Ozzie is a people-oriented pointer mix who recently lost his family to cancer. He needs a break in his luck, and we’re hoping the Patch community can help.
Meet Ozzie, a unique looking pointer mix with a beautiful spotted brindle coat, a curly tail, and a winning smile.

Five things to help you get your day started.
1. Heavy rainfall is expected in the afternoon, with highs in the upper 70s. There is a chance of thunderstorms in the evening with lows in the low 60s. 2. Celebrate Fall at Westfield Wheaton. Kids can make a leaf crown, listed to stories and enjoy a healthy snack. Activities start at 11 a.m. 3. If you didn’t get a chance to meet Izzy—30 pounds of sweetness—check her out now! 4. Bookmark Wheaton Patch so you can easily come back later today to see some great houses in House Hunt, plan for weekend trips with our Metro guide and much more. 5. The Freestate on Veirs Mill Road still has Wheaton’s cheapest gas at $3.41 per gallon (down two cents from yesterday). The Sunoco next door is second at $3.53 per gallon.
