Meet Ozzie! This beautiful 4 year old shepherd is looking for his forever home after the only family he's known his entire life had to give him up as they even threatened to euthanize this sweet boy!!
Ozzie is doing so great currently in foster care! He is very well mannered and clearly had training, he knows commands very well! His recall is a bit hard to test since in true Shepherd Velcro dog fashion he never strays far from his person and will come back to your side just by saying his name. He is pretty amazing! Also completely non destructive! He loves toys and stuffed animals but won't shred them!
Ozzie's favorite is playing catch and tug of war. If you aren't playing with him he will just lay and wait somewhere without complaining. No separation anxiety! Ozzie is also 100% housebroken and non reactive to some of his current rude and loud foster siblings. He'll just ignore them even if they bark at him when he walks by. He also gets along well with smaller dogs but due to his size (about 80 lbs) and playfulness we would recommend them to be 'sturdy' and maybe at least 35 pounds. He would do great as an only dog also, he doesn't mind other dogs but just isn't all that interested in playing with them much, he prefers to play with two legged friends if given a choice.
Ozzie's ideal forever home would not have a lot of foot traffic, not many people in and out of the house constantly as it takes him a minute to warm up to strangers. He will be protective of his home and his family and will need to be properly introduced to visitors. He's not a dog that will just greet everyone happily at the front door.
Ozzie isn't very high energy, but he would love a yard to play fetch in. He walks very well on a leash and isn't reactive to dogs or people outside the house, unless they invade his space.
Breed experience and/or common sense as well as a few meet and greets will be necessary if you are interested in adopting this great boy! He supposedly is good with cats based on what his prior "family" reported but this hasn't been able to be confirmed since he entered rescue.
