My story

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


EXPERIENCED AND PATIENT ADOPTER ONLY
Ozzie and his brother Archie were from a chihuahua neglect and hoarding situation and were surrendered to a shelter where they made no progress in a year and were close to euthanasia. I worked very hard with them and they're ready for a home of their own but they need a SPECIAL person who can take on their issues. Ozzie was by far the worse of the two but has come the farthest. He LOVES his person and he's opening up to new people but will probably still connect best to one person. Ozzie loves to be held like a baby. He's quite active and loves to hike and go for walks/runs. He is learning to play and enjoys some gentle wrestling. He has learned to give kisses. He would make a great companion for a young person or maybe couple who can be patient in earning his trust. He has been mostly potty trained but still will mark and he will poop on the floor when mad. He kennels well. He is a great dog but needs someone who appreciates that small dog life
