Story
🐾 Ozzie — The Ultimate Sweetheart, Toy-Loving Entertainer, Cuddle-Bug
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. If you’re willing, he’ll play fetch with you for hours—he lives for it.
Ozzie knows basic commands, wrestles happily with friendly dogs, and is an expert at fetch (especially catching toys mid-air!). He can be protective of his high-value items (toys, treats, food), so a home familiar with managing minor resource guarding would be best.
He’s dog-friendly, previously lived with children, cat-friendly, and has wonderful leash manners. He enjoys his walks and thrives on play and connection. Ozzie also prefers to be with his people—he bonds deeply and can become anxious when left alone too long. Because of this, he will need a secure kennel and a home that understands and can support a dog with some separation anxiety.
Ozzie’s Ideal Home:
✔ Adults or families who love a snuggly, people-oriented dog
✔ Someone home more often than not, or able to help him build confidence when alone
✔ A playful home ready for fetch, fun, and training
✔ A friendly dog companion—preferably not toy-possessive
If you want a fun, affectionate dog who will keep you smiling and always stay close to your side, Ozzie just might be your perfect match. 🖤🐾
