My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ozzie is a 7 year old sweetheart. He looks like a mini-Aussie with a curly tail, but we know his dad was a Chihuahua. Ozzie loves people, gets along well with other polite dogs (that stay out of his face) and does well with cats that are dog savvy (and don't run). He is quiet and pretty much feels his job is to stick by your side at all times unless he is making a quick tour of the yard. He is not overly clingy, he just likes to hang out and keep you company. Don't get me wrong, Ozzie loves to be petted when you are in the mood, but will not pester you. Ozzie is house trained, walks nicely on lead, and is a real charmer.

Ozzie just had a dental cleaning and four teeth were removed. During this procedure it was noted he does have a "bad" heart murmur (a "5" out of "6") which the vet suggested was due to his teeth being neglected for so long. However, Ozzie does not appeared bothered by it in the least, shows no symptoms of a heart murmur (such as tiredness, labored breathing or coughing), and does not need any medication.

If you are interested in adding this charming boy to your household, please email HPHS@Ymail.com and let us know a little about your family. Ozzie is neutered, up to date on shots, micro-chipped and ready for his new home. His adoption fee is just $120.
