Ozzy was surrendered around 4 years ago because of his behavioral challenges (he had generalized anxiety due in part to being fully deaf and in part to not being in the right environment for him - his owner felt as though she contributed to that feeling with her own emotions no matter how happy and safe she tried to make him feel),

Unfortunately she was not able to find any home or rescue that was willing to take him in because he was deemed "unadoptable" and his bite history, though minor, made him a liability to everyone she reached out to. She did not want to relinquish him to a shelter that she knew would mean certain euthanasia.

Ozzy can be vocal when meeting new people from behind the fence but has done wonderfully with those he meets "in person."

Most of all he loves the booty scratches.
