About Ozzy

Hi, Im Ozzy although some of you may remember me as Orbot. I changed my name because I wanted to be introduced a second time around as a different dog. Im so grateful to MiracleLane for giving me that second chance. As you might notice, Im a senior gentleman. My face may be a little sugary and I do grunt like an old man from time to time, but if you dangle a stuffed toy in front of me, I instantly turn back into a puppy! My journey hasnt been the easiest. I ended up in the shelter twice, but my amazing foster mom saved me both times, and Im incredibly thankful for her Because of her, I finally get to thrive in a warm, loving home where I can burn some energy and then happily fall asleep right after! Im a smart boy and I love showing off my tricks! If you have treats, Im extra motivated, but Ill perform even without them. I can sit, give you both of my front paws when you say give me paw, and when you say down, I lay on my backside with my paws up. If you say UP! Ill stand on two legs like Im reaching for the stars. Im also a good little protector Ill let you know with a growl or bark if someone knocks at the door so you stay aware and safe. House manners? Ive got them! Im a quick bathroom breaker I like to do my business and head right back inside. When the weather is nice, I enjoy long walks or playtime in quieter areas. As an older pup, exercise is still important for me. Busy areas arent really my thing. I prefer calmer places to walk. I might react to a street cat running by, and I can get curious about other dogs. If another dog is reactive, I might react too, so for now its best to guide me in another direction. My foster mom is helping me learn to ignore those distractions. Im crate trained and spend a lot of my day there because its my comfort space. As for snacks Im not a fan of peanut butter or apples. But I love boiled chicken, carrots, and potatoes (both regular and sweet). Im also a big fan of flavored wet treats, especially in a stuffed Kong. Puzzle toys with treats are great too they keep my brain busy, and I try my best to solve them, especially with a little encouragement. When its playtime, I love tug-of-war and fetch. After a good play session, Im usually ready for a nap on the floor or a cozy rest in my crate. Right now I live with some funny-looking cats with no hair (my foster mom calls them Sphynx cats). After a slow introduction, we get along pretty well! Honestly, I dont ask for much just a loving home. Id be happiest spending time with my people. If you work from home or are busy around the house, thats okay too. Im very patient and happy just being near you. My foster mom is also helping me practice being home alone, and she says Im doing a great job so far. If youre willing to give me a chance, I promise to be a wonderful companion. The transition might take a little patience and consistency, but if you give that to me, Ill give you my whole heart in return!
