Ozzy♂

About

Meet Ozzy! Ozzy appears to be a microbully and is about three years old. Ozzy being cute as can be is an understatement, he is a lot of personality in his little body! He is also a complete velcro dog that wants to be with people. He will play with toys, lay next to you, or contently chew a bone. He is working on his leash skills, however, he is easily excited and pulls on the leash. Further, he thinks he is a Walmart greeter for any situation that involves meeting people, as you know, everyone is here to visit Ozzy in Ozzy's world. Ozzy was in a home, however was returned after a bite incident. It is reported that while sleeping, he was startled and bit the person laying with him in the face. While in foster, it has become clear that Ozzy sleeps very soundly, "out cold". He is easily startled awake when in a deep sleep - therefore his foster has made sure to verbally wake him before touching him. He also sleeps in his crate over night without issue. Ozzy can be very bossy and wants to be in control. However, he has responded well when advised he is not the boss, and there are rules and boundaries he needs to follow. He tends to test everyone to see who will make him listen, so it is important that you can stand your ground. Nothing crazy, just asking him to sit and wait until your ready to go out the door, waiting for his meal, and removing him from the furniture when he is acting foolish. All these little things and more add up to a more respectful relationship, rather than Ozzy being a little dictator. Training classes would probably be a HUGE bonus to help him bond with his new people and have added structure. Ozzy has a lot of love and energy to share with his people. With the nice weather Ozzy has enjoyed lots of outings, including to the local farm markets and has been great with everyone he meets, people and dogs. The love and excitement he has when he sees his favorite people shows, and despite him being a stubborn, bossy bully at times, he is mostly a small, compact, larger than life lovebug! ► We do not adopt to Canada due to border restrictions and breed-specific legislation ► We adopt & foster locally only ; within an approximately 55 mile radius of Lockport, NY 14094 USA Adoption donation includes Spay/Neuter, Vaccinations, deworming & flea treatment.
