Meet Ozzy, the delightful 10-year-old black Lab mix, and let me tell you—a star is born! 🌟 This handsome 90-lb gentle giant is on a journey to find his forever home, and he’s looking for a special person who understands the beauty of patience and love. Ozzy's past hasn’t always been easy. After being rescued six years ago from a local shelter, he’s had to overcome some challenges stemming from abuse—and he’s done it with such grace! While he was once a timid soul who cowered in corners, he’s blossomed into a sweet boy who just needs a little extra love and space to feel confident in new situations. Imagine how good it'll feel to watch him thrive in a loving environment! 😊 This charming fellow loves being around his canine friends and, trust me, his spatial awareness is something to relish! He doesn’t bark much... well, except when squirrels dare to invade his territory! 🐿️ His playfulness shines when he's with other dogs, and he's great at sharing resources, whether it’s food or water! Ozzy can thrive in a calm home, preferably with another gentle dog to help boost his confidence. Now, let’s talk about this lovable boy's quirks. You see, he’s quite the expert in finding cozy spots to hang out! He’ll follow you around, longing to be by your side, but when new people come around, he might initially go shy. With a little encouragement, however, he quickly realizes they come in peace! 🕊️ Want to add a touch of sweet companionship and laughter to your life? Your heart will melt when you see Ozzy bask in the joy of those little moments—like dashing up stairs just because he can or joining in for a leisurely stroll. 🚶‍♂️ Plus, he’s house-trained and knows how to use a doggy door—what a bonus! His former family mentioned he enjoys treats, so get ready for some delightful, treat-filled bonding time! 🍖 Here's the deal: Ozzy is a special case and would flourish best in a quiet, adult-only home. Young kids might overwhelm him, which is why a chill environment is key to his happiness. 🏡 Just think of the lovely moments to come, from snuggling on the couch to enjoying peaceful walks! Now, here’s the scoop—Ozzy is currently hanging out in Walnut Creek and he is ready to share his love with you!
