OZZIE - BEAGLE DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle. Adoption Fee: $200. Do you want the happiest, cutest, senior beagle boy ever? Meet Ozzie, he is an 11-year-old male, 32lbs adoptable beagle. He is Heartworm negative and ready to go to his forever home. Ozzie is so happy, he loves getting pets, attention, and cuddles on the couch. He is house-trained and will tell you when he needs to go outside by standing at the door. Ozzie's only quirk is that he is a little overweight and has arthritis, but with a proper diet, a little exercise, and some joint vitamins, he'll be in tip-top shape. Besides getting love, Ozzie's favorite thing to do is sleep. He probably sleeps 15 hours a day. He gets along with all dogs, but cats are unknown, since Ozzie moves a little slower; any cat will easily be able to outrun him. Ozzie has gotten along with every dog he meets. If another dog barks, growls, or snaps at Ozzie, he does not retaliate; he backs away to give the other dog space. We do recommend feeding him away from other dogs at first to see how he fits in with his new family. Ozzie knows his name and comes when he's called. Ozzie was abandoned by his previous owner, so he does have some separation anxiety. He does not destroy anything, but he does bark and howl once you leave the house. He probably wouldn't be good in an apartment due to his barking. Ozzie cannot climb stairs. He can't even climb the little 3-step foam stairs to get on the couch. His foster parents need to pick him up to put him on the couch if he wants. But he's also perfectly happy sleeping in a dog bed next to you. Ozzie would love to be by your side 24/7, but that's not realistic. Just know he will bark when you leave until he tires himself out and falls asleep. He is not too curious and not looking for trouble, just looking for his new best friend. We hope that's you (you must live in the state of Florida to adopt Ozzie). Adopters age 65 and over who adopt senior dogs pay a special adoption fee of $100 for ages 8-11 years and $75 for 12 years or older
