Mozzie is 7-1/2yo, weighs 56lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, but is not microchipped. Mozzie's guardian adds:
"Mozzie is an outstanding little love bug. He is always smiling. H e loves adults and would be happy to cuddle all day long. He is a joyous goofball when he wants to play and listens very well to commands. He always wants to be right by your side and protect his owner. Everyone that meets him immediately falls in love with is friendly personality. I never have trouble introducing him to houseguests. When he goes outside to go potty he does his business quickly! Mozzie is alone 8 hours/day and sleeps in a bed or in his crate at night. He knows 'no', 'off', 'move', back up', 'sit', 'stay', 'night night' (go to crate), 'lay down', 'come here', 'closer'. He dislikes/fears the sounds of keys and loud vehicles passing by. He free roams the house during the day or is locked in a crate. He has a habit of eating underwear, so if there is any reason dirty laundry or trash cannot be kept behind a closed door he would be in the crate. He rides fabulously in the car!"
Mozzie's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "Behavioral issues, he nipped a child."
Bite/Lunge Incident: On 30 May 2024, Mozzie nipped his guardian's boyfriend's child; the bite broke the skin; animal control was not involved. Mozzie's guardian explains: "He was being introduced to the child, he was happy and wagging his tail. He then stopped to lunge and bite her with no warning."
Mozzie's guardian states the following regarding children: Mozzie hasn't lived with children, but during his only visit and introduction to a child, he bit, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with children.
Mozzie's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Mozzie has lived with a dog, but his guardian doesn't recommend his living with dogs, stating "He barks, whines, lunges, pulls on leash, will bit a dog".
Mozzie's guardian states the following regarding cats: Mozzie has lived with cats, so his guardian recommends his living with cats, stating "He is very excited about cats but can be introduced and live peacefully with a cat. When he sees a cat outside he will whine and bark and try to get to the cat".
Mozzie's guardian describes him as:
Barks some
Moderately active
Playful
Friendly
Likes to be touched
Fearful
Affectionate
Nervous
Always at your side
House-trained
Leash-trained
Crate-trained
Indoor pet
Outdoor pet
Likes men
Likes women
Mozzie's guardian describes his ideal future home: " My ideal home for him would be someone with a fenced yard, but it is not required. Someone who is experienced with reactive dogs and can help him overcome his nervousness. I do believe he reacts out of fear. Someone who has time to play with him. Someone with no children or other pets, cats are okay, he has never bitten a cat but the introduction must be done properly over time. I would be overly protective about introducing him to anyone other than adults, who he is extreme friendly and loving with. Someone who likes to go out on adventures, he is a very excited dog and loves to explore the world around him."
