About Ozzy
Ozzy is a confident adventurer with a delightful goofy side that adds humor to everyday life. He loves to explore his surroundings, always keeping an eye on what's happening around him. Intelligent and curious, Ozzy showcases an independent spirit but also reveals a gentle sweetness once he feels comfortable with those around him. He already knows how to sit, takes treats politely, and enjoys his walks, though a bit more practice on the leash will help him refine his manners. Energetic by nature, he thrives on daily exercise, structure, and routine. Ozzy particularly enjoys squeaky toys and would do best in an active home that can keep him mentally and physically stimulated. Socially, Ozzy tends to be selective with dogs and favors neutered males over females. His prey drive means he loves to chase birds, so having a secure, fenced yard is essential, along with gradual introductions to other pets. Because of his confident personality, he would benefit from an experienced owner who prioritizes clear boundaries and ongoing training. He has kept his kennel clean and gets along well with children aged 7 and older. With his charming personality and unique mix of floppy and pointy ears, Ozzy is full of character. He's ready to be a loyal, fun-loving companion for the right person, always up for the next adventure.
