My story

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

Ozzy is the sweetest silly man anyone could want! His two favorite things to do are to play fetch and chase his tail! If he needs to get out some zoomies, his go-to is to play fetch. However, when that option is not available, chasing his tail as quick as he can is the next best thing! And he will holler if he cannot chase it fast enough. Once he has spent some of that energy, he will plop down on the floor to cool off or cuddle up on the couch to warm up your feet.

Ozzy is house and crate trained. He knows the commands sit, stay, down, drop it/leave it, come, and bring your toy. He is VERY intelligent and understands what you ask of him, so it is very possible to teach him even more commands. He is also great at communicating his needs. So, anyone old enough to learn, understand, and respect his cues, will make a great companion for him.

Ozzy dreams of having a back yard and being spoiled by his future parents. He definitely has the potential to live with older kiddos. He is a strong chewer, but thankfully he sticks to his toys... and sometimes his bed. Ozzy is very active and energetic! He cannot wait to meet and play with you!
