Ozzy - Boxer and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Traverse City, Michigan

Meet Ozzy!

Ozzy is a big, lovable guy with an even bigger heart! This young adult boy is friendly, social, and absolutely loves his people. He may be strong and can get excited during playtime, but he’s also able to settle down and relax when the fun is over.

Ozzy is a sniffing superstar and loves putting his nose to work. Give him a snuffle mat or another enrichment activity, and he’s one happy pup! He’s also a big fan of treats, which will come in handy as he works on his basic training. He already knows "sit" and is ready to learn more.

Ozzy isn’t particularly interested in toys (at least not the ones we’ve offered him), but he has plenty of other ways to have fun. With his sweet nature and playful personality, Ozzy could make a wonderful companion for a family ready to help him continue learning and growing. He may have potential to live with dogs or cats with proper introductions and would do best with mature kids who can handle his size and strength.

If you’re looking for a gentle, goofy, treat-loving guy who just wants to be your best friend, Ozzy is ready to meet you!

Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
