Get to Know Ozzy

Ozzy is looking for a home that has the skills and time to work with him consistently to help him to be his best. He is a cute little guy who will bring a smile to your face every single day. Ozzy was diagnosed with a patellar luxation on his left hind leg that is intermittent. His veterinarian says it will improve over time with regular turnout but won’t resolve entirely. We encourage you to seek more information about this condition and discuss it with your vet prior to adopting.

Ozzy has done a great job with teen/pre-teen volunteers but would likely not be ideal for extremely young or inexperienced children.
