My story

Meet Ozzie! 💙 Ozzie is a blue merle Queensland Heeler mix with striking black and white markings. He is an affectionate and fun, 1 ½ year-old boy who weighs 45 lbs. Ozzie is house, crate and leash trained. He is only crated when his owner runs errands - never more than a couple hours, once a week. Ozzie knows “sit,” “down” and “give paw.” He also rides well in a car. He responds well to having a schedule and requires daily walks. True to his breed, he is very athletic and intelligent. He has boundless energy and is always ready for an adventure. Ozzie would love a large grassy, fenced yard where he can run and play ball. Yet, he settles well and enjoys his snuggle time with his human. Ozzie does need more training to improve his behavior around other dogs. He gets overly excited when he encounters another dog at a park or on a trail, and plays too rough. He will not do well in a home with small dogs and NO cats. He is a quiet boy - he rarely barks. Ozzie will jump up on people and has to be told “down.” He means no harm, but he could easily knock down small children or older adults. He has no experience with children. Ozzie is a great dog in his current home with his senior owner, whose health challenges are making it difficult to give Ozzie the exercise, socialization and continued training that Ozzie needs. Ozzie would also do best in a home where his owner works from home or is retired and active. Ozzie is sure to excel with a new owner who is dog savvy, knows the breed well, and is dedicated to giving Ozzie exercise, structure and additional training. United Animal Friends offers very affordable training with Ozzie’s former trainer.
