Ozzy - Adoption Pending!
Meet Ozzy – the boy who's finally discovering what it means to be loved. ❤️
For the first two years of his life, Ozzy didn't know the comfort of a warm couch or the joy of being part of everyday family life. He spent his days outside on a chain with a family in Louisiana. They shared that he was wonderful with their children, but when a third baby arrived, they made the decision to give him up. Now Ozzy has a second chance—and he's making the most of every kind word, gentle touch, and belly rub!
This handsome, long-legged boy is about 2 years old and currently weighs 59 pounds, though he'd love to fill out to around 70 pounds. Every day, his goofy, affectionate personality shines a little brighter. Ozzy absolutely adores people. In fact, he's so thrilled to have human attention that he sometimes forgets his manners and tries to "hug" you by wrapping his front legs around you. It's not bad behavior—it's simply the sweetest dog who's making up for lost time. With consistent training, he's already learning that four paws on the floor earn him all the love he could want.
Ozzy is smart, eager to please, and loves being told he's a good boy. He sits politely for treats, takes them gently, walks nicely on a leash and happily returns to his kennel when asked. His kennel stays clean, a good sign he is house-broken, and he enjoys having a blanket and a few toys to call his own. He has that perfect young-dog energy—happy zoomies one minute, then content to sit quietly beside you soaking up pets and affection the next. Watching him romp around the yard is pure joy, but what melts your heart is how often he checks back in with his person, just to make sure you're still there.
Ozzy gets along well with the dogs he's met and has shown no signs of aggression. He'd likely enjoy a canine companion, but he'd also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only best friend. His cat compatibility is still unknown.
Ozzy would thrive with an active family willing to continue his training and give him the life he's always deserved. A fenced yard, regular walks or jogs, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection would make him one very happy boy. And if you catch him splashing in his water bowl, don't be surprised so maybe swimming opportunities would be on Ozzy's wish list too. Most of all, he's looking for someone who will never leave him behind again.
After spending the beginning of his life on the end of a chain, Ozzy is ready to spend the rest of it attached to your heart. Could you be the family that finally shows this sweet, affectionate boy what "forever" truly means?
Ozzy has been brought up-to-date on vaccinations, is microchipped, neutered, and heartworm negative. He has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. If you're ready for a loyal companion who's as sweet as he is handsome, Ozzy is waiting to meet you!
Ozzy will be ready to travel north in mid September to be adopted. Please contact Cheryl if you are approved to adopt through SGRR. If not yet approved, please fill out an application.
Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to continue the rehabilitation we have begun.
