About Ozzy

Ozzy is a young, neutered Australian Shepherd looking for someone with the space and time to match his energy. At just 10 months old, he’s already house trained and microchipped. Ozzy has spent long hours in a small kennel, which isn’t ideal for an active, intelligent dog like him. He thrives with room to run—a large yard or land is best—and would do well with people who enjoy an active lifestyle. He’s not suited to a small space or being left confined all day. If you’re ready to let Ozzy stretch his legs and give him the stimulation he deserves, he’ll return it with loyalty and energy. As a Leo, born in late July, Ozzy tends to shine as the center of attention and loves to keep the fun going. Give him the open space he craves and a safe, loving home.
