Ozzie is a 11 year old Mix-Breed in Boca raton, FL, who needs $2,000 for Cytology, Radiology, and Surgery.

I got Ozzie in 2013. My old manger had both of his parents and one day told me he would soon have puppies. When they were born he was the one who stood out bc he was jet black. Later his brindle stripes started to come in. I named him Ozzie after Ozzie Smith growing up a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan. We currently have 3 dogs and he’s the old man of the group

Ozzie has recently been found to have a heart murmur and two growths. One on his leg and the other on his foot/toe. The one on his foot has recently opened up and we are having to have it removed via surgery but not sure how in depth they will have to go. Having a heart issue also makes the anesthesia difficult.

Ozzie is literally the sweetest dog and has been his whole life. He grew up around both my niece and nephew. He also has been a consistent part of my life even during my struggles with drugs and alcohol, and now a part in my recovery, sober 8 years now. Needless to say my priority was not always him during those times but it is now.

I recently was forced to change positions at my job due to a change in our company which came a significant pay cut and me and my girlfriend recently found out we are expecting our first child and just recently purchased a new home.
