About Ozzy
Ozzy—sometimes called Sir Oinks-a-lot—has carved out a niche as the resident nap master, and he wears his age and quirkiness with real ease. Think grandpa wisdom, a teenager’s dedication to sleep, and the odd walrus impression thrown in for color. No one’s quite sure of his precise mix, but the result is a lovable, goofy, unmistakably unique dog. At 9 years old, Ozzy is deaf, which seems to suit him fine; he’s tuned out the noise and prefers clear hand signals, his own brand of telepathy, and a relaxed household rhythm. He’s already house and crate trained, is never destructive, and loves a slow stroll as much as his long naps in the sun. Mornings irritate him, chaos isn’t his thing, and he lives for cozy heaters, a soft bed, and snacks delivered on time. His personality is mellow, affectionate, and a bit comedic. He’s gentle, a touch clumsy, and those funny little grunts and mutterings fill a room with life. After coming through a tough winter outside and bouncing back with care and patience, Ozzy is now just hoping for a home that values his slow pace and warm, steady companionship. He gets along well with other dogs and children and asks for little more than a quiet spot by your side. With his sun sign in Aries, expect him to bring a gentle confidence to the house—a leader by softness. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
