Meet Hammy!<\/p>\n

Six-year-old Hammy (A580259) came to us about two months ago as a stray. The reason we named him Hammy was because not only is he a ham for the camera, but he also grunts and snorts like a pig. Hammy is adorable, affectionate and incredibly sweet. <\/p>\n

At 50 pounds, Hammy is on the small side, and he is a low rider. He\u2019s not great with other dogs, so he would probably do better in a home without other pets \u2014 not that he would cause a lot of damage in a scuffle, as Hammy has very small and blunted teeth. This is actually quite common with brachycephalic dogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hammy is healthy, muscular, and though he is very strong, he\u2019s not a leash-puller. Hammy prefers to lean on his person, and is constantly looking for approval and affection from everyone he meets.<\/p>\n

Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. every day except Wednesday, when it\u2019s open 2-6 p.m. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
