OZZY Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Bradenton, FL

After being at the shelter for months and shutting down, Ozzy (approx 2-3 years) made his way to his Ewenity foster home and is thriving.

Foster mom's update: He has transformed into a goofy, happy-go-lucky dog that just wants to play and be loved on. He lives with three female dogs and while he wishes that all of them would play with him only one does. He's very good at feeding time and stays away from the other dog's bowls . He hasn't shown any food aggression or guarding at all. He let's me pick up his bowl and takes treats gently . He loves all kinds of toys but will drop everything to play with a water hose! He is a shoe stealer (we're working on that) but he doesn't chew them. I found that if I say with a calm firm voice, Ozzy no. Sit. That's not a toy he will drop what he has . Otherwise he's always up for a game of keep away LOL He does good with my chickens. He will follow them but even if they fly in his face he never goes after them. He does not like to be led by holding his collar but he walks great on a leash. He knows Sit Stay lie down and gives his paw. He has a pretty good recall unless he's distracted by something and we are working on improving that too. He's high energy but settles down well in the house after playing. He loves to snuggle and lay right next to your side or at your feet. He still needs to learn that cats are not to be chased, but i think it will be easy because he easily learned with consistency that my chickens are off limits. Pictures do not do this handsome boy justice. He is absolutely gorgeous! He's very athletic and smart. I think he would excel in agility or dock diving, but would also be happy with a good playmate.
He is doing much better on his recall and knows what "in the house" means.
Heh as been to Lowes and many other dog friendly places and does great. He met a tiny dog and Tried to play with her.
