Meet Ozzy!

At just 8 months old and 53 pounds, Ozzy is officially neutered, ready for adoption, and accepting applications for his forever family.

Ozzy is what we like to call a well-rounded young man. He has plenty of puppy energy when it's time to play, but he's also a firm believer in the importance of a good nap. Work hard, nap hard, that's Ozzy's motto.

One of Ozzy's favorite activities is joining our play groups. He loves making new dog friends and does an excellent job matching the play style of the dogs around him. Whether it's a game of chase, some friendly wrestling, or just hanging out and socializing, Ozzy is happy to join in. He's also a big fan of his human friends and enjoys soaking up attention wherever he goes.

Now, we do need to discuss one of Ozzy's special talents.
If there is a mud puddle within a five-mile radius, Ozzy will find it.
Not only will he find it, but he will personally inspect it, step in it, splash through it, and ensure it is molded into the perfect Ozzy-shaped lounging spot. Why settle for a dog bed when Mother Nature provides one for free?

Ozzy is looking for an active family that is ready for all the fun, laughter, and occasional muddy paw prints that come with raising a young dog. He has a wonderful personality, a social nature, and a bright future ahead of him.

If you're looking for a dog that can keep up with your adventures, make friends wherever he goes, and remind you not to take life too seriously, Ozzy might just be your guy.

Come meet Ozzy... you bring the treats, he'll find the mud puddles.
