All people inquiring about pets listed as Courtesy Listings on the EAPL website and/or EAPL posting adoption boards should contact the current pet owner/rescue/shelter for answers to any questions and for final approval and placement. Please do not contact EAPL about courtesy listings. The pet owner/rescue/shelter and new owner shall make all arrangements on transferring the pet, including information on history, vaccines, etc. Call Kristine at 720-496-5477 ( kgrosland@gmail.com ) or Elly at 303-868-9334 ( elisalipovsky@gmail.com ) to meet him! This is sweet Ozzy. He is a tripod cattle dog, estimated around 2-3 years old. Ozzy’s owner passed away suddenly, leaving him and his dog brother behind, and he now needs a safe, soft, permanent, and loving place to land. Ozzy was rescued by his previous owner a year ago from the desert in New Mexico where he was found totally alone and badly injured, resulting in his right front leg being amputated. Ozzy doesn’t let this get him down though - he is the sweetest and most loyal doggie companion! Ozzy is very smart. He makes direct eye contact and looks for information, direction, and guidance. He is friendly with dogs, cats, and people and loves being outside. He is settling nicely into his foster home. He is very quiet, doesn’t bark at neighbors or people/cars coming by, and is very low-key. He likes to chill out and be close to his human/s. Ozzy is great in the car and fine in the house (free roam, not destructive). He is fully housetrained and great at taking care of his business outside. He does like to chase squirrels but is learning ‘we don’t do that’ with nice redirection. Ozzy could thrive in a variety of settings, and would do best with children 12+. A fenced in backyard, a doggy friend, and limited stairs would be ideal. He needs someone who is committed to gentle short walks and a weight plan so he can shed some pounds and help his joints. He would benefit from joint supplements and quality kibble/food. Ozzy bonds tightly with his human/s and loves to snuggle on the couch and in bed, but also understands when given loving direction to hang out in his own doggie beds. He isn’t big on dog toys but does like things to chew on occasionally (i.e. antler bone). See his pictures below! Call Kristine 720-496-5477 or Elly 303-868-9334 to meet him!
