Fozzy - Australian Shepherd and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Effingham, Illinois

GLOW UP FRIDAY!!
And since we’re apparently on a DOODLE kick around here, let us introduce you to the newly transformed FOZZY!!
Can we get a round of applause for this handsome boy?!
A HUGE thank you to Blake at The Howlin Hound - Dog Grooming for giving Fozzy a fresh start and a whole new look!
Fozzy came to us with so much matting that his coat had to be clipped pretty close. But you know what? We like to think of it as shaving away the past and making room for a brand-new beginning.
New haircut. Fresh start. Better days ahead!
And underneath all that shaggy fur? One absolutely adorable, happy-go-lucky boy who is ready to find his forever family!

Meet Fozzy!
*1–2 years old
*Doodle
*Good with other dogs
*Good with cats
*Good with kids
*Appears to be house-trained
*Incredibly sweet, playful, and full of personality!

Fozzy isn’t worried about his short haircut. He’s too busy enjoying life! And besides, the hair will grow back. What we really want to see grow is his future with a family who will love him forever.
Fozzy’s past is behind him. Now he just needs someone to be part of his next chapter.

Please SHARE this handsome boy! Let’s make sure his glow-up ends with the best transformation of all: FROM SHELTER DOG TO BELOVED FAMILY MEMBER!
