If ever there were a dog who defines the word “miracle,” it’s Ozzy.

At just one year old, this tiny poodle mix has already survived more than most dogs ever will. He beat Parvo, one of the deadliest puppy viruses, and then survived being run over by a car—a tragedy that left both of his back legs badly injured and degloved.

Thanks to the incredible team at ACCESS Specialty Animal Hospital, one of Ozzy’s legs was saved entirely, and surgeons were able to preserve most of his other leg through a complex skin graft procedure. He’s been in and out of the hospital for months, bravely enduring weekly bandage changes and long days of recovery with his trademark tail wagging through it all.

Now, this little fighter is getting ready for the next chapter of his journey—his custom prosthetic that will help him run, play, and live the full puppy life he deserves.

Ozzy’s heart is as big as his story. He’s gentle, endlessly affectionate, and happiest when he’s pressed up against you, reminding everyone he meets that love really does heal all wounds. He’s a living testament to why we do what we do—because every life, no matter how broken, is worth saving.
