WARNING - Graphic Pictures and Story Below

2/26/09

Say hello to our Ozzie Van Gough! He sure has been though more than any doggie should ever have to endure.

Ozzie was picked up as a stray in horrific condition by local animal control. He was filthy dirty and his coat was matted to the skin all over his entire body. His eyes were all matted and crusty, his nails were curling into his pads with balls of matted fur between the pads of his feet. His wee wee was all crusty and matted and his butt was so matted, he could not even go potty. worst of all, Animal Control made him sit and suffer like this in the Shelter for 5 days before they would release him to rescue.

I cannot even find the words to tell you what a sweet little man Ozzie is. He had to be miserable for months. He never once got upset with me or the staff at the Vet's. I even accidentally snipped his ear while I was trying to cut through his matted coat around his head. When the Vet was working on him, he discovered that his ear was already damaged from an old injury and that my little snip was not that bad. He did fix his ear as best he could however, part of it is missing now, hence his name, "Ozzie Van Gough.

He is emaciated but eating well. All his vetting is now complete and he will be ready for adoption very soon. In the meantime, please consider sponsoring him to help with his Vet bill and care. To date his bills are $425.00.

A very special thank your to the entire staff at Porter County Pet Clinic for transforming Ozzie into the new beautiful boy he is now!

Dr. Jeff estimates Ozzie to be 3-4 years old and right now he weighs 7 pounds but we need to get some weight back on him. If he is feeling up to it, I will bring him to our upcoming event at Petco on 3/15/09.

Ozzie is doing well. I still have him isolated from the general population because he is still very fragile. This morning when I checked on him, he got up and greeted me. When I stooped down to pet him he gave me kisses!!! He is the sweetest little guy.

In the past 2 days, Ozzie has come out of isolation and found his way to the kitchen door to go out, then to the living room, which is off limits to most. Today he was playing with my "little" girls, dragging toys up to the couch and right now he is snuggled up next to me in bed. He is going to make someone a lovable little boy I tell ya. I am in love, he is soooooo sweet!

Latest development! Ozzie loves to play fetch. We had quite fun last night. He truly loves all the toys he finds scattered about the house. He enjoys belly rubs and being as close to me as he can get.

Big thank yous to our generous supporters who have graciously covered his medical expenses! Soon as I get a little more weight on him, he will be ready for adoption.

Total raised to date from all sources

Ozzie's Vet bill is now covered. Thank you to our generous supporters.
His ongoing care is now minimal.
