Meet Ozzy - courtesy post
Meet Ozzy! This sweet boy is a tripod Cattle Dog, estimated to be around 2-3 years old.
Ozzy’s owner passed away suddenly, leaving him and his dog brother behind. He now needs a safe, soft, permanent, and loving place to land.
Ozzy was rescued by his previous owner a year ago from the desert in New Mexico where he was found totally alone and badly injured, resulting in his left front leg being amputated. Ozzy doesn’t let this get him down though -- he's the sweetest and most loyal doggie companion!
Ozzy is very smart. He makes direct eye contact and looks for information, direction, and guidance. He is friendly with dogs, cats, and people and loves being outside.
He's settling nicely into his foster home. He is very quiet, doesn’t bark at neighbors or people/cars coming by, and is very low key. He likes to chill out and be close to his human/s.
Ozzy is great in the car and fine in the house (free roam, not destructive). He is fully housetrained and great at taking care of his business outside. He does like to chase squirrels but is learning ‘we don’t do that’ with nice redirection.
Ozzy could thrive in a variety of settings, and would do best with children 12+. A fenced in backyard, a doggy friend, and limited stairs would be ideal.
He needs someone who is committed to gentle short walks and a weight plan so he can shed some pounds and help his joints. He would benefit from joint supplements and quality kibble/food.
Ozzy bonds tightly with his human/s and loves to snuggle on the couch and in bed, but also understands when given loving direction to hang out in his own doggie beds. He isn’t big on dog toys but does like things to chew on occasionally (i.e. antler bone).
For more info and/or to apply to adopt Ozzy, send us an email at [email protected], telling us a bit about yourself, your home environment and your lifestyle. A volunteer will get back to you shortly.

Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Summit Dog Rescue often helps dogs and cats outside our organization to find their forever homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners and other rescues, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resouce to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner or rescue, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Summit Dog Rescue in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post dog or cat is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the adopter. In addition, SDR cannot take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out.
Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you’re interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it’s just so we can help the owner or rescue connect with applicants. You’ll be adopting your new pet directly from the owner or the other rescue, not from Summit Dog Rescue. Please let us know if you’re comfortable with us sharing your information with the owner of the courtesy post pet.
