Ozone has been waiting since Christmas. 💔
When he first arrived at the shelter, he was so frightened that he would freeze and shake. The world didn’t feel safe to him, and after nearly 8 months of shelter life, he’s still waiting for someone who understands.
But Ozone is trying so hard to be brave.
With patience, he has blossomed into a gentle, affectionate dog who leans in for scratches, gives little kisses and stays close to the people he trusts. Outside, he loves exploring gardens, taking short walks and sniffing every interesting corner. Inside, rugs help him navigate the hard floors that still frighten him, and when he feels safe, he can finally relax.
Ozone needs a quiet, patient home where he can continue building confidence at his own pace. Because of his arthritis, a home with few or no stairs and with rugs would be best. He should not live with small pets, although a calm, well-matched dog may be okay after slow introductions.
He is 8 years old, only 51 pounds and heartworm positive, but PRC will provide his treatment at no cost to his adopter.
Ozone has spent long enough being brave by himself. Please help us find the person who will make him feel safe. ❤️
