Meet Andie, a sweet mama ready for her own next chapter! Andie is a sweet, smart Australian Cattle Dog mix who has been busy raising her 3 puppies, Lucky, Dusty, and Ned. Now that her little “Three Amigos” are ready for their next chapter, it’s Andie’s turn to receive some extra love and care.

Her biggest need right now is a committed foster home where she can settle in and complete heartworm treatment. She needs a quiet, calm environment with plenty of rest and strictly limited activity, following our veterinarian’s instructions.

Heartworms are spread through infected mosquitoes, they are not passed directly from one dog to another through playing, sharing bowls, or living together. Treatment is generally very successful, particularly in dogs with mild disease, and keeping Andie calm throughout her recovery is essential. (heartwormsociety.org)

The Ozzie Albies Foundation will cover her entire heartworm treatment. We will also cover her spay surgery once she has recovered and our veterinarian confirms she is ready. Her foster family will receive food, supplies, veterinary care, and guidance throughout the process, all at no cost.

Andie already has someone interested in adopting her, and we are continuing to accept adoption applications while we work toward finding her the right match.

Through our Best Chance Program, her future family will receive three required training sessions and ongoing support. Our trainers help families build a consistent routine through crate training, structured walks, feeding routines, and place work, with activities adjusted to Andie’s medical needs. The goal is to help her settle comfortably and give her family the tools to support her long term.

This loving mama has cared for her babies. Now she needs a peaceful place to land and someone committed to caring for her.

To foster or adopt Andie, visit www.ozziefoundation.org and complete an application. Her adoption fee is waived.

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

Our mission is to end the needless suffering some animals endure. We help pets in need through sheltering, adoption, education,...
