and is not a binding contract. To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our Adoption Process page on our website at .rescuecrew. Meet Ozzie He is adorable and affectionate. He loves to be with his people! As a matter of fact, he will follow you wherever you go once he gets to know you. He seems to have a uncertain past. He is fearful of new people and situations. His bark can be intense but if you give him time, space and slow intros, he becomes your friend. Once he trusts, he doesn't ever want you to leave. He will try to go with you out the door and he is not a friend of closed doors, gates, or kennels. He has learned to escape most fences and gates. He needs a leash outside even with a fenced yard. He climbs right over the chain link. ( a privacy fence may contain him if he can't go under) The good thing, Ozzie comes back when you call him. Ozzie loves to sleep next to his person. He is a great cuddle bug. He needs time with new people and situations and practice to feel secure. He is potty trained. We do not have children or cats in his foster home. He gets along great with our small dogs. I'm not sure how he does with bigger dogs. He does best when his people are home more often than not. Based on his fear of new people, he would do best with older respectful children that give him time and space to get aquainted. Ozzie already knows how to sit and walk on a leash. If you are willing to help him overcome his fears with patience and slow intros, Ozzie will be your best forever friend.
