Ozzy is a 1-year-old Mixin East Pittsburgh , PA, who needs $2,000 for Posterior Cervical Spinal Fusion.

Little Ozzy is a rescue dog that didn't have a great start to life. He was rescued January of 2023 and has been living a good life since. He is a little 14 pound mixed breed that whole-heartedly believes he's a giant. He currently lives with me and his big brother Otho who is also a rescue. Together the two of them have a great time together and do nothing without the other one joining in.

Ozzy is the star of the show when he is around. He absolutely loves his doggy brother and any attention anyone is willing to give him. He will snuggle right up to be as close to us as possible. He loves to be held but also loves to run around and play with his little family just as much. If things are to boring for him he will get everyone going with his fun little bark and some zoomies.

Ozzy is absolutely a character. I've never seen another dog like him nor have I seen another little guy with such confidence. He absolutely lights up a room or doggy park as soon as he comes in. There isn't a day that goes by that his little facial expressions or crooked ears don't make me smile or giggle. He also makes his doggy brother very happy by playing with him all the time.

Ozzy unfortunately was born rough. He currently is going through a medical emergency for a broken neck which was caused by the fusion of 4 of his vertebrae in his neck. This occurred in the womb but now an emergency surgery is needed to allow Ozzy to walk again. He is currently beinf treated at Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center in North Hills. This surgery is needed to save him.

Financially I am the only provider for my home as it is just me and my dogs. This restricts what I can and can't afford and with a very large cost like this it has put me in a financial burden. However, whatever my pets need I will provide no matter what state it puts me in.
