Ozzie (Courtesy Listing)

Meet Ozzie! This handsome 1-year-old blue merle Queensland Heeler mix weighs 45 lbs and has striking black and white markings. Ozzie is a truly affectionate boy who is athletic and intelligent, always ready for an adventure, yet he also loves to settle down for snuggle time. He's already house, crate, and leash trained, knows "sit" and "give paw," and rides well in the car. He thrives on a schedule and enjoys walks and hikes.

Ideal Home

Ozzie would be happiest in a home with a large, grassy, fenced yard where he can safely run and play. When he gets bored, he might dig, so providing him with chew toys like antlers will help redirect his energy.

Ongoing Health

No specific ongoing health concerns were mentioned in his listing.

Training & Support

Ozzie gets overly excited around other dogs and can play too rough at the dog park. He also jumps up on people and needs to be told "down" to avoid knocking over children or adults. He would benefit from continued training and structure to help him improve his behavior in different settings. United Animal Friends offers affordable training with his former trainer; more information can be found at meetup.com/UnitedAnimalFriends.
