Ozzy

This is our sweet guy Ozzy! Our foster from the Staunton–Augusta–Waynesboro Animal Shelter, and we can’t believe he’s still looking for his forever home!  Ozzy is a 4.5-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix, weighing 71 lbs of pure love. He is truly the sweetest boy and just wants to be loved and included. He has the biggest heart and the softest soul

Some notes!:

• Fully potty trained

• Neutered & vaccinations up to date

• Knows basic commands and listens VERY well

• Great with kids

• Good with other dogs when properly introduced

• Loyal, affectionate, and eager to please

• Loves attention, cuddles, and being near his people

•Not a fan of cats, so a cat-free home would be best

Ozzy would thrive in a home where he can be part of the family — whether that’s going on walks, hanging out on the couch, or just being your shadow. He has so much love to give and deserves a home that will love him back just as much ❤️

If you or someone you know is looking for a sweet, well-trained, loving companion, please message me to meet Ozzy. Even sharing this post helps him get one step closer to his forever home!
