Ozzy

Ozzy is a 2 years and 2 months old medium sized cross breed. He is a friendly dog who is good with strangers but can be worried until he gets to know you. We are looking for a local home for Ozzy as he will need training and may need frequent visits to us for advice.

He will need someone who is home most of the time as he is not fully housetrained. He would be better in a home with another dog as he has lived with one in the past and responds well to them and it will give him more confidence. Ozzy will need to be in an adult only household. If someone can give Ozzy the time and training he will make a lovely pet.

To adopt Ozzy please contact The Blue Cross in Thirsk on 01845 577759 or email thirsk@bluecross.org.uk
