Ozzie Needs a Safe Place to Land
By Humane Society of Ventura County
Our beloved Ozzie has been at the shelter for nearly 300 days. This 5-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix has captured the hearts of staff and volunteers with his lively personality, love for toys, and signature zoomies. Now this cutie needs something more than playtime; he needs a soft, comfortable place to rest and heal. Recently, our animal care team noticed Ozzie showing signs of neck discomfort. After our veterinary team examined him, they deemed it necessary to send him for X-rays to investigate the issue further. After preliminary reviews of his X-rays, there were no obvious signs of medical concern. However, more information will be available once the full X-ray images are received and our veterinarians can take a deeper look. To help him stay comfortable in the meantime, he is receiving oral medications that need to be given consistently, one approximately every 8 hours and another every 24 hours. While Ozzie continues to receive excellent care from the shelter, a kennel environment simply can't compare to the comfort of a real home. A foster or adopter would make an incredible difference in his recovery and overall well-being. Ozzie's ideal foster or adopter would provide a quiet, comfortable environment with soft bedding, consistent medication on a schedule, and a gentle, loving routine to help him rest and relax.
