Description
Dog Breed: Silky Terrier (medium coat). Ozzie is an independent, senior fella who is ready to find a home of his home. He can be a sensitive boy who takes time for his personality to shine. He can be nervous about being handled and picked up so he would benefit from a patient home where he can settle in at his own pace. Ozzie loves to go on sniffy walks and get lots of snacks. He seems to like other low key, social dogs and would likely enjoy a well matched canine companion.

Overview:
The Silky Terrier is a charming and spirited companion, originating in Australia in the late 19th century. Bred from the Yorkshire and Australian Terriers, they were developed to be versatile pets, suitable for both companionship and pest control. Physically, Silkys are small, elegant dogs, typically weighing between 8-10 pounds, distinguished by their long, flowing, steel-blue and tan coat that is remarkably soft to the touch – hence their name. Beneath this beautiful coat lies a sturdy and agile body. Temperamentally, they are known for being alert, confident, and intelligent, possessing a typical terrier zest for life. Despite their small size, they are quite active and enjoy playtime, but also relish curling up for a cuddle. Their adaptable nature makes them suitable for various living situations, including apartment living, provided they receive regular exercise and mental stimulation. They can be good with respectful children and other pets, though early socialization is key. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of breed-specific concerns such as patellar luxation and dental issues. With proper care and training, a Silky Terrier makes a delightful and devoted family member.
