Ozzie is a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a big personality, a big heart, and a fluffy tail that never stops wagging. He loves people, enjoys attention, and will gladly be your playful shadow.
Ozzie knows basic commands, wrestles happily with friendly dogs, and is an expert at fetch—especially catching toys out of the air. He can be protective of his high-value items (toys, treats, food), so a home familiar with resource guarding would be best.
He’s kennel trained, very well-behaved when left alone, and thrives on play and connection.
Ozzie and his brother Bowie grew up together, play beautifully together, and truly enjoy each other’s company. They would love to be adopted together, but it isn’t required—they can also succeed independently in homes suited to their needs.
Ozzie’s Ideal Home:
✔ Adults or families who understand resource guarding
✔ A playful home ready for fetch, fun, and training
✔ A friendly dog companion—preferably not toy-possessive
✔ Could be adopted with his brother Bowie or independently
If you want a fun, affectionate dog who will keep you smiling, Ozzie just might be your perfect match. 🖤🐾
