along with others. She is friendly with dogs, cats, and people, making her a lovely candidate for a family looking for a social and affectionate companion.

Valentina's gentle personality is what makes her truly special. She's the kind of dog who deserves to experience the comfort of a loving home, the security of a consistent routine, and the happiness of knowing she belongs.

About the Staffy Breed

Staffordshire Terrier mixes are often known for their affectionate personalities, loyalty, intelligence, playful nature, and strong bonds with their families.

Many Staffy mixes enjoy spending time with their people and thrive when they receive regular companionship, exercise, mental stimulation, and positive attention.

Although individual personalities vary, these dogs can make wonderful family companions when provided with proper training, socialization, and responsible care.

At approximately 40 pounds, Valentina is a manageable medium-sized dog, though she will still need daily activity, appropriate enrichment, and continued guidance.

Her ideal family will appreciate her gentle nature and be committed to providing the love, stability, and companionship she deserves.

Valentina has already shown how strong she can be. Now it's time for her to experience just how beautiful life can be when she is loved.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

At 2½ years old, Valentina is a young adult dog who has moved beyond the earliest stages of puppyhood, but she will still benefit from continued training, socialization, and a consistent daily routine.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on leash manners, basic obedience, household boundaries, recall, and positive reinforcement training.

Because Valentina is friendly with dogs and cats, she may be a good candidate for a multi-pet household. However, introductions should always be gradual, supervised, and respectful of each animal's comfort level.

Her gentle and social personality is a wonderful foundation for building a trusting relationship with her new family.

Valentina will benefit from daily walks, interactive play, enrichment activities, and plenty of opportunities to relax and spend quality time with her people.

The 3-3-3 Rule

Every rescue dog needs time to adjust to a new environment.

3 Days: Time to decompress, observe her surroundings, and begin feeling safe.

3 Weeks: Time to understand her new household routine, become more comfortable, and build confidence.

3 Months: Time to strengthen her bond with her family, settle into daily life, and begin feeling truly at home.

These are general guidelines rather than strict deadlines. Every dog adjusts at their own pace.

Valentina deserves a family who will allow her to settle in without pressure and give her the patience, consistency, and reassurance she needs.

❤️ Personality & Breed Information

Read more about Dizirella N

Dizirella is an adorable 4-year-old Pug weighing approximately 15 pounds. With her charming little face and compact size, she's ready to find a family who will give her the love, comfort, and companionship every dog deserves.

Pugs are often known for their affectionate, playful, outgoing, and people-loving personalities. They tend to form strong bonds with their families and enjoy being included in everyday activities. Whether it's relaxing on the couch, following their favorite person around the house, or enjoying a little playtime, Pugs often make wonderful companions.

At four years old, Dizirella is a young adult who has moved beyond the early puppy stage while still having plenty of life ahead of her.

She would benefit from a family that enjoys spending quality time with their dog and can provide gentle daily exercise, mental enrichment, positive-reinforcement training, and plenty of companionship.

Because Pugs are a flat-faced breed, Dizirella will also need a family that understands the importance of protecting her from overheating and excessive physical exertion.

With the right home, this little girl has the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful life filled with affection, security, and companionship.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

Like any rescue dog, Dizirella will need time to adjust to her new home, learn her family's routine, and become comfortable with her surroundings.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house manners as needed, leash walking, basic commands, recall, calm greetings, and household boundaries.

Pugs can be clever and food-motivated, making positive-reinforcement training, patience, and consistency especially helpful.

Short, enjoyable training sessions and a predictable daily routine can help Dizirella settle into her new home while strengthening her bond with her family.

The 3-3-3 Rule

3 Days: Time to decompress and begin feeling safe.

3 Weeks: Time to understand her new household routine.

3 Months: Time to build trust, settle in, and begin feeling truly at home.

These are guidelines rather than deadlines. Every rescue dog adjusts at their own pace.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Dizirella's spay, vaccination, and microchip status have not yet been confirmed.

