About Ozzy

Meet Ozzy, a delightful and affectionate two-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd weighing in at twenty pounds. He's not just charming; he's always ready to spread joy wherever he goes, eager for pets and loving attention from everyone he meets. Ozzy is great with dogs of all sizes and thrives in a social environment. His bravery and curiosity keep him unfazed by city life. Potty trained and crate trained, he walks nicely on a leash and knows how to sit. His eagerness to please makes training a breeze. He’s content being alone for short periods and treasures human company just as much. With moderate energy, Ozzy enjoys walks and playing fetch with his toys but equally loves snuggling on the couch. He'll proudly trot over with his favorite toy to share in a moment of play or affection. Ideal for an active household or one that enjoys a cozy cuddle buddy, he’s perfect for apartment living. His foster sums it up well: “Ozzy is such a special dog. He yearns for love, attention, and a family to call his own. If you’re looking for laughter, adventure, and companionship, Ozzy is your guy!” Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
