Ozzy D17698

My story

Hi! My name is Ozzy and I am from Texas. From his foster: He loves taking naps, going for car rides, walks, or just hanging out with his humans. He is doing very well with potty training and crate training. From the vet team: After coming into rescue, it was discovered that I had a serious heart murmur. An echocardiogram with the University of Minnesota Cardiology determined that the cause of my murmur was 2 heart defects. PDA (Patent ductus arteriosus - a defect that causes the ductus arteriosus to not close properly at birth) and pulmonic stenosis (a narrowing of the pulmonic valve). I had heart surgery where a device was placed in my artery to close the hole caused by the PDA defect. My recheck echocardiogram performed in Feb 2025 showed that the device placed in my heart well placed and helping to regulate my conditions. I will not need further surgeries and the cardiologists expect me to live a very close to normal life. I will be on medications life long and they recommend annual echocardiograms along with annual wellness exams (until otherwise recommended) to ensure the device and medication plan is still compensating for my conditions well. Once me neuter is completed I will be ready to go to my forever home! Could that be you?
