Oggy

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 9 years

Oggy is this endearing companion who, in confidence, will offer you sincere and overflowing love. A lover of walks and a fan of rolling around in the grass, he will make every outing joyful and intimate. A simple, authentic happiness, as true as he is. He is waiting for the right people to flourish fully. Oggy has a long journey behind him, 5 years in a shelter: arriving at the pound in 2018, being adopted and then abandoned after 3 years, passing through the refuge in Yvré l’Évêque, Nantes… he now seeks his permanent home. He will be the ideal companion for adults or older teenagers who can respect his pace and give him the time to open up. Not very tactile, he appreciates presence without necessarily seeking cuddles. He must be the only animal in the household. His arthritis requires adapted walks and daily treatment. Oggy only wants to finally have the chance to stay.
