Story
1 year old (estimated) Neutered Male  45 lbs. Has done well with other dogs at the shelter  No known experience with cats or kids Buggy is the sweetest adventurer you’ll ever meet! He walks beautifully on leash, staying right by your side like a true gentleman. Friendly with both people and other dogs, he greets everyone with a happy tail wag and bright, curious eyes—especially his one stunning blue eye that makes him extra unforgettable. Buggy absolutely loves going on adventures, whether it’s a stroll through the neighborhood or exploring a new trail, and he can’t resist stopping to sniff all the exciting new smells along the way. With his loving personality and zest for discovery, Buggy makes every outing a joyful experience. The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.  March 10, 2026, 2:56 pm

Story
An experienced and/or diligent owner is needed due to him getting into fights with the dog he currently lives with. I will be meeting with any potential adopter to make sure they are responsible and the right fit. NO OTHER PETS SHOULD BE IN OZZY'S NEW HOME. More information below👇 Name: Ozzy Age: ~ 2 years old Breed: Pitbull Weight: 65 lbs Sex: Male (neutered) Allergies: Chicken NOTE: has been living with kids ranging from 10 y.o. to 17 y.o - unsure of how he is around younger kids as he has not been around them. Crate trained: yes, but he might need a refresher in his new home. Ozzy stayed with me for a 10 day board and train program where we started ecollar training. This ecollar would be sent with him to his new owner/family. I am happy to go over this training with Ozzy's new owner/family. Contact me if you are interested in this sweet boy who thrives with the right guidance, structure and love.
