Ozzie is a smooth haired short legged 2 year old male Jack Russell Terrier. Multiple homes/names we were his 6th. Mixes well with dogs, cats, people and likes company. After the RTA he has a plate in back left leg. Our vet removed his hip joint and it is now supported successfully by ligaments which serve him well. Generally OK with visitors, but may get concerned. Ideal for multi-dog/cats household.

Ozzie has a footballer feel. He wants to be pottering about, following his family around, but can be left. He isn’t too demanding, but having said that he needs a family there for his needs as he has had multiple homes and came originally to us frightened of traffic, strangers and ‘in pain’. He has lived successfully for a year in circumstances which changed soon after homing and left him as an only dog metering out the hours. We are looking for a family life where he can enjoy trips in the car, walks around the park, shadowing his family in the kitchen, in the garden or sitting at your feet under the computer table.

When in pain Ozzie’s mood can be down and we believe gentle pottering around will keep his back leg fluid and avoid stiffness and pain. Ozzie is a young dog and has a lovely spirit of adventure and he adores outings. Ozzie definitely has some ghosts from his past which surface when he is down, but in a family where there is a good balance between dog activities, ‘play and walks’ with domestication this will give him the opportunity to ‘actively watch’ and receive affection on his terms. Ozzie the footballer is more of a ‘goalie’ player, an avid follower and fan. But love sport he does.

“Please note that this dog is currently in kennels and is also available for foster until a ‘forever’ home is found”.
