Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ozzy, our "pandemic puppy" was rescued through Adopt a Pet in August of 2020. The vet estimated that he was about 5-6 months old making him 3.5 years now. Ozzy housetrained quickly and responded very well when we took him for training sessions. He quickly became a member of our family (two kids) and the neighborhood! He's a handsome boy and was eager to meet everyone we ran into on walks, adults, kids and other dogs. He's been to the dog run, on doggy play dates and has been in private dog sitting situations, all without any issue. Unfortunately, several months ago, Ozzy suddenly began displaying unpredictable aggressive behavior towards both strangers and people he has met before. We spoke to his vet and to a trainer, and he is currently taking Prozac, but the issue persists, and we are unable to keep him in our home with kids, friends and family visiting often. Ozzy has never shown aggression to us or our children and is sweet and calm with us all the time, loves companionship.
