July 2, 2016 will always be a very “Special Day” for the Avery Family. The arrival of “Ozzie” the “Gentle Giant” from Agag with his foster mom (a very special person) was truly a new beginning for all. His name was Oscar but his foster mom called him “Ozzie” and what a perfect name because we all love the movie “Wizard of Oz.” He is gentle, has courage, a big heart and most all loves all who surround him. Favorite times are his everyday walks to the park and being with Jedi, Wrinkles, Bella and Christy and lays beside Olivia his best friend (our granddaughter who was the fist to greet him as he arrived) We love you “Ozzie” and are so grateful to his foster mon and Agag. “There’s no place like home”.

Please note that we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care and our bios are our current observations; we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
