Dec. 7, 2016:  Hey everyone, I'm Ozzy. I know I am cute, but there is so much more to me than good looks. I am smart and loving and will most definitely make someone a great companion.

When I think about life, what comes to mind first is squeaky toys. I just absolutely adore them and if given the choice, I would carry one around with me all the time (even when running my daily laps around the shelter).

Okay, just between us, I am going to admit it; I'm a tiny bit spoiled. I enjoy going for walks, but when I get tired or cold, I really appreciate being picked up and carried like the royal gentleman that I am. Thankfully, I only weigh a few pounds, so I will not be much of a burden to you. Oh, and of course I have excellent personal hygiene and know how to do my business outside.

I used to be very independent and was found wandering the big streets all by myself. Now I am a little bit nervous when I first meet people; however, if they are nice to me, I quickly start to love them. Once I know you, I won't be able to help making you my snuggle buddy. Kisses and cuddles rock my world!

And even more great news, I just became available for adoption this week. I am hoping to find a new home for the holidays, so please come and meet me today at the Humane Society of Westchester. I am only ten minutes away from Bronxville at 70 Portman Road in New Rochelle. The shelter is open seven days a week from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm except Thursdays, when it is open from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

If you would like more information about how to adopt me, please contact the shelter at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 914-632-2925 or visit its website at www.HumaneSocietyofWestchester.org.
