Ozzy is a 2-year-old Miniature Doberman in Oakland, CA, who needs $2,000 for IVDD/MRI.

Ozzie and I have been together for about a year. I got him from a rescue in Colusa County. He is a real sweetheart he’s a great companion and so much fun to be around. He always has a smile on his face and gives me plenty of kisses. He would leap into my arms, stand on my chest, and looked me in the eye like it’s something really serious to tell me. Sometimes he would just lick my face like crazy.

Ozzie is very young and he was very energetic. He is a great companion to me and to my other dog. Together we make a family. He’s very protective but warms up to people after sometime. He loves belly rubs and head rubs and he hates it when I use the Internet when I’m supposed to be focusing on him. I love him desperately.

Ozzie is special because he’s absolutely adorable sweet and kind. He’s always excited to see me and sometimes a jump as high as my waist when we’re apart. He’s a great companion, he loves to snuggle, he loves to kiss and he loves to let me know how much I mean to him. And I tell him every day how much she means to me.

I’ve always known Ozzie to be healthy. He has a lot of energy but all that changed last night. Around 11 PM he was making sounds as though he was in pain. He became very stiff and rigid he became unable to stand on his hind legs and he’s been dragging them around since last night. I took him to pet emergency in Berkeley and they advised me he needs surgery.

I am on a fixed income and I making half of what I made before. It would mean the world to me to have his health back to see him walking, and to see his smiling face and And to be able to hold him and tell him that I love him
