Ozzie, a faithful and courageous police dog from Devon & Cornwall Police, has announced his retirement and is now on the lookout for a new home where he can relax and enjoy his well-deserved rest.
Career and Achievements
During his years of service, Ozzie has been a general-purpose police dog, trained in various skills, including apprehending suspects and locating high-risk vulnerable missing people.
At 43kg, Ozzie is a strong and powerful canine, having assisted in numerous operations that have led to the capture and arrest of criminals.
His career has been illustrious, but now, in his golden years, he’s ready to swap his police badge for a comfy dog bed.
Qualities and Preferences
Although Ozzie has been trained to bite, he is described by his handlers as a “lovable rogue and a real softy at heart” when off duty.
He has a strong bond with his human family and is eager to be a part of a new one.
However, it should be noted that Ozzie is not a fan of other dogs or cats.
His ideal home would be one without other pets but filled with humans who understand and appreciate his past and his needs.
Those with experience handling large dogs are especially encouraged to consider giving Ozzie a new home.
Exercise and Health
Despite stepping back from his police duties, Ozzie still has a lot of energy and will need regular exercise.
His future family should be prepared for daily walks and some playtime to keep him mentally and physically stimulated.
