Description

Ozzie (26109, 6 YO M) wants to be loved sooo soo bad. He is very timid and is often startled by new things or quick movements. Unfortunately, due to his fears and his breeding background, he is deemed as a flight risk. While at the vet’s, the poor fella saw his reflection in the windows, freaked out, and tried to bolt. He is also afraid of doorways. He will attach to his person quickly, but needs love and patience as he adjusts to his new life and routines. At the vet’s, Ozzie was neutered and received vaccines, which will need to be boosted.

Foster Updates

October 8, 2026
Ozzie is the sweetest, gentlest boy who is quickly discovering all the fun things life has to offer. He is a little shy when meeting new people, but once he feels comfortable, his goofy, affectionate personality really shines. He loves being near his people and will happily follow you around the house, but he’s also perfectly content finding a quiet spot for a cozy nap. Ozzie is incredibly easygoing, curious, and eager to learn. One of the cutest things about Ozzie is watching him learn from his foster siblings. He spent several hours sitting and watching the dogs play fetch, carefully observing all the fun they were having. Eventually, he decided he wanted to join in and once he figured out the game, he was hooked! Now he absolutely LOVES chasing the ball and being part of the fun. He is still figuring out exactly how to be a playful dog. Ozzie would love a canine sibling who can show him the ropes and help him continue discovering his silly, playful side. Ozzie is also wonderful with cats, enjoys running, and exploring. He’s still learning some of the basics of being a dog and will need a patient family who can continue helping him build confidence. This sweet boy has so much love to give. He is truly a special dog and watching him come out of his shell has been such a joy.
