My personality

My story

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

Meet Ozzy

Approximately 2.5 years old and around 18 pounds.
Very fearful and skittish. He especially doesn't like men.
He appears to have had an abusive past. He’s missing a little piece of his ear, he runs & hides when he sees a broom and is very fearful of loud, sudden noises and movements..

In spite of all of that, Ozzy is a super sweet little guy and will warm up and be completely devoted to you once he trusts you.

He's got a lot of emotional baggage and will probably never be a lap dog. He also likes his own space to retreat to when he's feeling overwhelmed.

Gets along well with other dogs and cats. He loves stuffed animals to play with.

Would do best in a quieter home without children.

He’s definitely worth taking a chance on and spending time getting to know him.

More about this rescue

We have had our non-profit animal rescue since 1998.
We also had an adjoining Spay and Neuter Clinic until June 2024. That was given to a local Veterinarian and we have downsized to just the rescue.