Her adopter should review her available medical records with a veterinarian and determine whether she needs vaccinations, spaying, microchipping, parasite prevention, or other routine veterinary care.

As a Pug, Dizirella has some important breed-specific needs.

Breathing & Heat Sensitivity: Pugs are brachycephalic, meaning their short facial structure can make breathing and temperature regulation more difficult. Dizirella should be kept cool, especially during warm weather, and should never be pushed into strenuous exercise. A veterinarian should assess her breathing and discuss any concerns.

Healthy Weight: Maintaining a healthy body weight is particularly important for Pugs because excess weight can increase breathing difficulties and put additional strain on their joints.

Skin, Eyes & Dental Care: Pugs may require additional attention to facial folds, eye health, and dental hygiene. Regular veterinary examinations can help identify and manage potential concerns.

Her ongoing care should also include quality nutrition, gentle exercise, appropriate grooming, nail care, routine wellness examinations, and veterina

Meet
Dandelion
, a 4-year-old Pit Bull girl and the most adorable chunky little monkey, dressed in a striking dark brindle coat with rich black and brown tones! With her sweet bow-legged front end that gives her just a hint of bulldog, she’s impossible not to love - and even after everything she’s been through, her gentle spirit hasn’t dimmed one bit. Dandelion came in as a stray with a bloody bandage on her leg, which sadly needed to be amputated, but this resilient girl is adapting beautifully and already getting around wonderfully on three legs! She’s been friendly and curious with other pups through the play-yard fence, and she even watched a cat run right past her in the parking lot without so much as a reaction. ❤️ Now Dandelion deserves a soft, safe place where she can continue healing, settle in, and finally experience the loving life she should have had all along. Come give this brave little girl the furever family she’s been waiting for!

❤️ Personality & Breed Information

Read more about Abby

Abby is a beautiful 1-year-old girl weighing approximately 42 pounds with an incredibly loving and gentle personality. She's affectionate, social, and enjoys being around both people and other animals.

Abby gets along with other dogs and cats, making her a wonderful option for a home that already has furry family members. She's also friendly with people and loves receiving affection and being included in everyday life.

One of Abby's favorite things is going for walks on leash. She would love a family who enjoys getting outside and can make regular walks part of their routine. For Abby, those walks aren't just exercise—they're a chance to explore, spend time with her people, and enjoy the world together.

Her breed has not been provided, so rather than guessing based on appearance, she is best described as a mixed breed until more information is available.

At only one year old, Abby is still a young dog with plenty of life ahead of her. Regular exercise, mental enrichment, companionship, and continued positive training will help her thrive.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

Abby's enjoyment of leash walks gives her family a great foundation for continuing her training and building a routine together.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on leash manners, basic commands, recall, house manners as needed, calm greetings, and household boundaries.

Even though Abby is already social with dogs and cats, introductions to new pets should still be done gradually. Giving everyone time and space to become comfortable helps set the household up for success.

Positive reinforcement, consistency, patience, and affection will help Abby understand what's expected of her while strengthening the bond she develops with her new family.

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

These are guidelines rather than strict deadlines. Every dog adjusts at their own pace.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Abby is spayed and vaccinated.

Her future family should continue providing routine veterinary examinations, recommended vaccine boosters, flea and parasite prevention, dental care, quality nutrition, healthy weight management, grooming, nail care, and veterinary treatment whenever necessary.

Regular physical activity will also be important for keeping Abby healthy. Since she already loves her leash walks, maintaining a consistent walking routine is a great way to provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation.

Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats ✔️
Personality: ❤️ Loving | Very Chill | Affectionate | Friendly
Medical: ✔️ Neutered | ✔️ Vaccinations Up to Date
Location: Los Angeles, California
Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States.

❤️ Personality & Breed Information

Read more about Goyo T

Goyo is an adorable Chug mix weighing approximately 21 pounds, and his personality is just as lovable as his little face. He's a very chill, loving boy who is friendly with everyone—including dogs, children, and cats.

