Ozzy - Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Monticello, Iowa

Ozzy is a confident, adventurous boy with a goofy streak that keeps life entertaining. This handsome guy loves being out and about, exploring the world around him and keeping an eye on everything going on. He's intelligent, curious, and independent, but he also has a sweet and gentle side that shines through once he gets comfortable with his people.

Ozzy already knows "sit," takes treats nicely, and enjoys going for walks, though he could still use some continued leash work as he learns better manners and focus. He's an energetic dog who will thrive with daily exercise, structure, and routine to help him be his best self. Ozzy especially enjoys squeaky toys and would love an active home where he can stay mentally and physically engaged.

Ozzy can be selective with other dogs and seems to do better with neutered males than females. He also appears to have a prey drive and enjoys chasing birds, so a secure fenced yard and careful introductions to other animals will be important. Because of his confidence level and personality, an experienced owner who understands boundaries, consistency, and continued training would help him succeed. He has kept his kennel clean and has done well with children ages 7 and older.

With his goofy personality, alert expression, and adorable mix of floppy and pointy ears, Ozzy is full of character and charm. For the right person, he'll make a loyal, fun-loving companion who is always ready for the next adventure.
