Notes from Ozzie and Friends Rescue Inc

Meet Nino

Male DOB: November 14, 2020 Weight: 48 lbs Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix Neutered (Fixed) Vaccinated Dewormed Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready

Personality, Breed Info & Expectations

Nino is a loving, loyal boy who enjoys companionship, adventure, and spending time with his people. He has a fun personality and especially loves going for walks and riding in the car, making him the perfect companion for someone who enjoys having a dog involved in everyday outings and activities.

He has matured into a wonderful adult dog who enjoys both activity and connection with his humans. Nino thrives when he feels included and part of the family.

As a Pit Bull Terrier mix, Nino may show traits such as loyalty, intelligence, athleticism, and strong emotional connection to his people. Pit Bull Terrier mixes are often known for being affectionate, people-oriented dogs who bond deeply with their families.

Nino does not do well with cats and would do best in a cat-free home. Some dogs naturally have stronger prey-drive tendencies or become overly focused on smaller animals, especially depending on breed traits and past experiences.

Nino would thrive in a home that can provide:

Daily walks and activity

Companionship and inclusion

Structure and consistency

Positive interaction and engagement

He would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal dog who enjoys both adventures and affection.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

Many rescue dogs come from very different backgrounds. Some may have previously lived in homes, while others may have come from the streets, overcrowded shelters, neglect situations, or environments where they had little structure or guidance.

Because of this, most rescue dogs arrive with only basic training at best, and some may have had no formal training at all. Even dogs who appear well-behaved in foster care or at the rescue are still adjusting and learning.

The rescue environment itself also does not always allow for extensive one-on-one training. While we work hard to provide safety, structure, socialization, and basic guidance, adopters should be prepared to continue training and support after adoption.

Nino will benefit from:

Positive reinforcement training

Structure and consistency

Daily exercise and engagement

Patience during adjustment periods

Continued socialization and guidance

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 patience, stability, and commitment, rescue dogs often blossom into deeply loyal lifelong companions.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Owning a dog is a lifelong commitment that includes daily exercise, companionship, routine veterinary care, training, mental stimulation, and financial responsibility.

Nino will need:

Daily walks, exercise, and interaction

Continued training and guidance

Routine wellness exams and preventative veterinary care

A safe, stable, indoor living environment

Consistent veterinary care, proper nutrition, preventative care, and emotional stability are all essential to helping him live a healthy and happy life.

Nino is vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and healthy. He is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.

Adoption Information

If you are interested in adopting this wonderful dog, please complete an adoption application by visiting: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions

Thank you for considering adoption through Ozzie and Friends Rescue, a Los Angeles–based rescue dedicated to giving dogs a second chance at a loving home. Our team carefully reviews every application and will reach out to help match you with the right dog for your home and lifestyle.

You may be seeing our dogs listed in multiple states because we work hard to give as many of our rescue dogs as possible the opportunity to be seen by loving families beyond our local area. While we are based in Los Angeles, we expand our reach throughout the Western United States and the Midwest to help more dogs find the forever homes they deserve.

We understand that transportation and adoption fees can sometimes feel like a big commitment, and we truly appreciate every person who considers opening their heart and home to a rescue dog. Our goal is simply to give these dogs the best chance at being seen, adopted, and loved.

Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe and reliable transport so adopted dogs can travel to their new homes across the Western United States, Canada, and the Midwest.

We can’t wait to help you meet your next fur-ever best friend.
