My story

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


I got Ozzy when he was a puppy, he is 5 years old now. I got him off facebook and they told me he was a border collie, but I did a DNA test, and he really is a super mutt. He has a little bit of every herding/working dog imaginable in him. So, he’s happiest when all of his favorite people are together in one room. He’s also a pretty smart and can solve higher-level dog puzzles and enjoys mental stimulation. Ozzy requires a very experienced new owner. He is afraid of new people but once he gets to know you and trust you, he is incredibly loyal and affectionate. He can be very vocal and reactive in busy environments, especially at people walking by the door and while on walks. He needs an owner that understands and is willing to work with a reactive dog. He is getting more anxious and reactive in my apartment and all progress we have gained has been lost. He needs to be in a quite environment with no kids, and no other dogs (he is food aggressive). He is currently prescribed trazadone.
