About Mozzi

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Mozzi is a lively, loyal, and trainable 3-year-old cattle dog/pointer mix who weighs about 77 pounds. Always up for adventure, Mozzi is just as happy joining you for car rides or neighborhood walks as he is relaxing at your side. His friendly personality shines with people of all ages, and he enjoys the company of other dogs as well. Mozzi knows several commands—"heel," "sit," "shake," and "lie down"—and is making great progress walking politely on leash thanks to his strong food motivation. Crate trained and house trained, he handles outings in public settings with enthusiasm. While he hasn't met cats yet, a slow introduction could be successful. Mozzi's excitement sometimes leads to playful "air bites," a harmless and common trait in herding breeds. He would thrive in a home that can provide a moderate level of daily activity, a secure fenced yard (6 ft required), and a structured routine to continue his training. Mozzi is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to become your loyal sidekick. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
