About Ozzy

LOCATION: Conroe, TX DOB: 12/16/2020 Ozzy is a gentle, easygoing soul with the calm presence of an old friend. Quiet, observant, and incredibly relaxed, he hasn't barked once since arriving in foster care. Routine is his comfort zone, and consistency helps him feel safe. Once he understands the rhythm of a home, he settles in beautifully and becomes a steady, peaceful companion. Ozzy's energy level is solidly couch-potato. He prefers cozy days indoors and is happiest lounging nearby under his beloved tortilla blanket, quietly taking in the world around him. A securely fenced yard is plenty for his needs. Walks are still a work in progress as he continues building confidence, and he may refuse if he feels unsure. Affectionate in a gentle, understated way, Ozzy enjoys cuddling with both kids and adults without being overwhelming. He blends seamlessly into family life and offers steady companionship. He loves car rides and is always happy to tag along. Chicken feet and pumpkin treats are his favorites, and food is a great motivator. He can be mildly stubborn at times-if he doesn't want to move, he will stand his ground-but it's more endearing than difficult. Ozzy is fully house trained, crate trained, rides calmly in the car, and is muzzle trained. Leash manners are inconsistent, and patience will be needed as he gains confidence. He can be fearful of thunderstorms, heavy rain, high winds, fireworks, loud noises, nighttime, and unfamiliar environments. During storms or stressful situations, he needs reassurance and a calm person willing to comfort him. He has done well meeting other dogs and was friendly when introduced to a large dog. He currently lives with a cat and has occasionally lunged but has never shown aggression; they largely coexist without issue. Ozzy has been around children of all ages, including toddlers and babies. He has tolerated climbing, pulling, and cuddling with impressive patience. He has given a single warning growl when physically hurt but has never escalated beyond that. He also remains calm when adult strangers enter the home, even unexpectedly. Medically, Ozzy has growths on his elbows, is undergoing heartworm treatment, takes joint supplements, has a front leg limp, is underweight, and is missing his top front row of teeth. Much of his foster time has been focused on healing, and as he continues to feel better, there are likely many simple joys he has yet to experience. Ozzy's ideal home is calm and loving, preferably with adults or one to two children, though he can adapt. He would do best in a low-energy household without stairs, with good lighting and a fully secure fenced yard, as he can be curious about slipping under fencing. He thrives when someone is home often and when he is included in daily life. Above all, Ozzy needs patience, routine, and a family who will cherish his quiet, steady presence. If you are looking for a devoted, low-key companion with a gentle heart, Ozzy is ready to be deeply loved.