Goyo has an easygoing nature and enjoys companionship without needing to make everything complicated. He's the kind of little guy who can happily be part of everyday family life—hanging out with his people, enjoying a leisurely walk, getting some affection, and then settling in nearby to relax.

As a Chug mix, Goyo may share some of the breed's typical qualities. Chugs are often affectionate, social, playful, charming, and strongly attached to their people. Many are happiest simply being included in whatever their family is doing.

Goyo's naturally relaxed personality makes him especially endearing. He doesn't need nonstop excitement to be happy. Love, companionship, comfortable places to relax, and people who enjoy having him around are much more his style.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

Although Goyo is already an adult, every dog needs time to understand a new home and routine.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so his adopter should be prepared to continue reinforcing house manners, leash skills, basic commands, recall, and household boundaries as needed.

His naturally friendly personality is a wonderful foundation, but consistency and positive-reinforcement training will still help him understand what his new family expects from him.

The 3-3-3 Rule

3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe
3 Weeks to understand his new household routine
3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home

These are guidelines rather than deadlines. Even a friendly, easygoing dog like Goyo deserves time to settle in at his own pace.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Goyo is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations.

His future family should continue routine veterinary examinations, recommended vaccine boosters, parasite prevention, dental care, nail care, quality nutrition, healthy weight management, appropriate exercise, and veterinary treatment whenever necessary.

Because Goyo is a French Bulldog mix, his family should also be mindful of possible brachycephalic, or short-nosed, characteristics. Dogs with shorter airways can be more sensitive to heat, humidity, and strenuous exercise.

Goyo should have access to cool indoor spaces and fresh water during warm weather, and his family should watch for excessive panting, overheating, or breathing difficulties. Keeping him at a healthy weight is also particularly important.

Personality: ❤️ Very Loving | Calm | Affectionate | Social with People
Medical: History of Hip Fracture | Spay/Neuter & Vaccination Status: Fixed and current on vaccinations.
Location: Los Angeles, California
Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States.

❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Palomo’s Story

Read more about Palomo GR

Palomo is an 8-year-old West Highland White Terrier mix with a gentle personality and a very simple wish: he just wants to be loved.

He is an incredibly loving and calm boy who enjoys being around people. Palomo also gets along with other dogs and cats, making him a wonderful candidate for a home with other pets.

Palomo has been through a difficult chapter. He previously suffered a fractured hip. His veterinarian recommended rest, and he was given the time he needed to recover. His history doesn't define him, but it is important information for his future family to know so his comfort and mobility can continue to be monitored.

What stands out most about Palomo today isn't what happened to him—it's his temperament. He is peaceful, affectionate, and simply wants love and companionship.

As a West Highland White Terrier mix, Palomo may share traits associated with Westies, including being affectionate, intelligent, curious, loyal, and full of personality. At eight years old, however, Palomo's individual personality is already clear: he's a calm, loving companion looking for a comfortable place to call home.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

Palomo is a senior dog, and his new home should give him a comfortable routine, gentle exercise, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax near his people.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so his family should patiently reinforce any household manners, leash skills, or routines he needs using positive reinforcement.

The 3-3-3 Rule

3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe

3 Weeks to understand his new household routine

3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home

A quiet sleeping area, predictable schedule, comfortable bedding, and patience will help Palomo settle into his new life.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Palomo has a history of a hip fracture, so his future veterinarian should be made aware of the previous injury. Although rest was the treatment recommended at the time, his family should continue monitoring his comfort and mobility as he gets older.

Any limping, stiffness, difficulty getting up, reluctance to walk or jump, signs of pain, or changes in mobility should be evaluated by a veterinarian.

As an 8-year-old dog, Palomo would also benefit from regular senior wellness examinations and any bloodwork his veterinarian recommends. Keeping him at a healthy weight can help reduce unnecessary stress on his hips and joints.

His neuter and vaccination status were not provided and should be confirmed through his medical records.

Bringing a dog home to your cat

Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.

Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
