Meet Ozzie! This Labrador Retriever and Border Collie mix has plenty of heart and a true love for both dogs and cats. At 8 years old, Ozzie still brings a younger dog’s spark and eagerness to play, but shows a deep gentleness that fits well with families of all ages. He is remarkably affectionate and seems to have never met a stranger, animal or human, he didn’t like. Ozzie’s biggest challenge comes with storms. He has storm phobia, which he’s working through with the help of a trainer. Regular exercise keeps him feeling his best, so active playtime and daily walks are important. When the skies get rough, Ozzie needs to be near his person or in a setting like daycare, where he feels safe. Future adopters will be able to coordinate with Ozzie’s trainer to learn how to best support him through his fears and set him up for long-term peace of mind. If you want a dog who’s loyal, social, dog- and cat-friendly, and still up for adventure, Ozzie is ready to bring a lot of love into your home. He’s looking for a family prepared to walk with him through his anxieties and give him the steady companionship he deserves. Click apply to start the adoption process.
