This Mini Aussie’s Dad Died And So Did His Brother: Now He’s Looking For A Loving New Home
Charlotte, North Carolina. Ozzie is an adorable 5-year-old mini Australian Shephard from the Charlotte, North Carolina area.
Ozzie’s dad got him back when he was just a puppy, and his dad has had him for his entire life. Sadly, Ozzie’s dad passed away recently, leaving him in need of a loving new home.
“Ozzie needs your help,” a woman named Alexia wrote in a Facebook post a couple of hours ago.
“His story will break your heart. Comes with family pledges. Please like, comment and share… any action shows you care.”
“Living in a remote area with their beloved owner, Aussie brothers Ozzie and Auggie, found themselves in great peril last month when their dad passed unexpectedly.”
“With no one to help and no one aware of their plight, the brothers faced days and then weeks of trying to survive on their own.”

“Whether of hunger or a broken heart, at some point, Auggie curled up on his daddy’s lap and passed too.”
The odds were certainly stacked against Ozzie, but he pulled through. He survived his situation, but his life is in jeopardy once again if he can’t be placed with a family that will love and provide for him.

Ozzie is currently at a local animal shelter, and according to the shelter, he is neutered, up to date on all of his shots, and heartworm negative.
The downside is that Ozzie is very overweight for his breed, coming in at 57 pounds. He also has very heavily matted fur.
He’s completely kind and loving towards people, but he’s really not the best with other dogs even though he lived with another dog in his previous home.
“And while Ozzie peacefully cohabitated with his brother dog, the shelter found him to be moderately dog reactive and poorly socialized,” Alexia said.

“As such, they don’t have a nearby rescue willing to pull him and will not rule out the possibility of euthanasia.”
“In the depths of mourning and unable to adopt themselves, Ozzie’s extended human family reached out for help. They care deeply about his future and have pledged support to any reputable, integrious rescue willing to save him.”
If you can step up to give Ozzie a loving home, Alexia can help arrange him a ride out of the state of North Carolina.
