About Us
Wizard, the Dog of the Day
Name: Wizard
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Male Breed: Portuguese Water Dog
Home: Northridge, California, USA
 
   Wizard is our third Portuguese Water Dog, or Portie, and he is the friendliest dog I know. Wizard thinks everyone he meets is a "dog person," and is frankly surprised and disappointed when someone is not equally thrilled to meet him. He excelled at Agility Training when he was younger, but found his true calling when he became part of the Pet Therapy Program at Northridge Hospital Medical Center three years ago. His weekly visits cheer up patients and staff alike, and he truly looks forward to his time "at work."

    Wizard loves to swim (water is his middle name, after all), play ball, and go for his daily walk through our neighborhood, where he is known by everyone. Originally from Denver, Wiz has become a true California boy, enjoying the fine weather and the year-round opportunity to swim in the pool or ocean.

    He has many dog buds nearby including a Bernese Mountain Dog, an Airedale Terrier, and a Labradoodle. Wiz is active, strong, healthy, and one of the happiest dogs around.
