Ozzy

How much training will I need?

Can I be left alone?

In his previous home, Ozzy was able to be left alone for extended periods with full access to the house and would settle nicely on the sofa.

As he will now be the only dog in the home, we are unsure how he will cope with being left alone. Any time spent home alone will likely need to be built up gradually from scratch following a settling-in period.

Do I have any medical conditions?

Ozzy has several current medical conditions, including flea bite hypersensitivity, which has caused hair loss; spondylosis; and weakness in his hind legs. He has also had a benign mass removed. These conditions will require consideration before Ozzy is rehomed.

Our rehoming team will be able to provide further information if you apply to rehome Ozzy and are identified as a suitable match.

We also advise that any medical conditions, whether historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet before taking Ozzy home.

Additional information

Ozzy has lived with a female Collie in his previous home, and they coexisted well together. However, Ozzy much prefers human company, and we feel he would be happiest as the only dog in his new home.

Ozzy has also lived with two cats in his previous home. He even let them boss him around and kick him out of his bed! He could live with cats again in his new home, provided that appropriate introductions are carried out.

What kind of family am I looking for?

Ozzy is a happy, friendly boy, but he is also very independent. He will sometimes excitedly pull towards people to greet them, only to be ready to move on after a brief hello. At other times, he doesn’t seem particularly interested in interacting and is happy to do his own thing.

Ozzy lived with children in his previous home and was always very gentle with them. However, he would often take himself away when he had had enough attention. If he were to live with children again, we would recommend a home with children aged 8 years and over who can understand and respect his need for space.

What type of environment would suit me?

Ozzy will require access to a secure, private garden in his new home. He would love a safe outdoor space to call his own, where he can relax, explore, and enjoy spending time with his new family.
