Odie - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Joliet, Illinois

MEET ODIE — A GENTLE SOUL WITH SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE!

Not every puppy is a whirlwind of energy, and Odie is proof that sometimes the sweetest ones are the quietest.

Odie is a handsome 10-month-old, 44-pound Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix with a gentle heart and an easygoing personality.

While he enjoys playing with his canine friends, Odie is just as happy relaxing on the couch and spending time with his people. He doesn’t have that crazy puppy energy you might expect from a young herding breed!

Wonderful with other dogs
Sweet, gentle, and submissive
Smart and listens well
Making great progress with house training
Loves companionship and affection

Odie would truly thrive in a home with another friendly, confident dog. He loves following their lead, and having a canine companion would help him continue building confidence.

He’s still learning that being alone is okay and would love a patient family to help him along the way.

Odie isn’t asking for much. Just a family to love, a furry friend to share his days with, and a cozy spot to call his own.
