About Ozzy
Ozzy is a clever and adventurous dog with a confident attitude and a goofy side that makes every day interesting. He’s always up for exploring, staying alert to his surroundings, but he’s got a gentle and sweet side for those he trusts. Ozzy already knows how to sit and is respectful when taking treats. He enjoys walks, but still needs someone patient to fine-tune his leash manners and focus. He’s full of energy and does best with a daily routine and active lifestyle, especially with squeaky toys and plenty of mental challenges. Ozzy can be picky around other dogs—he tends to do better with neutered males—and he has a chase instinct, especially with birds. He needs a secure fenced yard and careful introductions if there are other animals in the home. Ozzy could use an experienced owner who understands firm boundaries, consistency, and ongoing training. He has a good track record keeping his kennel clean and has done well with children ages 7 and up. With his mix of floppy and pointy ears and watchful expression, he stands out for both character and charm. For the right adopter, he’ll be a loyal, adventurous companion who’s always in for the next caper. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
