My story

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

Mozzarella is a 5 year old big, beautiful boy that is so deserving of a whole new life! He was found last summer in such a sad, sickly state. He's had lots of good medical care and he's looking and feeling like brand new now! He does have hypothyroidism which he'll need meds for indefinitely, but it's a small price to pay to have big Mozz in your life! The better Mozzarella felt, the more he began showing us who he really was, and who Mozzarella is is a big, playful, goofy puppy in a grown dog's body! He loves toys and zooming around and getting ridiculous. He needed some help with playing politely and now that he's receiving training, he's doing fantastic! He'll need an experienced home though, where he will continue following the rules. Mozz is a loving, sweet, affectionate dog. He loves people however, he's not a fan of other pets. He's so smart and eager to please, and he'll bring lots of joy to your life if you give him the chance! Contact us at 609-693-1900 or office@ahsppz.org for an application. File#67316. 8/21/23
