OZZY - GREAT PYRENEES (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (medium coat). Meet Ozzy! This sweet, derpy boy was born around mid-July 2024. On the small side, he weighs a healthy 60 pounds and is 32 inches tall. He has lots of energy and is super friendly to everyone and everything, even cats! We haven’t seen him with children, but we think he would be fine. He does like to jump in his excitement, so we need to be careful around small kids or very elderly folks who he might accidentally scratch or knock over. Ozzy’s journey is a testament to his resilience. Rescued from a local shelter, he arrived with extensive mats, fleas, flea scabs, and missing tooth enamel, likely due to a past battle of distemper. Although he carries the shadows of his past, Ozzy is well on the path to healing. Within a month of grooming and love in his foster home, he blossomed into the family dog he always wanted to be. His happy place is climbing into your lap and cuddling with you on the couch. He doesn’t like to spend too much time outside because he doesn’t want to miss a moment of pampered life. Ozzy says that he must have toys in his forever home and that this is non-negotiable. He finds joy in playing with squeaky toys. His forever home also must have another dog that will play and run with him. He finds comfort in their presence and interaction. Without a playful doggy buddy, Ozzy becomes anxious and restless. A lazy senior dog will not do. Ozzy is fully house trained. Because he still has some street-dog habits, he likes to mark new spaces, so we suggest he wear a doggy diaper for the first day in his new home. After the initial day, he doesn’t mark inside. He is leash trained. He rides nicely in a car when he is belted. Without his seatbelt, he climbs all over the vehicle. Ozzy barks a little when he is outside. He loves having lots of freedom of movement indoors and outdoors. He will do best in a home where he does not have to be crated. When he is confined in such a way, he gets anxiety, needs medication, and barks until he is hoarse. He needs lots of open space in his new home. Handsome Ozzy sometimes requires patience with new experiences. In his foster home, he continues growing and taking on new experiences daily. He will require patience from his new family while he initially settles in. Ozzy now searches for his forever family who will continue to support his sweet heart and trusting spirit.
