Ozzy ☺️

Ozzy is proof that the tiniest souls can leave the biggest impressions. Born 2/22/24, this precious Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix weighs just above 4½ pounds full grown and is naturally petite in every way. With a Shih Tzu mama and Yorkie daddy, Ozzy is a perfect blend of sweetness, loyalty, and charm wrapped into one adorable little companion.

Ozzy has an endearing sparkle to him. While calm and gentle like his brother, he has a slightly more inquisitive nature that makes him so fun to watch. He notices everything, takes in the world around him, and seems genuinely interested in being part of whatever life is happening around him. He is not wild or busy, just beautifully engaged in the sweetest little way.

His previous owner loved him deeply, but with a demanding work schedule, she knew Ozzy deserved more companionship than she could provide. She recognized how much he thrives in the presence of his person and wanted him to have a life where he felt included, cherished, and no longer left waiting for someone to come home. It was a heartbreaking but loving decision made entirely for him.

Ozzy is calm, easygoing, and wonderfully adaptable. He is not a barker. He is more of an observer who would happily sit beside you and quietly watch the world go by. Whether it is relaxing at home, joining you on errands, or sitting together at the park, Ozzy just wants to be part of your day.

Because of his tiny size, Ozzy does need to be accompanied outside for potty breaks due to wildlife concerns. He depends on his people to safely take him out throughout the day. He also understands puppy pads if that is preferred in his next home. He is crate trained and sleeps peacefully through the night, though if it were up to him, he would much rather be close to his person in bed or curled nearby in his own cozy bed.

Leash walking was never really introduced before coming to us, so that can be learned in his next home if desired. Thankfully, Ozzy’s tiny size makes him incredibly easy to bring along anywhere in a sling, carrier, stroller, or lovingly tucked into your arms.

Ozzy is wonderful with other dogs, cats, men, women, and children alike. He is gentle and social without being overwhelming. He also does beautifully at the groomers and is an absolute angel on the table. Car rides and road trips are something he has already shown he enjoys.

Ozzy would be perfect for someone wanting a tiny best friend with a peaceful heart and a curious little spirit. He is the kind of dog who will make everyday moments feel sweeter simply because he is there.

His adoption fee is $2,000. This includes his neuter, dental cleaning and polish, vaccines, microchip, and a thorough exam with our vet. It also helps cover the months of care, training, grooming, and love invested into him while in rescue. Ozzy is freshly groomed and ready to meet the person he has been waiting for.
