Ozzy

Français ci-dessous<br/><br/>Ozzy is a 2.5-year-old male dachshund looking for his forever home. Breed experience is definitely an asset.<br/><br/>Ozzy was surrendered along with another dachshund named Harper, who is also available for adoption. While they are not a bonded pair, it would be wonderful to see them adopted together. That said, he can absolutely be adopted on his own.<br/><br/>Ozzy is an extremely affectionate, cuddly little dog who thrives on attention and human companionship. He loves to snuggle, give kisses, and stay close.<br/><br/>He is the more sensitive of the two siblings and can be a little anxious at first, especially around men, but he warms up quickly with patience and kindness. Once he feels secure, his sweet personality really shines. Ozzy can also be a bit of an escape artist when settling into a new environment, so even in a fenced yard, close supervision is important while he adapts.<br/><br/>Ozzy has lived peacefully with other dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. He may be slightly reactive to some dogs during introductions, but this appears manageable with proper guidance. He will need continued support with housetraining and leash walking, but he has made good progress and should continue to improve with consistency.<br/><br/>Ozzy is overweight at approximately 23 lbs and will need to slim down. His ideal weight should be about 20 lbs. It is especially important for this breed to maintain a healthy weight due to their short legs, long backs, and susceptibility to back issues. A consistent exercise routine and proper diet will be key.<br/><br/>While Ozzy is a small dog, he still needs daily walks, not just for physical exercise but also for mental stimulation. A backyard is great for playtime, but it does not replace the enrichment and structure that regular walks provide.<br/><br/>Ozzy is a loving companion who, with stability and care, will form a deep bond with his new family.<br/><br/>To inquire about adoption, please contact our dog adoption coordinator Brenda at 819.876.7747 any day of the week between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.<br/><br/>*****************<br/>Ozzy est un teckel mâle de 2,5 ans à la recherche de sa famille pour la vie. Une expérience avec la race est un atout important.<br/><br/>Ozzy a été amené au refuge avec une autre teckel nommée Harper, qui est également disponible à l’adoption. Bien qu’ils ne soient pas un duo inséparable, il serait merveilleux de les voir adoptés ensemble. Cela dit, Ozzy peut tout à fait être adopté seul.<br/><br/>Ozzy est un petit chien extrêmement affectueux et câlin qui s’épanouit grâce à l’attention et à la présence humaine. Il aime se blottir, donner des bisous et rester près de ses humains.<br/><br/>Il est sensible et peut être un peu anxieux au début, surtout avec les hommes, mais il s’adapte rapidement avec de la patience et de la douceur. Une fois en confiance, sa personnalité douce et attachante ressort pleinement. Ozzy peut aussi être un petit fugueur lors de son adaptation à un nouvel environnement, donc même dans une cour clôturée, une supervision étroite est importante au départ.<br/><br/>Ozzy a vécu en harmonie avec d’autres chiens, des chats, des poules et des chevaux. Il peut être légèrement réactif lors de certaines introductions avec d’autres chiens, mais cela semble bien gérable avec un bon encadrement. Il aura besoin de poursuivre son apprentissage de la propreté et de la marche en laisse, mais il a déjà fait de beaux progrès et devrait continuer à s’améliorer avec de la constance.<br/><br/>Ozzy est en surpoids à environ 23 lb et devra perdre du poids. Son poids idéal devrait être d’environ 20 lb. Il est particulièrement important pour cette race de maintenir un poids santé en raison de leurs pattes courtes, de leur long dos et de leur prédisposition aux problèmes de dos. Une routine d’exercice régulière et une alimentation adaptée seront essentielles.<br/><br/>Même s’il est de petite taille, Ozzy a besoin de promenades quotidiennes, non seulement pour l’exercice physique, mais aussi pour la stimulation mentale. Une cour est un bel atout, mais ne remplace pas les promenades et l’enrichissement qu’elles apportent.<br/><br/>Ozzy est un compagnon affectueux qui, avec stabilité et bienveillance, développera un lien profond avec sa nouvelle famille.<br/><br/>Pour toute demande d’adoption, veuillez communiquer avec notre coordonnatrice des adoptions canines, Brenda, au 819.876.7747, tous les jours entre 8 h et 20 h.
